ESM with Tualatin Pentium III Simple Type: CPU Board

The EM02 is a complete embedded single-board computer for use on any carrier board in different industrial environments. The final application consists either of a stand-alone EM02, the EM02 with an application-specific carrier card and/or with additionally plugged PCI-104 modules. The EM02 is controlled by an Ultra-Low Power Tualatin Pentium III with 933MHz or an Ultra-Low Voltage Tualatin Celeron Processor with 400MHz. It provides 16KB L1 cache controlled by processor programmable registers and 512KB/256KB L2 cache for ECC protected cache data array. The EM02 uses the Intel 815G chip set, including graphics. It provides one VGA connector, one USB connector Type A and one Gigabit or one Fast Ethernet interface at the front panel. It also has an SO-DIMM socket and a CompactFlash interface on board. As an alternative to onboard USB, legacy I/O is routed to the carrier board via the J2 system connector of the EM02. It includes a serial interface, (E)IDE, a hub interface for DVI/TFT/video, a floppy interface, as well as two PS/2 interfaces for keyboard and mouse. The EM02 is an ideal computing platform for embedded industrial PCs, offering the whole world of Windows and Linux based software, e.g. for infotainment applications. For a first evaluation of the functions of the EM02 it is strongly recommended to use the EK01 ESM starter kit. The kit consists of the standard CPU module, the carrier card with I/O connectors, an external PSU, and an adapter for mounting a PCI-104 module. ESM modules are complete computers on a plug-on module. They consist of the hardware (CPU, chip set, memory, I/O) which is not fixed to any application-specific function, and an FPGA programmed in VHDL code, which provides I/O that is also still independent of a specific application. ESM modules are based on PCI. They have two system connectors: J1 has a fixed signal assignment, while J2 is variable depending on the final application-specific configuration of the ESM and the carrier board. J2 also feeds the I/O signals of the functions programmed in the FPGA to the carrier card.
