GE Fanuc Embedded Systems’ VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC are full featured

Introduction

GE Fanuc Embedded Systems’ VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC are full featured

Pentium® M-based, single board computers (SBCs) in a single-slot, passively cooled,

VME Eurocard form factor. These products utilize the advanced technology of Intel®’s

855GME chipset.

The VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC provide features typically found on desktop

systems such as:

• 1.0GB DDR SDRAM using one SODIMM and an optional 512MB of solder-in

memory for a maximum of 1.5GB

• Built-in SVGA support (front panel connection)

• Digital video controller (rear I/O) DVI-D with dual head display capabilities

• 10/100 Mbit Ethernet controller (front panel connection)

• Dual Gigabit Ethernet supporting (front panel or rear I/O)

• Optional P0 with VITA 31.1 interface

• Serial ATA (SATA) support (rear I/O)

• Serial port COM1 (front panel connection)

• Ultra IDE drive support (rear I/O)

• Real-Time clock/calendar

• Front panel reset switch

• Miniature speaker

• Keyboard/Mouse port (front panel connection)

The 855GME chipset allows the VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC to provide enhanced

features such as integrated video and Ultra ATA/100 IDE support. The

VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC are capable of executing many of today’s desktop

operating systems such as Microsoft®’s Windows® XP, Windows 2000 and a wide

variety of Linux® based operating systems. The standard desktop features of the

VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC are described in Chapter 2 of this manual

The VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC provide features useful to embedded applications

such as:

• Three serial ports: COM2. COM3 and COM4 (rear I/O)

• Four USB 2.0 ports (two on front panel and two rear I/O)

• 32KB of nonvolatile RAM

• Remote Ethernet booting

• Up to 2GB of CompactFlash on secondary IDE (optional)

• Software-selectable Watchdog Timer with reset

Additionally, the VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC offer one PMC expansion site (PCI-X,

66MHz) with front panel access. The VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC are capable of

executing many of today’s operating systems such as VxWorks®, Solaris™ or QNX®.

The embedded features of the VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC are described in

Chapter 3 of this manual.

The VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC are suitable for use in applications ranging from

telecommunications, simulation, instrumentation, industrial control, process control

and monitoring, factory automation, automated test systems, data acquisition

systems and anywhere that the highest performance processing power in a single

VME slot is desired

The VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC incorporate the latest Intel chipset technology, the

855GME. This chipset utilizes Advanced Hub Architecture (AHA). The AHA allows

for increased system performance by separating many high-bandwidth I/O accesses

from PCI accesses, relieving bottlenecks on the PCI bus. Furthermore, the 855GME

chipset brings new levels of integration to motherboard chipsets and provides

additional features such as Integrated LVDS and Serial ATA
