Product Overview

Page 12
The VIA EITX-3000 is a high performance single board computer (SBC) with low power requirements based on the Embedded ITX (Em-ITX) form factor. Its low power requirements are made possible by its usage of energy efficient VIA CPUs (either VIA Nano™ or Eden™ ULV).
The EITX-3000 is designed for ultra-thin embedded applications and can withstand temperatures ranging from -10° up to 70°C. The powerful VIA Nano processor and VIA VX800 media system processor are placed on the bottom side of the board, enabling an efficient space-saving design that easily accommodates quiet and passive cooling thermal solutions.
The EITX-3000 includes an onboard DC-to-DC converter that supports both AT and ATX power modes. The power converter can support a wide range of power input voltage from DC 7V to DC 30V and can be configured through an onboard switch.
With generous support for multiple display options, the EITX-3000 is ideally suited for high-end multimedia applications including POS, kiosks, ATM, HMI, factory automation, POI, and digital signage. The dual I/O coastline design of the EITX-3000 provides ample space for multiple ports such as two LVDS ports, one VGA port, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, two USB 2.0 ports, two RS-232 COM ports, and two RS-232/422/485 configurable COM ports.

Onboard Jumpers
37
Page 48
The EITX-3000 mainboard provides jumpers for setting some mainboard functions. This section will explain how to change the settings of the mainboard functions using the jumpers.
CLEAR_CMOS: CLEAR CMOS JUMPER
The onboard CMOS RAM stores system configuration data and has an onboard battery power supply. To reset the CMOS settings, set the jumper on pin 2 and 3 while the system is off. Return the jumper to pin 1 and 2 afterwards. Setting the jumper while the system is on will damage the mainboard.
Setting 1 2 3
Normal Operation (default) ON ON OFF Clear CMOS setting OFF ON ON
Caution: Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the CLEAR_CMOS jumper cap from the default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure. Avoid clearing the CMOS while the system is on; it will damage the mainboard.

AT/ATX POWER MODE SELECT
The EITX-3000 supports two kinds of power modes: ATX (default) and AT. The ATX mode requires a standby power connection and a power supply on signal to turn on the main power supply. The AT mode does not require a standby power connection but needs to be connected to ground to boot up properly. The power mode can be set by changing the jumper position on the 5-pin AT/ATX pin header. Default setup support ATX mode.
Setting 1 2 3 4 5
AT mode ON ON OFF OFF OFF ATX mode (default) OFF ON ON OFF OFF Reserved pin for external ATX power On/Off control

POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP
ACPI Suspend Type
Settings Description
S1(POS) S1/Power On Suspend (POS) is a low power state. In this
state, no system context (CPU or chipset) is lost and hardware maintains all system contexts.
S3(STR) S3/Suspend To RAM (STR) is a power-down state. In this
state, power is supplied only to essential components such as main memory and wakeup-capable devices. The system context is saved to main memory, and context is restored from the memory when a "wakeup" event occurs.
S1 & S3 Depends on the OS to select S1 or S3.

LOAD OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS
This option is for restoring all the default optimized BIOS settings. The default optimized values are set by the mainboard manufacturer to provide a stable system with optimized performance.
Entering “Y” and press <Enter> to load the default optimized BIOS values. Entering ”N” will cancel the load optimized defaults request.

SET SUPERVISOR/USER PASSWORD
This option is for setting a password for entering BIOS Setup. When a password has been set, a password prompt will be displayed whenever BIOS Setup is run. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your system configuration.
There are two types of passwords you can set. A supervisor password and a user password. When a supervisor password is used, the BIOS Setup program can be accessed and the BIOS settings can be changed. When a user password is used, the BIOS Setup program can be accessed but the BIOS settings cannot be changed.
To set the password, type the password (up to eight characters in length) and press <Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previously set password from CMOS memory. The new password will need to be reentered to be confirmed. To cancel the process press <Esc>.
To disable the password, press <Enter> when prompted to enter a new password. A message will show up to confirm disabling the password. To cancel the process press <Esc>.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, the BIOS can be set to request the password each time the system is booted. This would prevent unauthorized use of the system. See “Security Option” in the “Advanced BIOS Features” section for more details.

DRIVER UTILITIES
Getting Started
The EITX-3000 includes a driver CD that contains the drivers and software for enhancing the performance of the system. The drivers can also be downloaded from http://www.via.com.tw
Note: The driver utilities and software are updated from time to time. The latest updated versions are available at
http://www.via.com.tw
Running the Driver Utilities CD
To start using the CD, insert the CD into the CD-ROM or DVD­ROM drive. The CD should run automatically after closing the CD­ROM or DVD-ROM drive. The driver utilities and software menu screen should then appear on the screen. If the CD does not run automatically, click on the “Start” button and select “Run…” Then type: "D:\Setup.exe".
For Linux drivers, click the right button on mouse and click open. Linux drivers are located in the "Driver" folder.
.
Note: D: might not be the drive letter of the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM in your system.

INTRODUCTION
The Flexible Embedded Board with Em-IO Expansion
For embedded system developers, flexibility in I/O configurations is necessary in order to meet diverse embedded applications. It is important for developers to reduce development costs, risks, and time. The EITX-3000 is an Em-ITX form factor single board computer that enables developers to design a system with solid performance and comprehensive I/O’s using its onboard Em-IO expansion bus. The Em-IO expansion bus makes the system design more flexible to easily extend functionality. In case a new or different I/O is needed for a new application to meet time to market, the standard platform based on Em-ITX form factor can be stacked with an alternative Em-IO expansion module. This can greatly reduce development costs and accelerate the product design cycle.

Modularized Expansion of Em-IO Interface
The Em-IO interface connector is an open bus interface initiated by VIA at the end of 2008. The Em-IO integrates popular bus signals, including USB2.0, GPIO, LPC, PCI Express, VIA Digital Video Port interface Signals, ACPI 3.0 and 3.3V/5V/12V DC Power Signals. The Em-IO interface connector enables Em-IO expansion modules to be attached to Em-ITX form factor board to further reduces troublesome cabling issues that are usually encountered when designing systems.
Stacking the Em-IO Module to Em-ITX Mainboard
Step 1 Align the Em-IO connector of the expansion module with the Em­IO connector of the mainboard.
Step 2 Insert the connector then press the board firmly.
