AMIBIOS8 is a modular BIOS addressing multiple configurations: the ideal solution for server blades, telecommunication servers, industrial PCs, mobile PC electronics and web access devices.

AMIBIOS8 introduces two great innovations when compared to traditional BIOS:

• Modular Architecture that accelerates the integration of new technologies, increasing Time to Market

• Graphical tools like Visual eBIOS (VeB) and AMI Debug that allow developers to work with a familiar Windows-based GUI when coding BIOS. Say goodbye to the DOS prompt!

AMIBIOS8 comes with a wealth of OEM/ODM customization tools and of utilities that can be customized to enhance end-user computing experiences, like AMIKey Recovery.

Mobile Configuration

Blade and Server Configuration

• AMIBIOS has a wealth of know-how and experience in the server field, strengthened by constant co-operation and exchange of information with major chipset manufacturers, such as Intel, AMD, Serverworks and VIA.

• In addition, AMI has accomplished major advancements in the server management field with MegaRAC-PM IPMI products and the MegaRAC-G2 management card.

Embedded Configuration

• AMIBIOS8 is perfect for embedded systems and non-traditional computers that do not require a full-featured PC-BIOS, along with those innovative designs which require to fuse server and mobile features. Designers can mix and match BIOS components utilizing server features with mobile hardware, as is the case with many server blade & embedded system designs.

• Various functions, like headless operation or IPMI, are added to AMIBIOS8 as eModules. Due to AMIBIOS8's truly modular design, BIOS eModules can be easily added or removed to a BIOS project without breaking the BIOS.

• AMIBIOS8 supports a number of chipsets widely utilized by embedded designers, such as Intel E7501 and 855GM, Transmeta 5800 and STPC ATLAS.

Desktop Configuration

• Maybe you don't know it, but when you buy your desktop you have about a 50% chance to see the familiar AMI red triangle or to run a customized version of AMIBIOS.

• AMIBIOS offers a flexible, advanced modular that easily incorporates the latest technologies to enhance your computer experience, like USB for fast download of your images and data or ACPI for power management.

• AMIBIOS8 meets Fast POST(Power on Self Test) requirements from Microsoft and the PC 2001 Specification. AMIBIOS8 power on is a matter of seconds.

The FS2240, FS2241 and FS2243 HyperTransport analysis probes enable designers to debug, test, and verify compliance of 8 and 16-bit HyperTransport links. The FS2240 and FS2243 support up to 2.4 GT/s and the FS2241 supports 400 MT/s as defined in the HyperTransport 2.0 specification. The FS2240/FS2241/FS2243 provides an electrical and mechanical interface between a HyperTransport device and an Agilent logic analyzer. The probes provide connection to the HyperTransport link through use of an 80 pin Robinson Nugent connector (FS2240), two Samtec connectors (FS2241) or using Agilent Technologies Soft Touch probing method (FS2243).

Analyzes a HyperTransport link at these data transfer rates:

• FS2240 - 2.4 GT/s

• FS2241 - 400 MT/s

• FS2243 - 2.4 GT/s

• Bus transactions displayed in HyperTransport mnemonics

• Convenient logic analyzer connection to HyperTransport link

• Supports both 8 and 16 bit full duplex operation

• Logic analyzer configuration software gets you up and running fast

HyperTransport protocol transaction software executes on Agilent 16700 and 16900 series of logic analyzers FS2240 - connects to a 2.4 GT/s HyperTransport link through a single 80-pin 3M connector, (3M #TS1150) as listed in the HyperTransport specification. These connectors attach to both an 8 bit Transmit (TX) and an 8 bit Receive (RX) link or to a single 16 bit TX or RX link. To analyze both TX and RX for 16 bit links two FS2240 analysis probes are required. Signal integrity is maintained by adding termination resistors on the target board. Design details can be found in the application note "Designing Your Own Physical Connection To A HyperTransport Link For Use With FuturePlus HyperTransport Analysis Tools". FS2241 - connects to a 400 MT/s HyperTransport link through two 40 pin Samtec connectors (Samtec ASP-65067-01). These connectors attach to both an 8 bit Transmit (TX) and an 8 bit Receive (RX) link or both connectors are required for a single 16 bit TX or RX link. To analyze both TX and RX for 16 bit links two FS2241 analysis probes are required. Design details can be found in the application note "Designing Your Own Physical Connection To A HyperTransport Link For Use With FuturePlus HyperTransport Analysis Tools". The spacing of the Samtec DP leads matches up well to the signal spacing recommended in the HyperTransport Design Guidelines. The FS2241 is recommended for use on four layer boards.

Note - because the tip resistors are mounted inside the cable assembly, rather on the board, the analysis bandwidth of the HyperTransport link is limited to 400 MT/s. The design is available in two different configurations. The F configuration is designed to be used on HyperTransport links where the first 4 CAD bits and last 4 CAD bits are routed on top of each other on different layers of the target board. This configuration is recommended to be probed from the bottom of the board. The H configuration of the probe connector is more suitable for HyperTransport links where all 8 bits are routed on the same layer of the pcb. In this situation the connectors should be on the side of the pcb with the signals. FS2243 - connects to a 2.4 GT/s HyperTransport link without the use of connectors or termination resistors. Solder pads are added to the HyperTransport link traces. This special connector-less probing solution uses Agilent's Soft Touch technology is easy to route and requires a minimum amount of board space.

The Soft Touch system attaches to both an 8 bit Transmit (TX) and an 8 bit Receive (RX) link or both connectors are required for a single 16 bit TX or RX link. To analyze both TX and RX for 16 bit links two FS2243 analysis probes are required. Design details can be found in the application note "Designing Your Own Physical Connection To A HyperTransport Link For Use With FuturePlus HyperTransport Analysis Tools".
