MICRON SINGLE BOARD COMPUTER INTRODUCTION

PRECAUTIONS

Certain precautions are necessary when designing with, handling, and using circuit boards. It is imperative

that precautions are taken at all stages to avoid Electro-static discharges, which will damage boards.

Those boards fitted with an on-board lithium battery must be handled carefully to avoid maltreatment of

the battery that could create a hazard.

ELECTRO-STATIC DISCHARGES

The devices on this card can be totally destroyed by static electricity. Also bear in mind that the damage

caused by static electricity may be partial and not immediately obvious. This could have an effect on your

product's reliability and warranty. Ensure that you take necessary static precautions, ideally you should

wear an approved wrist strap or if that is not possible, touch a suitable ground to discharge any static build

up. This should be repeated if the handling is for any length of time.

When carrying the board around, please place it into the anti-static bag in which it came. This will prevent

any static electricity build up. Do not use black anti-static bags because these tend to be conductive and

will discharge any on-board battery.

ON-BOARD BATTERY

This applies to boards fitted with a Lithium battery (most single board computer boards). If the battery is

mistreated in any way there is a very real possibility of fire, explosion, and harm. Great care should be

taken with this type of battery. Under NO circumstances should it be:

•short-circuited

•exposed to temperatures in excess of 100 ºC or burnt

•immersed in water

•unsoldered

•recharged

•disassembled

Expired batteries remain hazardous and must be disposed of in a safe manner.

BIOS & CMOS RAM

Please be aware that on single board computer products, 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).

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY

This product meets the requirements of the European EMC Directive (89/336/EEC) and is eligible to bear

the CE mark.

It has been assessed operating in a Blue Chip Technology housing. However, because the board can be

installed in a wide variety of chassis, certain conditions have to be applied to ensure that the compatibility is

maintained. Subject to those conditions, it meets the requirements for an industrial environment (ITE

Class A product).

MICRON SINGLE BOARD COMPUTER INTRODUCTION

Blue Chip Technology Limited Page 7

•The board must be installed in a computer system chassis that provides screening suitable for an

industrial environment.

•Any recommendations made by the computer system manufacturer/supplier must be complied with

regarding earthing and the installation of boards.

•Any metal back plate must be securely screwed to the chassis of the computer to ensure good metal-to-

metal (i.e. earth) contact.

•Connector bodies must be securely connected to the enclosure.

•The external cabling to boards causes most EMC problems. It is imperative that any external cabling to

the board is totally screened, and that the screen of the cable connects to the metal end bracket of the

board or the enclosure and hence to earth. It is recommended that round, screened cables with a braided

wire screen are used in preference to those with a foil screen and drain wire. Use metal connector shells

that connect around the full circumference of the cable screen: they are far superior to those that earth

the screen by a simple “pig-tail”.

•The keyboard and mouse will play an important part in the compatibility of the processor card since

they are ports into the board. Similarly, they will affect the compatibility of the complete system. Fully

compatible peripherals must be used otherwise the complete system could be degraded. They may

radiate or behave as if keys/buttons are pressed when subject to interference. Under these circumstances

it may be beneficial to add a ferrite clamp on the leads as close as possible to the connector. A suitable

type is the Chomerics type H8FE-1004-AS.

•USB cables should be high quality screened types.

•Ensure that the screens of any external cables are bonded to a good RF earth at the remote end of the

cable.

Failure to observe these recommendations may invalidate the EMC compliance.

Warning

This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio

interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

USER GUIDE

MANUAL ORGANISATION

This manual describes in detail the Blue Chip Technology MICRON Single Board processor card.

We have tried to include as much information as possible but we have not duplicated information that is

provided in the standard IBM Technical References, unless it proved to be necessary to aid in the

understanding of the MICRON.

The manual is sectioned as follows:

Overview, listing the board's features and specification;

Layout, showing where the various items are located;

Installation, and associated issues;

Using the board, including the peripherals;

Troubleshooting guide;

Connector Pin-Out details.

We strongly recommend that you study this manual carefully before attempting to interface with MICRON or

change the standard configurations. Whilst all the necessary information is available in this manual we would

recommend that unless you are confident, you contact your supplier for guidance. IT IS PARTICULARLY

IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THE SECTION 'PRECAUTIONS' BEFORE HANDLING THE

BOARD.

If you have any suggestions or find any errors concerning this manual and want to inform us of these, please

contact our Technical Services department with the relevant details.

OVERVIEW

The Blue Chip Technology MICRON Single Board PC integrates the latest advances in low power processor,

memory, and I/O technologies to provide an ideal platform for embedded applications. The MICRON

complies with the PC/104Plus standard providing ISA and PCI bus interfaces on a single card.

The board is available with CPU build options operating at 200 and 250MHz. The memory interface supports

up to 256MB of 3.3V PC100 SDRAM, in a standard 144-pin SO-DIMM socket.

The MICRON utilises Trident CyberBlade i7 and VIA VT82C686B chipset to integrate many peripherals.

These include: VGA, UDMA IDE interface, ATA solid state disk, floppy disk interface, USB support, serial

ports, parallel port, real-time clock, keyboard and mouse (PS/2) controller. Three GPIO (general purpose

input-output) pins plus one output are available, and a serial AC’97 audio interface. Due to the high level of

integration, most off-board facilities are available in multifunction connectors.

The MICRON will also drive up to two external PC/104, four PC/104Plus expansion modules and built-in

10/100 base-T LAN connection. The LAN connection requires an external isolation transformer-socket.

Facilities are provided for connection to an LCD panel if required.

An optional board, the MICRON CONNECT, is available to provide standard VGA, UTP, Keyboard, Mouse

and USB connections, enabling an easy product development route. An audio codec is included on the board.

An optional cable is also available to provide the serial ports, parallel port and standard utilities (Reset, Power

switches, HD LED, speaker and External SMI) at standard format connectors.

A full set of software drivers and utilities are available to allow advanced operating systems such as

Windows™ 9x, ME, NT, and 2000 to take full advantage of all the hardware capabilities.

CPU

The MICRON single board PC comes with Pentium-class Rise Technology iDragon mP6 Processors

running at 2.0/3.3Volts. On-board voltage regulator circuits provide the required voltages for the processor

from the incoming 5 volt power supply. This device gives a high performance/ power ratio.

The processor maintains full backward compatibility with the 8086, 80286, i386and Intel486

processors. It supports both read and write burst mode bus cycles, and includes separate on-chip code and

data caches which employ a write-back policy. Also integrated into the processor is an advanced numeric

co-processor which significantly increases the speed of floating point operations, whilst maintaining

backward compatibility with Intel486math co-processor and complying with ANSI/IEEE standard 754-

1985.
