1. INTRODUCTION

The DiskOnChip PCI-G Evaluation Board (EVB) provides a quick, easy way to evaluate the

DiskOnChip in platforms with a PCI extension slot. The PCI-G EVB is a useful tool for

designers who need to evaluate, program, duplicate or test DiskOnChip, even before their target

platform is available. Once installed, the DiskOnChip PCI-G EVB can be accessed as an

additional disk drive or as a boot device.

M-Systems’ DiskOnChip products are high-performance, single-chip flash disks that provide full

hard drive emulation for all major operating systems and platforms. This unique product line

offers a complete data storage solution for applications in which mechanical hard drives cannot

be used, such as embedded systems, Internet access devices, network computers and mobile

systems. DiskOnChip provides superior performance through a true 16-bit bus interface, and

offers security-enabling and data-protection features.

1.1. Supported Devices

The PCI-G EVB General DiskOnChip interface connector, in combination with the relevant

second-floor adapter, supports the DiskOnChip product line.

A TrueFFS driver is required to work with any of the DiskOnChip products. TrueFFS is natively

supported by every major OS, such as Windows CE, Windows 2000, QNX, and VxWorks. The

latest TrueFFS drivers can be obtained from M-Systems for these operating systems and others,

such as DOS, Linux, pSOS and NT Embedded. For other environments (including OS-less) the

TrueFFS Software Development Kit (SDK) can be obtained. When using DiskOnChip as the

boot device in a non-x86 environment, M-Systems’ Boot Software Development Kit (BDK)

package is required. Contact M-Systems regarding availability for both packages.

1.2. Features

The PCI-G EVB includes the following features:

• Support for the current DiskOnChip product line using the second-floor adapter.

• An independent memory window for each device on-board

• Support for 1.8V, 3.3V and 5V VCC core and VCC_I/O

• Variable 8-bit or 16-bit operation

• Support for the DiskOnChip hardware protection option, including the LOCK# signal

• Two fixed memory base address are available for the DiskOnChip second-floor adapter

(using a jumper)

• General DiskOnChip interface connector on both sides of the EVB for more flexibility (only

one can be used at a time)

4.2. Selecting the Voltage

To determine the voltage supplied to VCC_Core and VCC_IO, use jumpers J1 and J5 as

described in Table 3.

4.3. Locking Protected Areas

The PCI-G EVB supports the Lock feature. When the LOCK# pin on the second floor adapter is

set using a dedicated jumper, the EVB does not allow writing to write-protected areas or access

to read-protected areas, even when the correct password is entered.

4.4. Working in 16-Bit Mode

The PCI-G EVB supports 16-bit operation. When the IF_CFG pin is set on the second floor

adapter, the EVB works in full 16-bit mode, achieving approximately twice the performance

speed.

5. INSTALLING AND CONFIGURING THE PCI-G EVB

When installing the DiskOnChip PCI-G EVB as a bootable drive in operating systems other then

DOS, make sure to place the relevant systems files on DiskOnChip (i.e., execute according to

Section 5.1, then install the systems files and continue with Section 5.2).

In Windows systems, the New hardware found message is displayed each time you boot with

the PCI-G EVB plugged in. To suppress this message, select the option to install a driver, then

select the DOC_PCI.INF file located in the PCI_G_EVB directory of the DiskOnChip software

utilities. This will NOT install a driver, but will inform Windows of the new hardware and

prevent the message from being displayed during boot-up.

When working with the PCI-G EVB in environments other then PC, you must use the

DiskOnChip BDK to enable your boot code to access DiskOnChip and load your OS and drivers.

Additional information, scenarios, and advice regarding using DiskOnChip as a bootable drive

are available in the DiskOnChip Software Utilities user manual.

5.1. Installing DiskOnChip as an Additional Disk Drive

DOS Example:

1. Mount the DiskOnChip second-floor adapter(s) on the PCI-G EVB in the appropriate socket.

2. Insert the PCI-G EVB into a free PCI slot (make sure your host is powered off).

3. Power on your computer (host). You may now access the PCI-G EVB as an additional drive.

Note: TSOP and FBGA devices require formatting before the PCI-G EVB can be accessed as an

additional drive (refer to the DiskOnChip Software Utilities user manual on our website).

When using other operating systems, you may need to first install the DiskOnChip driver (see the

DiskOnChip OS-specific installation manuals).

5.2. Using the PCI-G EVB as a Boot Device (DOS)

The PCI-G EVB may be used either as an additional hard drive or as the system’s boot device

(drive [C:]). When shipped, DiskOnChip default settings cause it to be installed as the next

available drive. This will typically be drive [D:] if the system already includes another drive. To

convert it into a bootable DOS drive, perform the following:

1. Boot the system and ensure that the PCI-G EVB is correctly installed as an additional drive.

2. Copy your system files to DiskOnChip by typing FORMAT D: /S or SYS D: (assuming

DiskOnChip is registered as drive [D:]).

3. Remove your hard drive or type DFORMAT D: (or /WIN:segment) /FIRST

/S:DOCnn.EXB /UPDATE. Observe the following rules:

o The /S flag must be used when the /FIRST flag is used. DOCnn.EXB stands for the

DiskOnChip firmware file name.

9 User Manual DiskOnChip PCI-G Evaluation Board 02-UM-0704-00

o The /UPDATE flag instructs DFORMAT to update the firmware without reformatting

the flash media, keeping the information on it intact (such as the DOS systems files).

4. Reboot the system. After rebooting, DiskOnChip is identified as drive [C:].

5.3. Identifying DiskOnChip on the PCI-G EVB

There are two utilities that can identify the DiskOnChip unit mounted on the PCI-G EVB. You

can use DINFO when the drivers are correctly loaded (indicated by the sign-on messages

display). If the messages were not displayed, use DINFO>DIRECT to search for DiskOnChip.

DINFO provides information regarding DiskOnChip size, amount of physical flash used, number

of flash devices inside DiskOnChip, drive letter occupied by DiskOnChip, firmware version, and

so on.

5.4. Reformatting DiskOnChip

Warning: Running DFORMAT erases all data from DiskOnChip. Make sure to back up your

data before using this utility.

DiskOnChip can be reformatted on-board using the DFORMAT utility. The DFORMAT utility

can be used whether or not the device was recognized by the system and assigned a drive letter.

Assuming DiskOnChip is located at address 0xC800, the format command is:

DFORMAT /WIN:C800 /other flags

After running DFORMAT, you must reset the system to allow the changes to take effect.

Important: Correct initialization of your DiskOnChip must be performed before starting

development. It is highly recommended to thoroughly read the DiskOnChip Software Utilities

user manual in general, and specifically the chapter discussing DFORMAT.

6. ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE UTILITIES

6.1. DOS

You can use any of the DiskOnChip DOS utilities with the PCI-G EVB. Detailed information

can be found in the DiskOnChip Software Utilities user manual.

6.2. Using PMC Connectors

You can connect the PCI-G EVB to boards in which the PCI bus is only accessible through PMC

connectors (such as the MCP750 reference board), by using PMC-to-PCI adapter cards (vendor

supplied). Additional information and links to these products is available on our website

(www.m-systems.com, “Third Party Tools”, located in the DiskOnChip section).
