StrongARM** SA-110/21285 Evaluation Board
Brief Datasheet
Product Features
Intel offers a StrongARM** SA-110/21285 Evaluation Board (EBSA-285) that provides a flexible hardware environment to help manufacturers incorporate the SA-110 microprocessor and 21285 core logic chip into their products quickly. This hardware expedites the development of applications that require an SDRAM memory subsystem, PCI I/O, and high integration in a low-cost design. The EBSA-285 contains processor, system controller, memory, input/output devices, and a passive backplane (EBSA-BPL). There are a number of header blocks on the card that accept two-pin jumpers. This allows the card to be configured in one of two distinct ways so that all of the major features of the 21285 can be used. The mounting bracket of the EBSA-285 holds a female nineway D-type connector, three LED indicators, and a rotary switch. The D-type connector provides an RS-232-C terminal connection to the host system. The LEDs provide status information. The rotary switch is used by onboard software to allow a particular image stored on the board to be executed automatically at power-up. Applications

SA-110/21285 Evaluation Board
The SA-110/21285 Evaluation Board is an example design that hardware designers can use to expedite product development, and software developers can use to test their applications before a complete hardware system is available. The SA-110/21285 Evaluation Board features the PCI add-in card form factor, which can be used in the following two distinct ways: · As the central processor in an SA-110-based computer The EBSA-285 acts as the central processor, main memory, and host bridge. The EBSA-285 provides standard system capabilities, including interrupt controller, DMA controller, timers, and a UART. The EBSA-285 can configure and control other devices on the PCI bus. This mode requires a PCI backplane.
· As an add-in card in an existing PCI-based machine
-- The EBSA-285 acts as a coprocessor to the host system. User-configurable jumpers on the EBSA-285 provide flexibility to select from several modes of operation supported by the SA-110 and 21285. The EBSA-285 does not support parity on its SDRAM memory subsystem.
