2 • Standard Features
The V7865 is an Intel Core Duo Processor based SBC compatible with modern
industry standard desktop systems. The V7865 therefore retains industry
standard memory and I/O maps along with a standard interrupt architecture.
The integrated peripherals described in this section (such as serial ports, USB
port, video controller and Ethernet controller) are all memory mapped the same
as similarly equipped desktop systems, ensuring compatibility with modern
operating systems.
The following sections describe the standard features of the V7865.
2.1 BGA CPU
The V7865 CPU is factory populated with a high-speed Core Duo Processor CPU.
The CPU speed and RAM/CompactFlash size are user specified as part of the
V7865 ordering information.
To change CPU speeds, RAM size or CompactFlash size, contact customer care to
receive a Return Material Authorization (RMA).

2.2 Physical Memory
The V7865 provides DDR2 Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) as onboard system
memory. Memory can be accessed as bytes, words or longwords.
The V7865 has a maximum memory configuration of 3 GByte of DDR2 SDRAM
memory. This configuration calls for a 2 GByte SODIMM (one 200-pin SODIMM
DDR2 module) and 1 GByte of onboard memory. The SDRAM is dual-ported to
the VME through the PCI-to-VME bridge and is addressable by the local
processor, as well as the VME slave interface by another VME master. Caution
must be used when sharing memory between the local processor and the VME to
prevent a VME deadlock and to prevent a VME master from overwriting the local
processor's operating system.
The V7865 includes 32 KByte of non-volatile SRAM which can be accessed by the
CPU at any time, and is used to store system data that must not be lost during
power-off conditions.

NOTE
When using the Configure utility of GE Intelligent Platforms' IOWorks Access to configure RAM, do
not request more than 25 percent of the physical RAM. Exceeding the 25 percent limit may result in
known bugs that causes unpredictable behavior during the boot sequence, and requires the use of
an emergency repair disk to restore the computer. It is recommended that an emergency repair
disk be kept up-to-date and easily accessible.
