About the Modules
CHAPTER 1
The ConnectCore 9C and ConnectCore Wi-9C modules are powerful ARM9-based
modules in a compact and universal SO-DIMM (Small Outline Dual Inline Memory
Module) form factor. The modules provide core processing functionality with
integrated wired and wireless network connectivity and a complete set of
peripheral options in a footprint-compatible interchangeable SO-DIMM form factor
that allows you to optimize your system for either Ethernet, WLAN, or both.
The ConnectCore 9C provides 10/100 Ethernet connectivity only.
The ConnectCore Wi-9C provides both 10/100 Ethernet and 802.11b/g wireless
networking capabilities.
All modules are fully compliant with EU directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS).

What’s on the Module?
CHAPTER 2
This chapter describes the ConnectCore 9C/Wi-9C modules. See Appendix A, ""
for the mechanical specifications and electrical characteristics of the modules.
The module design you use depends on whether you want to use the ConnectCore
Wi-9C wireless capabilities. The basic footprint for the ConnectCore 9C and
ConnectCore Wi-9C is the same; an extension of the footprint provides the active
components and antenna connectors for wireless functionality.

options). The U.FL connectors are located in the same positions as the RP-SMA
connectors, but do not extend past the edge of the module.
The Ethernet connector is an 8-wire RJ-45 jack with integrated magnetics that
meets the ISO 8877 requirements for 10/100BASE-T. The connector provides both
Ethernet interface pins (in the upper portion) and two integrated LEDs (in the lower
portion).
Ethernet port
Ethernet
connector pins
There are eight Ethernet connector pins in the upper portion of the connector. Pin 1
is in the upper left corner of the connector, above the yellow LED. Pins 4, 5, 7, and
8 are used with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) only (see “802.3af Power over Ethernet
(PoE) pass-through connector, P5” on page 13).
The PoE pass-through connector, P5, mates with the P20 header on the development
board. This PoE pass-through feature passes P oE power connections from the
Ethernet signal cable to the user’s equipment through P5. The P oE feature provides
a power source for compliant “powered” equipment, and is nominally 48VDC with a
possible 30–57VDC 13 W maximum range.

PoE supportIf you are planning to add PoE support to your product, see the most recent revision
of the IEEE 802.3af specification available at http://www.ieee802.org/3/af/. The
document provides detailed information about the standard and its proper
implementation.
The JTAG connector is a standard, male, ARM 20-pin pinout in a miniature
connector, with a 50-mil pitch. A JTAG adapter, which ships with each Jump Start
kit, expands the JTAG connector to a 100 mil pitch. Use the included JT AG adapter
to connect the debugger.
The JTAG connector on the module is keyed, as are the two connectors on the JTAG
adapter, which means there is only one way to attach ribbon cables to the module
and JTAG adapter. For details, see “JTAG adapter assembly” on page 16.

Use the JT AG adapter assembly, shipped with the ConnectCore 9C/Wi-9C Jump Start
Kit, to attach your debugger to the module. The JTAG adapter assembly consists of
the Digi JTAG Link USB debugger with a ribbon cable attached and the JTAG adapter
with a ribbon cable attached. The Jump Start Kit also includes a USB cable.
The two connectors on the JTAG adapter are keyed, as is the JTAG connector
header (P2) on the module. Keyed connectors eliminate cable attachment errors by
ensuring that there is only one way to mate the connectors.
JTAG adapterThe JTAG adapter has two 20-pin connectors, P1 and P2.
P1 is a keyed male connector into which you attach the debugger’s ribbon
cable.
P2 is a keyed male connector into which you attach the ribbon cable that plugs
into the module.
J1 is a jumper that determines the mode in which the module operates: debug
or boundary scan. Depending on the JTAG adaptor you are using, J1 has either
two pins or three pins.
This drawing shows the JTAG adapter with a 2pin J1 header.
For debug mode — Do not plug a jumper onto J1.
For boundary scan mode — Plug a jumper onto
J1.

For boundary scan mode (the default) — Plug a

Ethernet connector, separated from the Ethernet connector by CR1 and CR2.

See “USB interface” on page 68 for information about the USB interface.
The edge connector is a 144-pin SO-DIMM connector located on the short edge of
the module. P3 mates with P15 (also a 144-position SO-DIMM connector) on the
development board or an SO-DIMM connector on your design.

Note:

order. For additional SO-DIMM pin characteristics, see "Module / SO-DIMM signal
characteristics," beginning on page 70.
The clearance underneath the module and development board should be
2.54mm (0.10”).
Some signals are multiplexed to two different GPIO pins, to maxim ize the
number of possible applications. The primary/duplicate signals are noted in
