1 Introduction

This manual describes the KTUS15/mITX family of boards made by KONTRON Technology A/S.
All boards have included Intel Atom Processors (BGA) processors, either 1.1GHz or 1.6GHz Ultra Low Power, depending on actual board configuration. The Intel® US15W chipset is used on all configurations. Available configurations are:
Use of this manual implies a basic knowledge of PC-AT hardware and software. This manual is focused on describing the KTUS15 board’s special features and is not intended to be a standard PC-AT textbook.
New users are recommended to study the short installation procedure stated in chapter 2 before switching­on the power.
All configuration and setup of the CPU board is either done automatically or by the user in the CMOS setup menus. Except for the CMOS Clear jumper and the Boot BIOS ROM Selection jumper, no jumper configuration is required.

Warning: When mounting the board to chassis etc. please notice that the board contains
without reasonable care. A damaged component can result in malfunction or no function at all.
Note: To clear all CMOS settings, including Password protection, move the Clr-CMOS jumper (with or
correctly when reinserted.

2 Installation procedure

2.1 Installing the board

To get the board running, follow these steps. In some cases the board shipped from KONTRON Technology has DDR2 DRAM mounted. In this case Step 2 can be skipped.
1. Turn off the PSU (power supply unit)
2. Insert the DDR2 SODIMM 200pin DRAM module
See guidelines below for assembling / disassembling memory module. For a list of approved DDR2 DIMM modules contact your Distributor or FAE. DDR2-400 and DDR2-533 SODIMM 200pin DRAM modules (PC3200, PC4200) are supported.
3. Connect Interfaces
Insert all external cables for hard disk, keyboard etc. A CRT or DVI monitor (depending on actual KTUS15 version) must be connected in order to change CMOS settings for flat panel support.
4. Connect the PSU and turn on the power to the PSU
Connect power supply to the board by the 6x2pin PWR connector. Note: the board is a single-supply board, accepting input voltages from 5V to 25V (DC). Power cables for connecting the KTUS15 family boards to a ATX power supply (+5V or +12V) are available from Kontron (P/N 1022-6309).
5. Power Button
The PWRBTN_IN may be required to start the board; this is done by momentarily connecting together pins 16 (PWRBTN_IN) and pin 18 (GND) on the FRONTPNL connector (see Connector description), to provide a pulse on the PWRBTN_IN pin. A “normally open” switch can be connected via the FRONTPNL connector.
6. BIOS Setup
Enter the BIOS setup by pressing the <Del> key during boot up. Refer to the “BIOS Configuration / Setup“ section of this manual for details on BIOS setup.
without power) for approximately 1 minute. This will also disable any Secure CMOS setup on the board. Alternatively, turn off power and remove the battery for 1 minute, but be careful to orientate the battery
7. Mounting the board to chassis
When fixing the Motherboard on a chassis it is recommended using screws with integrated washer and having diameter of ~7mm. Note: Do not use washers with teeth, as they can damage the PCB mounting hole and may cause short circuits.

3.6 KTUS15 Power

3.6.1 Power Budget

The KTUS15 has several outlets for supplying power to external devices. Each power rail is independent of other power rails, and the power budget for a single power rail can be shared among the interfaces that utilize it. The maximum load for each rail should however not be exceeded, hence it is not possible to apply full load to all external interfaces at the same time. The total power budgets for the individual rails are listed below. Power output pins for the interfaces can be found in chapter 4.
(*) Board Batch # 19000000 and previous revisions up to R19.
(**) Board Batch # from 20000000.

3.6.2 Power Consumption

The KTUS15/mITX board is powered through the PWR connector by a single supply DC voltage.
KTUS15/mITX 1.1GHz normal operation:
KTUS15/mITX 1.6GHz normal operation:
Power down mode: External load additional power consumption:
Notes:
The onboard PSU efficiency varies depending on actual load, input voltage and temperature. The above mentioned power consumptions are typical values and varies ~+/- 25% from system to system.

4.2 Power Connector (PWR)

The KTUS15 boards shall be supplied by a single supply DC voltage in the range 5-25V DC +/-5%.
The board will power on when the VIN voltage raises above 4.75V DC.
Notes:
The POWER_UP signal input (available on the FEATURE connector) can be used to externally control the power on of the board. The signal has a 100kOhm onboard pull-up to Vin. The positive threshold of the signal is ~1.5V DC with some hysteresis. Applying a resistor between POWER_UP and GND can make the board power up as a function of Vin. E.g. it can be used if a single voltage PSU is used and it has slow ramping power up or it can be used if voltage must be at a certain minimum level before Motherboard turns on in order not to overload the PSU until it is ready.
The PSUP_OFF signal (available on the FEATURE connector) is open collector output signal which can optionally be used as PSON input to an ATX PSU to keep it turned on until this signal gets inactive (Windows Shutdown etc.)
connector part can be cut of so that cable kit can be used for small batches as well.
1. 5A (max.) per wire is allowed.
2. Recommend using 12V input if 12V is already needed for devices like backlight inverter, HDD etc.
3. If 12V is not needed then 5V input will reduce power loss to a minimum.
4. Customised Power Cable kit is possible (MOQ is 500).

Note 1: The KTUS15 board supports single channel, 18/24bit OpenLDI/ SPWG panels on the LVDS
interface up to Wide XGA (1366x768 @ 85Hz) panel resolution. With an external 1-to-2 pixel per clock converter, LVDS panels up to 1280x1024 are supported.
Signal Description – LVDS Flat Panel Connector:
LCDVCC
Note 1: Windows API will be available to operate the BKLTCTL signal. Some Inverters have a limited voltage
range 0- 2.5V for this signal: If voltage is > 2.5V the Inverter might latch up. Some Inverters generates noise on the BKLTCTL signal, resulting in making the LVDS transmission failing (corrupted picture on the display). By adding a 1Kohm resistor in series with this signal, mounted in the Inverter end of the cable kit, the noise is limited and the picture is stable.
Note 2: If the Backlight Enable is required to be active high then, check the following BIOS Chipset setting:
Backlight Signal Inversion = Enabled.
The flat panel supply may be either 5V DC or 3.3V DC depending on the CMOS

4.7 Serial ATA Hard Disk interface

The KTUS15 boards includes an onboard SATA interface depending on the configuration (refer to section KTUS15/mITX Board configurations).
The SATA Host controller supports 2-port SATA II interface with data transfer rates of up to 3.0Gb/s (300MB/s). The SATA controller supports AHCI mode and has integrated RAID functionality with support for RAID modes 0 and 1.
The board provides two Serial ATA (SATA) connectors, which support one device per connector. A point-to-point interface is used for host to device connections, unlike Parallel ATA IDE which supports a master/slave configuration and two devices per channel.
The KTUS15 supports the following RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels:
RAID 0 - data striping
RAID 1 - data mirroring
Limitations depending on Target Operating System apply.

Description

4.8 Parallel ATA Hard Disk interface

The PATA Host Controller supports three types of data transfers:
Programmed I/O (PIO): Processor is in control of the data transfer.
Multi-word DMA (ATA-5): DMA protocol that resembles the DMA on the ISA bus. Allows transfer rates of
up to 66MB/s.
Ultra DMA: Synchronous DMA protocol that redefines signals on the PATA cable to allow both host and target throttling of data and transfer rates up to 100MB/s. Ultra DMA 100/66/33 are supported, a 80-wire cable is required.
One parallel ATA hard disk controller is available on the board – a primary controller. Standard 3½” hard disks or CD-ROM drives may be attached to the primary controller by means of the 40 pin IDC connector, PATA.
The parallel ATA hard disk controller is shared between the PATA connector and the CF connector.
If the CF connector is not used then two devices (a primary and a secondary device) are supported on the PATA interface. If the CF connector is used then only one PATA device is supported and only by use of 40-wire cable (not 80-wire cable). Optionally use SATA device(s).
The signals used for the hard disk interface are the following:
DAA2..0 Address lines, used to address the I/O registers in the IDE hard disk.
HDCSA1..0# Hard Disk Chip-Select. HDCS0# selects the primary hard disk.
DA15..8 High part of data bus.
DA7..0 Low part of data bus.
IORA# I/O Read.
IOWA# I/O Write.
IORDYA# This signal may be driven by the hard disk to extend the current I/O cycle.
RESETA# Reset signal to the hard disk.
HDIRQA Interrupt line from hard disk.
CBLIDA This input signal (CaBLe ID) is used to detect the type of attached cable: 80-wire cable
when low input, and 40-wire cable when 5V via 10Kohm (pull-up resistor).
DDREQA Disk DMA Request might be driven by the IDE hard disk to request bus master access to
the PCI bus. The signal is used in conjunction with the PCI bus master IDE function and is not associated with any PC-AT bus compatible DMA channel.
DDACKA# Disk DMA Acknowledge. Active low signal grants IDE bus master access to the PCI bus.
HDACTA# Signal from hard disk indicating hard disk activity. The signal level depends on the hard
disk type, normally active low. The signals from primary and secondary controller are routed together through diodes and passed to the connector FEATURE.
The pinout of the connectors is defined in the following sections.

SYSTEM PINS
Clock provides timing for all transactions on PCI and is an input to every PCI device. All other PCI signals,
timing parameters are defined with respect to this edge. PCI operates at 33MHz.
Reset is used to bring PCI-specific registers, sequencers, and signals to a consistent state. What effect
required to boot the system will respond after reset.

Initialization Device Select is used as a chip select during configuration read and write transactions.
Device Select, when actively driven, indicates the driving device has decoded its address as the target of the current access. As an input, DEVSEL# indicates whether any device on the bus has been selected.

Anytime RST# is asserted, all PCI output signals must be driven to their benign state. In general, this means they must be asynchronously tri-stated. SERR# (open drain) is floated. REQ# and GNT# must both be tri-stated (they cannot be driven low or high during reset). To prevent AD, C/BE#, and PAR signals from floating during reset, the central resource may drive these lines during reset (bus parking) but only to a logic low level–they may not be driven high. RST# may be asynchronous to CLK when asserted or deasserted. Although asynchronous, deassertion is guaranteed to be a clean, bounce-free edge. Except for configuration accesses, only devices that are
followed by one or more data phases. PCI supports both read and write bursts. The address phase is the clock cycle in which FRAME# is asserted. During the address phase AD[31::00] contain a physical address (32 bits). For I/O, this is a byte address; for configuration and memory, it is a DWORD address. During data phases AD[07::00] contain the least significant byte (lsb) and AD[31::24] contain the most significant byte (msb). Write data is stable and valid when IRDY# is asserted and read data is stable and valid when TRDY# is asserted. Data is transferred during those clocks where both

master has its own GNT# which must be ignored while RST# is asserted. While RST# is asserted, the arbiter must ignore all REQ# lines since they are tri-stated and do not contain a valid request. The arbiter can only perform arbitration after RST# is deasserted. A master must ignore its GNT# while RST# is asserted. REQ# and GNT# are tri-state signals due to power sequencing requirements when 3.3V or 5.0V only add-in boards are used with add-in boards that use a universal I/O
Cycle. The PERR# pin is sustained tri-state and must be driven active by the agent receiving data two clocks following the data when a data parity error is detected. The minimum duration of PERR# is one clock for each data phase that a data parity error is detected. (If sequential data phases each have a data parity error, the PERR# signal will be asserted for more than a single clock.) PERR# must be driven high for one clock before being tri-stated as with all sustained tri-state signals. There are no special conditions
a PERR# until it has claimed the access by asserting DEVSEL# (for a target) and completed a data phase
any other system error where the result will be catastrophic. If an agent does not want a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) to be generated, a different reporting mechanism is required. SERR# is pure open drain and is actively driven for a single PCI clock by the agent reporting the error. The assertion of SERR# is synchronous to the clock and meets the setup and hold times of all bused signals. However, the restoring of SERR# to the deasserted state is accomplished by a weak pullup (same value as used for s/t/s) which is provided by the system designer and not by the signaling agent or central resource. This pull-up may take two to three clock periods to fully restore SERR#. The agent that reports SERR#s to the operating
Interrupts on PCI are optional and defined as “level sensitive,” asserted low (negative true), using open drain output
attention from its device driver. Once the INTx# signal is asserted, it remains asserted until the device driver clears the pending request. When the request is cleared, the device deasserts its INTx# signal. PCI defines one interrupt line for a single function device and up to four interrupt lines for a multi-function device or connector. For a single function device,

Overview of BIOS Features

This section details specific BIOS features for the KTUS15 board. The KTUS15 board is based on the AMI BIOS core version 8.10 with Kontron BIOS extensions.

6.5 System Management BIOS (SMBIOS/DMI)

SMBIOS is a Desktop Management Interface (DMI) compliant method for managing computers in a managed network.
The main component of SMBIOS is the Management Information Format (MIF) database, which contains information about the computing system and its components. Using SMBIOS, a system administrator can obtain the system types, capabilities, operational status, and installation dates for system components.
The MIF database defines the data and provides the method for accessing this information. The BIOS enables applications such as third-party management software to use SMBIOS.
The BIOS stores and reports the following SMBIOS information:
• BIOS data, such as the BIOS revision level
• Fixed-system data, such as peripherals, serial numbers, and asset tags
• Resource data, such as memory size, cache size, and processor speed
• Dynamic data, such as event detection and error logging
Non-Plug and Play operating systems, such as Windows NT*, require an additional interface for obtaining the SMBIOS information. The BIOS supports an SMBIOS table interface for such operating systems. Using this support, an SMBIOS service-level application running on a non-Plug and Play operating system can obtain the SMBIOS information.

6.6 Legacy USB Support

Legacy USB support enables USB devices such as keyboards, mice, and hubs to be used even when the operating system’s USB drivers are not yet available. Legacy USB support is used to access the BIOS Setup program, and to install an operating system that supports USB. By default, Legacy USB support is set to Enabled.
Legacy USB support operates as follows:
1. When you apply power to the computer, legacy support is disabled.
2. POST begins.
3. Legacy USB support is enabled by the BIOS allowing you to use a USB keyboard to enter and
configure the BIOS Setup program and the maintenance menu.
4. POST completes.
5. The operating system loads. While the operating system is loading, USB keyboards and mice are
recognized and may be used to configure the operating system. (Keyboards and mice are not recognized during this period if Legacy USB support was set to Disabled in the BIOS Setup program.)
6. After the operating system loads the USB drivers, all legacy and non-legacy USB devices are
recognized by the operating system, and Legacy USB support from the BIOS is no longer used.
To install an operating system that supports USB, verify that Legacy USB support in the BIOS Setup program is set to Enabled and follow the operating system’s installation instructions.

7 BIOS Configuration/Setup

7.1 Introduction

The BIOS Setup is used to view and configure BIOS settings for the KTUS15 board. The BIOS Setup is accessed by pressing the DEL key after the Power-On Self-Test (POST) memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins. The Menu bar looks like this:
The available keys for the Menu screens are:
Select Menu: <←> or <→> Select Item: <↑> or <↓>
Select Field: <Tab> Change Field: <+> or <-> Help: <F1> Save and Exit: <F10> Exits the Menu: <Esc>
Please note that in the following the different BIOS Features will be described as having some options. These options will be selected automatically when loading either Failsafe Defaults or Optimal Defaults. The Default options will be indicated by the option in bold, but please notice that when Failsafe Defaults are loaded a few of the options, marked with “*”, are now the default option.
