ETX Computer-on-Module Concept
Embedded system designers face increasing pressures to bring products to market quickly. Many products
that once incorporated a custom CPU design can no longer afford the time to develop and debug a custom
CPU let alone port operating system software to it. Furthermore, CPU subsystem design usually plays a
small part in providing any uniqueness to an embedded product. The remainder of the embedded product
design adds key circuits that provide a unique product and differentiate it from other products serving the
same market. The challenge is to speed these designs to market by eliminating the need for a custom CPU
design while providing the flexibility to include all critical elements, which make the embedded product
unique.
The Embedded Technology eXtended (ETX) module provides an off-the-shelf CPU subsystem that can be
included in virtually any embedded system. An ETX module works like a high-integration chip, plugging
into your custom circuit board design to provide specific control for your logic application. See Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1. ETX-PVR Module and Custom Baseboard Assembly
ETX provides a simple, standard interface that is independent of CPU type. The ETX interface includes the
industry-standard PCI bus, ISA bus (some models), I/O signals from the peripheral components on the ETX
module, power, and ground. Visit the ADLINK web site (www.adlinktech.com
availability and support information.
The standard ETX interface lets you try different processors in your actual product environment with the
ability to defer a processor choice until late in the project if you so choose. The interface also lets you easily
offer different versions of your product with different capabilities by either selecting different ETX modules
with the same baseboard, or by designing different baseboards for the same CPU. This simple ability to
upgrade by either selecting a more powerful CPU (without baseboard redesign) or enhancing the baseboard
without touching the CPU subsystem or the bulk of the applications software.
The ETX flexibility enables designers to take an accelerated, low risk path by using proven ETX module
designs. Your design flow might look similar to the one shown in Figure 2-2. This diagram gives a Typical
Design Flow of hardware and software functions.

Product Description
The ETX-PVR is an exceptionally high integration, high performance, rugged, and high quality Computeron-Module (COM), which contains all the component subsystems of an ATX motherboard plus the
equivalent of up to 2 expansion boards. Based on the Intel® Atom™ N455 and D525 processors, the
ETX-PVR provides designers a complete, high performance embedded processor that conforms to the ETX
V3.02 specification.
The Intel Atom N400 and D400/D500 series CPUs integrate processor cores with Graphics and Memory
Hubs (GMHs), providing low-power, high-performance processors, memory controllers for up to 2GB of
DDR3 memory, and graphics controllers which provide LVDS and VGA signals for most LCD video panels
and CRT monitors.
The ICH8-M chipset provides controllers for the I/O Hub (Southbridge) featuring four USB ports, one Ultra
DMA 33/66/100 IDE port supporting two IDE devices, one HD Audio link, two SATA ports, one Ethernet
interface, one PCI interface, one SMBus interface, one LPC bus, and one speaker port. The ETX-PVR
provides legacy interfaces through the SMSC SCH3112I-NU Super I/O featuring two serial ports, one
parallel/floppy port, and one PS/2 keyboard and mouse port.
Among the many embedded-PC enhancements on the ETX-PVR that ensure embedded system operation
and application versatility are a Watchdog Timer, remote access support, battery-free boot, and OEM logo
customization (Splash Screen).
The ETX-PVR is particularly well suited to either embedded or portable applications and meets the size,
power consumption, temperature range, quality, and reliability demands of embedded system applications.
The ETX-PVR requires a single +5V power supply.
