Specifications
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 USB 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 435 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 435. 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 2 Product Overview
Product Description
The CoreModule 435 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 435 SBC includes a comprehensive set of system extensions and enhancements that are specifically designed for embedded systems. These enhancements—such as Watchdog Timer and Oops! Jumper—ensure fail-safe embedded system operation. The CoreModule 435 is designed to meet the size, power consumption, temperature range, quality, and reliability demands of embedded applications. The CoreModule 435 requires a single +5V power source.
The CoreModule 435 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 435 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
NOTE The RS-232/RS-485 modes 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 together the equivalent pins for the selected port.
CoreModule 435 Reference Manual 23
Chapter 3 Hardware
For example, you must tie pin 3 (Rx Data –) to pin 5 (Tx Data –) and pin 4 (Tx Data +) to pin 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.

Miscellaneous
Real Time Clock (RTC)
The CoreModule 435 contains a Real Time (time of day) Clock (RTC), which can be backed up with an external Lithium Battery. The CoreModule 435 will function without a battery in those environments which prohibit batteries. The CoreModule 435 will also continue to operate after the battery life has been exceeded. Under these conditions all setup information is restored from the on-board flash memory during POST along with the default date and time information.
NOTE Some operating systems require a valid default date and time to function.
User GPIO Interface
The CoreModule 435 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 435 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 435 to demonstrate the use of GPIO pins. For more information about the GPIO pin operation, refer to the Programming Manual for the Vortex processor at:
http://www.vortex86sx.com/?page_id=3.pdf
Table 3-16 describes the pin signals of the GPIO interface, which uses a 10-pin header with 2 rows, odd/
even sequence (1, 2), and 0.079" (2mm) pitch.

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.

Serial Console
The CoreModule 435 BIOS supports the serial console (or console redirection) feature. These I/O functions are 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.
Serial Console BIOS Setup
The serial console (console redirection) feature is implemented by connecting a standard null-modem cable or a modified serial cable (or “Hot Cable”) from either serial port COM1 or COM2 (J3 or J9) to the serial terminal or a PC with communications software. The BIOS Setup Utility controls the serial console settings on the CoreModule 435. Refer to the BIOS Setup for the serial console option settings using a serial terminal or PC with communications software.
Hot (Serial) Cable
To convert a standard serial cable to a Hot Cable, certain 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 the COM1 or COM2 (J3 or J9) header. As an alternate, you can short the equivalent pins (pins 7 and 9) on the back of the respective DB9 connector as shown in Figure 3-3.

Chapter 3 Hardware
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 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 Function (0 or 1) setting in the Chipset for a time-out interval in seconds, between 1 and 256, 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 435
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 435 Support Software QuickDrive.
screen of the BIOS Setup. Set the WDT
Power Interface
The CoreModule 435 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
Table 3-17 describes the pin signals of the Power interface, which uses a 10-pin, right-angle header with 2
rows, odd/even sequence (1, 2), and 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch.
