The JXT6966 Single Board Computer
The JXT6966 single board computer is a dual-processor PICMG 1.3 SBC featuring Intel® Xeon® C5500 processors and support for PCI Express 2.0 I/O cards. This single board computer supports DDR3-1333 Mini-DIMMs and maximum system memory capacity of up to 48GB. The JXT6966 SBC features SATA/300 ports, multiple I/O and communication interfaces including PCI Express 2.0.
The SBC’s flexible I/O system design is driven by the PCIe 2.0 processor links and the Intel® 3420 Platform Controller Hub (PCH). The external I/O card interfaces adapt to PCIe 3.0, PCIe 2.0/2.1 and PCIe 1.1 plug-in cards with either a x16, x8, x4 or x1 PCI Express edge connector.
An additional PCI Express 2.0 x16 link expansion is available using the optional PEX10 module on the BXT7059 SBC. The six-channel, DDR3-1333 memory interfaces feature DDR3 Mini-DIMM technology, while the SBC’s three Gigabit Ethernet LAN interfaces, including a PICMG 1.3 backplane LAN, ease many system communication challenges.
Key features of the JXT6966 single board computer include:
- Power-saving SBC design using the Intel® 3420 Platform Controller Hub (PCH)

PCI Express Edge Card Interfaces
Standard PICMG 1.3 PCI Express Interfaces – Automatically adapts to graphics or server-class backplane PCIe link configurations – one x16 and one x4 or two x8 and one x4/ PCIe links. The direct PCIe links from the board’s processors (links A0, A1, A2 and A3) may operate as either PCIe Gen 1.1 or PCIe Gen 2.0 depending on the backplane design. The x4 link from the board’s PCH (link B0) is always a PCIe 1.1 link regardless of what is connected to this link and the option card that is used. PCIe link (B0) from the board’s PCH has a x4 default configuration and can be made to bifurcate into four, x1 PCIe links with a factory modification to the JXT6966 board. Contact us if you require this B0 link configuration change. The optional x1 link available with an IOB33 expansion module is a PCIe 1.1 link only.
Optional PCI Express Gen 2.0 Link Expansion – Installing a PEX10; PCI Express Expansion module, on the back of the JXT6966 provides four additional x4 PCIe Gen 2 links to a PCIe backplane like the BPC7009. The backplane must have an edge connector slot to accommodate the PEX10′s edge connector. The backplane may use these additional x4 links independently or as one additional x16 PCIe Gen 2 link.

Watchdog Timer
The JXT6966 provides a programmable watchdog timer with programmable timeout periods of 100 msec, 1 second, 10 seconds or 1 minute via board component U13. When enabled the WDT (U13) will generate a system reset. WDT control is supplied via the General Purpose IO pins from the Intel® 3420 Platform Controller Hub (PCH). The PCH’s GPIO_LVL2 register controls the state of each GPIO signal. This 32-bit register is located within GPIO IO spaces. The GPIO_BASE IO address is determined by the values programmed into the PCH’s LPC Bridge PCI configuration at offset 48-4B(h).
See the watchdog timer section in the specifications chapter of the JXT6966 Hardware Manual for more detailed information and a WDT programming example.
