Chapter 2 Introduction
2. Introduction
2.1 ePanel Concept
Time is something no one has enough of. „Short time-to-market“ is a nightmare everybody suffers from. A
new concept promises a lot of advantages, but how to actually realize them in these short time frames?
Especially embedded boards are not always easy connectable, think of tangling cables or missing adapters.
Kontron recognized this problem and developed the ePanel, a platform for OEM and ODM. Its main benefit is
the high integration of mobile accessories and components in conjunction with mechanical fit and function.
To build a mobile computer, just add a battery, TFT display, inverter and housing and you are set. Now
system design and application development gets a great boost forward. Others still look for adapters while
your project already started.
In order to stay close to state-of-the-art computer technologies of the desktop PC market, the ECT business
(Embedded Computer Technology) demands adequate processor performance for many applications. There
are many standards for CPU boards with a lot of advantages or restrictions. Unfortunately none of these
products care about the increasing customer specialization. A board that suits all your requirements out of
the box is pretty much impossible to find, but the ePanel fits almost all mobile and space critical applications. Only a customized module will fulfill all requirements. But away from standard products, a
customer has to tolerate long development cycles and costly problems when it comes to quick replacements
or easy upgrades. The solution to these obviously conflicting demands for a customized solution from
standard parts now got a name: ePanel.
Quick integration and nevertheless standard PC technology.
The ePanel is a complete PC with standard interfaces including USB and additional options such as Sound
capabilities, PC-Card, Touch & Matrix controller, TV-In, Flat panel interface and 100 MBit Ethernet, etc.
Smallest Dimensions to meet smallest space requirements.
With 252 cm
2
the ePanel uses only a little more space compared to a current slot CPU, which needs 219 cm2.
But the most surprising fact is the module height.
How about the ISA bus?
Nowadays the ISA bus is considered a legacy bus, therefore it is discarded in favor of the more recent Buses
like miniPCI, Cardbus and USB.
There must be replacements or upgrades for future requirements.
Kontron will expand and improve this innovative and handy ePanel concept. New PC technologies will be
obtainable the same way as in other Kontron product families. An ePanel board does not force you in
excessive, expensive cabling or baseboard design. Only the really required interfaces have to be connected
to their respective connectors. Which ones to implement, others to skip - the decision is up to you.
Evaluation adapters and kits are available for initial testing.
The application requests low power.
Do not worry about that. Depending on OS and used options, the ePanel consumes approximately 24 Watts
depending on input voltage and selected CPU type and speed.

Chapter 2 Introduction
Finally the ePanel suits you well?
Great, glad to hear that... just start mass production. Before doing so I would like to let you know that
Kontron is aware of the short life cycles of PC products. To prevent you costly redesigns we ensured
longevity for the ePanel in this volatile PC market
2.2 ePanel Overview
The ePanel is structured in a modular way, so we can offer you different flavours in processing power, power
consumption and I/O capabilities. Please refer to the following matrix to choose the product that suits your
needs best.

1 The maximum operating temperature is the maximum measurable temperature on any spot on a module’s
surface. You must maintain the temperature according to the above specification.
3.5.2 Humidity
Operating: 10% to 90% (non condensing)
Non operating: 5% to 95% (non condensing)
3.6 MTBF
The following MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) values were calculated using a combination of manufacturer’s test data, if the data was available, and a Bellcore calculation for the remaining parts. The
Bellcore calculation used is “Method 1 Case 1”. In that particular method the components are assumed to be
operating at a 50% stress level in a 40°C ambient environment and the system is assumed to have not been
burned in. Manufacturer’s data has been used wherever possible. The manufacturer’s data, when used, is
specified at 50°C, so in that sense the following results are slightly conservative. The MTBF values shown
below are for a 40°C in an office or telecommunications environment. Higher temperatures and other
environmental stresses (extreme altitude, vibration, salt water exposure, etc.) lower MTBF values.
System MTBF (hours) : tbd
Fans usually shipped with Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH products have 50,000-hour typical operating life.
Note:
The above estimates assume no fan, but a passive heat sinking arrangement. Estimated RTC battery life (as
opposed to battery failures) is not accounted for in the above figures and need to be considered for
separately. Battery life depends on both temperature and operating conditions. When the Kontron unit has
external power; the only battery drain is from leakage paths.

To determine whether your panel display is supported, check the Kontron Website for panel lists. We regularly update the list of panels that have been tested with the ePanel PM.
If you use one of those adapters supplied by Kontron, configuration is easy:
Check whether you have the correct adapter and cable for the panel you plan to use. Inspect
the cable for damages. Disconnect the power from your system.
Check Jumper J1702 for correct Panel voltage (R1700 = 12V R1701 = 5V R1702 = 3.3V).
Check Jumper J1700 for correct Backlight voltage (Pos. 1-2 = 5V 2-3 = 12V).
Check Jumper J1701 for correct Backlight on/off polarity (Pos. 1-2 = Low 2-3 = High).
Connect the cable to the LCD Panel connector X1702 or X1704 on the ePanel PM and connect
the other end to your display.
Connect the backlight converter.
Supply power to your system.
If no image appears on your display, connect a CRT monitor to the CRT connector.

Chapter 23 Watchdog Timer
23. Watchdog Timer
The watchdog timer (WDT) is integrated in the Winbond W83627 controller of the ePanel PM and can issue a
reset to the system. The watchdog timer circuit has to be triggered within a specified time by the application
software. If the watchdog timer is not triggered because proper software execution fails or a hardware
malfunction occurs, it resets the system.
23.1 Configuration
You can set the watchdog timer to Disabled, Reset or NMI. You can specify the delay time and the time-out
(trigger period) from 1 second to 30 minutes. The delay time is the time after first initialization before the
trigger period starts. The timeout is the time the watchdog timer has to be triggered within. You can make
the initialization settings in the BIOS setup.
23.2 Programming
23.2.1 Initialization
You can initialize the watchdog timer from the BIOS setup. You also can set up the initialization from the
application software with help of the JIDA (Jumptec Intelligent Device Architecture) programmer’s interface.
23.2.2 Trigger
The watchdog needs to be triggered out of the application software within a specified timeout period. You
can only do this in the application software by using low-level programming or with help of the JIDA programmer’s interface.
For information about the JIDA programmer’s interface refer to the JIDA software packages on the Kontron
Website.

Chapter 24 Hardware Monitor
24. Hardware Monitor
The Winbond W83627 controller monitors several critical hardware parameters of the system, including
power-supply voltages, fan speed and CPU temperature, which are very important for a high-end computer
system to remain stable and function properly.
The following parameters are monitored:
+3.3V from onboard DC/DC
CPU core voltage
+5V standby voltage
Battery voltage
CPU temperature with on-die diode
CPU fan speed
24.1 Configuration
You can use the Hardware Monitor submenu in the BIOS Setup Utility to obtain information on voltages, fan
speed and to check the temperature of the CPU die.
To monitor the parameters of this feature from your operating system, Kontron recommends that you use
the 32-bit protected mode J

Chapter 25/26 Thermal Management/Power Management
25. Thermal Management
The Thermal Management feature of the ePanel PM helps control the processor’s temperature by activating
the automatic thermal throttling after the processor silicon reaches a certain temperature. This feature can
be enabled and configured in the BIOS Setup utility. You can specify the temperature level when throttling
starts, define a hysteresis value to get back to 100% CPU performance, and specify the percentage for CPU
performance in throttling mode. Automatic thermal throttling mode does not require additional hardware,
software drivers, or interrupt-handling routines.
Additionally the processor of the ePanel PM protects itself from catastrophic overheating by use of an
internal thermal sensor. This sensor is set well above the normal operating temperature to ensure that there
are no false trips. The processor will stop all execution when the junction temperature exceeds the sensor
setting. This is signaled to the system by the THERMTRIP# (Thermal Trip) pin. Once activated, the signal
remains latched, and the processor stopped, until RESET# goes active. There is no hysteresis built into the
thermal sensor itself; as long as the die temperature drops below the trip level, a RESET# pulse will reset the
processor and execution will continue. If the temperature has not dropped below the trip level, the
processor will continue to drive THERMTRIP# and remain stopped. The temperature level for catastrophic
overheating being activated is 135°C.

28.9 Kontron BIOS Extensions
Besides the PHOENIX System BIOS, the ePanel PM comes with a few BIOS extensions that support special
features. All extensions are located in the onboard Flash. Some extensions are permanently available; some
are loaded if required during boot-up.
Supported features include:
JIDA standard
Remote Control feature (JRC)
Onboard LAN PXE ROM
All enabled BIOS extensions require shadow RAM. However, if the system memory cannot find free memory
space because all the memory is already used for add-on peripherals, the BIOS extensions do not load.
28.9.1 JIDA BIOS Extension
The JUMPtec Intelligent Device Architecture (JIDA) interface is integrated into the BIOS of the ePanel PM
board. This interface enables hardware-independent access to features that cannot be accessed via
standard APIs. Functions such as watchdog timer, brightness of LCD backlight and user bytes in the EEPROM
can be configured with ease by taking advantage of this standard board feature.
The JIDA BIOS extension is not a true extension BIOS. It is part of the system BIOS and is located in the
system BIOS segments after boot-up. It is permanently available and supports the JIDA 16-bit standard and
the JIDA 32-bit standard.
The JIDA 16-bit standard is a software interrupt 15h driven interface for programmers and offers lots of
board information functions. For detailed information about programming, refer to the JIDA specification
and a source code example (JIDAI???.ZIP), which you can find on the Kontron Website. The three question
marks represent the revision number of the file. You also can contact technical support for this file.
For other operating systems, special drivers (JIDAIA??.ZIP) are available. You can download the zip file from
the Kontron Website.
28.9.2 Remote Control Client Extension
You can remotely control the ePanel PM using software available from Kontron (JRC-1, Part Number 960470000-00-0). This software tool can communicate with the board via one of the serial ports. During boot-up,
the system BIOS scans the serial ports for an available JRC connection. If detected, it loads the JRC client
BIOS extension into the memory. With the JRC client loaded into the first detected free memory location
between C0000h and DFFFFh, a 16K block is shadowed.
For more information on the Remote Control usage, refer to the JRC-1 technical manual or Application Note
JRCUsage_E???.PDF, which you can find on the Kontron Website.
Kontron User's Guide ePanel PM

Chapter 28 Setup Guide
28.9.3 LAN PXE ROM
This optional ROM allows you to boot the ePanel PM over an Ethernet connection. If the onboard LAN PXE
ROM is enabled in the system BIOS setup, an optional ROM for the Ethernet controller loads into memory
during boot up. A server with Intel PXE boot support is required on the other side of the Ethernet connection. The setup and configuration of the server, including PXE support, is not the responsibility of
Kontron.
The PXE ROM extension is loaded into the first free memory area between D0000h and DFFFFh.
28.10 Updating or Restoring BIOS Using PHOENIX Phlash
PHOENIX Phlash allows you to update the BIOS by using a floppy disk without having to install a new ROM
chip. PHOENIX Phlash is a utility used to flash a BIOS to the Flash ROM installed on the ePanel PM.
Use PHOENIX Phlash to:
Update the current BIOS with a newer version
Restore a corrupt BIOS
28.10.1 Flashing a BIOS
Use the following procedure to update or restore the BIOS.
Download the PHOENIX Phlash compressed file, (t.b.d.).ZIP, from the KONTRON Embedded
Modules Website or contact your local technical support for it. The zip file contains the following:
File Description
MAKEBOOT.EXE Creates the custom boot sector on the Crisis Recovery Diskette.
CRISBOOT.BIN Serves as the Crisis Recovery boot sector code.
MINIDOS.SYS Allows the system to boot in Crisis Recovery Mode.
PHLASH16.EXE Programs the flash ROM.
WINCRIS.EXE Creates the Crisis Recovery Diskette from Windows.
WINCRIS.HLP Serves as the help file of WINCRISES.EXE.
CRISDISK.BAT Batch file for crisis disk.
BIOS.WPH Serves as the actual BIOS image to be programmed into Flash ROM.
Install PHOENIX Phlash on a hard disk by unzipping the contents of the (t.b.d.).ZIP into a local
directory such as C:\PHLASH.
Create a Crisis Recovery Diskette by inserting a blank diskette into Drive A: or B: and execute
WINCRISIS.EXE. This copies three files onto the diskette.
Kontron User's Guide ePanel PM
61
Chapter 28 Setup Guide
File Description
MINIDOS.SYS Allows the system to boot in Crisis Recovery Mode.
PHLASH16.EXE Programs the flash ROM.
BIOS.ROM Serves as the actual BIOS image to be programmed into Flash ROM.
If the BIOS image (BIOS.ROM) changes because of an update or bug fix, copy the new BIOS
onto the diskette and name it BIOS.ROM. PHOENIX Phlash runs in either command line mode or
crisis recovery mode.
Use the command line mode to update or replace the BIOS. To execute Phlash in this mode,
move to the Crisis Recovery Disk and type:
PHLASH16 <bios name> (Example: PHLASH16 ePPMR100.WPH)
PHOENIX Phlash will update the BIOS. PHOENIX Phlash can fail if the system uses memory ma-
nagers. If this occurs, the utility displays the following message: Cannot flash when memory
manager are present. If you see this message after you execute Phlash, disable the memory
manager or use parameter /x for Phlash16.exe.
PHLASH16 /X <bios name>
28.10.2 Preventing Problems When Updating or Restoring BIOS
Updating the BIOS represents a potential hazard. Power failures or fluctuations can occur when you update
the Flash ROM can damage the BIOS code, making the system unbootable.
To prevent this hazard, many systems come with a boot-block Flash ROM. The boot-block region contains a
fail-safe recovery routine. If the boot-block code finds a corrupted BIOS (checksum fails), it boots into the
crisis recovery mode and loads a BIOS image from a crisis diskette (see above).
Additionally, the end user can insert an update key into the parallel port (LPT) to force initiating the boot
block recovery routine.
For further information on the update key and the crisis diskette, see the Application Note PHLASH_SCE???,
which is available from the KONTRON Embedded Modules Website. The three question marks stand for the
revision number of the file.

A.4 Memory Map
The ePanel PM can support up to 1 GB memory modules. The first 640 kB of DRAM are used as main memory.
Using DOS, you can address 1 MB of memory directly. Memory area above 1 MB (high memory, extended
memory) is accessed under DOS via special drivers such as HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE, which are part of
the operating system. Please refer to the operating system documentation or special textbooks for information about HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE.
Other operating systems (Linux or Windows versions) allow you to address the full memory area directly.

Appendix B Technology Information
Appendix B: Technology Information
The following technological information is designed to give the reader a better understanding of some of
features of the ePanel PM.
B.1 Thermal Monitor and Catastrophic Thermal Protection
The Thermal Monitor within the Pentium M processor helps to control the processor temperature by activating the TCC (Thermal Control Circuit) when the processor silicon reaches its maximum operating temperature. The temperature at which the Intel Thermal Monitor activates the TCC is not user-configurable and is
not software visible.
The Thermal Monitor controls the processor temperature by modulating (starting and stopping) the CPU
core clocks at a 50% duty cycle (TM1) or by initiating an Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology transition
(TM2) when the processor silicon reaches its maximum operating temperature (selectable in setup).
Note: TM2 is the recommended mode for the Intel Pentium M processor. Not supported on the ePanel PM Celeron M
version.
Thermal Monitor supports two modes to activate the TCC: Automatic and On-Demand mode. The Intel
Thermal Monitor Automatic Mode must be enabled via BIOS for the processor to be operating within specification.
Automatic mode does not require any additional hardware, software drivers, or interrupt handling routines.
Note: With a properly designed thermal solution, the TCC is only active for very short periods, hence processor perfor-
mance impact is expected to be so minor that it would not be detectable. For more details see chapter 5.1.2 of
the Intel Pentium M Processor Datasheet.
The Intel Pentium M processor supports the THERMTRIP# signal for catastrophic thermal protection.
In the event of a catastrophic cooling failure, the processor will automatically shut down when the silicon
has reached a temperature of approximately 125°C. At this point the system BUS signal THERMTRIP# will go
active.
THERMTRIP# activation is independent of processor activity and does not generate any bus cycles.
Thermal Control Circuit reduces performance when the processor reaches its max. operating temperature
(100°C). THERMTRIP# shuts down the system in case of catastrophic cooling failure.
B.2 Processor Performance Control
The Pentium M processor can run in different performance states (multiple frequency/voltage operating
points). The CPU performance can be altered while the computer is functioning. This allows the processor to
run at different core frequencies and voltages depending on CPU thermal state and OS policy.
Kontron User's Guide ePanel PM
69
Appendix B Technology Information
Windows XP includes built-in processor performance control to operate the processor more efficiently when
it is not fully utilized. Win2k, WinME and Win9x do not support processor performance control. Special
software is required for Operating Systems not capable of processor performance control.
In Windows, the processor performance control policy is linked to the Power Scheme setting in the control
panel power option applet.
Note: Windows always runs at the highest performance state when the “Home/Office” or “Always On” power scheme
is selected.
B.3 Thermal Management
ACPI allows the OS to play a role in the thermal management of the system. With the OS in control of the
operating environment, cooling decisions can be made based on the application load on the CPU and the
thermal heuristics of the system.
The ACPI thermal solution on ePanel PM supports three cooling policies:
Active Cooling
The OS is turning the fan on/off. Active cooling devices typically consume power and
produce noise, but are able to cool a thermal zone without limiting system performance. The active cooling trip point declares the temperature threshold the OS uses
to decide when to start/stop active cooling devices.
Passive Cooling
The OS reduces the power consumption of the processor by throttling the processor
clock to reduce the temperature of the thermal zone. Passive cooling devices (processor) produce no noise. The passive cooling trip point declares the temperature
threshold where the OS will start or stop passive cooling.
Critical Trip Point
The OS performs an orderly, but critical, shutdown of the system when the temperature
reaches the critical trip point.
B.4 FAN Connector
This section describes how to connect a fan to the connector located directly on the ePanel PM. With certain
BIOS-settings it is possible to control the fan depending on the Active Trip Point temperature. The fan
switches on/off depending on the adjusted Active Trip Point temperature. In order for this feature to
function properly an ACPI compliant OS is necessary.
Kontron User's Guide ePanel PM
70
Appendix B Technology Information
B.5 Processor Clock Throttling
The ACPI OS assesses the optimum CPU performance change necessary to lower the temperature using the
following equation:
∆P[%] = TC1(Tn-T
∆P is the performance delta, Tt is the target temperature = critical trip point. The two coefficients TC1 and
TC2 and the sampling period TSP are hardware dependent constants the end user must supply.
It’s up to the end user to set the cooling preference of the system by setting the appropriate trip points in
the BIOS setup.
