Pianeta Amiga: Details zum Sam 440 EP-Mainboard (englisch) - Update
Im Rahmen der dieses Wochenende im italienischen Empoli stattfindenden Pianeta Amiga wurde die untenstehende, offizielle Spezifikation des Mainboards "Samantha" veröffentlicht. Zudem finden Sie unter dem Titellink erste Fotos von der Veranstaltung.

Sam440EP® is a motherboard developed on the 440EP (SoC) cpu by AMCC, mini-itx format featuring a hight integration rate, low power consumption, highly expandable and maxim customization possibility during production.

The cpu operates at a 667Mhz frequency, but in "low power" environments it's possible to choose for a production also in 533Mhz and 400Mhz versions. Suitable for high performance applications, like image management and manipulation, networking and industrial machine control.

440EP offers a high performance FPU (5 stage pipeline), with single and double precision support, single-cycle execution for many instructions, assuring exceptional performances in math intensive applications (2.0 MFLOPS/Mhz SP/DP).

Integrated onchip are two ethernet 10/100 controllers, one USB 1.1 controller (host), one serial port (full 8 pin) controller for the memory and one PCI controller (66Mhz, 32 bit, V2.2).

The motherboard will be shipped with 256 or 512 Mb ram DDR266 onboard, with option to expand it trough a SODIMM 100 pin slot (max 1Gb ram).

The presence of an ATI Radeon Mobility M9 integrated graphic chip, with 64Mb ram DDR onchip, assures excellent graphic performances in his market. It permits lots of connections to monitor, tv, lcd screens through DVI, VGA, Svideo and LVDS (optional) connectors. For low-cost / low-power-consumption systems, it's possible to opt at production time for an ATI Radeon Mobility M6 with 16Mb ram DDR onchip.

There are 4 Serial ATA ports thanks to a Silicon Image 3114 controller, 4 USB 2.0 ports through a Nec controller, Audio 5.1 AC97 with line-in, line-out, mic, cd/dvd in connectors.

A Pci-to-PCI bridge permits to manage best PCI bus traffic, eliminating bottlenecks between devices operating at 66Mhz (Graphics and SATA) and those operating at 33Mhz (USB, Audio, Slot PCI)

A PCI slot (32bit, 33Mhz, 3.3V) and a mini PCI Type 3 slot (124 pin, 3.3V) permit to use PCI standard expansion boards.

The presence of a LatticeXP FPGA enhances greatly the expansion possibilities and therefore implementation possibilities, thanks also to a 96 pin connector interfacing directly to the FPGA.

As additional expansion possibility the board provides a GPIO (32 pin) connector, a SPI and a I2C connector.

An optional CCTalk connector permits the interfacing to payment systems (coins, rest and banknotes devices) using this communication protocol.

The boards can be used also in disk-less mode, using a Disk On Chip or a SmartMedia memory board.

The board's low profile (max high 20mm) and the lack of cooling fans allow to host the board in extremely small cases.

The board uses Uboot 1.1.4 as BIOS.

This new motherboard will be capable to use wide part of Operating Systems created to run for Linux-like PPC based platforms, and it will also capable to run various other alternative Operating Systems that are widely used on the scene of I.T. world.

It was a long time since the moment that technology innovation left italian peninsula. Now it was born again a new Hi-Tech challenge, and this is due to the efforts in co-operation and synergy lead by three dynamic italian firms: Alternative Holding Group Srl., Soft3 and Virtual Works, which started together a partnership in order to complete the first one of many projects, lots of these still in development and evolving.

The results of their co-operation it is a compact, versatile, and scalable motherboard based on PowerPC processor by IBM, which could be adapted to fit the needings of any niche in the market, and more, the motherboard is enhanced with innovative and decent characteristics. All the features will be revealed during a conference that will take place on Saturday 23 September 2006 starting at 11:00 during Pianeta Amiga show.
