1.5 Functional Description

Processor Support

The NuPRO-A40H is PICMG 1.0 Single Board Computer support­ing the 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ processor family (Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3, Pentium®) in LGA1155 socket. An integrated memory controller supports dual channel 1333/1600 MHz DDR3 and Intel® HD Graphics is integrated onboard the CPU. Direct Media Interface (DMI) and Flexible Display Interface (FDI) provide connectivity to the Intel® H61 Express Chipset.

Intel® H61 Express Chipset

The Intel® BD82H61 Platform Controller Hub (PCH) combines with the processor to provide a compact yet powerful 2-chip solu­tion. Direct Media Interface (DMI) is the chip-to-chip connection between the processor and PCH. Intel® Flexible Display Interface carries display traffic from the integrated graphics in the processor to the legacy display connectors in the PCH. The PCH supports all other required interfaces including PCI Express, SATA 3 Gb/s, USB 2.0, LPC, and SPI.

Dual-Channel DDR3 Memory

To meet the requirements of memory-intensive applications, the NuPRO-A40H has a dual-channel memory architecture supporting DDR3 1333/1600 MHz DIMMs. The key advantages of DDR3 are the higher bandwidth and the increase in performance at lower power than DDR2. DDR3 memory technology meets the require­ments of the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and network applica­tion, and boosts system performance by eliminating bottlenecks.

Gigabit Ethernet

The NuPRO-A40H utilizes dual Intel® I211-AT Gigabit Ethernet Controllers connected to the PCI-E bus of the H61 PCH. Wake-on-LAN, PXE, and 9KB Jumbo Frames are supported.
6Introduction
NuPRO-A40H

Serial ATA

The NuPRO-A40H provides four Serial ATA ports with data trans­fer rates of up to 3.0 GB/s.

Universal Serial Bus (USB 2.0)

The NuPRO-A40H provides 8 USB 2.0 ports supporting transfer rates up to 480 Mb/s (2x faceplate, 6x onboard pin headers).

Hardware Monitoring - SEMA

Hardware monitoring is provided by ADLINK’s Smart Embedded Management Agent (SEMA), which provides functionality through a Board Management Controller and communicates with the CPU/chipset through the SMBus. The following information is pro­vided under System Management:
X System Information
X Runtime Statistics
X Temperatures
X Power Consumption
X SMC Flags
A graphical user interface program called SEMAGui and com­mand line tool called SEMA Tool are available to allow you to communicate with SEMA. Please refer to the SEMA Software and Technical Manuals, available for download on the product page.

Watchdog Timer

The watchdog timer (WDT) monitors system operations based on user-defined configurations. The WDT can be programmed for dif­ferent time-out periods, such as from 1 to 255 seconds or from 1 to 255 minutes. The WDT generates a reset signal, then a reset request, after failure to strobe it within the programmed time period. A register bit may be enabled to indicate if the watchdog timer caused the reset event. The WDT register is cleared during the power-on sequence to enable the operating system to take appropriate action when the watchdog generates a reboot.

Appendix A - Watchdog Timer

To use the Watchdog Timer on the NuPRO-A40H, first download the WDT driver from the product page on the ADLINK website:
www.adlinktech.com/PD/web/PD_detail.php?cKind=&pid=1256
Install the driver by extracting the appropriate version for your Windows operating system (32 or 64-bit), and copying it to the fol-
lowing location: C:\Windows\System32\drivers.
A sample program for configuring the NuPRO-A40H’s watchdog timer is shown below.

A.1 Sample Code

#include <stdlib.h> #include <float.h> #include "Sema.h" #include "SemaLog.h" #include "ErrorCodes.h" #include "Debug.h" #include "Conv.h" #include "dmi_info.h" #include "Version.h" #ifdef WIN32
#include <windows.h>
#else
#include <string.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <ctype.h>
#endif
.
typedef struct {
bool SetWatchdog;// Set/Reset/Disable watchdog? word Watchdog;// Num of seconds for wdt to trigger
}tCmdLineArgs;
tCmdLineArgs CmdLineArgs; char* ExeName;
Watchdog Timer 71
void ErrorMessage(char *Message) {
Sema_EventLogError(Message);
exit(-1);
}
void ParseArgs(int argc, char* argv[], tCmdLineArgs

{
int i;
for (i=1; i<argc; i++) {
if (strncmp(argv[i], "wdt", 3)==0) {
if (++i >= argc) {
ErrorMessage("Watchdog: Timeout missing");
}
Args->Watchdog = atoi(argv[i]); Args->SetWatchdog = true;
}
}
}
void PrintData(tCmdLineArgs Args) {
if (Args.SetWatchdog) {
Sema_SetWatchdog(Args.Watchdog); printf("Watchdog set to %d seconds.\n", Args.Watchdog);
}
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
memset(&CmdLineArgs, 0, sizeof(tCmdLineArgs)); ParseArgs(argc, argv, &CmdLineArgs); Sema_Init();
