TR-MX8 Single Board Computer
TR-MX8
Flexibility to meet the demands of current applications and the challenges of
future system designs.
The TR-MX8 represents a quantum leap in processor, network communications and
I/O functionality. It offers new Intel Pentium 4 processor options that provide faster
processing and system bus speeds, along with a larger cache memory. The Intel
875P chipset supports a 400/533/800MHz system bus, Gigabit Ethernet, PCI-X,
Serial ATA and DR266/333/400 dual channel memory.
TR-MX8 Features:

have 16K data cache; all other processors have
8K.
Up to 2GB Dual Channel DDR266/333/400 SDRAM ECC or
non-ECC.
When using only one DIMM, the interface will operate as
single channel.
Single channel interface bandwidth 2.1GB/s, 2.7GB/s,

AMIBIOS8 Flash BIOS supports:
Flash devices for BIOS upgrading via floppy interface
USB mass storage devices such as USB CD-ROM, CDRW etc
Boot from LAN, USB mass storage device, IDE or ATAPI
Serial port console redirection to support headless
operation
SATA/ATA/ATAPI support includes 48-bit LBA addressing
Intel 875P chipset featuring Intel Performance
Acceleration Technology (Intel PAT). Intel PAT
provides a faster path between the processor
cache memory and DDR system memory that
increases overall system performance while taking
full advantage of the new 800MHz FSB.

ATI M6-C16H video controller, 2D/3D video acceleration,
16MB integrated DDR video memory. Resolutions
supported up to 1600 x 1200 (UXGA).

Dual 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet, RJ-45 connectors
Intel 82547EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller uses the new
Communication Streaming Architecture (CSA) feature on
the 875P MCH and doubles the peak available bandwidth
and provides a low-latency path to memory that
increases network performance.

ISA Bus Interface
The TR-MX8’s ISA bus interface supports legacy
ISA slots, with the following limitations: ISA Bus
Mastering, 16-bit I/O and 16-bit memory accesses
are not supported. When a 16-bit access is
executed to the TR-MX8’s ISA bus, the transfer
will be divided into two 8-bit accesses. If the ISA
option card being used only operates in word, i.e.
16-bit, mode, transfer data will be missed. If the
ISA option card supports both byte, i.e. 8-bit, mode
and word mode, the data transfer will be correct,
but throughput performance will be reduced.
Watchdog Timer

Programmable with two operating modes:
Generate IRQ, SMI or SCI
System reset with range of 1ms ~ 10min.

Programmable System Hardware Monitor to monitor
voltages, fan speed, temperature.
