Little Board P6d Module

The CompactFlash disk is a solid-state or rotating media disk system that emulates an IDE drive. It uses standard CompactFlash disk media, similar to a PCMCIA memory card, but smaller. Insert the CompactFlash disk media in the on-board CompactFlash socket, and use it in much the same way you would use a removable-media hard drive. The CompactFlash drive is architecturally equivalent to an IDE drive in your system. When installed, it becomes one of the two IDE drives supported by the primary EIDE disk controller. It can be configured as either an IDE master or slave drive.

Serial Ports

The Little Board P6d module provides four RS232C serial ports, implemented using 16C550-type UARTs. These UARTs are equipped with 16-byte FIFO buffers to improve throughput.

Serial ports 1 & 2 have full modem support. There are RS232 level shifters on all signals. The RX and TX data signals can also be configured as RS485/RS422. The TTL versions of the TX and RX signals for port 1, 3, and 4 are also brought out to the utility connector. Port 2 TTL TX and RX are brought out to the Utility connector via the IrDA interface.

Parallel Port

An enhanced bidirectional parallel port interface conforms to the IEEE-1284 standard. It provides features attractive to embedded system designers, including increased speed, an internal FIFO buffer, and DMA transfer capability.

Floppy Interface

An on-board floppy disk interface provides access to standard floppy drives. The interface supports two floppy drives, 5-1/4 inch or 3-1/2 inch. All standard floppy drive types, from 360K at 5-1/4 inch to 1.44M at 3-1/2 inch are supported.

PCI-Bus EIDE Interfaces

On-board PCI EIDE/Ultra DMA/33 interfaces provide high-speed hard disk, IDE CD-ROM drive, and other IDE device access. The interfaces support up to four IDE devices (via primary and secondary drive interfaces). The interfaces are fully compliant with the AS/NSIS ATA Rev. 3.0 specification and the ATAPI Specification.

The CompactFlash interface is implemented as an IDE drive. If it is installed, it takes the position of one of the drives of the primary IDE interface (settable as a master or slave drive).

PCI Audio Interface

The SoundBlaster™ compatible audio interface is implemented using a combination of the Trident 4DWAVE-NX PCI DirectSound Accelerator, the National LM4549 AD97 CODEC and a National LM4863 Audio Amplifier.
