Chapter 1 <Introduction>

1.1 <Product Overview>

LS-579 is 5.25’’ Desktop Miniboard which supports 6th &

7th Generation Intel® Core™ i7/
i5/ i3, S-series and Xeon® Processor with Intel® C236 Chipset, integrated HD Graphics ,
DDR4 memory, Realtek High Definition Audio, Intel Gigabit LAN, Serial ATA3

Intel Skylake-S & Kabylake-S Processor with Intel® C236 Chipset

The 6th & 7th Intel® Core™ S-series and Xeon® processor family is new generation an d
multi-core processor built on 14 nanometer process.

It provide new HD Graphics support triple displays at the same time, maximum supported is
up to 32GB of DDR4, better performance, flexibility and more enhanced security that is

suitable for a variety of intelligent systems the ideal choice.

Flexible Expansion Interface

It includes 2 x MiniPCIe slot, SIM, 2 x M.2 (Key M), M.2 (KeyE)

Skylake & Kabylake remove EHCI, all USB ports are xHCI

When you install Windows7 with USB device(CDROM, Keyboard, Mouse...), Windows7 can
not identify your usb device. You can use SATA CD-ROM and PS/2 to install Windows7.

*PS/2 cable is optioal.

Kaby Lake(7th gen CPU) only support Windows10 64bit

Intel only support Windows 10 64bit. It may lose some drivers if you use other Windo ws

Appendix A <Flash BIOS>

A.1 <Flash tool>

The board is based on Phoenix BIOS and can be updated easily by the BIOS
auto flash tool. You can download the tool online at the address below:

FPT TOOL

The tool’s file name is “fpt.exe”, it’ s the utility that can write the data into the
BIOS flash chip and update the BIOS.

A.2 <Flash BIOS process>

1. Please make a bootable UFD which can boot into DOS environment.

2. Unzip the flash tool and copy it into bootable UFD.

3. Add a bin file to the same folder..

4. Power on the system and flash the BIOS under the DOS environment.
(Command: fpt –savemac –f xxx.bin)

5. Power off the system and then power on.

Appendix B <LCD Panel Type select>

According your panel, it need to select the correct resolution in the BIOS. If there is
no fit your panel type, please feedback for us to make OEM model.

You can find the setting from
