F19P single board computer

The single board computer F19P is claimed to be the first Intel CPU board based on the CompactPCI PlusIO standard. The additional serial functions on the J2 rear I/O connector make this SBC flexible and versatile.

MEN’s F19P is the first of a new generation of 3U single board computers. It is the first CompactPCI PlusIO SBC with Intel architecture.

Based on the known CompactPCI (PICMG 2.0), CompactPCI PlusIO (PICMG 2.30) delivers the migration path to the serial CompactPCI Plus standard (PICMG CPLUS.0) and can be used both in traditional CompactPCI systems and in hybrid systems with CompactPCI Plus.

Equipped with a Core 2 Duo SP9300 down to the Celeron M722 and with a power dissipation between 5.5 and 25 W, the 32-bit/33 MHz SBC was developed for embedded applications with high requirements regarding performance, reliability and low power dissipation.

The SBC offers a multitude of I/O. According to the PICMG 2.30 standard four USB 2.0, four fast SATA/SAS, four PCI Express x1 links as well as one gigabit ethernet are available via the J2 rear I/O connector.

In addition, it supports seven PC Express x1 links, three for onboard ethernet and four x1 or one x4 links via rear I/O or a special side card.

It is backwards compatible to the SBC family F14 to F18: graphics via VGA, two gigabit ethernet and two USB 2.0 are available on the board front. Additional functions like digital video inputs via DVI, a multitude of UARTs, USBs, SATA or HD audio can be used by connecting special extension cards.

Being equipped with the fast DDR3 DRAM which is soldered against shock and vibration, with a CompactFlash and a MicroSD card, the SBC offers nearly unlimited space for application data.

Different watchdogs for monitoring the processor and board temperature complete the functionality of the F19P that is supplied with board support packages for Windows, Linux and VxWorks.
