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.
1. Upper space +Y > 2L: above the PC, there should be a space at least twice the
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.;
Product Installation
· 16 · M50 SERIES
6. The temperature of lower space (20～50mm from the bottom
of the PC) should be
no more than the rated operating environment temperature of the PC;
7. At any point in the heat exchange area, the air flow speed should not be lower than
0.2m/s.
Picture 1 Largest dimensions of the PC
Picture 2 Heat exchange area
During the installation, the heat sink fin on the chassis should be in the same direction
of ventilation inside the chassis to ensure better heat dissipation effect. Two
ventilation methods are recommended, as shown in the Picture 3 and Picture 4.

BPI
BIOS programming interface
specification, which provides
unified interface for software
to access hardware.
All supporting BPI motherboards
and PCs of EVOC company
eManager
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 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).
Software Introduction
· 28 · M50 SERIES
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:
Software Introduction
M50 SERIES · 29 ·
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:
a) Detecting CPU temperature: If the temperature is too high, a buzzer will be
triggered to send alarm.
b) 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.
Software Introduction
· 30 · M50 SERIES
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.

7. BIOS Setup
(Suitable for M50-E models)
7.1 UEFI Overview
UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is the latest computer firmware to
replace traditional BIOS. UEFI is solidified in the flash memory on the CPU board. Its
main functions include: initialize system hardware, set the operating status of the
system components, adjust the operating parameters of the system components,
diagnose the functions of the system components and report failures, provide hardware
operating and controlling interface for the upper level software system, guide
operating system and so on. UEFI provides users with a human-computer interface in
menu style to facilitate the configuration of system parameters for users, control power
management mode and adjust the resource distribution of system device, etc.
Setting the parameters of the UEFI correctly could enable the system operating stably
and reliably; it could also improve the overall performance of the system at the same
time. Inadequate even incorrect UEFI parameter setting will decrease the system
operating capability and make the system operating unstably even unable to operate
normally.
7.2 UEFI Parameter Setup
Prompt message for UEFI setting may appear once powering on the system. At that
time (invalid at other time), press the key specified in the prompt message (usually
<Del> or < ESC >) to enter UEFI setting.
All the setup values modified by UEFI (excluding data and time) are saved in the flash
storage in system; the contents will not be lost even if powered down or remove the
battery of the board. The data and time are saved in CMOS storage, which is powered
by battery; unless clearing CMOS is executed, its contents would not be lost even if
powered off.
Note! UEFI setting will influence the computer performance directly. Setting
parameter improperly will cause damage to the computer; it may even be unable to
power on. Please use the internal default value of UEFI to restore the system.
Our company is constantly researching and updating UEFI, its setup interface may
be a bit different. The figure below is for reference only; it may be different from
your UEFI setting in use.

7.5 UEFI Overview
UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is the latest computer firmware to
replace traditional BIOS. UEFI is solidified in the flash memory on the CPU board.
Its main functions include: initialize system hardware, set the operating status of the
system components, adjust the operating parameters of the system components,
diagnose the functions of the system components and report failures, provide
hardware operating and controlling interface for the upper level software system,
guide operating system and so on. UEFI provides users with a human-computer
interface in menu style to facilitate the configuration of system parameters for users,
control power management mode and adjust the resource distribution of system
device, etc.
Setting the parameters of the UEFI correctly could enable the system operating stably
and reliably; it could also improve the overall performance of the system at the same
time. Inadequate even incorrect UEFI parameter setting will decrease the system
operating capability and make the system operating unstably even unable to operate
normally.
7.6 UEFI Parameter Setup
Prompt message for UEFI setting may appear once powering on the system. At that
time (invalid at other time), press the key specified in the prompt message (usually
<Del> or <F2>) to enter UEFI setting.
All the setup values modified by UEFI (excluding data and time) are saved in the flash
storage in system; the contents will not be lost even if powered down or remove the
battery of the board. The data and time are saved in CMOS storage, which is powered
by battery; unless clearing CMOS is executed, its contents would not be lost even if
powered off.
Note! UEFI setting will influence the computer performance directly. Setting
parameter improperly will cause damage to the computer; it may even be unable to
power on. Please use the internal default value of UEFI to restore the system.
Our company is constantly researching and updating UEFI, its setup interface may
be a bit different. The figure below is for reference only; it may be different from
your UEFI setting in use.

IRQ Assignment Table
There are 15 interrupt sources of the system. Some have been occupied by the
system devices. Only the ones that are not occupied can be assigned to other
devices. ISA device requests exclusive use of its interrupt. Only the plug and
play ISA devices can be assigned by the UEFI or the OS. And several PCI
devices can share one interrupt, which is assigned by UEFI or OS. Interrupt
assignment of some devices of X86 platform is shown in the table below, but it
does not show the interrupt source occupied by the PCI devices.
