The Kontron TRACe-TR features a wide range power supply (from 24 VDC to 110 VDC). Its front plate is dedicated to the
operational connectors (Ethernet, serial ports, audio, digital inputs and outputs) whereas the rear plate hosts
maintenance connectors (DisplayPort, USB, serial, Ethernet). On this plate, a reserved area with 3 pre-holes allows the
routing of Mini PCI-Express cards I/O signals (GSM/GPRS/3G/LTE/4G, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth).
Kontron TRACe-TR extensible and modular design allows custom configuration. On operational front plate, an option
plate is available for additional interfaces (MVB, CAN Layer2, CAN Open, Profibus…). TRACe-TR has been designed to
support a comprehensive health management capability, thanks to sensors and a microcontroller for system health
monitoring. The integrated Health Management Unit (HMU) monitors boards and inbox ambient temperature, voltages,
current and even manages Vital Product Data (P/N, S/N, E.C. Level,…) of main components.
Health Management by Kontron covers all the vital resources of the TRACe-TR Family to report, log, and transmit any
out of specs parameters and/or any failures at power-on and during operations of TRACe-TR Family.

The connector 4 is an RJ-12 connector on which two serial lines are available (processor + HMU).
You can get the compatible cable by purchasing our Cable Kit: TRACE-KIT-CAB-EVAL. You can plug
an RJ-11 cable in this RJ-12 connector to get the processor serial line (TX,RX,GND). If you use an
RJ-12 cable, make sure your cabling does not handle the pins allocated to the HMU serial line as
flow control signals for the processor serial line to prevent conflitcts with the HMU.
If the HMU serial line is not needed and a custom RJ-12 cable is used, it is recommended to leave
the HMU serial line pins unconnected.

ChassisSHLDChassis ground (Shield)
To power-on the system, you need a power cable with M12 Connector Female 4 Pin A-Coded in one end to fit the DC IN
connector.
The power cable is included in TRACE-KIT-CAB-EVAL cable kit to be purchased separately.
According to the above pinout, free ends of this cable must be wired as follows (refer to section 2.7.1 page 47):
4 Brown:+VDC
4 White: -VDC
4 Blue: IGN (+VDC to Power On)
IGN can be directly connected to VDC to have the system always on when VDC is applied, or connected to VDC through a
switch to power the system on/off with VDC kept applied.
A power off controlled by the IGN signal has the same impact than removing VDC: all PSUs are switched off including
standby power supplies. However using IGN to power on/off is recommended because this enables some extra
features such as an automatic system shutdown with a delayed power-off when the IGN signal is disabled, or a system
wakeup from sleep by toggling the IGN signal.
Even if IGN is expected to be connected to VDC, it can be alternatively connected to another vol
tage source with same GND(POWER IN-) and a voltage in the same range than the one required
for VDC.
VDC and IGN voltage range to GND: 24 VDC-110 VDC nominal (16.8 VDC min – 137.5 VDC max).
Current on IGN for all IGN voltage range: around 4 mA

Table 7: COM B, COM C Connectors Pin Configuration
Two naming conventions are used for RS-422/RS-485 differential signals, they match each other
as follows : TX+ = Y, TX- = Z, RX+ = A, RX- = B
The serial mode and duplex can be set using the trace_config tool (refer to 2.8.2 “Play/TRACe Configuration” page
50).
When in 422/485 mode, the RTS signal from the UART is no more available on the connectors but is used as a "
TX
enable" (transmit enable): when RTS is high (logic 1 driven by UART), TX is enabled. TX is disabled by switching RTS low
(under Linux OS, RTS can be managed by the
TX enabled, when the TIOCM_RTS bit is cleared)
On TRACe-TR Family , there is no difference between the RS-422 and RS-485 modes. The hardware is configured the
same way in both modes and trace_config only has these options:
4 "
--serial 232": RS-232 mode on COM-B/COM-C serial lines, or
--serial 485": RS-422/485 mode on COM-B/COM-C serial lines
4 "
The RS-422 mode is made with a RS-485 mode having the RTS signal left at level 1. It must be set to this level by
software to have functional RS-422 interfaces.
COM-B is muxed between UART (default) and HMU (can be selected by the trace_config tool).
When in HMU mode, transmit is always enabled (RTS always at 1) so only RS-232 and RS-422 are supported.
See COM-A for HMU serial line routing to COM-A or COM-B
TIOCMGET/TIOCMSET IOCTL, using the TIOCM_RTS flag: level 1 on RTS, so
24 VISO DC voltage (8 VDC min - 29 VDC max) must be applied to pin 21 to power the isolated GPIO logic.
GPIO_OUT[n] are open-collector outputs, enabled (driven low to GND_GPIO_ISO) when a logic 1 is written from
software. Each output can sink up to 20 mA. Maximum voltage on GPIO_OUT[n] (to GND_GPIO_ISO) is 29VDC.
GPIO_IN[n] are inputs that are read at 1 from software when at logic level high (24V logic).
Maximum voltage on GPIO_IN[n] (to GND_GPIO_ISO) is 29 VDC.
These inputs have an hysteresis (around 1V); level high is above 17V; level 0 under 16V.
GPIO_OUT[n] and GPIO_IN[n] can have a voltage greater than 24 VISO provided than this voltage does not exceed 29
VDC.
HMU serial line on COM-A (default) can be routed to COM-B instead (can be selected by the trace_config tool -refer
to 2.8.2 “Play/TRACe Configuration” page 50-).

4 To start the system
4 Power on the DC power supply module via DC IN connector (section 2.4 “I/O Connectors Pinout” page32) and
then turn on the ignition key. As long as the ignition signal is not connected to the +POWER IN (power supply
connector pin 1) the system cannot start (refer to Figure 27 - Ignition Implementation page35).
4 A Linux login prompt should appear shortly.
The system can also be configured to stay off when ignition signal is switched on, and start on
assertion of GPIO_IN[0] or GPIO_IN[1] (configurable using trace_config -refer to 2.8.2 “Play/TRACe
Configuration” page 50-) or on HMU request
In this case, when waiting to start, the Power status LED is flashing twice every 2 seconds.
4 To stop the system
4 Manual method (Default):
Shutdown the OS: with the shutdown menu in graphical session, or using the «halt-p» command from
a Linux terminal.
When the shutdown is completed (Power status LED is flashing once every 2 seconds), you can either:
4 switch off the Igniton key (IGN signal on the DC IN connector), then optionally remove the power (+VDC on the
DC IN connector).
4 or directly remove the power, if you don't have the Ignition key or don't want to use it.
4 Automatic method:
Just switch off the ignition signal: this automatically performs a shutdown, and once the shutdown is
completed, a power-off. After that you can optionally remove the power (+VDC on the DC IN
connector).
This requires the trace-poweroffd daemon to be running. You can tell systemd to start it at boot time as
follows:
systemctl enable trace-poweroffd
and start it right now without rebooting:
systemctl start trace-poweroffd
4 Suspend the system
Suspend the OS: with suspend menu in graphical session, or "systemctl suspend" in a Linux terminal (as root).
The Power status LED is flashing once every 2 second.
To resume, the following methods are supported :
4 Switch the ignition signal off and on fastly (less than 750mS).
4 Send a Wake-On-Lan Ethernet packet to the system on LAN-B or LAN-C interfaces
4 Assertion of a GPIO_IN[0] or GPIO_IN[1] (configurable using trace_config)
4 Reset switch on maintenance side
4 HMU request (not implemented)

3 /Deploying TRACe-TR
3.1Mechanical Structure
The TRACe-TR Family housing is base on a profile aluminum box with connectors for external interfacing including a
case ground point.
As far as ingress protection is concerned, the profile aluminum box is certified to IP code: IP50, standard. It provides
protection against finger intrusion.
The TRACe-TR Family is designed for ambient air convection cooling. As the unit does not have a fan for forced air
cooling, integrators must verify the application cooling design prior to integration in an application.
The case ground point as indicated by the ground symbol on the back side of the TRACe-TR Family is a threaded blind
nut which accepts an M4 screw or bolt for attaching external ground cabling to the TRACe-TR Family. Maximum
permissible ingress of a screw into the blind nut is 8 mm. See section 3.2.8 ”Grounding Concept” page 65 for further
information regarding system grounding.

3.2Installing
3.2.1Mounting Pre-requisites
Because the mounting position may impact thermal and mechanics properties, the TRACe-TR system shall be integ
rated according to the following recommendations:
These mounting recommendations are applicable for the whole TRACe-TR Family.
In normal condition of use, the EUT will be mounted by its lateral mounting brackets (one on each side). The system
shall be attached to the cabinet with four M5 screws (of 16 mm minimum length, assembled with adapted washers, ISO
7089 series recommended). The torque will depend on the support material (under customer responsability).

TRACe-TR Family User's Manual - SD.DT.G45.7e
3.2.8Grounding Point Cabling
As the operational grounding concept of the TRACe-TR calls for a ground point connection of the chassis to external
ground, there must always be a ground connection to the chassis.
This is accomplished via an M4 stud with an external ground wire attached installed on the operational plate. Refer to
the figure below for an example of assembly details.
Figure 50: Assembly of the Grounding Point Connection
Screw the M4 nut with the recommended torque: 1N.m +/-0.1.
4 Grounding Concept
Externally the TRACe-TR is grounded via an M4 screw terminal point. From this terminal point a grounding wire must be
connected to the vehicle’s chassis or a central grounding point.

4.1.4.2Windows
Refer to “Windows 7 and WES7 SP1 64-bit BSP" Release Notes - SD.DT.G58.
4.1.5Recommendations
4 Intel® TXE Support
The Intel Trusted Execution Engine is disabled by default in standard BIOS MVV1R1xx revisions. This feature is only
available by a customized BIOS version due to export controlled encryption functionality.
4 Chipset PCIe Configuration
PCI Express is configured to 4 times x1 by default. 1x2, 2x2 or 1x4 configurations are available via custom BIOS only.
4 USB xHCI Configuration
4 xHCI should be set to “Smart Auto” for Windows 7 and “Enabled” for Windows 8.
4 xHCI must be set to “
(Port#6 and Port#7 respectively).
4 USB Ports from HSIC Hub, Maintenance USB_A (port#5), MiniPCIe Card Socket#0 and #1 (Port#6 and Port#7
respectively), are only supported with xHCI enabled and USB 3.0 support in OS
Enabled” to allow USB Boot on Maintenance USB_A (port#5), MiniPCIe Card Socket#0 and #1
4 BIOS on Serial Line
By default the BIOS console does not show up on COM A or COM B. To have the BIOS accessible on serial line the SETUP
option "
However enabling this option will strongly slow down the Graphical BIOS access. This is a BIOS limitation on TRACe-TR
Family. So this option must be set only if graphical BIOS access is not used. Also the serial line speed must be set to
115200 to access the BIOS SETUP by serial line and to avoid to considerably slow down a verbose Linux boot.
Console redirection" in MAIN menu must be enabled on COM A or COM B.

TRACe-TR Family User's Manual - SD.DT.G45.7e
4 Enabling SATA on the J2201 internal connector or the miniPCIE slot #1
The SATA bus available on the J2201 connector is shared with the miniPCIE slot #1.
For an initial OS installation to a disk connected to one of these locations, it is necessary to switch the SATA bus under
UEFI shell before running the installation process.
This can be done in a volatile way (setting is lost at next power-cycle) as follows:
To set SATA on J2201 :
Shell> mm -io 803 04
Shell> reset
To set SATA on miniPCIE slot #1 :
Shell> mm -io 803 00
Shell> reset
The values 04 and 00 above will also set the trace_config settings "serial", " tpm", " poweron",
"
dport", and "sim" to their default values. If this is not suitable, read the current settings with "mm
-io -n 803" and use the current byte value with only bit 2 modified.
A non-volatile method (setting saved in EEPROM and loaded at each power-on) can be used instead but is less easy.
See Appendix B page 83.
4.1.6BIOS Known Restrictions
Problems related to the BIOS of COMe-mBT10 module:
4 All BIOS( MVV1R113, MVV1R16158, MVV1R16194):
4 CPU temperature sensor (sensor Nr 0) shows 0 after Sleep mode. Workaround is to write 0x4d to NCT7802 on
4 No support for ACPI Thermal Control (passive/critical Trip point).
4 GPIO does not work correctly after Sleep mode (All directions set to INPUT, levels do not change).
4 Wake On Lan feature is not supported on LAN A.
4 MiniPCI board support under Windows: This BIOS does not program the base address registers of BayTrail SOC
PCIe root port slot #0 and #1. In this way, some miniPCIexpress device card are not supported under Windows.
OS on PCIe slot #0 and slot#1. This limitation applies only for mPCIe cards using PCIe interface (example: Wi-Fi
mPCIe); it does not apply for cards using a USB interface (example: LTE & GPS mPCIe).
Consequence on TRACe-M304-TR using 2 PCIexpress Card (MVB and Wi-Fi): Wi-Fi will not work under Windows
with this BIOS .
4 DMI Table Information not filled after SETUP Discard Change & Exit option. Be sure to reset the board after
consulting the SETUP for example with <Ctrl-Alt-Del> key combinaison. If DMI table information are not filled then
trouble can occur under operating system.
4 BIOS MVV1R16158 only:
4 Sleep mode S3 not supported under Windows with this BIOS (corrected in following BIOS MVV1R16194): while
Hibernate mode S4 is supported the sleep mode is not supported without a workaround which is to stop the CPLD
watchdog as soon as possible.
4 Accessing Nuvoton HW monitor NCT7802Y temperatures and voltages sensors fails with this BIOS under Windows
(corrected in following BIOS MVV1R16194)

TRACe-TR Family User's Manual - SD.DT.G45.7e
4.2CPLD
4.2.1cPLD Update
The update can be done under Linux using the trace_cpld_update tool and a JEDEC file (.jed).
The update takes 3 seconds. Do not power-off while updating !
Then power-cycle the system to start on the new cPLD version.
For example, as root user:
The saved settings configured by the trace_config tool are loaded by the cPLD at power-on from a non volatile
memory. However, if these settings are changed and set to a value not suitable for the system, it may not be possible to
run
trace_config again to recover.
In this case the system must be started in debug mode by pressing the RESET switch on maintenance plate while
powering on (VDC applied and IGN on), then by releasing the switch as soon some LEDs are switched on. In this mode,
the saved settings are not loaded and the system is started in default configuration.
The Power status LED (front plate) and L5 (maintenance plate) are blinking green twice a second (2 Hz).
On maintenance plate, L1 should be red and L2 green to indicate that the system is in the running state (all PSUs started
OK and reset released)
Then trace_config can be run again to fix the configuration.
To restore saved settings to defaults in one command:
[root@trace-board ~]# trace_config -r
When done, just power-cycle.
4.3HMU Firmware Update
Refer to "Linux for TRACe-TR Family Release Notes" - SD.DT.G60.
4.4Linux Operating System
You can update or even upgrade to a newer version of your Linux operating system.
Keep in mind that each time you will update the kernel version, you will have to compile the TRACe BSP modules. Refer
to chapter 2.11 “Linux” page 59.

TRACe-TR Family User's Manual - SD.DT.G45.7e
5.2.1Overview
The HMU implemented in a Microchip PIC32 microcontroller provides the following management facilities:
4 Inventory: Vital Product Data of the TRACe-TR Family machine.
4 Supervision: monitoring of thermal sensors, voltage sensors, health status of internal interfaces (I2C bus, devices,
log events, …).
4 Control Management: This feature will be implemented later.
All alarm/alert events are backuped in EEPROM area. The log area is a cyclic pool of 256 events. Each event has a
64-byte length including date stamp.
Currently the HMU interface is provided on Serial port RJ-12 on the Maintenance side.
Parameters for this serial line interface are: 9600 bauds, 8-bit, No Parity, No flow Control.

5.2.2.3Control Management
Power Management, Reset Management: to be defined later according to a predefined policy.
5.2.2.4 Alarm Management
When a monitored event (thermal, voltage, current, interface health …) is out of its limits or in default, an interrupt
(IRQ10) is generated towards the COMe board via the CPLD.
This interrupt must be handled on COMe board.
For example under Linux:
4 Wait on event (blocking command) is performed by:
TRACe Linux BSS Live Image already contains by default the necessary drivers for Wi-Fi and LTE / GNSS.
Useful utilities / packages are located under
Updated drivers / firmwares / manuals can be downloaded on module's suppliers web pages.
/opt/TRACe-BSP/ (TRACe BSS Live Image).
4 Windows
Windows drivers / firmwares / manuals for Wi-Fi / 4G/GNSS or MVB must be downloaded on our suppliers web
pages.
Kontron will provides first level support, however advanced use of these functionalities must be done in accordance to
module’s supplier specifications.

Appendix B - Non-Volatile Method for SATA Selection
The SATA bus available on the J2201 connector is shared with the miniPCIE slot #1.
For an initial OS installation to a disk connected to one of these locations, it is necessary to switch the SATA bus under
UEFI shell before running the installation process.
An easy volatile method (setting is lost at next power-cycle) is explained at section 4.1 “BIOS” page 68
Non-volatile method (setting saved in EEPROM and loaded at each power-on):
Copy the following trace_sata.nsh script to a USB stick (FAT32 format):
# Usage : trace_sata.nsh [mini1]
# Switch SATA to the J2201 connector, or to the
# mini socket #1 if ”mini1” is supplied as parameter
@echo -off
# enable I2C interface
mm 812 1 ;io :80
# send start and address 0x57 (EEPROM) for writing
mm 813 1 ;io :ae
mm 814 1 ;io :80
# send offset 0x100
mm 813 1 ;io :01
mm 814 1 ;io :10
mm 813 1 ;io :00
mm 814 1 ;io :10
# send data to write for SATA option
if %1% == ”mini1” then
echo ”SATA routed to the mini socket #1”
mm 813 1 ;io :00
else
echo ”SATA routed to the J2201 connector”
mm 813 1 ;io :04
endif
mm 814 1 ;io :10
# send STOP
mm 814 1 ;io :40
Under EFI shell, plug the USB stick.
Then run these commands:
Shell> map -r
Shell> fs1:
and then:
fs1:\> trace_sata.nsh
SATA routed to the J2201 connector
or
fs1:\> trace_sata.nsh mini1
SATA routed to the mini socket
www.kontron.com // 83
Then power-cycle to get the new setting.
TRACe-TR Family User's Manual - SD.DT.G45.7e
This script also sets the
their default values (so edit it if needed).
To check the current setting:
trace_config settings "serial", " tpm", " poweron", " dport", and "sim" to
Shell> mm -io -n 803
If the returned value has bit 2 set (0x04 for example), the SATA is routed to J2201.
Otherwise (0x00 for example), the SATA is routed to the mini socket #1
