MOPS/386A

2.1
The MOPS/386A integrates the complete functionality of an 80386 SX motherboard with a
CPU, system BIOS, minimum 2MB DRAM, keyboard controller, real-time clock and
additional peripheral functions such as serial and parallel ports, floppy interface, IDE hard-
disk interface, character-LCD interface, matrix-keyboard interface, watchdog timer, and a
silicon disk. The system runs at a CPU clock speed of up to 40MHz.
The MOPS/386A is not equipped with a graphics controller and requires an external
graphics-controller board on the PC/104 bus to provide output to a CRT monitor.

The MOPS Family

2.2
MOPS (Minimized Open PC System) PC/104 products represent the "Proven PC Platform for
Instant Solutions." Each MOPS module is characterized by the same pinout for the
keyboard, COM1 and COM2, 44-pin IDE, LPT, and 1
facilitate easy upgrades within the Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH MOPS PC/104
product family.
Whenever a LCD panel is required in an application, MOPS products that have onboard
graphics controllers serve as the right choice. Display connections are simplified when
using these units, which come with a JUMPtec Intelligent LVDS Interface (JILI) and a
JUMPtec Intelligent Panel Adapter (JIPA) interface. The two interfaces can recognize which
display is connected and then independently set all video parameters. These interfaces are
not available on all MOPS products.
All MOPS-PC/104 are plug-and-work enabled to further reduce time-to-market.
As part of the standard features package, all MOPS PC/104 modules come with a JUMPtec
Intelligent Device Architecture (JIDA) interface, which is integrated into the BIOS of the
PC/104 modules. This interface enables hardware independent access to the MOPS-PC/104
features that cannot be accessed via standard APIs. Functions such as watchdog timer,
brightness and contrast of LCD backlight and user bytes in the EEPROM can be configured
with ease by taking advantage of this standard MOPS PC/104 module feature.
All MOPS PC/104 products can be remote controlled by using JRC software feature. This
allows you to change, update, and maintain the MOPS products from a host computer via a
serial connection.
