Introduction MOPSlcdLX MOPSlcdLX SBC modules support the AMD LX800 Embedded System Platform. The MOPSlcdLX is a versatile, low-cost, low-power module that conforms to the industry standard 90mm x 96mm PC/104 form factor. The board’s chipset includes a AMD Geode LX800 CPU and the Companion Chip CS5536.
Each MOPS module is characterized by the same pinout for the keyboard, COM1 and COM2, 44-pin IDE, LPT, and 1 LAN. These homogeneous features facilitate easy upgrades within the Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH MOPS PC/104 product family. Whenever a LCD panel is required, MOPS products with onboard graphics controllers serve as the right choice.
Chapter 3 Getting Started Getting Started The easiest way to get the MOPSlcdLX board running is to use a starter kit from Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH. Take the following steps: Connect the power supply to the starter kit baseboard (part of the starter kit).

SDRAM module is used for main memory and graphic memory on the MOPSlcdLX. Shared Memory Architecture (SMA) manages the sharing of the system memory between phic controller and processor. Therefore, the full m emory size is not available for software applications.
Chapter 8 PCI Bus Expansion ISA Bus Expansion The design of the MOPSlcdLX follows the standard PC/104 form factor and offers ISA bus signals for the use of standard PC/104 adapter cards. PC/104 Bus (ISA part) The PC/104 bus consists of two connectors that use 104 pins in total.
Configuration of V and VCC The PCI Bus of the MOPSlcdLX is 3.3V only. The default settings for V and VCC are not connected. If it is ensured that the PCI expansion cards are types of 3.3V only, Zero-Ohm bridges can be set (see picture 1 and picture 2).
JILI cable. On occasion, backlight voltage has to be adjusted on the cable. Even though the MOPSlcdLX is a +5V only board, you need to supply the +12V for the backlight converter additionally when using such a converter type. The onboard +3.3V circuitry and the +3.3V logic voltage of low-voltage panels are powered by separa te voltage regulators.
Graphics Interface Connecting a LCD Panel To determine whether your panel display is supported, check the Kontron Web site for panel lists. We regu- larly update the list of panels that have been tested with the MOPSlcdLX. If you use one of those adapters supplied by Kontron, configuration is easy: ...

Ethernet Controller 17. Ethernet Controller The MOPSlcdLX uses a Intel 82551ER PCI Fast Ethernet Controller. The network controllers support 10/100 Base-T interfaces. The devices auto-negotiate the use of a 10 Mbit/sec or 100 Mbit/sec connection. An error-free operation can be guaranteed up to 100 me ters CAT4 ethernet cable.
MOPSlcdLX is intended for use as a stand-alone module without a backplane. You eed to have a power connector available on the board for direct power supply. The MOPSlcdLX is a +5V only boar d. Peripherals can obtain additional voltage from the power connector next to the PC/104 bus. The additional voltages (+12V, -5V and -12V) are not generated onboard the MOPSlcdLX.

Watchdog Timer 21. Watchdog Timer The watchdog timer of the MOPSlcdLX can issue a reset to the system. The watchdog timer circuit has to be triggered within a specified time by the application software. If the watchdog is not triggered because proper software execution fails or a hardware malfunction occ urs, it will reset the system.
Some problems exists when using the KONTRON ADA9 PC/104+ Evaluation Board (re- ® fering to PCI Slots). KONTRON can not guarantee that all PCI cards runs error-free 22.3 Memory Issues In case you encounter problems during file operations (i.e. copy procedure during Windows installation), these can usually be fixed by decreasing the memory speed.
