About This Manual
Conventions
Notices
This manual may use the following types of notice:
WARNING
Warnings alert you to the risk of severe personal injury.
CAUTION
Cautions alert you to system danger or loss of data.
NOTE
Notes call attention to important features or instructions.
TIP
Tips give guidance on procedures that may be tackled in a number of ways.
LINK
Links take you to other documents or websites.
Numbers
All numbers are expressed in decimal, except addresses and memory or register
data, which are expressed in hexadecimal. Where confusion may occur, decimal
numbers have a “D” subscript and binary numbers have a “b” subscript. The
prefix “0x” shows a hexadecimal number, following the ‘C’ programming
language convention. Thus:
One dozen = 12D= 0x0C = 1100b
The multipliers “k”, “M” and “G” have their conventional scientific and
engineering meanings of x103, x106and x109respectively. The only exception to
this is in the description of the size of memory areas, when “k”, “M” and “G”
mean x210, x220 and x230 respectively.
NOTE
When describing transfer rates, “k”, “M” and “G” mean x103, x106and x109not x210, x220 and x230.
In PowerPC terminology, multiple bit fields are numbered from 0 to n where 0 is
the MSB and n is the LSB. PCI terminology follows the more familiar convention
that bit 0 is the LSB and n is the MSB.
Text
Signal names ending with a tilde (“~”) denote active low signals; all other signals
are active high. “N” and “P” denote the low and high components of a differential
signal respectively.

Additional Notes
Abaco Systems’ V7768/V7769* are single board computers (SBCs) in a dual-slot,
passively-cooled, VME Eurocard form factor.
The V7768* is a full featured Intel®CoreTM 2 Duo or Celeron®M-based SBC,
and the V7769* is a full featured Intel Core 2 Duo-based SBC. The V7768/V7769
utilize the advanced technology of Intel’s 945GM chipset and the ICH7-M I/O
Controller Hub. The 945GM chipset runs on a 533 MHz front-side bus with the
Celeron M processor and a667 MHz front-side bus with the Core 2Duo
processor.
The V7768/V7769 are compliant with the VMEbus Specification VITA1-1994 and
feature a transparent PCI-to-VME bridge, allowing your board to function as a
system controller or peripheral CPU in multi-CPU systems.
The V7768 is a single-slot board, and the V7769 is a dual-slot board. The V7769
has the same functionality as the V7768 and also connects to the ACC-0623*
(which will be referred to as the mezzanine board throughout this manual),
making it a dual-slot board. Because the functionality is so similar, this manual
will refer to both boards (V7768/V7769) throughout unless the material is
referring to the V7768 or V7769 only.

Intel 945GM Chipset
The V7768/V7769 incorporate the latest Intel chipset technology, the 945GM. The
Intel 945GM chipset is an optimized integrated graphics solution with up to a 
667 MHz system bus. The chipset has a low power design, advanced power
management, supporting up to 2 GByte of DDR2 system memory. The 945GM is a
Memory Controller Hub (MCH) component, providing the processor interface,
system memory interface (DDR2 SDRAM) and SVGA port.
Key features for the 945GM:
• 533 MHz Processor system bus controller for the Celeron M
• 667 MHz Processor system bus controller for the Intel Core 2 Duo
• Up to 2 GByte DDR2 Memory via SODIMM
• High-speed DMI architecture interface for communication with the ICH7-M
(I/O controller)
The 945GM supports the Intel ICH7-M I/O controller hub. The ICH7-M supports
most of the high speed I/O interfaces of the V7768/V7769.
Key features for the ICH7-M:
• USB 2.0
• SATA
• IDE (Primary only)
• PCI
• PCI
Express (PCIe)
