  • Page 22: Microprocessor

    PlusIO • Intel® Atom™ E39xx Processor (APL-I SoC) Microprocessor The PC6-TANGO is equipped with an Intel® Atom™ E39xx series processor (code name Apollo Lake-I aka 'APL-I'). This system-on-chip (SoC) provides integrated graphics, an ECC memory controller and high speed I/O, resulting in a low power platform design. As of current, Intel® offers three CPU SKU versions suitable for the PC6-TANGO, differing mainly in the power consumption, caused by differences in the number of processor cores integrated and internal clock speed.

  • Page 23: Thermal Considerations

    This results in a reduction of power consumption and heat dissipation. Do not try to remove the PC6-TANGO heatsink by yourself, since it is bonded to the CPU by a Phase-Change-Material (PCM), in order to improve the heat flow between the APL and the heatsink.

  • Page 24: Main Memory

    PlusIO • Intel® Atom™ E39xx Processor (APL-I SoC) Main Memory The PC6-TANGO features a total of 8GB DDR3L SDRAM with support of ECC (Error Correction Code). 8GB is the maximum memory size supported by the APL-I SoC. All 18 memory devices are directly soldered to the board (Memory Down), with a clock frequency of 1600MHz.

  • Page 25: Graphics Subsystem

    Intel® graphics. For industrial applications and optimum reliability however, Intel® recommends to operate the GPU at 400MHz fixed clock. The PC6-TANGO offers two DisplayPort (DP) receptacles in the front panel, for individual use or an extended desktop application. The VESA DDC standard is supported, allowing to read out important display parameters, e.g.

  • Page 26: Lan Subsystem

    ® PC6-TANGO • CompactPCI PlusIO • Intel® Atom™ E39xx Processor (APL-I SoC) LAN Subsystem The Ethernet LAN subsystem is comprised of up to four Gigabit Ethernet ports. Two Intel® i210IT Gigabit Ethernet controllers are provided to support the front panel RJ45 jacks (backwards compatible to 10Base-T and 100Base-TX).

  • Page 27: Serial Ata Interface (Sata)

    PlusIO • Intel® Atom™ E39xx Processor (APL-I SoC) Serial ATA Interface (SATA) The PC6-TANGO provides a total of up to four serial ATA (SATA) 6Gbps ports, suitable for attachment of mass storage devices. Two ports are derived directly from two the APL-I SoC; another two ports are available as an option via an on-board SATA controller.

By software strapping, these lanes can be configured as 4 PCIe links x1, or one link x4, for use on a hybrid backplane with CompactPCI®...

  • Page 29: Universal Serial Bus (Usb)

    PlusIO • Intel® Atom™ E39xx Processor (APL-I SoC) Universal Serial Bus (USB) The APL-I SoC on the PC6-TANGO is configured to support two USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-A front panel connectors (USB 3.1 was formerly known as USB 3.0 5Gbps SuperSpeed). Both front panel USB receptacles can source a minimum of 1.5A/5V each, over-current protected by electronic switches.

  • Page 30: Utility Interfaces

    The HD Audio port requires an additional audio codec, as provided e.g. on the PCS-BALLET side card. The LPC bus presents an easy way to add legacy interfaces to the system. EKF offers a variety of mezzanine expansion boards (side cards), to be attached on top of the PC6-TANGO, featuring all classic Super-I/O functionality, for example the PCS-BALLET.

  • Page 31: Real-Time Clock

    The PC6-TANGO is provided with a time-of-day clock and 100-year calendar, integrated into the APL-I SoC. A battery on the board supplies the clock circuitry whenever the computer main power is turned off. The PC6-TANGO uses a holder to retain a BR2032 lithium coin cell, giving an autonomy of more than 5 years.

  • Page 32: Spi Flash

    PC6-TANGO UEFI/BIOS binary are available from the EKF website. Read carefully the enclosed instructions. If the programming procedure fails e.g. caused by a power interruption, the PC6-TANGO may no more be operable. In this case you would have to send in the board, because the Flash device is directly soldered to the PCB and cannot be changed by the user.

  • Page 33: Cfast

    PlusIO • Intel® Atom™ E39xx Processor (APL-I SoC) CFast™ The PC6-TANGO is provided with a CFast™ host connector, for user replaceable mass storage. It is suitable for CFast™ 2.0 cards, which have the same dimensions as CompactFlash™ cards, but are operated in SATA mode.

  • Page 34: Reset

    The healthy state of the PC6-TANGO is indicated by the LED PG (Power Good) located in the front panel. This bicoloured LED signals different states of the board (see section below). As soon as this LED begins to lite green, all power voltages are within their specifications and the reset signal has been deasserted.

    Please note, that the CompactPCI® PlusIO specification refers to SATA data rates of 1.5Gbps and 3Gbps. EKF has tested successfully also 6G over the backplane with sample devices, but cannot guarantee this data rate under any condition. Other devices and other backplane brands/types in use may cause a different result.
