Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1  Introduction
The PCM-9575 is a VIA low-power Eden/Ezra processor single board 
computer (SBC) with audio controller, a 4X AGP SVGA controller, a PCI 
10/100Base-T Ethernet interface, one PCI slot, and one PC/104-Plus 
expansion connector. The PCM-9575’s design is based on the EBX form 
factor that provides support for PC/104 and PC/104-Plus module expan-
sion. The EBX form factor also provides a convenient connector layout 
for easy assembly, more efficient cable connections and better overall 
embedded system integration. When using an Intel® Pentium® III pro-
cessor, the PCM-9575 achieves outstanding performance that surpasses 
most SBCs in its class. This compact (only 5.75“ x 8”) unit offers all the 
functions of a single board industrial computer, but still fits in the space 
of a 5.25“ floppy drive.
On-board features include, four serial ports (three RS-232, one RS-232/
422/485), one multi-mode parallel (ECP/EPP/SPP) port, two USB (Uni-
versal Serial Bus) ports, a floppy drive controller, and a keyboard/PS/2 
mouse interface. The built-in high-speed PCI IDE controller supports 
both PIO and UDMA/100 bus master modes.  Up to four IDE devices can 
be connected, including large hard disks, CD-ROM drives, and tape 
backup drives.
The PCM-9575 features power management to minimize power con-
sumption. It complies with the “Green Function” standard and supports 
Doze, Standby and Suspend modes.  In addition, the board‘s watchdog 
timer can automatically reset the system or generate an interrupt if the 
system stops due to a program bug or EMI.
Highly integrated multimedia SBC
The PCM-9575 is a highly integrated multimedia SBC that combines 
audio, video, and network functions on a single computer board the size 
of a 5.25" floppy drive. It provides 16-bit half-duplex,  8-bit full-duplex, 
integrated 3D audio, and up to 1024 x 768 resolution @ 16.8 M colors 
with 8/16/32MB system memory.  Major on-board devices adopt PCI 
technology, to achieve outstanding computing performance when used 
with Intel® Pentium® processors. The PCM-9575 also supports TV-out 
that supports NTSC/PAL format for multimedia applications.
