1. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The TEK-CPCI-1000 CompactPCI board represents the most advanced computer
architecture in the Single Board Computer world. The TEK-CPCI-1000 is based on
INTEL Pentium and AMD K6 processors, and is 100% electrically compatible with
INTEL’s PCI bus specifications.
The board is a 6U mechanical form factor (Eurocard format). It complies with the
CompactPCI design specification and takes advantages of the existent enclosures, card-
cages, and fixtures widely used in applications such as: communications, military, or
medical.
CompactPCI is a practical extension to the common PCI local bus. It is dedicated to a
robust industrial grade computer architecture and provides up to 132MB/sec of transfer
rate.
The TEK-CPCI-1000 board is fully compatible with existing application software and
operating systems available for desktop PCI: PC and MS-DOS, Windows3.1,
Windows95, WindowsNT, OS/2Warp, QNX, NOVELL, UnixWare.

 CompactPCI Connectors
According to the PICMG 2.0 R2.1 CompactPCIspecification, CompactPCI connectors
are located at the rear of the board. They are defined as a 2mm pitch, shielded connectors
with a 5x47 array of pin for signals and 2 rows of 47 pins for shielding.
If required, a coding key may be installed to ensure a correct mating when connecting the
board to a CompactPCI backplane.
CompactPCI

connector is also known as 2mm Hard Metric connector.
 Supported Processors
The TEK-CPCI-1000 supports: INTEL Pentium100, 120, 133, 150, 166 and
200MHz INTEL VRT Pentium100, 120, 133, and 150MHz
INTEL MMXPentium166, 200, and 233Mhz
AMD K6 166, 200, and 233MHz

 Environment
The TEK-CPCI-1000 SBC is provided for rack-mounted systems which offer the highest
modularity for applications. The TEK-CPCI-1000 supports four CompactPCI connectors:
PCI P1, P2 - System connectors: output the 32-bit PCI signals and provides
arbitration, clock distribution, and reset functions for the peripheral slots of the
PCI segment. This segment will support up to seven CompactPCI sub-systems
(four bus master devices – with Ethernet disabled - and three slaves) such as:
Audio, Video, acquisition boards...
ISA P4, P5 - I/O connectors: provide both ISA and IDE signals to support
connections of hard drives, floppy disk drives, mouse and keyboard through the
backplane. USB communication signals are also provided through this I/O
segment. The signal assignation on these connectors is defined by TEKNOR.
When connecting the board to a backplane, ensure the backplane is capable of
supporting these signals and of making them available on separate local headers.
Such a backplane is provided by TEKNOR and is referred as TEK1101
CompactPCI Backplane.
A complete CompactPCI system (TEK-CPCI-1201) is also available from
TEKNOR.
 Memory
System memory: the TEK-CPCI-1000 supports from 8MB to 512MB vertical
DRAM on four 72-pin SIMM sockets (FPM or EDO). Parity and
ECC are supported.
Internal cache: 8KB CPU-internal L1 cache with Pentium processors.
16KB with MMX processors.
32KB with K6 processors.
External cache: 256 or 512KB (L2) pipelined burst cache is implemented to
enhance the processor operations by eliminating wait states on
cache accesses.

2. ONBOARD SUBSYSTEMS
The TEK-CPCI-1000 system board is built around a single chip host-to-PCI bridge (430HX
from INTEL) which makes the PCI bus accessible through 2mm Hard Metric connectors
for up to 7 loads: 4 masters, including the onboard Ethernet, and 3 slaves.
The 430HX interfaces with the onboard processor host bus and a dedicated memory data
bus, and provides second level cache (L2) and DRAM control functions.
The DRAM controller supports up to 512MB of main memory. Both Fast Page Mode
(FPM) and Extended Data Output (EDO) memory technology are supported. The PCI-to-
DRAM interface transfer rate can go up to 112MB/sec for read and 121MB/sec for write.
The 430HX allows the processor to sustain the highest possible bandwidth to the graphics
frame buffer at all frequencies. To conform with “modular” oriented environment, the
board does not provide video function. Video will be supported using a CompactPCI
video module connected directly on the PCI bus (Order TEK-1002 from TEKNOR).
Ethernet subsystem is directly connected to the PCI bus. As PCI target, this configuration
allows all accesses to the internal registers to be automatically mapped into free memory
and I/O space upon initialization of the system. The Ethernet controller chip operates as a
master and a slave on the PCI bus. As a master, it interacts with the system memory to
access data for transmission or deposit received data. As a slave, some internal control
structures are accessed by the CPU for read and write operations.
The Ethernet chip provides 3Kbyte FIFO for receive and 3Kbyte FIFO for transmit which
prevent data overruns or underruns while waiting for access to the PCI bus. While the chip
provides independent Receive and Command units, the TEK-CPCI-1000 can process
communication commands and receive incoming frame simultaneously without real-time
CPU intervention.
The TEK-CPCI-1000 also provides a PCI-to-ISA bridge (PIIX3) along with other features
such as fast IDE interface, and USB.

2.2 ONBOARD CONNECTORS
Two connectors are used to drive various signals to the front plate:
Parallel Port (J3) - A flat cable is required to output the parallel signals from the
onboard connector to a standard 25-pin DSUB connector mounted on the front plate.
The Parallel Port is compliant with Standard, EPP and ECP modes.
Multi-function connector (J2) - Speaker, keyboard inhibit, download, reset, and
hard disk activity functions are available through the J2 connector.
Features are described as follows:
Speaker An 8ohm speaker can be directly connected. The power
stage is integrated onboard.
Keyboard inhibit Keyboard inhibit function is used to enable or disable the
keyboard.
Download Download function is used to transfer information from a
remote computer to the Flash disk through a serial link.
Reset A normally open push button can be used to reset the board.
Reset interface is open drain, thus external logic is not
required.
Hard disk activity LED can be used to indicate read and write operations on
the hard disk.
System Memory - The TEK-CPCI-1000 provides four 72-pin vertical SIMM sockets
to support from 8MB to 512MB of DRAM system memory. The memory is divided
into two banks referred as Bank 0 and Bank 1.
Each bank can be populated separately, but must be populated with the same memory
capacity.
