Cool LiteRunner-ECO

  • PC/104 Single Board Computer - Intel Atom Z5xx, 1.1 GHz / 1.6 GHz

The Cool LiteRunner-ECO is a standard PC/104 form factor carrier board for the CoreExpress®-ECO Advanced COM modules.
The CoreExpress®-ECO Advanced COM module is used as processing core, which is available with the Z510 or Z530 variant of the processor. This keeps the power consumption low and allows for passive cooling, using either a heat sink or a heat spreader/heat pipe combination.
The board comes with an interesting combination of interfaces. Among these are two Gigabit Ethernet ports, 2 SATA and 7 USB interfaces. It also features legacy interfaces like flexibly configurable serial ports, LPT and PS2, as well as 8 general purpose I/O signal pins that can be freely configured by the application.
Multi-media capabilities are provided with VGA and LVDS display connections and high definition audio interfaces, both digital and analog.
A μSD slot is available, which support bootable media; this eases software development and update -- only a tiny SD card needs to be changed. Even WLAN can be integrated, using the standard PCI Express Mini-Card slot.
The Cool LiteRunner-ECO 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

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 Cool LiteRunner-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
