3.3 Application Environment of Fully-enclosed Computer
Dissipation methods of fully-enclosed computer: thermal conduction and thermal
radiation methods are deployed to dissipate heat generated by internal components to
the chassis, which in turn passes the heat to the external space by thermal radiation
and convection. The inside of the chassis, the chassis and the space where the
computer is located exchange heat with each other continuously and sufficiently. The
requirements for the working area or space where the PC is located are as follows:
The largest dimension of the fully-enclosed PC is L, the gravity direction is Y, the
upper space of the PC is +Y, while the lower space of the PC is –Y, as shown in the
Picture 1 and Picture 2 below.

largest dimension of the PC;
2. Low space -Y > L: below the PC, there should be a space at least the same size as
the largest dimension of the PC;
3. There should be at least 0.5L space for the other four directions (front, rear, left,
right);
4. In the above heat exchange areas, there should be no other heat generating object or
space divider, and no other article is allowed to be placed on the surface of chassis;
5. There should be heat exchange channel between heat exchange area and outside
natural environment, such as air moving equipment, and air inlet/outlet to ensure air
circulation, etc.;
6. The temperature of lower space (20～50mm from the bottom of the PC) should be

Software Introduction
BPI
eManager
BIOS programming interface
specification, which provides
unified interface for software to
access hardware.
A platform management
application software developed
based on BPI, which enables
users to check the status of
embedded PCs, keep daily
records, and facilitates basic
functions of embedded PCs,
such as WDT, GPIO, boot
order, and etc.
All the X86 motherboards and
PCs of EVOC company
(products produced after
October 2011)
All the motherboards/complete
PCs that support BPI can run
eManager, and the sub-functions
depend on the specific
motherboard. For those which
do not support BPI,
customization service can be
provided. (Please consult
customer service for the cost).
· 20 · EIC-3011
Software Introduction
6.1 BPI Overview
EVOC BPI (BIOS Programming Interface) is a cross-platform, easy-to-maintain
software interface specification, which supports access to hardware under the
Protected Mode of 32-bit or 64-bit operating system and supports multi-process and
multi-threading hardware access. BPI is a bridge between hardware and application
software, and its purpose is to provide a unified standard interface for the application
layer (in the form of library function, similar to library function of standard C). With
BPI, application software engineer do not need to care about the specific hardware
solution of the motherboard. The users can use BPI library to rapidly develop their
own software products, and when the hardware of the motherboard is upgraded, there
is no need to modify the application software or driver and the former software can
operate on the new platform normally. BPI has greatly sped up the product
development and reduced the maintenance cost. The BPI architecture is shown in the
Figure 1 below:
EIC-3011 · 21 ·
Software Introduction
Figure 1 BPI architecture
1. Function Supported by BPI
1) Watchdog
Supports Watchdog boot, stop and feed Watchdog function.
2) GPIO
Supports GPIO input/output programming.
3) Hardware monitoring
Supports monitoring of motherboard CPU temperature, system temperature, fan
rotation speed and motherboard core voltage detection, such as CPU Core
voltage, V12.0, battery voltage, and etc.
The user can use BPI library for second development based on application
requirement, for example:
1) Detecting CPU temperature: If the temperature is too high, a buzzer will
be triggered to send alarm.
2) To control peripheral devices by GPIO programming.
2. Advantages of BPI
1) Platform Irrelevant
It is an interface provided by BPI to application layer, which means the BPI
library function is platform-irrelevant, so the software developed by BPI
function library can operate on a new hardware platform supporting BPI
function normally without making any modification.
2) Security and High Reliability
The BPI function library accessing the hardware is programmed by the
motherboard developer and is strictly tested; therefore, it can avoid system
malfunction caused by improper operation of the system hardware.
· 22 · EIC-3011
Software Introduction
3) Easy Maintenance
Traditional WDT and GPIO programming are closely related to the hardware
with complicated test and debug process and software of different platforms;
however, the software developed by BPI only requires one set of the
maintenance software.
4) Low Cost
Developing the applications by BPI will not result in additional hardware and
software cost. Application software engineer can conveniently use BPI library
functions for second development, and do not need to pay attention to access
information of specific hardware. So it will greatly reduce the development
difficulty, shorten development cycle and boost time-to-market for the system
integrator.
6.2 FMI Overview
FMI (Firmware Management Interface) is management software developed based on
BPI specifications. Currently, FMI supports eLogo function. For its test program,
please refer to the eManager software in the user manual CD.
1) eLog
eLog keeps operation records of the PC in details, such as the time for first boot,
completion time of the test, date of production, time of each power-on/off, total
times of power-on of the system, times of illegal power-off, total online time
length of the PC, total heart beat times of the CPU. eLog management
information can provide valuable reference for failure analysis and product
upgrade.

9.3 ESD Guideline
Definition of ESD
All the electronic modules are equipped with large-scale integrated IC or assemblies.
Due to their own design, these electronic components are extremely sensitive to
over-voltage, so they are also extremely sensitive to any ESD.
ESD-sensitive assemblies/modules are usually called ESD devices. It is also the
internationally universal abbreviation for this type of devices.
The following sign can be used to identify ESD module:
Caution
ESD device may be damaged by any voltage which is much lower than ca
by human. If the component of the device you contact does not dissipate
electrostatic charges in your body, a static voltage will be generated. ESD current
may lead to potential problem of the module, or damage to the mo
