Chapter 1

System Overview

This manual describes in detail the Portwell PEB-1431V PC/104 Embedded System

Board. This manual aims to provide all necessary information to users who may

interest in using all PEB-1431V’s functions.

Please be aware that it is possible to create configurations within the CMOS RAM

that make booting impossible. If this should happen, clear the CMOS settings, (see

the description of the Jumper Settings for details).

We strongly recommend that you study this manual carefully before attempting to

alter PEB-1431V’s configurations. In the case, something in this manual is not clear

or users have any suggestion on this manual. Contact our Customer Service

department with the relevant details. Portwell Technical Service Group’s web site

is http://www.portwell.com/.

1.1 Introduction

The PEB-1431V is a compact PC/104 CPU Module that equips with STPC Atlas low-

power processor and integrated VGA.

This model is incredibly compact with flexible extension. There is a PC/104

interface, which is cable to add extra devices. For an embedded system, Watch Dog

Timer is also one standard feature. It helps to free the system from undesired

hanging without human interface. This is unique for many Embedded System

applications.

Other features include a built-in TFT LCD interface, a compact Flash socket for type

II Compact Flash storage card, two serial ports, one parallel port, and on board

16MB of SDRAM.

1.4 System Architecture

1.4.1 TPC Atlas

The STPC Atlas system on chip provide the basic functionality and buses of the

system:

 Interface to SDRAM, 64-bit data bus. PCI interface provided by STPC Atlas.

 VGA controller with video memory shared with system memory (UMA).

 IDE interface support Ultra DMA. Tow connectors are provided: A 44 pin pitch

2.0mm standard IDE interface on the primary controller and a Compact Flash

connector on the secondary controller.

1.4.2 STPC Atlas Integrated Graphics

The STPC Atlas integrated Graphics is very cost efficient since almost no additional

components are required. This is achieved by using the SDRAM as frame-buffer and

by integrating the graphics engine. It provides both CRT and Panel display

interfaces.

1.4.3 PC/104 Interface

The STPC Atlas system on chip provides an ISA Bus that may operate in master or

slave mode. The bus master has the ability to generate bus cycles and thereby

transfer data without involvement of the CPU or DMA (Direct memory access). A

104-pin PC/104 connector is equipped onboard for future expansion.

1.4.4 SDRAM Interface

This on board 16 MB SDRAM are recommended to use.

1.4.5 IDE Interface

A primary as well as a secondary IDE controller is provided by the STPC Atlas

which supports Ultra DMA mode and PCI bus mastering for the data transfer.

Access to these controllers is provided by a standard IDE 44-pin connector and a

Compact Flash type II connector on the solder side of this board.

System Overview

PEB-1431V User’s Manual 1-6

1.4.6 STPC Atlas and Winbond W83977F-A

The STPC Atlas integrated Super I/O chip provides most input / output interfaces

of the system as the following:

 COM 1. A RS-232 driver is used whereby RS-232 are provided. Driver uses charge

pumps whereby only +5V is required

 COM 2. A RS-422/485 driver is used whereby RS-422/485 are provided.

Selection of the mode is made by hardware jumper

 LPT. Support for SPP, EPP and ECP modes

 Floppy interface

 Keyboard interface

 PS/2 Mouse interface

 Provision of buffered ISA data bus for BIOS

 NVRAM with battery backup for BIOS configuration and real time clock

1.4.7 Compact Flash Interface

A Compact Flash type II connector is connected to the secondary IDE controller. The

Compact Flash storage card is IDE compatible. It is an ideal replacement for

standard IDE hard drives. The solid-state design offers no seek errors even under

extreme shock and vibration conditions. The Compact Flash storage card is

extremely small and highly suitable for rugged environments, thus providing an

excellent solution for mobile applications with space limitations. It is fully

compatible with all consumer applications designed for data storage PC card, PDA,

and Smart Cellular Phones, allowing simple use for the end user. The Compact Flash

storage card is O/S independent, thus offering an optimal solution for embedded

systems operating in non-standard computing environments. The Compact Flash

storage card is IDE compatible and offers various capacities.

System Installation

This chapter provides you with instructions on how to set up your computer system

using PEB-1431V Embedded System Board. The additional information shows you

how to install graphic in Operating System.

3.1 Graphic Driver installation for STPC Atlas integrated GRAPHICS

The STPC Atlas integrated Graphics is very cost efficient since almost no additional

components are required. This is achieved by using the SDRAM as frame-buffer and

by integrating the graphics engine and display interface. This controller provides

both CRT and Panel display interfaces.

Driver Support

PEB-1431V provides one CD-Title to support on-board VGA device drivers in

various operating systems. Before installing the device driver, please see the

reference files in each sub-directory. If you have problems to install drivers directly

from CDROM, please copy the files into your hard drive before you proceed with

the driver installation.

 VGA: This driver supports Windows-4.0, Windows-9X, Linux and QNX.

3.2 IDE Interface

A primary IDE controller is provided by the STPC Atlas system on chip, which

supports Ultra DMA mode and PCI bus mastering for the data transfer.

Access to these controllers is provided by a standard IDC 44-pin connector and a

Compact Flash type II connector on the solder side of this board.

3.3 SDRAM Interface

This board 16MB SDRAM are recommended to use.
