2 Introduction

Introduction

2.1

ETX®-CD

Based on the ETX® standard, Kontron’s ETX®-CD, powered by a variety of Intel Pentium core duo

processors, is a next-generation embedded module that brings advanced technology to tomorrow’s

applications, as well as continuing today’s legacy devices. Built around serial differential signaling

technologies, ETX®-CD modules incorporate the following interfaces into a 95 x 114 small form factor

embedded module:

Core2Duo® (L7400) / Core Duo® (L2400 LV) / Core Solo® / Celeron® M (CM 423)

PCI

2x Serial ATA (SATA)

1x Parallel ATA (IDE)

USB

2x Serial Port (COM)

1x Parallel Port (LPT) shared with Floppy

LVDS, SDVO, VGA

10/100 MB Ethernet

ISA bus

Audio

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)

The ETX®-CD is built around the Intel Core Duo processors that use the Yonah and Merom Core and the

Mobile Intel 945GME Express chipset, which is the first mobile platform to offer PCI Express functionality

with extended life cycle support. These modules feature the most current desktop features such as USB,

SATA, and PCI buses.

The ETX®-CD delivers up to 2GHz performance and up to 2GB DDR2 RAM. For applications that require

advanced real-time video capabilities, the ETX®-CD has integrated graphics based on the Intel®

Graphics Media Accelerator 900 architecture.

The ETX®-CD supports 4 PCI 32-bit PCI devices. A 10/100 megabits per second Ethernet port provides

fast connectivity to LAN/WAN and 4x USB interface provides fast and sufficient interfaces for external

peripherals.

ETX®-CD modules also provide the following interfaces that are always located in the same physical

position on each board:

PCI32, USB, serial ATA (SATA), parallel ATA (PATA), LVDS Multi Media ports, as well as an ACPI (Advanced

Configuration and Power Interface) for optimized power management are available on the board. Six

mounting holes on the board provide secure mounting to allow the module increased shock and

vibration resistance.

2 Introduction

2.2

ETX® Documentation

This product manual serves as one of three principal references for an ETX® design. It documents the

specifications and features of ETX®-CD. The other two references, which are available from the Kontron

Embedded Modules Web site, include:

The ETX® Specification defines the ETX® module form factor, pinout, and signals.

The ETX® Design Guide serves as a general guide for baseboard design, with a focus

on maximum flexibility to accommodate a wide range of ETX® modules.

Note: Some of the information contained within this product manual applies only to certain product revisions (CE:

xxx). If certain information applies to specific product revisions (CE: xxx) it will be stated. Please check the

product revision of your module to see if this information is applicable.

2.3

ETX® Benefits

Embedded technology extended (ETX) modules are very compact (114 x 95 mm), highly integrated

computers. All ETX® modules feature a standardized form factor and a standardized connector layout

that carry a specified set of signals. This standardization allows designers to create a single-system

baseboard that can accept present and future ETX® modules.

ETX® modules include common personal computer (PC) peripheral functions such as:

Graphics

Parallel, Serial, and USB ports

Keyboard/mouse

Ethernet

Sound

IDE (and SATA)

The baseboard designer can optimize exactly how each of these functions implements physically.

Designers can place connectors precisely where needed for the application on a baseboard designed to

optimally fit a system’s packaging.

Peripheral PCI or ISA buses can be implemented directly on the baseboard rather than on mechanically

unwieldy expansion cards. The ability to build a system on a single baseboard using the computer as one

plug-in component simplifies packaging, eliminates cabling, and significantly reduces system-level cost.

A single baseboard design can use a range of ETX® modules. This flexibility can differentiate products at

various price/performance points, or to design future proof systems that have a builtin upgrade path.

The modularity of an ETX® solution also ensures against obsolescence as computer technology evolves.

A properly designed ETX® baseboard can work with several successive generations of ETX® modules.

An ETX® baseboard design has many advantages of a custom, computer-board design but delivers better

obsolescence protection, greatly reduced engineering effort, and faster time to market.

3.5

MTBF

The following MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) values were calculated using a combination of

manufacturer’s test data, if the data was available, and a Bellcore calculation for the remaining parts.

The Bellcore calculation used is “Method 1 Case 1”. In that particular method the components are

assumed to be operating at a 50 % stress level in a 40° C ambient environment and the system is

assumed to have not been burned in. Manufacturer’s data has been used wherever possible. The

manufacturer’s data, when used, is specified at 50° C, so in that sense the following results are slightly

conservative. The MTBF values shown below are for a 40° C in an office or telecommunications

environment. Higher temperatures and other environmental stresses (extreme altitude, vibration, salt

water exposure, etc.) lower MTBF values.

Notes: Fans usually shipped with Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH products have 50,000-hour typical operating

life. The above estimates assume no fan, but a passive heat sinking arrangement.

Estimated RTC battery life (as opposed to battery failures) is not accounted for in the above figures and need

to be considered for separately. Battery life depends on both temperature and operating conditions. When

the Kontron unit has external power; the only battery drain is from leakage paths.

4 ETX® connectors

4.3.2 Connector X1 Signal Description

PCI Bus

The implementation of this subsystem complies with the ETX® Specification. Implementation

information is provided in the ETX® Design Guide. Refer to the documentation for additional

information.

USB

Three USB host controllers (two 1.1 UHCI and one EHCI high-speed 2.0 controller) are on the Intel®

82801GB south bridge device. The USB controllers comply with both versions 1.1 and 2.0 of the USB

standard and are backward compatible. The three controllers implement a root hub, which have two USB

ports each.

Configuration

The USB controllers are PCI bus devices. The BIOS allocates required system resources during

configuration of the PCI bus.

Audio

The ETX®-CD PCI audio controller is integrated in the Intel® 82801GB southbridge. The audio codec is

compatible with AC97.

Configuration

The audio controller is a PCI bus device. The BIOS allocates required system resources during

configuration of the PCI device.

Serial IRQ

The serial IRQ pin offers a standardized interface to link interrupt request lines to a single wire.

Configuration

The serial IRQ machine is in “Continuous Mode” per default and can be changed in the BIOS setup, the

frame size is 21 frames and the start frame pulse width is 4 clocks.

3.3V Power Supply for External Components

The ETX®-CD offers the ability to connect external 3.3V devices to the onboard-generated supply

voltage. Pin 12 and Pin 16 of Connector X1 are used to connect to the +3.3V ±5% power supply. The

maximum external load is 500mA. Contact Kontron Embedded Systems Technical Support for help with

this feature.

Warning:

Do not connect 3.3 V pins to external 3.3 V supply.

For additional information, refer to the ETX® Design Guide, I2C application notes, and JIDA

specifications, all of which are available on the Kontron Embedded Systems Web site.

4.4.2 Connector X2 Signal Description

ISA Bus Slot

The implementation of this subsystem complies with the ETX® Specification. Implementation

information is provided in the ETX® Design Guide. Refer to the documentation for additional

information.

Restrictions:

Memory Transfer:

According to the used LPC 2 ISA solution only memory transfer in the Firmware HUB memory range and

with Firmware HUB commands is possible. The Firmware HUB range is from FED4:0000 to FED4:0FFF

I/O Transfer:

Only two generic decoding ranges are available which can be selected in the BIOS setup with a maximum

size of 256 Byte. This works of course only, when there are no other devices connected to that I/O ports

in that range.

It can be that there is only one decoding range available, when there are the COM and/or parallel ports

of an external SuperI/O controller used.

Signal level:

The signal level of the used Fintec controller is 3,3V, 5V tolerant. To achieve the 5V level, most of the

signals are pulled up to 5V.

Parallel Port / Floppy Interfaces

You can configure ETX®-CD’s parallel port interfaces as conventional PC parallel ports or as an interface

for a floppy-disk drive. You can select the operating mode in the BIOS settings and by a hardware mode-

select pin.

If Pin X3-51 (LPT/FLPY#) is grounded at boot time, the floppy support mode is selected. If the pin is left

floating or is held high, parallel-port mode is selected. The mode selection is determined at boot time. It

cannot be changed until the next boot cycle.

5 Special Features

Special Features

5.1

Watchdog Timer

This feature is implemented in the Winbond 83627HF super I/O. You can configure the Watchdog Timer

(WDT) in BIOS setup to start after a set amount of time after power-on boot. The WDT can also be

controlled by the JIDA32 Library API (Refer to Appendix F: JIDA Standard). The application software

should strobe the WDT to prevent its timeout. Upon timeout, the WDT resets and restarts the system. This

provides a way to recover from program crashes or lockups.

Configuration

You can program the timeout period for the watchdog timer in two ranges:

1-second increments from 1 to 255 seconds

1-minute increments from 1 to 255 minutes

Contact Kontron Embedded Modules technical support for information on programming and operating

the WDT.

6 Design Considerations

Design Considerations

6.1

Thermal Management

A heat-spreader plate assembly is available from Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH for the ETX®-CD. The

heat-spreader plate on top of this assembly is NOT a heat sink. It works as an ETX®-standard thermal

interface to use with a heat sink or other cooling device.

External cooling must be provided to maintain the heat-spreader plate at proper operating

temperatures. Under worst-case conditions, the cooling mechanism must maintain an ambient air and

heat-spreader plate temperature of 60°C or less.

The aluminum slugs and thermal pads on the underside of the heat-spreader assembly implement

thermal interfaces between the heat spreader plate and the major heat-generating components on the

ETX®-CD. About 80 percent of the power dissipated within the module is conducted to the heat-spreader

plate and can be removed by the cooling solution.

You can use many thermal-management solutions with the heat-spreader plates, including active and

passive approaches. The optimum cooling solution varies, depending on the ETX® application and

environmental conditions. Please see the ETX® Design Guide for further information on thermal

management.

7 Important Technology Information

Important Technology Information

The following technological information is designed to give the reader a better understanding of some of

features of the ETX®-CD. This information can be referenced when reading the System Resources and

BIOS Operation sections that follow. There are also references to additional documentation that will

help to develop a better understanding of the technical information described herein.

7.1

I/O APIC vs 8259 PIC Interrupt mode

The I/O APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller) handles interrupts differently then the

8259 PIC. The following information explains these differences. The ETX®-CD only supports the APIC

mode of interupt handling.

7.1.1 Method of interrupts transmission

The I/O APIC transmits interrupts through the system bus and interrupts are handled without the needs

for the processor to run an interrupt acknowledge cycle.

7.1.2 Interrupt priority

The priority of interrupts in the I/O APIC is independent of the interrupt number.

7.1.3 More interrupts

The I/O APIC in the chipset of the ETX®-CD supports a total of 24 interrupts.

The APIC is not supported by all operating systems. Only Windows Xp supports APIC.

For more information see chapter 8 of the IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer’s Manual, Volume

7.2

Thermal Monitor and Catastrophic Thermal Protection

The Thermal Monitor within the Intel® processors helps to control the processor temperature by

activating the TCC (Thermal Control Circuit) when the processor silicon reaches its maximum operating

temperature. The temperature at which the Intel® Thermal Monitor activates the TCC is not user-

configurable and is not software visible.

The Thermal Monitor controls the processor temperature by modulating (starting and stopping) the CPU

core clocks at a 50% duty cycle (TM1) or by initiating an Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology transition

(TM2)* when the processor silicon reaches its maximum operating temperature (selectable in setup).

Note:

TM2 is the recommended mode for the Intel® Core Duo® and Core2Duo® processors.

*Not supported on the ETX®-CD with the CM 423.

Thermal Monitor supports two modes to activate the TCC: Automatic and On-Demand mode. The Intel

Thermal Monitor Automatic Mode must be enabled via BIOS for the processor to be operating within

specification.

Kontron User's Guide ETX CD

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

7 Important Technology Information

Automatic mode does not require any additional hardware, software drivers, or interrupt handling

routines.

Note:

With a properly designed thermal solution, the TCC is only active for very short periods, hence processor

performance impact is expected to be so minor that it would not be detectable.

The Intel® Core Duo® and Core2Duo® processors support the THERMTRIP# signal for catastrophic

thermal protection.

In the event of a catastrophic cooling failure, the processor will automatically shut down when the

silicon has reached a temperature of approximately 125°C. At this point the system BUS signal

THERMTRIP# will go active.

THERMTRIP# activation is independent of processor activity and does not generate any bus cycles.

7.2.1 Summary

Thermal Control Circuit reduces performance when the processor reaches its max. operating temperature

(100°C). THERMTRIP# shuts down the system in case of catastrophic cooling failure.

7.3

Processor Performance Control

The Intel® Core Duo® and Core2Duo® processors run in different performance states (multiple

frequency/voltage operating points). The CPU performance can be altered while the computer is

functioning. This allows the processor to run at different core frequencies and voltages depending on

CPU thermal state and OS policy.

Windows XP includes built-in processor performance control to operate the processor more efficiently

when it is not fully utilized. Win2k, WinME and Win9x do not support processor performance control.

Special software is required for Oses not capable of processor performance control.

In Windows, the processor performance control policy is linked to the Power Scheme setting in the

control panel power option applet.

Note:

Windows always runs at the highest performance state when the “Home/Office” or “Always On” power

scheme is selected.

For a more detailed information about processor performance control, see:

Chapter 8 of the ACPI Specification Revision 2.0c available at www.acpi.info Windows platform design note

at: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/tech/onnow/procperfctrl.mspx

7.4

Thermal Management

ACPI allows the OS to play a role in the thermal management of the system. With the OS in control of the

operating environment, cooling decisions can be made based on the application load on the CPU and the

thermal heuristics of the system.

The ACPI thermal solution on ETX®-CD supports three cooling policies:

Active Cooling

The OS is turning the fan on/off. Active cooling devices typically consume power and produce noise, but

are able to cool a thermal zone without limiting system performance. The active cooling trip point

Kontron User's Guide ETX CD

7 Important Technology Information

declares the temperature threshold the OS uses to decide when to start/stop active cooling devices. See

section ETX®-CD onboard Fan connectorfor more information about the ETX®-CD onboard Fan control.

Passive Cooling

The OS reduces the power consumption of the processor by throttling the processor clock to reduce the

temperature of the thermal zone. Passive cooling devices (processor) produce no noise. The passive

cooling trip point declares the temperature threshold where the OS will start or stop passive cooling.

Critical Trip Point

The OS performs an orderly, but critical, shutdown of the system when the temperature reaches the

critical trip point.

7.5

ETX®-CD onboard Fan connector

This section describes how to connect a fan to the connector located directly on the ETX®-CD. With

certain BIOS-settings it is possible to control the fan depending on the Active Trip Point temperature.

The fan switches on/off depending on the adjusted Active Trip Point temperature. In order for this

feature to function properly an ACPI compliant OS is necessary.

Note:

The ETX® CD can not control the revolutions per minute (R.P.M) of the fan.

7 Important Technology Information

7.5.5 Processor Clock Throttling

The ACPI OS assesses the optimum CPU performance change necessary to lower the temperature using

the following equation:

ΔP[%] = TC1(Tn-Tn-1) + TC2(Tn-Tt)

ΔP is the performance delta, Tt is the target temperature = passive cooling trip point. The two

coefficients TC1 and TC2 and the sampling period TSP are hardware dependent constants the end user

must supply (setup options section ACPI Control Submenu).

It’s up to the end user to set the cooling preference of the system by setting the appropriate trip points

in the BIOS setup.

Note:

See chapter 12 of the ACPI specification (www.acpi.info) for more details.

Warning: The ETX®-CD is always booting in PIC mode. This might lead to the fact, that there are no interrupts

for PCI devices available when all onboard and SuperI/O interfaces are enabled. Then the system stops

without booting. The only solution is to deactivate interfaces.

9 Limitations

Limitations

9.1

ISA Bus

Memory accesses are not supported on the ISA bus. I/O accesses are only supported if they fall into one

of the 4 generic decode ranges provided by the chipset. If a plugin ISA card is using registers in I/O

space, this address range has to be enabled explicitely using the decode range and size setup items

provided under the menu "Advanced" -> "Advanced Chipset Control" -> "ISA Options".

The following devices may also consume a generic decode range which can no longer be used for plugin

cards.

"Advanced" -> "I/O device Configuration" -> "SIO Options"

"External SIO": SIO2 config space, if this range is released (item set to disabled),

none of the devices in the external SIO will work

Serial Port C/D: consumes one range if either one or both COMs are enabled

External LPT: Consumes one range if enabled

"Advanced" -> "Hardware Monitor"

"Hardware Monitor": consumes one range if enabled, disable if you don't require

HWM support.

Note:

the BIOS doesn't check the range and size values set in the ISA Options menu. Ensure that theses values do

not conflict with other legacy and PCI I/O resources. Resource conflicts may render the board inoperable.

If the number of generic decode ranges is exhausted, a conflict marker will be displayed

9.2

Windows 2000

Windows 2000 can only be installed, when in the BIOS setup ACPI is disable.

10 BIOS Operation

The module is equipped with a Phoenix BIOS, which is located in an onboard Flash EEPROM. The device

has 8-bit access. Faster access (16 bit) is provided by the shadow RAM feature. You can update the BIOS

using a Flash utility.

10.1

Determining the BIOS Version

To determine the PhoenixBIOS version, immediately press the Pause key on your keyboard as soon as you

see the following text display in the upper left corner of your screen:

PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Release 6.1

Kontron® BIOS Version <MCALR110>

10.2

Setup Guide

The PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility changes system behavior by modifying the BIOS configuration. The setup

program uses a number of menus to make changes and turn features on or off.

Note:

Selecting incorrect values may cause system boot failure. Load setup default values to recover by pressing

<F9>. It might also be necessary to use the “reset configuration data” option in the BIOS setup and set it to

“yes”. In certain circumstances this may also help to recover from system boot failure or a resource conflict.

10.2.1 Start Phoenix BIOS Setup Utility

To start the PhoenixBIOS setup utility, press <F2> when the following string appears during bootup.

Press <F2> to enter Setup

The Main Menu then appears.

Updating or Restoring BIOS

Phoenix Phlash16 allows you to update or restore the BIOS with a newer version or restore a corrupt

BIOS by using a floppy disk without having to install a new ROM chip.

Get the Phoenix Phlash16 compressed file, CRDxMODB.ZIP, from the Kontron

Embedded Modules GmbH. It contains the following files:

File

Purpose

MAKEBOOT.EXE

CRISBOOT.BIN

MINIDOS.SYS

PHLASH16.EXE

WINCRISIS.EXE

WINCRISIS.HLP

BIOS.WHP

Creates the custom boot sector on the Crisis Recovery Diskette.

Serves as the Crisis Recovery boot sector code.

Allows the system to boot in Crisis Recovery Mode.

Programs the Flash ROM.

Creates the Crisis Recovery Diskette from Windows.

Serves as the help file of WINCRISES.EXE.

Serves as the actual BIOS image to be programmed into Flash ROM.

BIOS.WPH is a file that contains the 1MB BIOS binary and flash interface code

required by Phlash16.EXE.

To install Phoenix Phlash16 on a hard disk, unzip the content of CRDxMCAL.ZIP into a

local directory such as C:\PHLASH.

Note:

Crisis Recovery requires either a floppy disk connected to the LPT interface (external floppy drive_1) or an

USB floppy drive.

To create a Crisis Recovery Diskette, insert a blank diskette into Drive A: or B: and

execute WINCRISIS.EXE. This copies four files onto the Crisis Recovery Diskette.

Purpose

File

MINIDOS.SYS

PHLASH16.EXE

BIOS.WPH

Allows the system to boot in Crisis Recovery Mode.

Programs the Flash ROM.

Serves as the BIOS image to be programmed into Flash ROM.

If the BIOS image (BIOS.WPH) changes because of an update or bug fix, copy the new

BIOS.WPH image onto the diskette.

Phoenix Phlash16 runs in one of two modes: Command Line or Crisis Recovery. Use

the Command Line mode to update or replace a BIOS. To execute Phlash16 in this

mode, move to the Crisis Recovery Disk and type PHLASH16. Phoenix Phlash16 will

update the BIOS. Phlash16 can fail if the system uses memory managers. If this

occurs, the utility displays the following message:

Cannot flash when memory managers are present.

If you see this message after you execute Phlash16, disable the memory manager or

use parameter /x for Phlash16.exe.

Preventing Problems When Updating or Restoring BIOS

Updating the BIOS represents a potential hazard. Power failures or fluctuations that may occur during

updating the Flash ROM can damage the BIOS code, making the system unbootable.

To prevent this potential hazard, many systems come with a boot-block Flash ROM. The boot-block

region contains a fail-safe recovery routine. If the boot-block code finds a corrupted BIOS (checksum

fails), it boots into the crisis recovery mode and loads a BIOS image from a crisis diskette (see above).

Additionally, the end user can insert an update key into the serial port (COM1 only) to force initiating

the recovery routine for the boot block.

11 Appendix A: JIDA Standard

Every board with an on-board BIOS extension supports the following function calls, which supply

information about the board. Jumptec Intelligent Device Architecture (JIDA) functions are called via

Interrupt 15h. Functions include:

AH=Eah

AL=function number

DX=4648h (security word)

CL=board number (starting with 1)

The interrupt returns a CL 0 if a board with the number specified in CL does not exist. CL will equal 0 if

the board number exists. In this case, the content of DX determines if the operation was successful.

DX=6B6Fh indicates success; other values indicate an error.

11.1

JIDA Information

To obtain information about boards that follow the JIDA standard, use the following procedure.

Call Get BIOS ID with CL=1.

The name of the first device installed will be returned.

If you see the result Board exists (CL=0), increment CL, and call Get BIOS ID again.

Repeat until you see Board not present (CL 0).

You now know the names of all boards within your system that follow the JIDA

standard.

You can find out more information about a specific board by calling the appropriate

inquiry function with the board’s number in CL.

Note:

Association between board and board number may change because of configuration changes. Do not rely on

any association between board and board number. Always use the procedure described above to determine

the association between board and board number.

Refer to the JIDA manual in the jidai1xx.zip folder, which is available from the Kontron Embedded

Modules GmbH Web site, for further information on implementing and using JIDA calls with C sample

code.
