Product Introduction

General Introduction

The Cortex vX-series supports 3rd Gen Intel® Core™ series processor (6M Cache, up to 3.30 GHz), DDR3L and DDR3 maximum dual channel 16GB ram, 3 independent display (DP, DVI-D, and VGA), isolated DIO, maximum 9 GbE LANs, CFast, two 2.5” SATA 6Gp/s HDD/ SSD trays, 4 COM, 4 USB 3.0 ports, JST connector, and 2 mini PCI-express. Additionally, overvoltage protection,

watchdog timer, and a Trusted Platform Module further expand the functionality of the Cortex Embedded Computer.

The Cortex is powered by a cutting-edge 3rd Gen Intel® Quad-Core™i7 Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.3 GHz). Ivy

Bridge increases power efficiency by as much as 25% and also integrates Intel's® HD 4000 graphics. An

extremely low thermal design power of 35W ensures enhanced reliability, safety and shock resistance for fanless operating environments.

Wi

th up to 9 GbE LANs, The Cortex vX-series provides

stable and speedy Ethernet at 9.6 kb/s to 1 Gb/s data transmission speeds while also supporting Ethernet Control Automation Technology (EtherCAT).

Th

e 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet LAN ports 1 and 2 use 8-pin RJ-45 connector. LAN1 is equipped with Intel 82579LM for AMT function. LAN2 is equipped with Intel 82574L. Using suitable RJ-45 cable, you can connect a Cortex vX system to a computer, or to any other piece of equipment that has an Ethernet connection. Both have Wake-on-LAN and Preboot Execution Environment capabilities. The following diagram shows the pinouts for LAN1 and LAN2 port.

The LED indicators on the right bottom corners glow a solid green color when the cable is properly connected to a 100 Mbps Ethernet network. The LED indicator on the left bottom corner will ash on and o when Ethernet packets are being transmitted or received. The LED indicators on the right bottom corners glow a solid orange color when the cable is properly connected to a 1000 Mbps Ethernet network.

Both

mSATA and Mini PCI-E share the same form-factor and similar electrical pinout assignments on their connectors. There was no clear mechanism to distinguish if a mSATA drive or a Mini PCI-E device is plugged into the socket until recently. The SATA-IO issued an ECN change (ECN #045) to re-define pin 43 on mSATA connector as “no connect” instead of “return current path” ( or GND).

When an mSATA drive is inserted, its pin 43 is “no connect”, and the respective pin on the socket is being pulled-up to logic 1. When a Mini PCI-E device is inserted, its pin 43 forces the respective pin on the socket to ground, or logic 0.

Cortex vX series is

using the Pin 43 status for

switching between a mSATA drive and mini PCI-e device.

©Rugged Science Cortex vX Embedded System Series User Manual

You may configure your card to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an electric circuit. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a jumper, you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you would connect either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3.

The GPIO& WDT are using internal Super IO functions. However, you must enter super I/O configuration mode to set it. The output port is set as GPIO 1 on CN13 , reg. index = 0x60 The input port is set as GPIO 4 on CN12 , reg. index = 0x62.

Super I/O special address port = 0x2E

Super I/O special data port = 0x2F

GPIO Logical device is 0x07

//write twice 0x87 value.

outportb(Super I/O special address port, 0x87); outportb(Super I/O special address port, 0x01); outportb(Super I/O special address port, 0x55); outportb(Super I/O special address port, 0x55);

//write 0x07 on Reg [0x07] , this setup must follow Step A. that can be workable.

outportb(Super I/O special address port, 0x07); outportb(Super I/O special data port, 0x07);

Base control for write Super I/O register.

outportb(special address port, Register Index.); outportb(special data port, update_value);

Base control for read Super I/O register

outportb(special address port, Register Index.); inportb(special data port); //It will return a BYTE value.

Please refer to source code for set_data() and get_data() function.

Write data to GPO(output) port

set_data( Register Index , update_value);

example : unsigned char data = 0x82; set_data( 0xE5 , data); //Set bit 7 & bit 1 of GPO output port as High level ,another bit is Low

Please refer to source code for set_data() and get_data() function.

Read data to GPI(input) port

get_data( Register Index ) //It will return a BYTE value. example : unsigned char data get_data( 0xF1 , data); //Get GPI(input) port status on input_data variable.

Refer to GPIO setting of Step A and B. , located Logical 0x08 for WDT function.

Reg [0x30] is WatchDog ON/OFF control.

WatchDog On : set_data( 0x30 , 0x01); WatchDog O : set_data( 0x30 , 0x00);

Reg [0xF0] is WatchDog timer - counterON/OFF control.

WatchDog counter start : set_data( 0xF0 , 0x02); WatchDog counter start : set_data( 0xF0 , 0x00);

Reg [0xF1] is WatchDog time-out value, "Reading" this register returns the current value in the Watch Dog Counter, not the Watch Dog Timer Time-out value..

WatchDog time-out value : set_data( 0xF1 , );
