Wanted - PC borad or example schematics

autodeskguest

 

Hi

 

Can anyone helP?

 

I'm looking for a CPU board with some rom(or flash or whatever) some ram and

USB I/O  but little or nothing else. (IE No video chips etc)

IE Minimal bare metal.

 

CPU to be as powerful as possible - If theres an X86-64 board that would be ideal.

I could use 32 or 64 bit CPU. Power is my key factor. (I dont want a

multiprocessor board or "network")

 

I'm happy to buy an existing board to meet my needs or could build one if

a suitable circuit example exists.

 

The only eagle design I can find is an atmel which is clearly no good to me.

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

 

Thanks

  • You could take a look at Olimex cards - they are open source with full cad files available.

    The A33-OLinuXino-4GB is a quad core ARM Cortex A7.

    Everybody ...

     

    Thank you all for the input.

    I appreciate the desire to help but

     

    I'm not looking for a for a microcontroler. quite the reverse really.

    I'm looking for a powerful CPU with no extraneous peripherals

    except  FPU and maybe some form of memory management would be

    ok.Nothing much. on a card I just need I/O and a bit of booting memory

    and some fast I/O - as fast as possible and a USB port prefereable v3.1.

    If nothing on the board  all processor pins socketed

    for access. (This would be the ideal scenario - just a fast processor board)

    Nothing clocked below 1Ghz is likely to be any use.

    I'm not sure about the itaniums - I'll look into that thanks.

    Things that need a PC are no use to me.

    Arm processors are not up to the job.

    ps. I've been asked to say please ignore he the johntech.co.uk site I dont have

    email there I'm just using their newsgroup gateway. Someone tried to mail

    me there apparently.

    Sounds like a rare animal.

    If you want a high end Intel chip, the next step after a CPU socket is to add a support chipset, but this is already a full blown PC with all sorts of peripheral I/O.

    Check out the quad Core i7 Kontron AM4024.

    There are a few military CPU modules, but they are targeted at specific systems to achieve a workable infrastructure.

    Hello Colin,

     

    Unless you can explain in more detail what you want to do it isn't really possible to offer any good advice.

     

    If you want to run a big OS then an Intel i7 (or possibly the upcoming AMD parts) is fastest - but designing a board for these devices is a huge task - far better just to but one.

     

    If you want to do DSP like stuff then, amazingly, a DSP might suit you nicely.

     

    If you want really fast response and low latency an FPGA is the way to go.

     

    And so on.
