2 Introduction

Kontron User's Guide ETX®-LX2

2 Introduction

2.1 ETX®-LX

The ETX®-LX is an ETX® (Embedded Technology eXtended) form factor computer-on-module combining the extremely low power consumption and high performance of the AMD Geode™ LX 800 Processor with integrated Northbridge and the AMD CS5536 Companion Device. The LX 800 features a 128KB L2 Cache and supports DDR400 SODIMM up to 1024 MB.

The ETX®-LX is fully compliant with the ETX® Component SBC™ Specification V3.0. This computer-onmodule features a 32-bit/33MHz PCI Bus Interface, IDE, serial ports, parallel port, Ethernet, Compact Flash, USB v2.0, LVDS panel support, keyboard/mouse and AC’97 audio. The flexibility of the ETX® computer-on-module concept allows the baseboard designer to optimize how each of these functions is physically implemented.

2.2 ETX® Documentation

This product manual serves as one of three principal references for an ETX® design. It documents the specifications and features of

ETX®-LX

modules. The other two references, which are available from the

Kontron Web site, include:

The ETX® Specification defines the ETX® module form factor, pin out, and signals. You should read this first.

The ETX® Design Guide serves as a general guide for baseboard design, with a focus on maximum flexibility to accommodate a range of ETX® modules.

2.3 ETX® Benefits

Embedded technology extended (ETX®) modules are very compact (~100mm square, 12mm thick), highly integrated computers. All ETX® modules feature a standardized form factor and a standardized connector layout that carry a specified set of signals. This standardization allows designers to create a single-system baseboard that can accept present and future ETX® modules.

ä

ETX® modules include common personal computer (PC) peripheral functions such as:

ä

Graphics

ä

Parallel, Serial, and USB ports

ä

Keyboard/mouse

ä

Ethernet

ä

Sound

ä

IDE

The baseboard designer can optimize exactly how each of these functions implements physically. Designers can place connectors precisely where needed for the application on a baseboard designed to optimally fit a system’s packaging.

2 Introduction

Kontron User's Guide ETX®-LX2

11

Peripheral PCI or ISA buses can be implemented directly on the baseboard rather than on mechanically unwieldy expansion cards. The ability to build a system on a single baseboard using the computer as one plug-in component simplifies packaging, eliminates cabling, and significantly reduces system-level cost.

A single baseboard design can use a range of ETX® modules. This flexibility can differentiate products at various price/performance points, or to design future proof systems that have a built-in upgrade path. The modularity of an ETX® solution also ensures against obsolescence as computer technology evolves. A properly designed ETX® baseboard can work with several successive generations of ETX® modules.

An ETX® baseboard design has many advantages of a custom, computer-board design but delivers better obsolescence protection, greatly reduced engineering effort, and faster time to market.

Operating: (with Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH heat-spreader plate assembly):

ä

Ambient temperature: 0 to +60 C

ä

Maximum Heatspreader-plate temperature: 0 to +60 C (*)

Non-operating: -30 to +85 C

See the

Thermal Management chapter for additional information.

Note: *The maximum operating temperature with the Heatspreader plate is the maximum measurable

temperature on any spot on the Heatspreader’s surface. You must maintain the temperature according to the above specification.

3.5.2 Humidity

ä

Operating: 10% to 90% (non condensing)

ä

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.

Notes: Fans usually shipped with Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH products have 50,000-hour typical operating

life. 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.

9 Design Considerations

Kontron User's Guide ETX®-LX2

27

9 Design Considerations

9.1 Thermal Management

A heat-spreader assembly is available from Kontron for the

ETX®-LX

. The heat-spreader plate on top of this assembly is NOT a heat sink. It works as an ETX®-standard thermal interface to use with a heat sink or other cooling device.

External cooling must be provided to maintain the heat-spreader plate at proper operating temperatures. Under worst-case conditions, the cooling mechanism must maintain an ambient air and Heatspreader plate temperature of 60 C or less.

The aluminium slugs and thermal pads on the underside of the heat-spreader assembly implement thermal interfaces between the Heatspreader plate and the major heat-generating components on the

ETX®-LX

. About 80 percent of the power dissipated within the module is conducted to the heat-spreader

plate and can be removed by the cooling solution.

The total power consumption of the

ETX®-LX

module is 6.6 watts typical (with 512 MB DDR400). Design

the cooling solution accordingly.

Design the cooling solution to dissipate 10 watts to provide adequate cooling for the ETX®-LX.

You can use many thermal-management solutions with the heat-spreader plates, including active and passive approaches. The optimum cooling solution varies, depending on the ETX® application and environmental conditions. Please see the

ETX® Design Guide

for further information on thermal

management.

11.11 PC Health Status

Temperature Sensor:

The PCB and CPU temperatures are provided via an National Semiconductor LM86. The PCB temperature is the internal and the CPU temperature the external measurement.

11.12 Load Fail-Safe Defaults

When you press <Enter> on this item you get a confirmation dialog box with a message similar to:

Load Fail-Safe Defaults (Y/N)? N

Pressing 'Y' loads the BIOS default values for the most stable, minimal-performance system operation.

11.13 Load Optimized Defaults

When you press <Enter> on this item you get a confirmation dialog box with a message similar to:

Load Optimized Defaults (Y/N)? N

Pressing 'Y' loads the default values which are the factory settings for optimal-performance system operation.

11.14 Supervisor/User Password Setting

You can set either the supervisor or the user password, or both. The differences between them are:

ä

Supervisor: is allowed to enter Setup and change the options.

ä

User: is allowed to enter Setup but not to change the options.

When you select either function, the following message will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.

ENTER PASSWORD:

11 Appendix C: BIOS Operation

Kontron User's Guide ETX®-LX2

49

Type the new password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The new password will clear any previously entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the change.

To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A message will confirm that password protection will be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.

PASSWORD DISABLED.

When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your system configuration. Additionally, when you have enabled a password, you can also require the BIOS to request the password every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer.

You can determine when the password is requested in the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security option (see above). If the Security option is set to "System", a password will be required both at boot and on entry into Setup. If set to "Setup", a password is required only when trying to enter Setup.

11.15 Exit Selection

Save & Exit Setup

Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:

Save to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y

Pressing "Y" stores the selections you made in CMOS - a special section of memory that stays on after you turn your system off. The next time you boot your computer, the BIOS configures your system according to the Setup selections stored in CMOS. After saving the values, the system is restarted.

Exit Without Saving

Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:

Quit without saving (Y/N)? Y

This allows you to exit Setup without storing any changes in CMOS. The previous selections remain in effect. This exits the Setup utility and restarts your computer.

12.5.2 Parallel Port / Floppy Interfaces

You can configure ETX® parallel port interfaces as conventional PC parallel ports or as an interface for a floppy-disk drive. You can select the operating mode in the BIOS settings or by a hardware mode-select pin.

If Pin X3-51 (LPT/FLPY#) is grounded at boot time, the floppy support mode is selected. If the pin is left floating or is held high, parallel-port mode is selected. The mode selection is determined at boot time. It cannot be changed until the next boot cycle.

13 Appendix F: Limitations

This list documents the limitations of Kontron’s ETX®-LX board. It documents which BIOS- or hardware revision will fix a certain limitation.

13.1 BIOS Limitations

ä

External Super I/O does not work after S3

13.2 Hardware Limitations

PCI bus is only 3,3V and NOT 5V compatible

Note: Do not use PCI hardware which only supports 5V.

ISA Bus limitations

ä

The signals IOCHCK#, MASTER#, NOWS#, REFSH# and SBHE# are not supported

ä

16bit DMA signals DRQ5…7 and DACK5…7 are not available

ä

16bit ISA memory access is not supported

13 Appendix F: Limitations

67

13.3 Workaround for drop in supply voltage in AT/single supply mode

In some error case were the level of the power supply breaks down for shorter than 100ms, the module will not wake up again.

If the power supply on the baseboard is not able to avoid this error case, the module can be waken up after the supply voltage is valid again by generating a pulse on the power button signal (pin X4.7). This pulse has to be low active generated by an open drain circuit with a duration of at least 1ms.

14 Appendix E: JIDA Standard

Kontron User's Guide ETX®-LX2

68

14 Appendix E: JIDA Standard

Every board with an on-board BIOS extension supports the following function calls, which supply information about the board. Jump

tec

Intelligent Device Architecture (JIDA) functions are called via

Interrupt 15h. Functions include:

ä

AH=Eah

ä

AL=function number

ä

DX=4648h (security word)

ä

CL=board number (starting with 1)

The interrupt returns a CL0 if a board with the number specified in CL does not exist. CL will equal 0 if the board number exists. In this case, the content of DX determines if the operation was successful. DX=6B6Fh indicates success; other values indicate an error.

14.1 JIDA Information

To obtain information about boards that follow the JIDA standard, use the following procedure.

ä

Call Get BIOS ID with CL=1. The name of the first device installed will be returned. If you see the result Board exists (CL=0), increment CL, and call Get BIOS ID again.

ä

Repeat until you see Board not present (CL0). You now know the names of all boards within your system that follow the JIDA standard.

ä

You can find out more information about a specific board by calling the appropriate inquiry function with the board’s number in CL.

Note: Association between board and board number may change because of configuration changes. Do not rely

on any association between board and board number. Always use the procedure described above to determine the association between board and board number.

Refer to the JIDA manual in the jidai1xx.zip folder, which is available from the Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH Web site, for further information on implementing and using JIDA calls with C sample code.
