Available as a companion board to the CC9-
SAMBA CPU card, the CCA-LAMBADA is
provided with common legacy I/O ports.
Interconnection between the CCA I/O module
and the CPU carrier board is achieved by the
expansion connector, which incorporates e.g.
the LPC (Low Pin Count) and AC'97 (audio)
interface.
As an option, the CCA-LAMBADA is available
with a rugged on-board 2.5-inch hard disk
drive (1.8-inch as a mezzanine module).
The CCA-LAMBADA can be attached either left
or right (bottom or top) to the CPU board, and
is provided typically with a 4HP front panel.
In addition to its front panel I/O connectors, the
CCA-LAMBADA has been designed also for rear
I/O and therefore requires a non-bussed singleslot P1/P2 backplane in addition to the
CompactPCI bus. However, if front panel I/O is
solely needed, the J1/J2 connectors may be
omitted as an option.
The CCA-LAMBADA communicates to the host
CPU by means of the expansion connector,
which incorporates the LPC and AC'97
interfaces. The LPC (Low Pin Count) is a
multiplexed ISA bus, enabling the super-I/O
controller chip to emulate the legacy I/O
interfaces. Among these are parallel and serial
ports, the PS/2 interfaces, and last not least the
classic 1.4/2.8MB floppy disk controller.
The AC'97 interface is used for control of an
optional audio codec on the CCA-LAMBADA.
By connecting the boards together, the hosts
ATA/IDE secondary interface is also available on
the CCA-LAMBADA. Optionally, the board can
be equipped with either a CompactFlash
mezzanine module, or a robust 2.5-inch hard
disk drive, particularly suited for use in a rugged
environment. A mezzanine module will be also
available which carries an 1.8-inch drive, as an
alternative.
The CCA-LAMBADA can be mounted either on
the left (bottom) side of the CPU board, or right
(top) side. Specify your actual needs when
ordering the unit.
