CompactPCI® Serial

While mechanically compliant to

CompactPCI® Classic, CompactPCI® Serial

(PICMG® CPCIS.0) defines a well established

cardslotsystem,basedonPCIExpress®,SATA,

Gigabit Ethernet andUSB serial data lines. Up

to6high-speedbackplane connectorsP1-P6

are provided on a system slot controller such

astheSC8-FLUTE,whichcanbeconsideredas

aroot hubwithrespect tomostsignal lines.A

passive backplane is used for distribution of a

defined subset of I/O channels from the

system slot to each of up to eight peripheral

slots in a CompactPCI® Serial system.

MostCompactPCI®Serialperipheralslotcards

require only the backplane connector P1,

whichcomprisesPCIe®,SATAandUSBsignals,

resulting in a concise and inexpensive

peripheral board design. More powerful

peripheral cards profit from two so called Fat

Pipe slots (PCIe® x 8).

The SC8-FLUTE is a low power CompactPCI®

Serial CPU card, optimized for small to

medium sized systems, e.g. the BLUBRICK®

box solution, or even stand-alone operation.

SC8-FLUTE • CompactPCI® Serial CPU Board • Intel® Atom™x6000RE Series SoC

Mezzanine Expansion

TheSC8-FLUTEisequipped withasetofhigh-

speed local expansion interface connectors,

which can be optionally used to attach either

a low profile mezzanine module (fits into the

4HP front panel envelope) or a side card for

an 8HP or even 12HP assembly in total.

The connectors HSE1 and HSE2 are high

speedconnectors,asrequiredforPCIExpress®

and USB3. The socket N-EXP is used as a

legacy interface (e.g. HD Audio, UART) and

not necessary for many mezzanine modules.

All mezzanine connectors allow board-to-

board heights of 10.0mm (S20, S40, S48),

10.8mm(S80,S82),and18.7mm(e.g.SCJ,SCL

side cards 8HP assembly).

HSE1 is assigned to a PCIe® Gen3 x4 capable

link, derived directly from the EHL SoC. On a

4HP low profile mezzanine module or 8HP

side card this link is wired to a fast NVMe SSD

housed in an M.2 socket, typically used as

boot device and general mass storage. In

addition,HSE1bringsalsoanUSB3port,often

used for additional mezzanine front I/O.

HSE2providesanotherfourPCIe®Gen3lanes,

configured as x1 links, via a fan-out PCIe®

switch.

SomemezzaninemodulessuchastheS20get

along with the HSE1 connector alone, others

suchasS40,S48 or S80dependonbothHSE1

and HSE2 for full functionality.
