i960
®
RM/RN I/O Processor and IQ80960RM/RN
Features
The i960 RM/RN I/O processor serves as the main component of a high performance, PCI-based
intelligent I/O subsystem. The IQ80960RM and IQ80960RN platforms allow the developer to
connect PCI devices to the i960 RM/RN I/O processors using the four secondary PCI expansion
connectors. The features of the IQ80960RM and IQ80960RN platforms are enumerated below and
shown in
and
.
•

. This
manual provides information on two software development toolsets: Wind River System’s
Tornado* for I
2
0* and Intel’s CTOOLS. If you are using other software development tools, read
through the information in this chapter and in
to gain a general understanding of how to
use your tools with this board.
