D-sub 9 connector for MIC input and
HD Audio output (w/2 Watt) from
LEK-IOA6.
The 3G audio is provided by AUDIO
TLV320AIC1106 TSSOP20P (designed
by TI). It enables 3G wireless audio
communication with MIC-in and
EAR-out connectors. The 3G service is
connected via the external SIM (SIM2)
card reader (see R12 below) and the
MCARD1 PCIe connector.
In & 3 Digital-output, at 12V level.
The digital input helps triggering
between open and closed circuit such
as PIRs, door/window contact, glass
break detector. And the output can
connect to devices such as sirens.
In addition to the above Digital I/O
function, two IGN_in pins can be used
to wake up the system even when the
system is shut down.
External SIM Card Reader for 3G
wireless Internet service. The
system supports triple 3G Internet
service with three SIM card readers.
The SIM2 connector (left) together
with an internal PCIe expansion
(MCARD1) supports 3G SMS/Ring
wake-up and 3G voice service (with
the recommended 3G module: Sierra
MC8090/8092 (power voltage 3.6V)).
There is also a jumper setting for
selecting the connector’s voltage
from 3.3V or 3.6V.

The controller contains two modes of operation—a
legacy mode using I/O space, and an AHCI mode using
memory space. Software that uses legacy mode will not
have AHCI capabilities.
The AHCI ( Advanced Host Controller Interface) is a
programming interface which defines transactions
between the SATA controller and software and enables
advanced performance and usability with SATA. Platforms
supporting AHCI may take advantage of performance
features such as no master/slave designation for SATA
devices—each device is treated as a master—and
hardware assisted native command queuing. AHCI also
provides usability enhancements such as Hot-Plug.
Use the BIOS menu to configure your hard disk
to be AHCI compatible.

Power Good Detection1. : A power-good signal
from the main board will be sent to the ignition
controller so that the ignition controller can
decide or alter the power state upon the following
instances. (Refer to the flow chart in Chapter 4):
•
Power-on instance
Power-good signal turned-low instance•
Low Voltage Detection2. : Turn on this switch to
enable the automatic detection of low voltage
state of the battery. It will automatically turn
off the system when low voltage state has been
detected (Note: the low-voltage condition needs to remain 30 seconds continually). The voltage
level can be set in the Ignition System Manager
(ISM) which is provided by Lanner as a sample
code for functions on the power ignition module.
The default setting of this function: Shutdown
Voltage in the ISM is disabled. (Refer to the flow
chart in Chapter 4 and the Using the Ignition

Watchdog: 3. Enable this switch to enable shutdown
after watchdog timer count-down to zero. This is a
programmable function. If there is no program to
control and monitor the watchdog timer, set this

Using the Ignition System Manager (ISM)
For sample ISM code, see ISM folder under LVC-5570 Utility
on the Driver and Manual CD.
Running the Program
Just double click the ISM.exe to launch the ISM.
The program can configure the following values:
Voltage: It shows the current power system.
Power Input System: Select either 12V or 24V for vehicular
power input.
Startup Voltage (V): If the DC-in voltage is not higher
than this value, the system will not be able to start up.
Shutdown Voltage (V): If the DC-in voltage is lower than
the shutdown voltage, the system will start shutdown
process automatically. (Refer to selector 2 of SW1 dip
switch on the LEK-IG1 board)
Power-on Delay (min/sec): Select power-on delay value
to indicate the time to delay powering on the system.

Note:
You will have to enable (the default is enabled) 1.
the selector 2 (Low Voltage Detection) of SW1 dip switch on the LEK-IG1 to enable automatic

The system employs Analog Devices’s ADXL345 Digital
Accelerometer which is a small, thin, ultralow power, 3-axis
accelerometer with high resolution (13-bit) measurement
at up to ±16 g. It interfaces with the LVC-5570 through a

To access the G-Sensor data, use the following
instructions:
Make sure you already installed the Lanner GPIO driver on
your LVC-5570 as instructed in Appendix B.
To access the Gsensor data, locate the adxl345_v001 folder
and execute the executable file adxl345 and it will show G
value of 3 axes.

Programming Watchdog Timer
Appendix E:
Programming System
Watchdog Timer of the
LVC-5570
A watchdog timer is a piece of hardware that can be
used to automatically detect system anomalies and reset
the processor in case there are any problems. Generally
speaking, a watchdog timer is based on a counter that
counts down from an initial value to zero. The software
selects the counter’s initial value and periodically restarts
it. Should the counter reach zero before the software
restarts it, the software is presumed to be malfunctioning
and the processor’s reset signal is asserted. Thus, the
processor will be restarted as if a human operator had
cycled the power.
For sample watchdog code, see watchdog folder under
LVC-5570 Utility on the Driver and Manual CD
