CoreExpress®-ECO

  • CoreExpress® - COM Module - Intel® Atom™ processor

The Computer-On-Module module CoreExpress-ECO works with Intel's Atom processor. In January, 2010, the SFF-SIG adopted Core Express as an Industry Standard architecture..

Its size of 58 mm x 65 mm makes it the smallest embedded PC module available. The tiny overall size comes from the uncompromising, legacy-free design that does without the usual analog interfaces. The used Intel Atom processor is build in power-saving 45 nanometer technology and features a completely new microcode yet retains compatibility to the familiar programming model of the Core™ 2 Duo. The module's focus towards low current consumption is apparent when considering the extremely low power requirement of typically 5 watts at 1.6 GHz.

Evaluation is simple using the provided developer's kit. Check out the information about the developer's kit here

LEMT

CoreExpress-ECO: LEMT Functions


LEMT (LiPPERT Enhanced Management Technology) is LiPPERT's way of managing and supervising embedded PCs. It offers features like advanced watchdog handling, supervision counters, and non-volatile storage for asset handling. More details about the used techniques and implementation are availabe in the Knowledge Base section.

The CoreExpress-ECO implements these Functions:

Function name Description
Total operating hours counter Counts the number of hours the module has been run in minutes
On-time minutes counter Indicates the amount of time since last power on in minutes
Power cycles counter Counts how often the module has been powered on
Watchdog timer Set / Reset / Disable / Trigger Watchdog Timer
System restart reason Power loss / Watchdog / External Reset
Fail-safe-BIOS support In case of a boot failure, hardware signals tell external logic to boot from a Fail-Safe-BIOS
Flash area 1024 bytes of Flash area for customer data
Protected flash area 128 Bytes. Keys, ID’s, etc. can be stored in a write- and clear-protectable region
Board identity Vendor ID / board ID / serial number
Temperature Monitor Read the actual temperatures of the CPU and Board. Stores Temperatures at Power-up.
Temperature Logger Stores Min-/Max-Temperature of the CPU and Board

BIOS Notes

We support our customers with BIOS binaries and all kinds of drivers for our embedded X86 boards. Usually, there's at least support for Windows and Linux. Some selected boards are also supported with drivers for real time operating systems.Check the table state above for the list of drivers and the current BIOS version. Please contact our Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist gegen Spambots geschützt! JavaScript muss aktiviert werden, damit sie angezeigt werden kann. if the required driver is not listed on this web site.

BIOS loader
To burn the BIOS binary into your module's Flash PROM, there is a universal loader program available that works with most of our single bard computers. This tool requires DOS to run.

BIOS Modifications
You need a special function integrated in your embedded PC's BIOS? We can customize the standard BIOS to match exactly your requirements! Please Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist gegen Spambots geschützt!
