The battery can be connected to the board using dedicated connector CN49 which is a 2-pin p1.27 mm type HR p/n A1250WRA-S-02PNLNG1G00R or equivalent, with pinout shown in the table on the left. In case of exhaustion, the battery should only be replaced with devices of the same type. Always check the orientation before inserting and make sure that they are aligned correctly and are not damaged or leaking. Never allow the batteries to become short-circuited during handling.

CAUTION: handling batteries incorrectly or replacing with not-approved devices may present a risk of fire or explosion. Batteries supplied with the board are compliant to requirements of European Directive 2006/66/EC regarding batteries and accumulators. When putting out of order the board, remove the batteries from the board in order to collect and dispose them according to the requirement of the same European Directive above mentioned. Even when replacing the batteries, the disposal has to be made according to these requirements.

2.3.3 Power rails naming convention In all the tables contained in this manual, Power rails are named with the following meaning: _RUN: Switched voltages, i.e. power rails that are active only when the board is in ACPI’s S0 (Working) state. Examples: +3.3V_RUN, +5V_RUN. _ALW: Always-on voltages, i.e. power rails that are active both in ACPI’s S0 (Working), S3 (Standby) and S5 (Soft Off) state. Examples: +5V_ALW, +3.3V_ALW. _U: unswitched ACPI S3 voltages, i.e. power rails that are active both in ACPI’s S0 (Working) and S3 (Standby) state. Examples: +1.5V_U Other suffixes are used for application specific power rails, which are derived from same voltage value of voltage switched rails, if it is not differently stated (for example, +5VHDMI is derived from +5V_RUN, and so on).

3.3 Connectors description
3.3.1 DDR4 SO-DIMM Sockets CPUs used on the board provide support for DDR4-3200 SO-DIMM Memory Modules, up to 64GB total, which can be integrated by using the dedicated DDR4 SO-DIMM sockets: CN50 is type LOTES p/n ADDR0110-P003A or equivalent, right angle socket, h = 9.2mm. CN51 is type LOTES p/n ADDR0208-P003A or equivalent, right angle socket, h = 5.2mm. Both of them are usually used for high speed system memory applications.

3.3.2 BIOS Restore switch In some cases, a wrong configuration of BIOS parameters could lead the module in an unusable state (i.e. no video output, all USB HID devices disabled). For these cases, on the board has been placed a 3-way switch SW1 which can be used to restore the BIOS to factory default configuration. To do so, it is necessary to place the contact of the switch in 2-3 position, then turn on the module, wait until the board has started regularly then turn off the module. The contact MUST be now placed back to 1-2 position. During normal use, the contact MUST be always placed in 1-2 position.

LVDS_DID_CLK

The board can be interfaced to LCD displays using its LVDS interface, which allows connecting 18 or 24 bit, single or dual channel displays. This interface is a factory alternative to an eDP interface with dedicated connector (see next paragraph). The LVDS interface is implemented using an eDP to LVDS bridge (NXP PTN3460), which allow the implementation of a Dual Channel LVDS, with a maximum supported resolution of 1920×1200 @ 60Hx (dual channel mode). Such an interface is derived from Processor’s eDP Interface. For the connection, a connector type MOLEX 501190-5017 or equivalent (2 x 25p, male, straight, P1, low profile, polarised) is provided. Mating connector, MOLEX 501189-5010 with crimp terminals series 501334. On the same connectors, are also implemented signals for direct driving of display’s backlight: voltages (VDD_LCD and VDD_BKLT) and control signals (LCD enable signal, PANEL_EN, Backlight enable signal, BKLT_EN, and Backlight Brightness Control signal, BKLT_CTRL). There are also the signals necessary for driving I2C touchscreens (I2C signals, reset and interrupt request signals). When building a cable for connection of LVDS displays, please take care of twist as tight as possible differential pairs’ signal wires, in order to reduce EMI interferences. Shielded cables are also recommended. VDD_LCD: LCD Voltage rail. Its value can be set to +3.3V_RUN or +5V_RUN by factory configuration of the circuit breakers BR4 (+5V_RUN) and BR5 (+3.3V_RUN). VDD_BKLT: Backlight Voltage rail. Its value can be set to +5V_ALW or +12V_ALW by factory configuration of the circuit breakers BR1 (+12V_ALW), BR2 (VIN_FILT) and BR3 (+5V_RUN).

The embedded controller of the board manages two 4-wire legacy UARTs, which are carried to as many multistandard RS-232/RS422/RS-485 transceivers, allowing the implementation of two multistandard serial ports (from now on respectively named COM0 and COM1). These ports are available on dedicated connector CN72, which is an internal 9-pin standard male pin header, p 2.54 mm, 5+4 pin, h = 6mm, type NELTRON p/n 2213S-10G-E06 or equivalent. The selection of the kind of interface (RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485) can be made via BIOS. Please be aware that for proper RS-485 working, the RTS# signals must be used as a handshaking signal, i.e. it is used to control the data flow direction. When RTS# signal is driven low, then the RS-485 port is in receiving mode, when RTS# signal is driven high then the RS-458 port is in transmitting mode.

A parity bit can be sent with the data bits to detect some transmission errors. Even: parity bit is 0 if the number of 1s in the data bits is even. Odd: parity bit is 0 if the number of 1s in the data bits is odd. Mark: parity bit is always 1. Space: parity bit is always 0. Mark and Space do not allow for error detection Stop bits indicate the end of a serial data packet. (A start bit indicates the beginning). The standard setting is 1 stop bit. Communication with slow devices may require more than 1 stop bit Flow Control can prevent data loss from buffer overflow. When sending data, if the receiving buffers are full, a ‘stop’ signal can be sent to stop the data flow. Once the buffers are empty, a ‘start’ signal can be sent to re-start the flow.
