Introduction

Equipped with the MPC8540 PowerQUICC™ III PowerPC®, the 3U single-board computer F13 is a versatile 3U Eurocard CompactPCI® board that operates at up to 800 MHz. The F13 is designed especially for systems which require multiple and fast communication channels and is thus well placed as a rugged computing platform for high-end industrial communication applications like robot control. It offers the whole world of Linux based software and real-time operating system support for VxWorks® and QNX®.

The F13 is equipped with an on-board 133 MHz fast DDR RAM on an SO-DIMM socket for data and with NAND Flash for program storage. The SBC provides front panel access for two Gigabit Ethernet, one fast Ethernet and one COM via four RJ45 connectors. A second serial interface can be accessed using an SA-Adapter™ on the F13. (E)IDE and GPIO are also on board. The FPGA on the F13 allows to realize additional userdefined functions such as graphics, touch, further serial interfaces, CAN bus controllers, binary I/O etc. for the needs of the individual application in a very flexible way. Before boot-up of the system, the FPGA is loaded from the boot Flash. Updates of the FPGA contents can be made inside the boot Flash during operation. The FPGA functions can be physically implemented by using SA-Adapters™. A maximum of 6 SAAdapters ™ can be used on the F13 and the I/O can be made accessible at the front panel.

Equipped with a PCI-bridge chip, the F13 offers a full CompactPCI® interface (system slot functionality) for reliable system expansion. The F13 comes with MENMON™ support. This firmware/BIOS can be used for bootstrapping operating systems (from disk, Flash or network), for hardware testing, or for debugging applications without running any operating system.
