The JXTS6966 Single Board Computer

The JXTS6966 single board computer is a single-processor PICMG 1.3 SBC featuring an Intel® Xeon® C5500 processor and support for PCI Express 2.0 I/O cards.  This single board computer supports DDR3-1333 Mini-DIMMs for a maximum system memory capacity of 24GB and 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 PCI Express 2.0 processor links and the Intel® 3420 Platform Controller Hub (PCH).  The external I/O card interfaces adapt to PCIe 3.0, PCIe 2.1/2.0 and PCIe 1.1 plug-in cards with either a x16, x8, x4 or x1 PCI Express edge connector.

The three-channel, DDR3-1333 memory interfaces into CPU0 use 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 JXTS6966 single board computer include:

  • Power-saving SBC design using the Intel® 3420 Platform Controller Hub (PCH)
  • Three-channel, DDR3-1333 memory interfaces feature DDR3 Mini-DIMM technology
  • Flexible PCIe Gen 2 / PCIe Gen 1.1 interfaces support x16, x8, x4 and x1 PCI Express cards
  • Three Gigabit Ethernet LAN interfaces including a PICMG 1.3 backplane LAN
  • Enhanced SBC stability and component protection provided by full-length stiffener bars
  • Processor options support Intel® Virtualization Technology
The JXTS6966 single board computer maximizes ROI with long-life, embedded components which drive an extended SBC product availability of seven years or more.  As with each of our single board computers, the JXTS6966 is designed with a standard system BIOS version that is maintained under strict revision control.

BIOS flexibility is built in by offering various BIOS modifications that may be needed to meet unique system requirements and also maintains strict revision control for custom BIOS variations. The JXTS6966 single board computer is designed, manufactured and supported in the U.S. and includes our exclusive five-year factory warranty.

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 processor (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 JXTS6966 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.

Watchdog Timer

The JXTS6966 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 JXTS6966 Hardware Manual for more detailed information and a WDT programming example.
