Technical Summary

This Foxconn M931 (MBX-215) SA schematic, dated January 6, 2010, details a Calpella platform motherboard supporting Arrandale and Clarksfield processors via a Micro-FCPGA-988A socket. The platform utilizes an Ibex Peak-M (PM55-B3) PCH and features discrete nVIDIA N11P/M graphics with N11P-GE1-A3 or N11M-GE1-A3 GPU chips. System BIOS is provided by a single 32Mbit SPI flash, while the EC firmware resides on a separate 1Mbit SPI ROM for the Winbond NPCE783L EC/KBC. Memory configuration includes two DDR3 SO-DIMM slots supporting up to 1333 MHz. The charging circuit is managed by a BQ24753 IC, with power delivery handled by MAX17030, TPS51218, SN0608098, SC412A, and MAX17028 DC/DC converters. Audio is driven by a Realtek ALC275-A5 codec, and wired networking is provided by a Marvell 88E8057 GbE controller. A Ricoh R5U231 card reader and an SLG8SP585 HDMI level shifter are also integrated into the design.
