o One x1 Mini PCIe Slot (J7W1)

The PCI Express* implementation complies with the PCI Express* Rev. 1.0a specification.

The evaluation board provides one PCI Express* Mini Card form factor slot, and three standard slots of different widths. These slots by default all support x1 devices, while SLOT 2 supports both x1 devices and custom designed x2 devices. In addition to this default configuration, two more options are possible with rework. See Appendix D for details.

3.3.6 Soft Audio/Soft Modem

High Definition Soft Audio/Soft Modem functionality can be enabled through the Mott Canyon 4 daughter card. The evaluation board does not come with an on board Intel® HD Audio codec. The Mott Canyon 4 card is required to enable the High Definition Audio functionality. See Appendix A for more information on the Mott Canyon 4 card.

3.3.7 SATA Storage

The evaluation board provides three SATA connections. One slot is a direct connect type (J2K1), while the other two are standard data connectors (J1H1, J1G1).

3.3.8 PATA Storage

The evaluation board provides only one desktop, 40-pin, PATA66/100 connector (J4K2) that supports master and slave devices.

3.3.9 USB Connectors

The Intel® 82801HM I/O Controller provides ten USB 2.0 ports.

Four ports are routed to the back panel‘s two stacked USB connectors. USB ports [1:0] and [3:2] are routed to the back of the chassis.

Ports [5:4] and [7:6] are routed to the front panel headers (J1E4, J1D1) – See Section 5.7.3.

Port 8 is connected to the Mini PCIe slot (J7W1) on the bottom of the board.

Port 9 is not used on this board.

3.3.11 Super I/O (SIO)

The Windbond/Nuvoton* WPCD374L SIO (U2F1) serves as multifunction controller for various I/O and power management functions. This controller supports:

Two PS/2 ports (one for mouse, the other for keyboard)

Glue logic

Two serial ports (only one used)

Power sequencing control

3.3.12 EFI SPI Flash Device

A SOIC socket (U4C2) houses the 16-Mbit flash device (P/N# SST25VF016B) that stores the system EFI firmware. The EFI firmware may be programmed through a Microsoft MS-DOS* or Windows*-based utility (See Section 6.3 for details), through the SPI header (J5D1), or externally with proper hardware.

3.3.13 Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Header

The evaluation board implements a header at J1A1 to support TPM 1.2 specification compliant devices.

3.3.14 Clocks

The board uses a CK505 based clock generator in addition to a DB403 clock solution.The BSEL [2:1] signals driven by the processor are used by the CK505 based clock generator to set the internal FSB frequency. The DB403 based clock generator provides additional 100MHz clocks for PCIe ports.

3.3.15 Real Time Clock

An on-board battery maintains power to the real time clock (RTC) when in a mechanical off state (G3 state).

3.3.16 In-Target Probe (ITP) and Debug Support

The board provides on-board ITP support with an XDP connector. Users can debug from the reset vector without EFI or OS dependency (up to OS functionality).


Doc. # 323431-001 25

Port 80 is also provided as a troubleshooting tool to monitor POST output during firmware execution. See AMI‘s Aptio* site for details of these status codes - http://www.ami.com/aptio/.

3.3.17 Power Supply Solution

The board can be powered from an ATX power supply (desktop solution) that contains all of the voltage regulators necessary to power the system up.

Note: Use an ―ATX12V‖ 2.01 specification compliant power supply regardless of supplier or wattage level. For example, the Sparkle Model No. FSP460-60GLC meets this requirement.

Note: The recommended way to shut down the board is to press and hold the power button switch (S4J1) for 5 seconds until the power supply turns off. Using the power supply switch or pulling the plug out of the wall is not recommended.

Note: If the power switch on the ATX power supply is used to shut down the system, wait at least 5 seconds before turning the system on again.

3.3.18 Board Size

The reference board form factor is similar to the µATX 9.6 x 9.6 inch (243.84 x 243.84 mm) specification. The back panel jacks may not conform to ATX specifications.

short pin 2 to pin 3), etc. When no jumper cap is to be placed on the jumper, it is

designated as OPEN.

Note: VID Override Jumper settings are shown in Appendix B for IMVP6 (Mobile parts) and Appendix C for VR11 (Desktop Parts).


Doc. # 323431-001 35

5.4.2 Manual VID Support for CPU

The board supports manual VID operation for the processor‘s VR as a test and debug feature. A header (J9C1) is provided to incorporate the ―VID override‖ functionality. VID override allows for overriding the CPU VID outputs from the CPU to control the VR output voltage. When pins 15-16 are shorted, the header‘s remaining pins determine the VID. The intent of the ―VID override‖ circuit is to enable debugging and testing.

If using Intel® Atom™ Processor N450 see Appendix B for the IMVP VID code table, and verify VID‘s never exceed the maximum rating specified in the Intel® Atom™ Processor N450 Datasheet.

If using Intel® Atom™ Processor D410/D510 see Appendix C for the VR11 VID code table, and verify VID‘s never exceed the maximum rating specified in the Intel® Atom™ Processor D410/D510 Datasheet.

See Table 9 for VID jumper details. Finally, see Figure 6 for the location of the manual VID jumpers.

Note: When manually overriding the VID outputs, an open jumper position will result in logic ‗1‘ on the corresponding VID signal. Closing the jumper position will result in logic ‗0‘ on the corresponding VID signal.

5.5 Power On and Reset Push Buttons

The Evaluation board has two pushbuttons, POWER and RESET. The POWER button releases power to the entire board and signals the board to boot. The RESET button forces all systems to warm reset.

The two buttons are located near the PATA connector. The POWER button is located at S4J1 and the RESET button is located at S3K1. See Figure 4 for the general location of these buttons. A front panel header is also provided to extend this functionality. See Section 5.7.2 for details.

6.3 Firmware Updates

To update the EFI image in DOS to a newer release, use the EFI binary image and a BIOS update utility. One utility that can be used is the AFUDOS BIOS update utility, also referred to as a ―BIOS flash utility‖, with a command line interface for MS-DOS. This utility is available through AMI and can be accessed here.

Getting Started:

Copy the AFUDOS.EXE executable file to any storage location accessible by the host system and then run AFUDOS in a DOS environment command prompt.

Basic Usage:

AFUDOS CMCKXXXX.ROM /P /C (XXXX is the BIOS version to be flashed)

Program main BIOS image, reset CMOS to defaults

AFUDOS ROMFILE.ROM /P /B /N /C

Program main BIOS image & bootblock image

Reset CMOS and NVRAM to defaults

EFI firmware updates can be found on the Intel® Validation Internet Portal (VIP) – https://platformsw.intel.com.

Note: Afudos.exe comes in two versions, one for legacy BIOS update and one for EFI BIOS update. These two versions are not cross compatible. Using afudos.exe for legacy BIOS to update an EFI BIOS will generate an error message such as memory error. Please make sure to download the latest afudos.exe for EFI BIOS to update the evaluation board. AMI‘s EFI BIOS is called AMI Aptio.

Figure 9. Mott Canyon 4 Interposer Card

A.1.1 Jumper Settings

The Mott Canyon 4 Interposer card can select either Primary or Secondary Intel® HD Audio functionality for MDC0 and MDC1 connectors with two jumper options, J16 and J25.

In Intel® HD Audio mode, MDC0 is designed to house the primary codec (usually audio but could be modem if there is no audio) and if necessary, MDC1 is designed to house the modem codec. MDC2 supports an Intel® HD Audio modem-only codec.

Intel® 82801HM I/O Controller supports up to two SDATA_IN channels (0, 1). Two jumpers, J27 and J28 are used to select the appropriate SDATA_IN channels for each of the MDCs. Be aware that SDATA_IN channels 1 and 2 can be also overridden through jumpers on the evaluation platform. If either SDATA_IN1 or SDATA_IN2 are not shunted properly on the evaluation platform, these lines are not available to the Mott Canyon 4 Interposer card. Proper operation of the Intel® HD Audio interface requires that only one SDATA_IN line is routed to one codec at a time.

Flexibility has been designed into the implementation of the PCI Express* slots on the board. While the Intel® 82801HM I/O Controller supports six x1 links, there are only three conventional PCIe slots and one Mini PCIe slot as shown above. By default, each slot is capable of at least x1 operation. Slot 2 is also capable of x2 (not a standard PCIe width - for custom PCIe implementations) by default. But there are two more configurations possible: one that disables Slot 4 and allows x2 operation on Slot 3 in addition to Slot 2, another that disables Slot 4 and Slot 3, and allows x4 operation on Slot 2. See Figure 4 for physical slot locations.

Note: Use this section in conjunction with the board schematics and silk screen.

Table 17. PCIe Slot Configurations

Configuration Slot 2 Slot 3 Slot 4

1 x4

2 x2 x1 x1

3 x2 x2

Note: Configuration 2 is the shipping default.

Slot flexibility is achieved by routing some PCIe lanes from the ICH to more than one slot. Of course one lane can‘t be used by two slots at the same time, so resistors are used to populate one route or another.

In order to simplify the configurations conceptually, each route‘s resistors are specified as a group. Table 18 shows these groups and specifies the default groups that are populated or not (empty) to implement Configuration 2. Below is a table linking groups to configurations.

1 Populated Empty Empty Empty

2 Empty Populated Populated Empty

3 Empty Populated Empty Populated

Note: 0-Ω 0603 resistors should be used.

Once routes are configured accordingly, the Intel® 82801HM I/O Controller needs to know which configuration is used. Two straps located on the otherwise unrelated HD Audio interface tell the Intel® 82801HM I/O Controller which configuration it should expect. The straps consist of two 8.2kΩ 0402 resistors tied to +3.3V (VCC3P3_PS). See Table 19 for details.

Appendix E Development Kit Chassis

Features

E.1 External Feature Locations

This section describes the features and use of the chassis and components provided with the development kit. This chassis and its modifications directly support the Intel® Atom™ Processor N450, D410 and D510 with the Intel® 82801HM I/O Controller board.

Quick Start

Doc. # 323431-001 59

E.1.1 Front of Chassis

The Front of the chassis offers a power button, reset button, disk activity LED, four USB access ports, and access to the CD/DVD ROM.

Note: The 1394 and Audio ‘97 connectors on the chassis are not connected to the board and hence the Front Panel Audio Jacks as well as the IEEE 1397 connectors are non functional.

Figure 11. Front of Chassis

Quick Start

60 Doc. # 323431-001

E.1.2 Rear of Chassis

The rear of the chassis has the AC power plug, ATX power switch, as well as access to the board‘s back panel connectors (see Section 5.3.1) including serial, PS/2, LAN, and USB ports.

Figure 12. Rear of Chassis

Quick Start

Doc. # 323431-001 61

E.2 Internal Components

All included hardware is located inside the development kit Chassis. The board is connected to a removable plate. The ATX power supply sits in the rear ATX power supply cradle, while the hard drive and CD/DVD ROM sit in the cradles across from it. Both hard drive and DVD/ROM are connected to the board with SATA cables. The Mott Canyon 4 card with Azalia* HD Audio is connected and installed in PCI slots 3 & 4. There are also cables connecting the front panel buttons and connectors to the board.

Note: The Mott Canyon 4 Card is only inserted into the PCIe slots 3&4 for support. It does not have an electrical connection to the PCIe slots.

Figure 13. Internal Components of Development Kit

E.3 Accessing the Board

The chassis has a unique feature that allows the motherboard to be removed from the chassis while maintaining most connections and operability. Please follow the steps below.

Remove the black chassis side panels. This can be done by unscrewing the screws along the edge of the on the back side of the chassis and then sliding off each panel.

Unscrew, un-connect, and remove any and all PCIe cards.

62 Doc. # 323431-001

The motherboard is connected to a tray. This tray is removable once the tray screw has been removed. The tray screw is located on the back of the chassis beside the I/O panel. Unscrew this screw.

Figure 14. Motherboard Tray Removal

Once the tray screw has been removed, slide the tray towards the front of the chassis and then pull it out away from the chassis.
