LiPPERT Cool LiteRunner-86DX: PC/104 SBC with Vortex-86DX

Cool LiteRunner-86DX

  • PC/104 Single Board Computer - DM&P Vortex-86DX CPU, 600…1000 MHz

The Cool LiteRunner-86DX is an affordable PC/104 single board computer running a DM&P Vortex-86DX processor. The processor’s clock frequency can be set from 600…1000 MHz. Two Cool LiteRunner-86DX can be configured for redundant
operation.
Fast, specialized, hardware-based processing is possible with the integrated Xilinx Spartan-3A FPGA, connected to the CPU via LPC bus and UART interface. A buildin GPS receiver allows location based applications like indoor tracking or device tracking.
Many standard PC peripherals are already on-board. Fast Ethernet, four USB ports, an ATA100 compliant EIDE port, as well as PS/2 ports. A MicroSD slot and an Onboard-Flash device facilitate constructions of devices without moving parts, as it is often required for mobile applications. Two flexible serial ports can be software-configured for RS232/RS422/RS485 line levels.
The Cool LiteRunner-86DX can be expanded using the PC/104 connector or the builtin Mini-PCI slot. A Mini-PCI-based graphics module is readily available.
Sixteen I/O signals are freely usable for application defined signals and are accessible on a flat cable connector. The real time clock is buffered with an integrated battery.
Troubleshooting is easy with supervision LEDs for power, watchdog, Ethernet and an application-defined life signal.
The Cool LiteRunner-86DX uses LiPPERT Enhanced Management Technology (LEMT) to handle the boards housekeeping tasks like power sequencing and watchdog. It also provides useful utility functions for the application, like a secure, write and clear protected Flash area that can be used for security keys, or several operation mode counters. LEMT also enables remote condition monitoring.

LEMT Functions

Cool LiteRunner-86DX: 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 Cool LiteRunner-86DX 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
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
Voltage Monitor Read Onboard-Voltages

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 below for the list of drivers and the current BIOS version. Please contact our support 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 check with us about the possibilities and a quote.
