1 Introduction
This manual describes the pITX-E38 boards made by KONTRON Technology A/S. In this manual the boards
will also be denoted E38.
The E38 boards are based on Intel Atom E38xx SoC (System on Chip) “Intel Bay Trail” and will be available
in three versions. The three types of boards are listed in this table:
Feature pITX-E3815 pITX-E3826 pITX-E3845
Bay Trail SoC E3815 (1 core) E3826 (2cores) E3845 (4 cores)
Kontron PN 810602-4500 810601-4500 810600-4500
Core speed 1,46GHz 1,46GHz 1,91GHz
Cooling (integrated) Passive Passive Active
Battery module Included Included Included
Total Design Power 5W 7W 10W
Use of this Users Guide implies a basic knowledge of PC-AT hard- and software. This manual is focused on
describing the E38 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 the following chapter
before switching-on the power.
All configuration and setup of the CPU board is either done automatically or manually by the user via the
BIOS setup menus. Only exceptions are the “Clear CMOS” Jumper and the “Always On” jumper.
Latest revision of this manual, datasheet, BIOS, drivers, BSP’s (Board Support Packages), Mechanical
drawings (2D and 3D) can be downloaded from here:

pITX-E38 Users Guide
Warning: Turn off PSU (Power Supply Unit) completely (no mains power connected to the PSU) or
leave the Power Connectors unconnected while configuring the board. Otherwise components
!
Note: To clear all BIOS settings, including Password protection, activate “Clear CMOS Settings” Jumper
2 Installation Procedure
Installing the Board 2.1
To get the board running follow these steps. If the board shipped from KONTRON has already components
like RAM and CPU cooler mounted, then relevant steps below can be skipped.
1. Turn off the PSU (Power Supply Unit)
(RAM, LAN cards etc.) might get damaged. Make sure to use +5V single supply only. Alternatively
use a standard ATX PSU with suitable cable kit and PS_ON# active.
2. Insert the DDR3L SODIMM module
For a list of approved DDR3L SODIMMs contact your Distributor or FAE. See also chapter “System Memory
Support”.
3. Cooler Installation
Normally the cooler is premounted, but in case not, then make sure the heat paste etc. on the cooler is
intact and cover the full area of the SoC. Connect Cooler Fan electrically to the FAN_CPU connector.
4. Connecting Interfaces
Insert all external cables for hard disk, keyboard etc. A monitor must be connected in order to change
BIOS settings.
5. Connect and turn on PSU
Connect PSU to the board by the +5Vin-Internal connector or the +5Vin-External connector. Please note
that current limitations apply, see relevant connector description.
6. Power Button
If the board does not start by itself when switching on the ATX PSU AC mains, then follow these
instructions to start the board. Install the Always On Jumper in the Always On position or toggle the
PWRBTN_IN# signal (available in the FRONTPNL connector), by momentary shorting pins 2 (PWRBTN_IN#)
and pin 4 (GND). A “normally open” switch is recommended.
7. BIOS Setup
Enter the BIOS setup by pressing the <F2> key during boot up.
Enter “Exit Menu” and Load Setup Defaults.
Refer to the “BIOS Configuration / Setup“ section of this manual for details on BIOS setup. Please note
that BIOS may boot in UEFI shell, if so then type exit to activate BIOS menu and select Set-up.

reasonable care. A damaged component can result in malfunction or no function at all.
When fixing the Motherboard on a chassis it is recommended using screws with integrated washer and a
diameter of ⋲7mm. Do not use washers with teeth, as they can damage the PCB and cause short circuits.
Requirements IEC60950 2.2
Take care when designing chassis interface connectors in order to fulfil the IEC60950 standard.

The pITX-E38 has 1x DDR3L SODIMM 204 pin socket supporting single-channel unbuffered

Note: If using 32bit OS then less than 4GB in displayed in System Properties
(Shared Video Memory/PCI resources is subtracted, Windows 32b report 2.88GB free)
Kontron offers the following memory modules for support of the temperature range -25⁰C to 75⁰C:
P/N 1055-9445: 1GB DDR3L 1600 PC3L-12800
P/N 1055-9446: 2GB DDR3L 1600 PC3L-12800

P/N 1055-9448: 8GB DDR3L 1600 PC3L-12800
Kontron offers the following memory modules for support of the temperature range 0⁰C to 60⁰C:
P/N 1055-9939: 2GB DDR3L 1600 PC3L-12800
P/N 1055-9941: 4GB DDR3L 1600 PC3L-12800
P/N 1055-9942: 8GB DDR3L 1600 PC3L-12800
Memory modules have in general a much lower longevity than embedded motherboards, and therefor EOL
of modules can be expected several times during lifetime of the motherboard. Kontron guarantees that the
above P/N will be maintained so that EOL module will be replaced by other similar type of qualified module.
As a minimum it is recommend using Kontron memory modules for prototype system(s) in order to prove
stability of the system and as for reference.
For volume production you might request to test and qualify other types of RAM. In order to qualify RAM it
is recommend configuring 3 systems running RAM Stress Test program in heat chamber at 60⁰C or 75⁰C
(depending on the requested maximum temperature) for a minimum of 24 hours.

Ethernet Connector 6.2
The pITX-E38 support single channels of 10/100/1000Mb Ethernet based on Intel® Springville i210.
In order to achieve the specified performance of the Ethernet port, Category 5 twisted pair cables must be
used with 10/100MB and Category 5E, 6 or 6E with 1Gb LAN networks.
The signals for the Ethernet ports are as follows:
Signal Description
MDI[0]+ / MDI[0]-
In MDI mode, this is the first pair in 1000Base-T, i.e. the BI_DA+/- pair, and is the
transmit pair in 10Base-T and 100Base-TX.
In MDI crossover mode, this pair acts as the BI_DB+/- pair, and is the receive pair
in 10Base-T and 100Base-TX.
MDI[1]+ / MDI[1]-
In MDI mode, this is the second pair in 1000Base-T, i.e. the BI_DB+/- pair, and is
the receive pair in 10Base-T and 100Base-TX.
In MDI crossover mode, this pair acts as the BI_DA+/- pair, and is the transmit pair
in 10Base-T and 100Base-TX.
MDI[2]+ / MDI[2]-
In MDI mode, this is the third pair in 1000Base-T, i.e. the BI_DC+/- pair.
In MDI crossover mode, this pair acts as the BI_DD+/- pair.
MDI[3]+ / MDI[3]-
In MDI mode, this is the fourth pair in 1000Base-T, i.e. the BI_DD+/- pair.
In MDI crossover mode, this pair acts as the BI_DC+/- pair.
Note: MDI = Media Dependent Interface.

Warning: Hot Plugging power supply is not supported. Hot plugging might damage the board.
Notes: To protect the external power lines of peripheral devices make sure that
- the wires have the right diameter to withstand the maximum available current.
- to enclosure of the peripheral device fulfills the fire-protecting conditions of IEC/EN 60950.

LVDS Flat Panel Connector (LVDS) 7.1
The LVDS connector is based on 40 pole connector type Samtec SHF-120-01-F-D-SM-K-TR or similar.
Note: The LVDS connector supports single and dual channel, 18/24bit SPWG panels up to a resolution of
1600x1200 or 1920x1080 and with limited frame rate up to 1920x1200.
LCDVCC
sequencing depends on LVDS panel selection. (Shared with eDP connector)
Notes: 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, causing the LVDS transmission to fail (corrupted picture on
the display). By adding a 1Kohm resistor in series with this signal, mounted at the Inverter end of
the cable kit, the noise is limited and the picture is stable.
If the Backlight Enable is required to be active high then, check the following BIOS Chipset setting:
Backlight Signal Inversion = Enabled.
