1Introduction
1.1Description
The Express-LPC is a low power, low cost, COM Express Type 2, COM.0 R2.0 module in
Compact form factor that is specially designed to facilitate speedy development of semi
custom designs.
The COM Express standard embodies the convergence of the latest technology standards
based on serial differential signaling such as PCI Express, USB 2.0, SATA and LVDS
implemented on a compact size Computer on Module. Signals are brought out through two
220-pin board-to-board connectors that permit data transmission rates of up to 5GHz.
Mounting holes connect the module with a custom-made, application specific carrier boards
which provide protection from shock and vibration.
The Express-LPC is a COM Express COM.0 R2.0 Type 2 compatible module in
Compact form factor (95 mm x 95 mm). The module supports a 45nm process
Intel® Atom™ processor N455 and D425 with 512 KB L2 cache, and D525 with
1MB L2 cache. The Intel® Atom™ processor integrates a graphics processing
unit (GPU) that provides CRT and single channel LVDS. The Intel® Atom™ processor N455/
D425/D525 also supports Hyper-Threading Technology with 2-threads per core allowing the
Express-LPC to provide excellent performance for multi-tasking applications.
The Express-LPC is positioned as an entry level COM Express module for systems that
require a small footprint with dual core computing power and DDR3 memory. It is ideal for
applications that require Floating Point CPU performance with average graphics support and
moderate power consumption levels, such as Robotics, Industrial control and Data
Communications.
The Intel® I/O Controller Hub 8-M (ICH8-M) allows connection of up to five additional PCI
Express x1 ports, four of which can be grouped to a PCIe x4, while supporting the LAN
controller on the 5th port. The module comes with a single onboard Gigabit Ethernet port and
three SATA ports. It has legacy support for a single parallel IDE channel, 32-bit PCI and LPC.
The Express-LPC comes equipped with AMIBIOS®8 supporting embedded features such as:
Remote Console, CMOS backup in 16Mbit SPI BIOS, CPU and System Monitoring and a Dual
Watchdog Timer for NMI or RESET.
The Express-LPC is a RoHS compliant and leadfree product.

All power testing was done on power supply wiring leading to the Express carrier
board. Although all voltages were measured, only 12 V and 5 VSB are relevant
because they are the only ones used by the Express module. The Idle power level was
measured under Windows XP with no applications running (logon screen). CPU Stress
was measured using Kpower, and Total System Stress was measured under burn-in
conditions.

6Embedded Functions
All embedded board functions on ADLINK’s Computer on Modules are supported at the
operating system level using the ADLINK Intelligent Device Interface (AIDI) library. The AIDI API
programming interface is compatible and identical across all ADLINK Computer on Modules and
all supported operating systems. The AIDI library includes a demo program to demonstrate the
library’s functionallity.
6.1Watchdog Timer
The Express-LPC implements a Watchdog timer that can be used to
automatically detect software execution problems or system hangs and
reset the board if necessary. The Watchdog timer consists of a counter
that counts down from an initial value to zero. When the system is
operating normally, the software that sets the intial value periodically
resets the counter so that the it never reaches zero. If the counter
reaches zero before the software resets it, the system is presumed to be
malfunctioning and a reset signal is asserted.
The AIDI Library Watchdog functions support Watchdog control of the board. If the Watchdog
begins countdown and reaches zero, it will access the CPU's RESET signal to reset the system.
This application must call another function named AidiWDogTrigger that triggers the Watchdog to
restart to prevent system reset.
AIDI Demo Program
- Watchdog Tab
The AIDI Demo Program allows
retrieval of the current Watchdog
status and updating of the
Watchdog settings
If the Watchdog is enabled, the
user can click the WDT Trigger
button to manually reset the
counter and prevent the system
from resetting
GPIO library support is limited to GPIO signals that originate from the Computer on Module
and extended to the carrier board. COM Express modules support 4 GPO and 4 GPI signals.
Some of ADLINK’s COM Express boards can configure all 8 ports for GPI or GPO use.
GPIO signals can be monitored and controlled by using the ADLINK Intelligent Device
Interface (AIDI) library that is compatible and identical across all ADLINK COM Express
modules and all supported operating systems.
The COM Express type II standard assigns the following pins for either GPI or GPO

For boards that support multi-direction the “SetDirection” button
can configure the port for either
GPI or GPO
