1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The CM1-86DX2 is a PC/104 Single Board Computer (SBC) based on DMP’s Vortex86-DX2
single chip solution, featuring exceptionally high integration and a very good perfor-
mance-to-power ratio. The board supports all peripherals needed for an embedded PC on a
small 3.775" by 4.050" printed circuit board.
The Vortex86-DX2 chip integrates a powerful yet efficient CPU with graphics controller, audio
controller, and Gigabit Ethernet controller to form a complete PC, with all the standard periph-
eral connections onboard.
The board provides two Ethernet ports (1x Gigabit and 1x 100Megabit), four
RS232/RS422/RS485 serial ports, one USB 2.0 host controller, one USB 1.1 host controller to
handle the communication with external devices, and PS/2 connectors for keyboard and
mouse. A first generation SATA interface allows the connection of hard disk or CD drives. Appli-
cations that require non-moving storage can use the MicroSD-Card slot or the bootable flash.
System expansion is possible easily over the PC/104, Mini-PCI-Express and I²C bus connec-
tors.
The CM1-86DX2 is powered by a 5V-only supply and runs DOS, Windows XP/7 and Linux
operating systems. The Vortex86-DX2 SoC has a simulated ACPI to support Windows 7
(though S3 or S4 modes are not supported.)
