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

Note:
Operating (with appropriate airflow): 0 to +60°C

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.

6.3 Connecting a LCD Panel
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).
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.
If you still do not see improvement, consider contacting the dealer for technical support.
6.4 Available Video Modes
The following list shows the video modes supported by the graphics controller with maximum frame buffer
size. When configured for saller frame buffers and/or using a LCD panel on the JILI interface, not all of the

Chapter 7 Serial-Port Interfaces
7. Serial-Port Interfaces
Two fully functional serial ports (COMA and COMB) provide asynchronous serial communications. COMA and
COMB support RS-232 operation modes. They are 16550 high-speed UART compatible and support 16-byte
FIFO buffers for transfer rates from 50 Baud to 115.2 KBaud.
7.1 Connector
COMA is available through the X504 connector (50 pins). A suitable adapter with cable set is disposable
from Kontron (ePanel-Adapt-V2, Part Number 22223).
