PCI-PPM PC/104-Plus Module Adapter Card WinSystems*PC/104-Plus MODULE FEATURES • Allows a PC/104-Plus module to be installed in a standard PCI slot. • Permits convenient debugging of PC/104-Plus modules • Direct Bus-to-Bus interface • Standard PCI Bus card size • No configuration jumpers or switches to set The PCI-PPM is a multipurpose development tool that allows a PC/104-Plus module to be used in a standard PCI Bus computer backplane. It is a standard PCI Bus card that supports 32-bit wide data transfers to and from a PC/104-Plus module. This adapter allows easy testing and development in a PC environment. FUNCTIONAL CAPABILITY PCI Interface Board - The PCI-PPM adapter is a standard PCI card that mounts in a PCI-compatible backplane. It wires the PCI power, control, and data signals directly to a PC/104-Plus, non-stackthrough connector. There is also a PC/104 connector at the top of PCI-PPM board. This connector serves as additional mechanical support for a PC/104-Plus module. It does not have any power, data lines, or control signals wired to it A PC/104-Plus module will plug "piggyback" into the connector(s) to join the two boards together. The boards can be fastened together with four threaded 0.60-inch spacers if a stronger mechanical bond is necessary. Sufficient clearance is provided to allow I/O cables to be connected to the PC/104-Plus module. Although the PCI-PPM plugs into a single slot, the height of a two-board stack height will require at least 2 or perhaps 3 slots of the PCI backplane. Key differences between PCI and PC/104-Plus are: • The PCI bus connector is a 4 x 30 (120-pin) 2-mm pitch stackthrough as opposed to the 124-pin edge connector or the standard 32-bit PCI Local Bus • The 120-pin PCI does not support 64-bit extensions: JTAG, PRSENT, or CLKRUN signals. PC/104-Plus is a PCI implementation on a stackable board while maintaining the 3.6" x 3.8" form factor. PC/104-Plus modules can also include the original PC/104 connectors to allow the most system configuration flexibility. Applications - The PCI-PPM Bus Adapter's main application is for software development and debugging of PC/104-Plus systems. A host PCI-based PC serves as an "In Systems Emulator" since it has direct access to the PC/104-Plus module operating at full bus speed. Therefore, the programmer has full access to a vast selection of assemblers, high-level languages, debuggers, and other productivity tools. This can reduce the expense of buying a development system by allowing a designer to uses an existing desk top PC.
