For option upgrades or for any type of repairs, contact customer care to receive a Return Material Authorization (RMA). GE Customer Care is available at: 1‐800‐433‐2682, 1‐780‐401‐7700. Or, visit our website at: www.ge-ip.com The SBC622 is tested for system operation and shipped with factory‐installed jumpers, headers and connectors. The physical locations of the jumpers, headers and connectors for the SBC with the PMC option are illustrated in Figure 1‐1 Top Assembly Jumpers, Headers, Connectors Locations on page 23. The definitions of the jumpers, headers and connectors are included in Table 1‐1 Jumpers, Headers, Connectors on page 24. All jumpers marked User Configured in the following tables may be changed or modified by the user. All jumpers marked Factory Configured should not be modified by the user.
1.5 Jumper Descriptions The board has push‐on jumpers included in the standard kit of parts; additional jumpers may be obtained on request. These are suitable for Level 1 to 3 low vibration applications. See Figure 1‐1 Top Assembly Jumpers, Headers, Connectors Locations on page 23 for Jumper locations. For Level 4 and 5 products, connect jumpers by wire-wrapping between the pin posts and then cover these wire wrapped connections with the same conformal coating as that used on the board. This provides a reliable connection under heavy shock and vibration conditions and prevents oxidation of the connection due to moisture ingress.
1.6.2 Board Installation Notes • Keying may dictate the backplane slot(s) into which the board can be inserted. • Air‐cooled versions have an injector/ejector handle to ensure that the back‐ plane connectors mate properly with the backplane. The captive screws at the top and bottom of the front panel allow the board to be tightly secured in position, which provides continuity with the chassis ground of the system. • Conduction‐cooled versions have screw‐driven wedge locks at the top and bottom of the board to provide the necessary mechanical/thermal interface. Correct adjustment requires a calibrated torque wrench with a hexagonal head of size 3/32ʺ (2.38 mm), set to between 0.6 and 0.8 Nm. • In an air‐cooled development enclosure, when taking I/O connections from the backplane connectors, use of GE’s I/O modules (or some equivalent sys‐ tem) ensures optimum operation with regard to EMI. 1.6.3 Power Requirements The SBC622 utilizes the VS1 and VS3 power supplies from the VPX backplane. The SBC622 requires up to 16 W from VS1 (@12V), and 38 W from VS3 (@5 V) . The SBC622 does not connect to the VS2 power pins. Live insertion as defined in VITA 1.4 is not supported on SBC622. • The VS1 and VS3 rails are used for SBC622 circuits and at the PMC site. The VCC_12V_AUX and VCC_‐12V_AUX rails are only used at the PMC sites. Aggregate power load is expected to be 60 W maximum for the main SBC622 board, plus a maximum of 7.5 W for each of the PMC sites. Additional current loading may be supported at the PMC site to the limit of the backplane and PMC site connector capacities. 1. Power measurements made while running BurnInTest Pro CPU Stress Testing at 100% Utilization.
1.6.4 Connecting to SBC622 To interact with onboard firmware requires the SBC622 to have, at a minimum, a control terminal or HyperTerminal connection present on the serial COM1 port and a VGA monitor connected to the RGB outputs. An Ethernet connection may also be required for Host/Target interaction. For development systems, connection to the Serial, Ethernet I/O and Graphics ports can be achieved using a rear backplane module. This converts the condensed pinout of the backplane connectors to pinouts suitable for use by industry standard connectors. The following items are required: • The SBC622 • A rear transition module (VPX6UX604*), and an Open VPX‐compliant backplane • A null‐modem 9‐way D to 9‐way D‐type cable for connecting COM1 to a control terminal or HyperTerminal • For the Ethernet port, a CAT5 (or better) straight‐through patch cable for 10/100/1000Base‐TX • A VGA monitor and suitable cables • USB Keyboard Similar antistatic and safety precautions apply when handling and/or installing I/O modules as for the board. 1.6.5 Power-up As the SBC622 runs through its boot sequence, the LEDs illuminate.

3 • CPLD Control and Status Registers GE’s SBC622 features additional capabilities beyond those of a typical desktop computer system. The units provide two software‐controlled, general‐purpose timers along with a programmable Watchdog Timer for synchronizing and controlling multiple events in embedded applications. The SBC622 provides a bootable NAND Flash system and 512 KBits of non‐volatile SEEPROM. 3.1 CPLD Description The SBC622 CPLD provides a general purpose I/O port, Watchdog Timer, and general purpose timers. The block diagram for the CPLD is shown in the figure below. Figure 3-1 Block Diagram for CPLD 32-bit Timer 32-bit Timer IO addr: 0x600+ LFRAME# LAD[3..0] PCI CLK Board ID Interface RESET# BMM Ctrl. Reg.
3.2 Control and Status Registers These registers are provided by the CPLD and appear in the I/O memory map (for reading and writing) starting at address 0x600. They can also be read back in memory space under ID7 + address 0x04000000.

The control and status registers exist for controlling or reading the status of the hardware. The addresses are as seen by the processor. In the following register descriptions, the bit significance is shown in little‐endian mode (i.e. from the viewpoint of the processor). MSB = D7, LSB = D0 3.2.1 Board ID Register (0x600) This reads back 0x56, the number assigned to the SBC622. 3.2.2 Board Revision Register (0x601) This provides information on the build state of the SBC622.

Table 3-10 Control Register 3 (0x622) Bits Meaning BIT Pass (Green LED) 1 = LED lit 0 = LED off (default) BIT Fail (Red LED) 1 = LED lit (default) 0 = LED off BIT Status 1 (Yellow LED) 1 = LED lit 0 = LED off (default)
3.2.20 Timer Enable Register (0x60C) The timers are enabled via the Timer Enable Register located at offset 0x0C from base I/O address 0x600. The mapping of the bits in this register are as follows: Table 3-11 TCSR1 Bit Mapping Field Bits Read or Write Description Timer 1 Enable TE[0] 0=disable, 1=enable Timer 2 Enable TE[1] 0=disable, 1=enable Timer 3 Enable TE[2] 0=disable, 1=enable Timer 4 Enable TE[3] 0=disable, 1=enable Read Latch Select TE[4]...
The ʺIRQ Enableʺ bit must be set to a ʺ1ʺ for the timer to be able to generate an interrupt. Each timer has an independently selectable clock source which is selected by the bit pattern in the ʺTimer x Clock Selectʺ field as follows: Table 3-14 Timer x Clock Select Clock Rate Bit 2 Bit 1 2 MHz 1 MHz 500 KHz 250 KHz The ʺRead Timerʺ bit selects between reading the current timer value or reading the timer load value when the timer data is read. Setting this bit to ʺ0ʺ will enable the reading of the current timer value. Setting this bit to a ʺ1ʺ will enable the reading of the value that was loaded into the timer. When the timer generates an interrupt, the ʺInterruptʺ bit is read as a ʺ1ʺ and is cleared with a write to the appropriate ʺTimer x IRQ Clearʺ register. Alternately, writing a ʺ0ʺ to TCSR[7] will also clear the interrupt. When this bit is read as a ʺ0ʺ, the timer has not created an interrupt. When a ʺ1ʺ is written into this bit, a single interrupt will be generated when the timerʹs ʺIRQ Enableʺ bit is enabled. 3.2.22 Timer 1 Value Register (0x634) Timer 1 is not implemented on SBC622. 3.2.23 Timer 2 Value Register (0x636) Timer 2 is not implemented on SBC622.
3.2.28 Timer 3 IRQ Clear (T3IC, 0x632) The Timer 3 IRQ Clear (T3IC) register is used to clear an interrupt caused by Timer 3. Writing to this register, located at offset 0x32 from base I/O address 0x600, causes the interrupt from Timer 3 to be cleared. This can also be done by writing a ʺ0ʹ to TCSR3[7]. The T3IC register is write only and the data written is irrelevant. 3.2.29 Timer 4 IRQ Clear (T4IC, 0x633) The Timer 4 IRQ Clear (T4IC) register is used to clear an interrupt caused by Timer 4. Writing to this register, located at offset 0x33 from base I/O address 0x600, causes the interrupt from Timer 4 to be cleared. This can also be done by writing a ʺ0ʺ to TCSR4[7]. The T4IC register is write only and the data written is irrelevant. 3.2.30 CPLD GPIO LPC Interface Access Port and General Configuration Registers The SBC622 provides eight lines of General Purpose I/O through the P4/P6 connector. The lines are able to tolerate 5V input voltages and the signals are isolated whenever the SBC622 is powered down. Figure 3-2 CPLD GPIO Interface Access Max 5 V Onboard Logic...
All GPIO inputs are double sampled at 33 MHz before being used by any internal logic of the CPLD. For valid operation, input states must be valid for longer than 33 nS; pulses shorter than this may be missed due to the sampling of the inputs at 33 MHz. If rise and fall times of the GPIO are slow (>10 μS), then edge mode should not be used as any noise on the edges can cause false triggering. On really slow edges, software may need to filter the inputs. 3.2.31 GPIO Out Register (0x640) This holds the GPIO out data. Table 3-15 GPIO Out Register (0x640) GPIO Pin GPIO7 GPIO6 GPIO5 GPIO4 GPIO3 GPIO2 GPIO1 GPIO0 NOTE This register is only cleared on a power cycle. 3.2.32 GPIO In Register (0x641) This reflects the current state of the GPIO pins regardless of whether they are ...
