Description
The Octagon MOBL-D2 is a 32-bit X86-class computer in a ruggedized enclosure. The
connectors and interfaces are located on an external panel for easy access.
The MOBL-D2 provides the following external interfaces: GPS, Wireless LAN (optional),
Wireless WAN (optional), and Bluetooth; each with front panel antenna connections. A
rugged Display connection is provided with audio output and a USB connection for devices
such as touch-screen controllers. Similar rugged connectors are also provided for
Communications (Serial & USB), Ethernet, and Digital I/O & CAN Bus as well as external
power. External power can range from 9 VDC to 36 VDC.
Internally the MOBL-D2 has a Compact Flash socket, a PCI-104interface, a Mini PCI socket
(Wireless LAN), and a Mini PCI Express socket (Wireless WAN). The MOBL-D2 can be used
in a stand-alone mode or expanded through the PCI-104, Mini PCI, or Mini PCI Express
interfaces.
MOBL-D2 major hardware features
The Vortex86MX processor has a clock speed of 800 MHz, integral graphics and memory
controller supplied with 1 GB of DDR2 SDRAM soldered to the CPU board.
An optional Compact Flash drive if ordered with the system is installed for fixed disk
storage.
A Fifty Channel GPS receiver offers location and timing information. The receiver supports
3.3V powered as well as passive antennas.
A Bluetooth interface is standard on the MOBL-D2, and is provided with an external
antenna connected to the front panel.
A rear panel USB port with tethered cover is provided for maintenance, diagnostics, updates,
or other temporary use without the need to disconnect front-panel dedicated cables to access
a USB port.
The case of the MOBL-D2 is integrally coupled to the major heat producing components,
which significantly reduces internal heating. No cooling fan is required.
Internal Functional Expansion
The PCI-104interface accepts industry-standard PCI-104boards. PCI-104expansion boards
are available from several manufacturers. The CPU card also incorporates a Mini PCI and a
Mini PCI Express slot for radios or other communication devices. The Mini PCI Express slot
supports only USB interface devices such as Wireless WAN cards, no PCI Express bus is
presented to the socket.
Robust Internal Power Supply
The MOBL-D2 accepts a DC input voltage which can be powered from fixed supplies, vehicle
batteries or train power systems. The internal power supply has a very robust front end,
exceeding the SAE J1113-11 and ISO 7637-2 specifications. It is also reverse polarity
protected. The input range is from 9 to 36 VDC.

MOBL-D2 major software features
AMIBIOS BIOS
The MOBL-D2 has an AMIBIOS BIOS optimized for the device and embedded installations.
Boot sequence
The MOBL-D2 can be configured to boot from Compact Flash, a network resource, or from a
USB device such as a floppy drive, hard drive, flash device, or a CD–ROM. A USB or network
boot allows software installation without opening the case.
Configuring and Ordering Your System
Hard Drive Options
The MOBL-D2 uses an optional Compact Flash device or external USB drive(s).
The internal Compact Flash socket looks like a hard drive to the system. This socket accepts
Type I or Type II Compact Flash devices. The Compact Flash feature is CF 3.0 compliant,
DMA capable, and supports true IDE mode. Octagon Systems only recommends industrial
grade, error-correcting Compact Flash of the quality available with the system.
Expansion Options
The MOBL-D2 can be used in a stand-alone mode or expanded through the Mini PCI, Mini
PCI Express (USB functions only) and PCI-104interfaces. Up to two PCI-104cards can be
added.
Operating Systems
Octagon Systems can preinstall some operating systems, including drivers for the standard
features such as digital I/O and COM ports. Octagon Systems has drivers for Windows XPe
and Linux for the standard MOBL-D2 features, as well as for Octagon System expansion
cards.

Installation
Recommended Installation Practices
CAUTION!
When replacing the back cover ensure the threads on the bolts are
properly aligned before tightening. Do not over tighten. Torque to 1.1 NM (10 in-lbs.) Failure to follow these precautions could strip the internal
threads.
The MOBL-D2 is designed to operate in difficult environments. Proper installation
will help ensure product longevity and adherence to the product standards.
1. The back endplate of the MOBL-D2 can be removed for access to the Compact
Flash. The bolts require a 4 mm hex wrench.
2. There are no internal repairable components. Field repair is not covered by
the Octagon warranty.
3. Do not over-tighten the antenna or GPS connectors.
4. The MOBL-D2 includes a standard vibration and shock dampening mounting
plate. The mounting plate must be secured to a surface with four bolts or
screws
5. The power supply cable should be as large a gauge and as short in length as
practicable.
6. The MOBL-D2 is protected against transient voltages common in mobile
applications. It is required that an external in-line fuse be used if a remote
power supply is used. This will prevent catastrophic damage from power
supply reversal and sustained over-voltage. A fast-actingfuse at 5A must be
used.
7. Proper ESD precautions and method must be followed when installing,
servicing, or otherwise handling the MOBL-D2.
8. The USB signals are USB 2.0 with a maximum cable length of 5M. Cables
with built-in repeaters are available commercially if a longer cable length is
required.
9. The MOBL-D2 is rated for 12V to 24V nominal, but accepts 9V to 36V.
10. The MOBL-D2 contains several switching regulators with an inrush
requirement of 10A. The external supply must be capable of supplying this
inrush current so as to not “starve” the startup of the internal supplies. If the
power supply is mounted remotely to the MOBL-D2, the wiring gauge must
be adjusted to prevent excessive drop during startup.
11. Contact Octagon Systems Technical Support for proper disassembly / access
to internal options & expansion.

Using the MOBL-D2
Power
The MOBL-D2 is rated for 12V to 24V nominal, but accepts 9V to 36V. The external power
cable must be at least 18 gauge. The Ignition Detect signal controls the power management
Suspend and Resume functions; this signal should be connected to the vehicle ignition, or
tied to VIN if unused.
Ethernet
The MOBL-D2 provides one 10/100Base-T Ethernet port. The port supports the IEEE 802.3
Ethernet standard. The Ethernet ports use PCI interrupts as assigned by the operating
system. Note that you must have the correct Ethernet driver installed to be able to use the
Ethernet port. The Ethernet driver is available on the Octagon Systems web site.
Audio
The MOBL-D2 provides a monaural line output, included in the display connector. The
default configuration is a line level (1V P-P) output.
GPS
The front panel contains a TNC GPS connector. The GPS receiver is a standard feature of
the MOBL-D2 system. The GPS is connected to the CPU through an internal USB interface.
The receiver supports industry standard NMEA messages, as well as the UBX packet
protocol. The protocol specifications are available from the Octagon Systems website.
ANT1, ANT2
There are 2 N antenna connectors provided for optional wireless communication modules.
Numerous communication formats are implemented with add-on card such as PCI-104, Mini
PCI. An internal cable connects the card to the appropriate external connector.
USB
The MOBL-D2 provides two USB 2.0 ports on the front panel- one in the Display connector,
and one in the Serial/USB connector. Additionally there is a third USB connector provided on
the rear panel of the MOBL-D2. This port includes a tethered cover or cap which must be
securely placed over the connector when not in use. This rear USB connector is NOT
DESIGNED FOR DEDICATED CONNECTION WHEN INSTALLED, but intended for
service, maintenance, or diagnostic functions. Peripherals can be connected and
disconnected while power is applied to the system. The system is capable of booting from
external USB storage devices and CD/DVD drives. NOTE: The MOBL-D2 cannot boot from
USB devices connected to the rear USB port.
Serial communication
The MOBL-D2 has three serial ports. COM1 and COM4 are 2-wire (plus ground) RS–232
interfaces. COM2 is not installed. COM 3 is a 2 wire RS–485 interface.
Note: COM port numbers used in this manual refer to the standard I/O base address
assignments as follow: COM1 = 0x3F8, COM3 = 0x3E8, COM4 = 0x2E8. COM2 is not used
in the MOBL-D2 hardware. Be aware that operating systems may assign port
www.octagonsystems.com Page 10 of 22
numbers in a different order, such as 1, 2, and 3. Identification of the hardware ports can
be done by checking the address of the I/O resource associated with each COM port by the
OS.
VGA
The VIDEO connector has standard VGA signals. Display resolution up to 1280x1024 is
supported.
Power Management
The MOBL-D2 system hardware and BIOS support APM power management functions.
The Ignition Detect signal on the Power connector controls the power management Power on
and Shutdown functions; this signal should be connected to the vehicle ignition. If not used,
the Ignition Detect signal must be tied to VIN to allow the system to start.
Operation when the ignition terminal is connected to vehicle ignition, or a “switched” power
source is as follows: The system will remain in “soft off” – a very low power state as long as
Ignition remains low. When Ignition is raised to VIN system startup is initiated, after a
short delay to ensure Power and Ignition are stable*. Disconnecting Ignition, or connecting
to ground will signal the operating system to shut down – however the system remains on,
drawing power from the VIN terminal until shutdown occurs and the system returns to soft
off. Failure of the operating system to shutdown in a reasonable time* will result in a forced
soft off state.
Shutting down the operating system while ignition is connected to power levels (high state)
will cause the system to enter a standby low power state indicated by a yellow power LED on
the front panel, and will remain as long as ignition is applied. Removal and reapplication of
voltage to the ignition lead will restart the system.
If ignition should be removed long enough to initiate shutdown, but returns before shutdown
of the operating system is complete, the system will automatically restart.
*The Ignition Minimum Time and Force Off Timeout are programmable with a configuration
utility available from Octagon Systems (contact tech support), however are initially set to 3
seconds and 180 seconds respectively by the factory.
Digital I/O
The MOBL-D2 provides one digital output. When activated, provides a ground for external
devices connected to the vehicle voltage. When inactive it appears as an open. The line can
withstand voltages up to 100V when in the off state and can sink 100 mA when active.
The output line will provide 1A peak repetitive for 50mS for driving incandescent lamps
switching on at a rate of one per second, at a 50% duty cycle with a 50mA lamp. The output
line has inductive load protection with a 1A, 100V diode.
The MOBL-D2 also provides four digital inputs. The inputs detect connection (current sink)
to ground. The input is inactive when open (less than 100µA), and active when connected to
ground (sinking at least 1mA). The digital lines are limited 10ma external current sink.
Note that drivers written by Octagon Systems indicate a binary value of 1 when the input is
open/inactive, and 0 when grounded.
www.octagonsystems.com Page 11 of 22
Status LEDs
The MOBL-D2 has 3 status LEDs:
LAN indicates LAN link (green) and activity (yellow).
STAT is a user controlled bi-color status LED. Accessing the LED registers is
accomplished through operating system drivers. Contact Octagon Systems for
driver availability and/or a Board Support Package for your Operating System.
PWR is a Power indicator, indicating On (Green) or Standby (Yellow) state of the
power supply.

Mini PCI
Mini PCI is a standard for integrated peripherals for use in applications such as sealed-case
PCs. Mini PCI is a small card that is functionally equivalent to a standard PCI expansion
card.
Mini PCI Express
Mini PCI Express is a standard for integrated peripherals, sometimes referred to as PCI
Express Mini-Card. The socket in the MOBL-D2 supports cards of this form-factor with USB
functions only (PCI Express is not available with the standard CPU). Octagon offers several
modules, such as GPRS or other Cellular communications devices which use this socket.
PCI-104
The PCI-104connector allows you to interface expansion modules such as A/D converters,
CardBus, wireless, serial ports, etc. Modules can be stacked to form a highly-integrated
control system. The MOBL-D2 has room for two PCI-104cards. The PCI-104expansion bus
supports mastering devices. The deviations from the PCI-104connector pin-out standards are
shown below. Cards used on the PCI-104stack are supplied with 5V only; -12V is not
supplied.
The PCI-104standard can be found at http://www.pc104.org/. Some MOBL-D2 signals and/or
signal names do not match the specifications. Those signals are shown below. The PCI104specified signal is listed first, and the MOBL-D2 signal follows.
