3.5 Ethernet Controller Intel 82551IT Fast Ethernet Controller The 82551IT is an evolutionary addition to Intel’s family of 8255x controllers. It provides excellent performance by offloading TCP, UDP and IP checksums and supports TCP segmentation off-load for operations such as Large Send. The 82551IT provides an extended operating temperature in addition to all of the same capabilities and features as the 82551ER to address applications requiring a wider operating temperature range.
3.6 On Board Power Supply The on board power supply generates all necessary voltages from the single supply voltage of 5 volts. The generated 3.3 volts are available on the connectors "Flat Panel" and "LVDS". Note This 3.3 V must not be used to supply external electronic devices with high power consumption like other PC/104 boards or displays.
3.7 EIDE Port An EIDE (Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics) port is provided by the chipset to connect one drive. The connected device must be set as slave. To enhance the performance, this port has a 100 MB/s IDE controller in UDMA mode per the ATA-5 specification The EIDE port is available on a standard 44-pin header (2 mm) for 2.5"...
Reset-In/ Power Button 3.9 USB 2.0 Ports Four standard USB 2.0 host ports are provided with the Cool SpaceRunner-LX800. Three are located on the IDC12 header "USB". An adapter cable is available to use standard USB devices with this connector.

3.10 Serial Ports The serial ports are located on two IDC headers "COM1" and "COM2". Adapter cables with standard DSUB-9 male connectors are available. The ports either work in RS232 or RS485 mode, selectable in BIOS. When entering Motherboard Device Configuration Serial and Parallel Device Configurations, COM Port 1 Mode and COM Port 2 Mode can be selected.
(e.g. RX+ and RX-) Additionally, positive/negative receive lines are pulled up/down with 1kΩ to 5V/GND in order to protect the transceivers of the Cool SpaceRunner-LX800 from overvoltage. It is recommended to protect the ports of the external device in the same way! Caution: Termination Resistors should not be used in RS232 Mode! Otherwise, the serial ports will not work.

3.18 PC/104 Bus Interface The PC/104 bus is a modification of the industry standard (ISA) PC bus specified in IEEE P996. The PC/104 bus has different mechanics than P966 to allow the stacking of modules. The main features are: • Supports programmable extra wait state for ISA cycles •...
4 Using the Module 4.1 BIOS The Cool SpaceRunner-LX800 is delivered with an Insyde Technology XpressROM BIOS. The default settings guarantee a "ready to run" system, even without a BIOS setup backup battery. All setup changes of the BIOS are stored in the CMOS RAM. A copy of the CMOS RAM, excluding date and time, is stored in the flash memory.

The Drive Configuration menu allows configuring connected EIDE devices. An IDE device can be disabled that power stays off after restart. With the help of 80-Conductor Cable Sense the DMA/UDMA of a device is set. For running a device in UDMA-4 mode an 80 pin cable is required. The GPIO 05 option should detect it automatically.

The Serial and Parallel Device Configurations menu allows configuring COM1, COM2 and LPT1. COM-Ports can be switched between RS232 and RS485. It is possible to change the resource and interrupts of all ports. Hard Drive Setting Options Serial Port 1/2 Disabled, 0x3f8 IRQ 4, 0x2f8 IRQ 3, 0x3e8 IRQ4, 0x2e8 IRQ3 Serial Mode...

ISA I/O and Memory Configuration allows setting the board’s ISA memory and I/O map. By default the following I/O and Memory Ranges are mapped to ISA and NOT accessible for other devices any more: I/O: Range-0: 100h-17Fh Range-1: 17Fh-1BFh Range-2: 1C0h-1DFh Range-3: 200h-27Fh Range-4: 300h-33Fh Range-5: 340h-35Fh...
Trouble Shooting BIOS Settings It may happen that the BIOS is configured that the Cool SpaceRunner-LX800 does not start at all. To repair this, the default values of the BIOS can be automatically loaded at boot time. To load these, the power must be switched on and off again within 2 seconds.
4.3 LIVE LED Programming The LIVE LED can be programmed by users. Die cathode of the mounted LED is connected to a GPIO pin of the Super I/O. If the input has ground potential the LED is on. The Live-LED (red) can be controlled with bit 0 of I/O port 1220h (SIO GP10). The BIOS signals with it that the POST is in progress.
4.4 Watchdog Programming Since the Watchdog is disabled in delivery status, it must be set up for proper use. The Watchdog is an internal feature of the ITE8712 Super I/O. If the Watchdog is activated and the timer is not set back within a programmed amount of time, the board does a system reset. The mounted LEMT initialize a hardware reset and turns on the watchdog LED.
4.5 Reading Temperatures There are temperature sensors available that allow measurement of the CPU's chip temperature as well as the board's ambient temperature. These are shown in the BIOS setup screens, see above. This example is meant to be compiled using gcc under Linux. For using the listed libraries the libc6 package should be installed.
