F50C – Conduction Cooled 3U CompactPCI® MPC8548 CPU Board

F50C – Conduction Cooled 3U CompactPCI® MPC8548 CPU

Board

The F50C is a versatile, rugged PowerPC® based single-board computer for embedded applications with conduction cooling. It is controlled by an MPC8548, or optionally an MPC8543 PowerPC® CPU (alternatively with encryption unit) with clock frequencies between 800 MHz and 1.5 GHz. The SBC is equipped with ECCcontrolled, soldered-on DDR2 RAM for data storage, with up to 16 GB of solidstate Flash disk for program storage as well as industrial FRAM and SRAM.

The CPU card provides up to three Gigabit Ethernet channels, four USB ports, up to two SATA interfaces and up to 64 user-definable I/O lines controlled by its onboard

FPGA. These interfaces can be combined in many variations and are all available at the rear using the board's J2 connector. For first operation and service purposes, the board also includes a UART-to-USB port accessible at the front panel.

The F50C is based on a standard 3U CompactPCI® card that is embedded into a dedicated CCA frame for conduction cooling (CCA = conduction cooled assembly).

The 9-HP assembly can be used with MEN's conduction-cooled subrack . It is designed for operation in a -40°C to +85°C environment. For convection cooling, the F50P model is also available, which comes with a tailor-made heat sink for extended temperatures.

The large FPGA on the F50C allows to add additional user-defined functions such as graphics, touch, serial interfaces, fieldbus controllers, binary I/O etc. for the needs of the individual application in an extremely flexible way. Before boot-up of the system, the FPGA is loaded from boot Flash. Updates of the FPGA contents can be made inside the boot Flash during operation.

Equipped with a PCI-bridge chip, the F50C offers a full CompactPCI® interface

(system slot functionality) for reliable system expansion. Apart from that, the F50C can also be used as a busless, stand-alone board, with power supply from the backplane.

The soldered components on the F50C withstand shock and vibration, and the board design is optimized for conformal coating.

The F50C comes with MENMON™ support. This firmware/BIOS can be used for bootstrapping operating systems (from disk, Flash or network), for hardware testing, or for debugging applications without running any operating system.

Integrating the Board into a System

The F50C must be inserted into a system rack with conduction cooling that supports the CCA frame format (e.g. MEN’s 0701-0054 rack ).

You can use the following check list when installing the board in a system for the first time and with minimum configuration.

 Power-down the system.

 Remove all boards from the CompactPCI system.

 Insert the F50C into the system slot of your CompactPCI system, making sure that the CompactPCI connectors are properly aligned.

Note: The system slot of every CompactPCI system is marked by a triangle on the backplane and/or at the front panel. It also has red guide rails.

 Use a 2.5-mm hexagon torque wrench to fasten the two wedge locks in the rack.

You need to apply a turning moment (torque) of 0.8 Nm.

Note: For first installation and/or configuration you can also temporarily operate the card without a CompactPCI bus. In this case you only need to connect a suitable power supply to the CompactPCI J1 connector.

You should generally use a host computer for first operation, typically under Linux or Windows.

 Install a USB-to-UART driver on your host computer.

You can use a Windows driver provided by MEN (article number 13T005-70, third-party) or go to the FTDI web site ( www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm

) and download a driver there.

 Connect your host computer to the front panel USB-1 port of the F50C (UARTto-USB interface). To do this, you need a suitable USB cable (type A to A).

 Power-up the system.

 Start up a terminal program on your host computer, e.g. HyperTerm under Windows, and open a terminal connection.

 Set your terminal connection to the following protocol:

- 9600 baud data transmission rate

- 8 data bits

- 1 stop bit

- No parity

Functional Description

Functional Description

The following describes the individual functions of the board and their configuration on the board. There is no detailed description of the individual controller chips and the CPU. They can be obtained from the data sheets or data books of the semiconductor manufacturer concerned (

Chapter 5.1 Literature and

Web Resources on page 61 ).

2.1

Power Supply

The board is supplied via CompactPCI connector J1 with +5 V, +3.3 V and ±12 V.

All other required voltages are generated on the board.

The F50C may also be operated as a stand-alone card, without the CompactPCI bus.

In this case, power is also supplied via the J1 connector. Three voltages are needed:

+5 V, +3.3 V and +12 V.

2.2

Board Supervision

The board features a temperature sensor and voltage monitor.

A voltage monitor supervises all used voltages and holds the CPU in reset condition until all supply voltages are within their nominal values.

In addition the board contains a PLD watchdog that must be triggered. After configuration the CPU serves the PLD watchdog. The watchdog timeout is automatically set to 1.12 s after the first trigger pulse by the CPU.

The watchdog can be enabled or disabled through MENMON and can be triggered by a software application. This function is normally supported by the board support package (see BSP documentation).

Another watchdog device on the board has to be triggered by the FPGA and asserts a reset if the FPGA fails.

2.3

Real-Time Clock

The board includes an RA8581 real-time clock. Interrupt generation of the RTC is not supported. For data retention during power off the RTC is supplied by a

GoldCap.

A control flag indicates a back-up power fail condition. In this case the contents of the RTC cannot be expected to be valid. A message will be displayed on the

MENMON console in this case.

2.4.2

Thermal Considerations and Conduction Cooling

The F50C generates around 17 W of power dissipation when operated at 1.33 GHz.

The board was specially designed for conduction-cooled systems. It has an MEN

CCA frame 1 around a standard 3U CompactPCI card. The CCA frame is a heat sink assembly with wedge locks that meets thermal requirements.

Please note that if you use any other heat sink assembly than the CCA frame supplied by MEN, or no heat sink at all, warranty on functionality and reliability of the F50C may cease. If you have any questions or problems regarding thermal behavior, please contact MEN.

The Basics of Conduction Cooling

Conduction cooling is actually no cooling, it is a way to transfer energy from electronic components to a position which can be cooled. Aluminum or copper, for instance, can be used to connect the hot spots of the electronics to the outside of the housing. Outside airflow must be guaranteed by forced air flow. It is also possible to spread the heat to an even larger surface, e.g. by coupling the chassis wall to a metal wall of a vehicle.

How the F50C is Cooled

The F50C has a large CCA frame enclosing the board with a cover at the top side and a plate at the bottom side of the board. Both parts have thermal interfaces to key components. Heat is diverted from the components to the CCA frame cover and bottom plate, and on to its wedge locks at the card’s sides.

The F50C uses two five-section wedge-type locking devices (wedge locks) as expanders. Five-section expanders spread the expansion forces evenly over the board and create an efficient thermal transfer path from the board’s thermal interfaces to the chassis wall of the board rack.

The energy transferred to the chassis wall can now be diverted by convection with the help of the chassis cooling fins.

Bus Structure

2.5.1

Host-to-PCI Bridge

The integrated host-to-PCI bridge is used as host bridge and memory controller for the PowerPC processor. All transactions of the PowerPC to the PCI bus are controlled by the host bridge. The FRAM, SRAM and boot Flash are connected to the local memory bus of the integrated host-to-PCI bridge.

The PCI interface is PCI bus Rev. 2.2 compliant and supports all bus commands and transactions. Master and target operations are possible. Only big-endian operation is supported.

2.5.2

Local PCI Buses

Two local PCI buses are controlled by the integrated host-to-PCI bridge. One is connected to the PCI-to-USB bridge and runs at 33 MHz. The other connects the

PCI-to-SATA bridge and operates at 66 MHz. Board versions with the MPC8543 processor only have one local PCI bus operating at 33 MHz.

The I/O voltage is fixed to 3.3V. The data width is 32 bits.

2.5.3

Local PCI Express Connections

A PCI Express x1 link connects the PowerPC processor with the CompactPCI bus

(via a PCIe-to-PCI bridge) and with the FPGA.

2.6

Memory

2.6.1

DRAM System Memory

The board provides up to 2 GB onboard, soldered DDR2 (double data rate) SDRAM on nine memory components (incl. ECC). The memory bus is 72 bits wide and operates at up to 300 MHz (physical), depending on the processor type.

Depending on the board version the SDRAM may have ECC (error-correcting code). ECC memory provides greater data accuracy and system uptime by protecting against soft errors in computer memory.

2.6.2

FRAM

The board has up to 128 KB non-volatile FRAM memory connected to the local bus of the CPU.

The FRAM does not need a back-up voltage for data retention.

2.6.3

SRAM

The board has up to 2 MB non-volatile SRAM memory connected to the local bus of the CPU. For data retention during power off the SRAM is supplied with a backup voltage by a GoldCap.

2.6.4

Boot Flash

The board has 16 MB of onboard Flash. It is controlled by the CPU.

Flash memory contains the boot software for the MENMON/operating system bootstrapper and application software. The MENMON sectors are softwareprotected against illegal write transactions through a password in the serial

download function of MENMON (cf. Chapter 3.4.1 Update via the Serial Console using SERDL on page 41

).

2.6.5

Solid State Flash Disk

The board includes up to 16 GB soldered NAND Flash disk.

A solid state disk (SSD) is a data storage device that uses solid-state memory to store persistent data. An SSD behaves like a conventional hard disk drive. On F50C it has a PATA interface connected to a SATA-to-PATA bridge and controlled by one

SATA channel. (See also

Chapter 2.7 Mass Storage: Serial ATA (SATA) / SSD on page 27

.)

With no moving parts, a solid state disk is more robust, effectively eliminating the risk of mechanical failure, and usually enjoys reduced seek time and latency by removing mechanical delays associated with a conventional hard disk drive.

Functional Description

2.7

Mass Storage: Serial ATA (SATA) / SSD

The F50C provides three serial ATA channels through a PCI-to-SATA converter that is connected to the PowerPC processor via a dedicated 66-MHz PCI bus. (On board versions with the MPC8543 processor PCI-to-SATA shares one 33-MHz PCI bus with PCI-to-USB.)

The SATA interfaces support 1.5 Gbits/s.

One SATA channel is used for the SSD solid state Flash disk. (See also Chapter

2.6.5 Solid State Flash Disk on page 26

.) The other two SATA channels are led to the rear I/O J2 connector. The pin assignment is in compliance with the PICMG

2.30 CompactPCI PlusIO standard.

for J2 rear I/O pin assignments.

Please note that LAN-2 is not available on board versions with the MPC8543 processor.

The unique MAC address is set at the factory and should not be changed. Any attempt to change this address may create node or bus contention and thereby render the board inoperable. The MAC addresses on F50C are:

• LAN-0:

• LAN-1:

• LAN-2:

0x 00 C0 3A 87 xx xx

0x 00 C0 3A 88 xx xx

0x 00 C0 3A 89 xx xx where "00 C0 3A" is the MEN vendor code, "87", "88" and "89" are the MEN product codes, and "xx xx" is the hexadecimal serial number of the product, which depends on your board, e. g. "... 00 2A " for serial number "000042".

2.9.1

General

Ethernet is a local-area network (LAN) protocol that uses a bus or star topology and supports data transfer rates of 100 Mbits/s and more. The Ethernet specification served as the basis for the IEEE 802.3 standard, which specifies the physical and lower software layers. Ethernet is one of the most widely implemented LAN standards.

Ethernet networks provide high-speed data exchange in areas that require economical connection to a local communication medium carrying bursty traffic at high-peak data rates.

A classic Ethernet system consists of a backbone cable and connecting hardware

(e.g. transceivers), which links the controllers of the individual stations via transceiver (transmitter-receiver) cables to this backbone cable and thus permits communication between the stations.

2.9.2

10Base-T

10Base-T is one of several adaptations of the Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) standard for

Local Area Networks (LANs). The 10Base-T standard (also called Twisted Pair

Ethernet) uses a twisted-pair cable with maximum lengths of 100 meters. The cable is thinner and more flexible than the coaxial cable used for the 10Base-2 or

10Base-5 standards. Since it is also cheaper, it is the preferable solution for costsensitive applications.

Cables in the 10Base-T system connect with RJ45 connectors. A star topology is common with 12 or more computers connected directly to a hub or concentrator.

The 10Base-T system operates at 10 Mbits/s and uses baseband transmission methods.

2.9.3

100Base-T

The 100Base-T networking standard supports data transfer rates up to 100 Mbits/s.

100Base-T is actually based on the older Ethernet standard. Because it is 10 times faster than Ethernet, it is often referred to as Fast Ethernet. Officially, the 100Base-T standard is IEEE 802.3u.

There are several different cabling schemes that can be used with 100Base-T, e.g.

100Base-TX, with two pairs of high-quality twisted-pair wires.

2.9.4

1000Base-T

1000Base-T is a specification for Gigabit Ethernet over copper wire (IEEE

802.3ab). The standard defines 1 Gbit/s data transfer over distances of up to 100 meters using four pairs of CAT-5 balanced copper cabling and a 5-level coding scheme.

Because many companies already use CAT-5 cabling, 1000Base-T can be easily implemented.

Other 1000Base-T benefits include compatibility with existing network protocols

(i.e. IP, IPX, AppleTalk), existing applications, Network Operating Systems, network management platforms and applications.

CompactPCI Interface

The F50C is a 3U CompactPCI system slot board. It implements a 32-bit PCI interface to the CompactPCI backplane which uses a +3.3 V signaling voltage. It also tolerates +5 V.

The CompactPCI bus connects to the MPC8548/MPC8543 processor via a PCI

Express x1 link and a PCIe-to-PCI bridge.

The pin assignment of connector J1 as defined in the CompactPCI specification will not be repeated here.

2.11

Rear I/O

The F50C provides great flexibility for routing functions to rear I/O. An onboard

FPGA allows to implement customized functions on rear I/O connector J2 of the board, with a total available pin count of 64 pins. Different combinations of interfaces controlled by the CPU and the FPGA are possible.

The four USB ports are always routed to the J2 connector.

The Interface Configuration Matrix shows an overview of all varieties that are pos-

sible.

Chapter 2.11.2 Standard and Possible Pin Assignments on page 33 gives the

standard pin assignment along with possible signal routings.

In any case please contact our sales team for specially configured board versions.

This chapter only summarizes the board’s options.

User-Defined I/O from Onboard FPGA

The F50C provides an onboard FPGA. The component is a powerful Altera Arria

GX AGX35C device, and is connected to the CPU via a fast, serial PCI Express x1 link. It permits to configure the board’s rear I/O according to your needs without any hardware modifications.

With regard to the FPGA resources such as available logic elements or pins it is not possible to grant all possible combinations of FPGA IP cores.

You can find an overview and descriptions of all available FPGA IP cores on

MEN’s website .

Table 7, Pin assignment of rear I/O connector J2 – I/O options: maximum FPGA control on page 35

gives the I/O pins available for custom FPGA functions (64 pins).

2.11.1.1

Standard Factory FPGA Configuration

In addition to basic IP cores needed for the FPGA-internal infrastructure, the following IP cores are implemented in the standard model:

• 16Z043_SDRAM – Additional SDRAM controller (32 MB)

• 16Z034_GPIO – GPIO controller (14 lines, 2 IP cores)

• 16Z125_UART – UART controller (controls rear I/O COM1..4)

You can find more information on the SDRAM IP core in the 16Z043_SDRAM data sheet on MEN’s website.

You can find more information on the GPIO IP core in the 16Z034_GPIO data sheet on MEN’s website.

You can find more information on the UART IP core in the 16Z125_UART data sheet on MEN’s website.

Please see MEN’s website for up-to-date driver software and documentation.

Accessing the GPIO Pins

You can control the I/O lines using MDIS4 driver software available from MEN. By default, the GPIOs are configured as inputs. This configuration can be changed through the driver software.

The following table gives the assignment of the GPIO controllers implemented in the F50C’s FPGA to their function on the board. Normally you can identify the controllers by their instance numbers in your operating system.

3.2

Interacting with MENMON

To interact with MENMON, you can use the following consoles:

• UART-to-USB COM (via UART-to-USB interface)

• Rear I/O COM1..4 (FPGA-controlled)

• Touch panel / TFT interface (if present)

• Telnet via network connection

• HTTP /monpage via network connection

The default setting of the COM ports is 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and one stop bit.

3.2.1

Entering the Setup Menu/Command Line

During normal boot, you can abort the booting process in different ways during the self-test, depending on your console:

• With a touch panel press the "Setup" button to enter the Setup Menu.

• With a text console press the "s" key to enter the Setup Menu.

• With a text console press "ESC" to enter the command line.

By default, the self-test is not left until 3 seconds have elapsed (measured from the beginning of the self-test), even if the actual test has finished earlier, to give the user a chance to abort booting and enter the Setup Menu.

You can modify the self-test wait time through MENMON system parameter stwait

(see stwait ).

3.3

Configuring MENMON for Automatic Boot

You can configure how MENMON boots the operating system either through the

Setup Menu or through the command line.

In the Basic Setup Menu you can select the boot sequence for the bootable devices on the F50C. The selected sequence is stored in system parameter mmstartup as a string of MENMON commands. For example, if the user selects: "Int. CF, Ether,

(None)", the mmstartup string will be set to "DBOOT 0; NBOOT TFTP".

You can view and modify this string directly, using the Expert Setup Menu, option

Startup string, or through the command-line command EE-MMSTARTUP.

(See also MENMON 2nd Edition User Manual for further details.)

Update from Network using NDL

You can use the network download command NDL to download the update files from a TFTP server in network. The file name extensions, locations and passwords are the same as for the SERDL command.

3.4.3

Update via Program Update Menu

MENMON scans an external medium connected to the first USB port (USB0) for files named 14XM50*.SMM. The Program Update Menu will then give a list of all files on this medium conforming with this name pattern for selection.

3.4.4

Automatic Update Check

MENMON’s automatic update check looks for some special files on an external medium connected to the first USB port (USB0). However, the F50C implementation does not support program update here but can boot from the external medium.

The file that is searched for has a name stored in system parameter bf or bootfile, or – if this is empty – BOOTFILE. If this file is found, it is assumed that the external medium is supposed to be booted from.

To allow MENMON to locate this file, it must be in the root directory of a DOS FS.

This works on unpartitioned media or on drives with one partition.

MENMON does not automatically start the boot but presents the following menu to the user:

Detected an update capable external medium

>Ignore, continue boot

Boot from external medium

If there is no user input for 5 seconds after the menu appears, booting continues.

3.4.5

Updating MENMON Code

Updates of MENMON are available for download from MEN’s website .

MENMON’s integrated Flash update functions allow you to do updates yourself.

However, you need to take care and follow the instructions given here. Otherwise, you may make your board inoperable!

In any case, read the following instructions carefully!

Please be aware that you do MENMON updates at your own risk. After an incorrect update your CPU board may not be able to boot.

Do the following to update MENMON:

 Unzip the downloaded file, e.g. 14xm50-00_01_02.zip, into a temporary directory.

 Power on your F50C.

 Connect a terminal emulation program with the UART-to-USB port of your

F50C and set the terminal emulation program to 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no handshaking (if you haven't changed the target baud rate on your own).

1

 Reset the F50C through software (e.g. reboot command under VxWorks).

 Press "ESC" immediately after resetting the F50C.

 In your terminal emulation program, you should see the "MenMon>" prompt.

 Enter "SERDL MENMON" to update the secondary MENMON. You should now see a "C" character appear every 3 seconds.

 In your terminal emulation program, start a "YModem" download of file

14xm50-00_01_02.smm (for example, with Windows Hyperterm, select Trans-

fer > Send File with protocol "YModem").

 When the download is completed, reset the F50C.

1 You can change the baud rate at runtime using command cons-baud. See Table 26,

MENMON – Command reference (page 56) . If you want to accelerate file transfer you can select a higher baud rate in MENMON and then set the terminal emulation program accordingly.

3.5.2.1

Quick RAM Test

This quick test checks most of the connections to the RAM chips but does not test all RAM cells. It executes very quickly (within milliseconds).

This test is non-destructive (saves/restores original RAM content).

Checks:

• All address lines

• All data lines

• Byte enable signals

• Indirectly, checks clock and other control signals

Does not check:

• SDRAM cells

• Burst mode

3.5.2.2

Extended RAM Test

This full-featured memory test allows to test all RAM cells. Depending on the size of the SDRAM, this test can take up to one minute.

It tests 8-, 16- or 32-bit access, each with random pattern, and single and burst access.

On each pass, this test first fills the entire memory (starting with the lowest address) with the selected pattern, using the selected access mode, and then verifies the entire block.

This test is destructive.

Checks:

• All address lines

• All data lines

• All control signals

• All SDRAM cells

3.6.4

System Parameters

System parameters are parameters stored in EEPROM. Some parameters are automatically detected by MENMON (such as CPU type and frequency). The parameters can be modified through the EE-xxx command via the command line.

3.6.4.1

Physical Storage of Parameters

Most parameters are stored in the 1024-byte serial EEPROM on the F50C.

If required, you can configure MENMON to store some strings in boot Flash rather than in EEPROM.

3.6.4.2

Start-up with Faulty EEPROM

If a faulty EEPROM is detected (i.e. the checksum of the EEPROM section is wrong), the system parameters will use defaults. The behavior is the same if the

EEPROM is blank. The default baud rate is 9600.

3.6.4.3

F50C System Parameters

Note: Parameters marked by "Yes" in section "Parameter String" are part of the

MENMON parameter string.

Interrupt Handling

Interrupt handling is done via the 12 external interrupt lines of the CPU

(IRQ[11:0]). While the IRQ lines 8 to 10 are used as PCI interrupt lines (see Table

30, Interrupt numbering assigned by MENMON, on page 59

), the Ethernet function unit interrupt is routed to a dedicated interrupt line. The mapping is as follows:
