PC/104 Architecture
The PC/104 architecture affords a great deal of flexibility in system design. You can build a simple system
using only a CoreModule Single Board Computer (SBC), with input/output devices connected to its serial or
parallel ports and a Compact Flash card in the Compact Flash socket. To expand a simple CoreModule
system, simply add self-stacking ADLINK MiniModules or 3rd party PC/104 expansion boards to provide
additional capabilities, such as:
•Additional I/O ports
•Analog or digital I/O interfaces
PC/104 expansion modules can be stacked with the CoreModule 430 avoiding the need for card cages and
backplanes. The PC/104 expansion modules can be mounted directly to the PC/104 bus connector of the
CoreModule 430. PC/104-compliant modules can be stacked with an inter-board spacing of ~0.66" (16.7
mm) so that a 3-module system fits in a 3.6" x 3.8" x 2.4" space. See Figure 2-1.
One or more MiniModule products or other PC/104 modules can be installed on the CoreModule expansion
connectors. When installed on the PC/104 headers, the expansion modules fit within the CoreModule outline
dimensions. Most MiniModule products have stack through connectors compatible with the PC/104 Version
2.5 specification. Several modules can be stacked on the CoreModule headers. Each additional module
increases the thickness of the package by 0.60" (15 mm). See Figure 2-1.

Chapter 2Product Overview
Product Description
The CoreModule 430 SBC is an exceptionally high integration, x86-based PC compatible system in the
PC/104 form factor. This rugged and high quality single board system contains all the component
subsystems of a PC/AT motherboard plus the equivalent of several PC/AT expansion boards.
In addition, the CoreModule 430 SBC includes a comprehensive set of system extensions and enhancements
that are specifically designed for embedded systems. These enhancements ensure fail-safe embedded system
operation, such as a watchdog timer. The CoreModule 430 is designed to meet the size, power consumption,
temperature range, quality, and reliability demands of embedded applications. The CoreModule 430 requires
a single +5V power source.
The CoreModule 430 SBC is particularly well suited to either embedded or portable applications. Its
flexibility makes system design quick and easy. It can be stacked with ADLINK MiniModules or other
PC/104-compliant expansion boards, or it can be used as the computing engine in a fully customized
application.

Serial Interface
The Vortex CPU contains the circuitry for all four serial ports. The CoreModule 430 provides serial ports 1
and 2 through transceivers U7 and U9 (headers J3 and J9), serial port 3 through transceiver U4 (header J14)
and serial port 4 through transceiver U5 (header J13). The serial ports support the following features:
•Programmable word length, stop bits and parity
•16-bit programmable baud rate generator
•Interrupt generator
•Loop-back mode
•16-bit FIFOs for each port
•Ports 1, 2, 3, and 4 are supported by the Vortex processor and are 16C550/16C552 compatible
Serial 1 (J3, COM1) supports RS-232/RS-485 with full modem operation
Serial 2 (J9, COM2) supports RS-232/RS-485 with full modem operation
Serial 3 (J14, COM3) supports RS-232 with full modem operation
Serial 4 (J13, COM4) supports RS-232 with full modem operation
NOTEThe RS-232/RS-485 mode for Serial Port 1 (COM1) and Serial Port 2 (COM2)
are selected in BIOS Setup Utility. However, the RS-232 mode is the default
(Standard) for any serial port.
RS-485 mode termination is selected with jumper JP2 Serial 1 (COM1) and JP1
Serial 2 (COM2) on the module. Refer to Table 2-3 for more information.
To implement the two-wire RS-485 mode on either serial port, you must tie the equivalent pins together for
the selected port.
For example, you must tie pin 3 (Rx Data –) to 5 (Tx Data –) and pin 4 (Tx Data +) to 6 (Rx Data +) at Serial
Port 1 or 2 (J3 or J9) for the two-wire interface. As an alternate, you may short the equivalent pins on the
DB9 connector attached to respective serial port, as shown in Figure 3-1. Refer also to the following tables
for the specific pins on the connectors. The RS-422 mode uses a four-wire interface and does not require
combining pins for its operation, but you must select RS-485 in BIOS Setup.
Figure 3-1. RS-485 Serial Port Implementation
Table 3-6 provides the signals for the corresponding pins of the two independent serial interfaces (Serial 1 &
2), and Table 3-7 provides the signals for the corresponding pins of two independent serial interfaces (Serial
3 & 4). Both interfaces use 10-pin, right-angle headers with 2 rows, odd/even sequence (1, 2), and 0.100"
(2.54mm) pitch.

User GPIO Interface
The CoreModule 430 provides GPIO pins for customer use, and the signals are routed to header J8. An
example of how to use the GPIO pins resides in the Miscellaneous Source Code Examples on the
CoreModule 430 Support Software QuickDrive.
The example program can be built by using the make.bat file. This produces a 16-bit DOS executable
application, gpio.exe, which can be run on the CoreModule 430 to demonstrate the use of GPIO pins. For
more information about the GPIO pin operation, refer to the Programming Manual for the Vortex processor

Oops! Jumper (BIOS Recovery)
The Oops! jumper is provided in the event you have selected BIOS settings that prevent you from booting
the system. By using the Oops! jumper you can stop the current BIOS settings in the CMOS from being
loaded, allowing you to proceed, using the default settings. Connect the DTR pin to the RI pin on Serial port
1 (COM 1) prior to boot up to prevent the present BIOS settings from loading. After booting with the Oops!
jumper in place, remove the Oops! jumper and go into the BIOS Setup Utility. Change the desired BIOS
settings, or select the default settings, and save changes before rebooting the system.
To convert a standard DB9 connector to an Oops! jumper, short together the DTR (4) and RI (9) pins on the
rear of the connector as shown in Figure 3-2 on the Serial Port 1 DB9 connector.

Remote Access
The CoreModule 430 BIOS supports the remote access (or console redirection) feature. This I/O function is
provided by an ANSI-compatible serial terminal, or the equivalent terminal emulation software running on
another system. This can be very useful when setting up the BIOS on a production line for systems that are
not connected to a keyboard and display.
Remote Access Setup
The remote access feature is implemented by connecting a standard null-modem cable or a modified serial
cable (or “Hot Cable”) between one of the serial ports, such as Serial 1 or 2 (J3 or J9), and the serial terminal
or a PC with communications software. The BIOS Setup Utility controls the remote access settings on the
CoreModule 430. Refer to Chapter 4, BIOS Setup for the settings of the remote access option, the serial
terminal, or PC with communications software and the connection procedure.
Hot (Serial) Cable
To convert a standard serial cable to a Hot Cable, specific pins must be shorted together at the Serial port
header or at the DB9 connector. Short together the RTS (4) and RI (8) pins on either serial port (J3 or J9)
header. As an alternate, you can short the equivalent pins (pins 7 and 9) on the back of the respective DB9
port connector as shown in Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3. Hot Cable Jumper
Watchdog Timer
The Watchdog Timer (WDT) restarts the system if an error or mishap occurs, allowing the system to recover
from the mishap, even though the error condition may still exist. Possible problems include failure to boot
properly, loss of control by the application software, failure of an interface device, unexpected conditions on
the bus, or other hardware or software malfunctions.
The WDT (Watchdog Timer) can be used both during the boot process and during normal system operation.
•During the Boot process – If the OS fails to boot in the time interval set in the BIOS, the system will
reset.
Enable the Watchdog Timer (sec) field in the Chipset > Southbridge
for a time-out interval in seconds, between 1 and 255, in one second increments. Ensure you allow
enough time for the operating system (OS) to boot. The OS or application must tickle (reset) the WDT
before the timer expires. This can be done by accessing the hardware directly or through a BIOS call.
•During System Operation – An application can set up the WDT hardware through a BIOS call, or by
accessing the hardware directly. Some ADLINK Board Support Packages provide an API to the WDT.
The application must tickle (reset) the WDT before the timer expires or the system will be reset.
•Watchdog Code examples – ADLINK has provided source code examples on the CoreModule 430
Support Software QuickDrive illustrating how to control the WDT. The code examples can be easily
copied to your development environment to compile and test the examples, or make any desired
changes before compiling. Refer to the WDT Readme file in the Sample Code directory on the
CoreModule 430 Support Software QuickDrive.

Power Interface
The CoreModule 430 requires one +5 volt DC power source. If the +5VDC power drops below ~4.65V, a
low voltage reset is triggered, resetting the system.
The power input header (J7) supplies the following voltages and ground directly to the module:
•5.0VDC +/- 5% @ 1.35 Amps
