 = Processor =
 
-MBX821 models include 40 MHz MPC821 processor. The MPC821 processor is especially well-suited for applications where
-lower power is essential, such as portable andor high-performance
-communications systems. The CPU on the MPC821 is a 32-bit PowerPC
-implementation incorporating memory management units (MMUs) and
-instructiondata caches. It has a real-time clock and a communications
-processor module that includes serial communication controllers, serial
-management controllers, a serial peripheral interface (SPI) channel, and an
-Interprocessor-Integrated Controller (I2C) channel for data exchanges
-between the MPC821 and other ICs with I2C capability. The MPC821’s
-memory controller supports all available types of memory. Its PCMCIA
-controller supports up to two PCMCIA devices (one socket is provided on
-the MBX). The MPC821 also incorporates an LCD controller for display
-capability.
 
 = DRAM =
 
-The MBX821-002b has 4MB of DRAM, soldered in place. The MBX series embedded controller has provision for either 4MB or
-16MB of on-board DRAM, soldered in place. In addition, it
-accommodates 8MB to 128MB of expansion DRAM in a 168-pin DIMM
-(dual in-line memory module) socket, XU3.
-The on-board DRAM is composed of two 16-bit devices (either 1M x 16
-or 4M x 16). Parity protection is optional
 
 = Flash Memory =
 
-Flash memory on the MBX821-002b embedded controller consists of 4MB. Flash memory on the MBX series embedded controller consists of 2MB,
-4MB, or 8MB of memory in one bank of four devices soldered directly to
-the board. The EPPCBug firmware resident in Flash memory is originally
-loaded at the factory, but the Flash contents can be reprogrammed if
-necessary.
 
 = IO =
 
-Serial IO - EIA-232-D serial console or terminal port (DCEDTE)
-Parallel IO - IEEE 1284 parallel port with hostperipheral mode selection
-Ethernet IO - Support for AUI and 10BaseT Ethernet interface
-PCMCIA interface - One PCMCIA slot (type I, II, or III devices)
-LCD interface (MPC821 only) - Support for both active and passive LCD panels via 24-pin header on MPC821-powered MBX boards
-Floppy disk controller - Support for direct ribbon cable connection to 2.88MB floppy disk drive via header on MBX board
-Keyboardmouse interface - Support for keyboard and mouse input via header on MBX board
 
 = NVRAM =
 
-The MBX821-001 embedded controller accommodates 32KB of non- volatile RAM (NVRAM). The MBX series embedded controller accommodates 32KB of Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM) in a 34-pin socket, XU2. A battery within the
-device supplies VCC to the NVRAM when main power is removed. The
-NVRAM provides for a low-battery indication which can be read by the
-processor. The first 4K of the NVRAM contains the vital product data (VPD) and
-should not be used. The remaining NVRAM is available for general use.
 
 = Battery =
 
-MBX series embedded controllers can use 3.0V–3.6V battery power
-(either on board, or external via utility connector #1) as a backup power
-source for the “keep-alive” power circuits (such as the real-time clock) in
-the processor.
-The lifetime of the battery is very dependent on the ambient temperature
-of the board and the power-on duty cycle. At 70° C, the worst-case elapsed
-time for battery protection is four years. Battery warning time is 24 hours
-minimum. At lower ambient temperatures the backup time is greatly
-extended.
-When a board is stored, the on-board battery should be disconnected to
-prolong battery life. This is especially important at high ambient
-temperatures.
