1  Introduction

1.1  Description

Express-MV  is  a  COM  Express  compliant  module  specially  designed  to  facilitate  speedy
development  of  semi-custom  designs.  The  COM  Express  standard  embodies  the
convergence  of  the  latest  technology  standards  based  on  serial  differential  signaling  such  as
PCI Express, USB 2.0, SATA, LVDS and Serial DVO implemented on a compact, 95mm x
125mm,  Computer-on-Module.  Signals  are  brought  out  through  two  220-pin  board-to-board
connectors  that  permit  data  transmission  rates  of  up  to  5GHz.  Mounting  holes  connect  the
module  with  a  custom-made,  application  specific  carrier  boards  which  provide  protection
from shock and vibration.

The Express-MV combines a Penryn type Core™2 Duo CPU with Intel's
Mobile GS45 Express Chipset. The chipset consisting of GS45/ICH9M North-
and Southbridge supports up to 8 GB, dual channel DDR3 800/1066MHz
memory on two stacked SODIMM sockets.

The Mobile Intel® GS45 Express chipset integrates a Mobile
Intel®  Graphics  Media Accelerator  4500MHD  that  provides  CRT,
single/dual channel 24-bit LVDS and TV-out (SDTV and HDTV). The GMA
4500MHD  includes  support  for  DirectX  10,  Shader  Model  4.0,  and  provides  an

increase  in  performance  over  previous  chipsets.  Intel®  Clear  Video  Technology  together  with
HDCP support allows for smooth Blu-Ray playback. In addition to the onboard integrated
graphics, a PCI Express x16 graphics slot is available for connection to high end PCI Express
x16 graphics chipsets or general purpose x8, x4 or x1 PCI Express devices. The PCI Express
Graphics (PEG) x16 bus pinout can alternatively be used for 2 SDVO ports, two HDMI ports
or three display ports mode to connect to DVI, TMDS or TV-out device controllers.

The module comes with a single onboard Gigabit Ethernet port and four SATA ports. It has
optional legacy IDE support through a SATA-to-PATA controller, 32-bit PCI and LPC. The
module allows connection of up to five additional PCI Express x1 devices on the ICH8M
Southbridge.

The  Express-MV  comes  equipped  with  a AMIBIOS8  supporting  many  embedded  features
such as: remote console, CMOS backup, CPU and system monitoring and a watchdog timer
for NMI or RESET, operation over battery power, and extended power modes.

The Express-MV is a RoHS compliant
and lead-free product.

2.8  Power Specifications

(cid:102)

Input Power: AT mode (12 V) and ATX mode (12 V and 5 VSB)

(cid:102) Power Management: ACPI 3.0 compliant with battery support.

The 12V measurement is power to the module only (excluding carrier board
power draw). The 5Vsb measurement (in S3/S5 mode) includes both module
power  consumption  plus  active  5Vsb  powered  peripherals  (such  as  PS/2
and USB) on the carrier that are needed for wakeup. Although all voltages
were measured, only 12 V and 5 VSB are relevant because they are the
only  ones  used  by  the  Express  module.  The  Idle  power  level  was  measured  under  Windows
XP  with  no  applications  running  (login  screen).  Max  Load  was  measured  under  Windows  XP
running  Burnin  software  or  Kpower,  whichever  gave  the  highest  power  consumption.

6  Embedded Functions

All embedded board functions on ADLINK’s Computer on Modules are supported at the
operating system level using the ADLINK Intelligent Device Interface (AIDI) library. The AIDI API
programming interface is compatible and identical across all ADLINK Computer on Modules and
all supported operating systems. The AIDI library includes a demo program to demonstrate the
library’s functionallity.

6.1  Watchdog Timer

The Express-MV implements a Watchdog timer that can be used to
automatically detect software execution problems or system hangs and
reset the board if necessary. The Watchdog timer consists of a counter
that counts down from an initial value to zero. When the system is
operating normally, the software that sets the intial value periodically
resets the counter so that the it never reaches zero. If the counter
reaches zero before the software resets it, the system is presumed to be
malfunctioning and a reset signal is asserted.

The AIDI Library Watchdog functions support Watchdog control of the board. If the Watchdog
begins countdown and reaches zero, it will access the CPU's RESET signal to reset the system.
This application must call another function named AidiWDogTrigger that triggers the Watchdog to
restart to prevent system reset.

AIDI Demo Program
- Watchdog Tab

The AIDI Demo Program allows
retrieval of the current  Watchdog
status and updating of the
Watchdog settings

If the Watchdog is enabled, the
user can click the WDT Trigger
button to manually reset the
counter and prevent the system
from resetting

6.2  GPIO

GPIO library support is limited to GPIO signals that originate from the Computer on Module and
extended to the carrier board. COM Express modules support 4 GPO and 4 GPI signals. Some of
ADLINK’s COM Express boards can configure all 8 ports for GPI or GPO use.

GPIO signals can be monitored and controlled by using the ADLINK Intelligent Device Interface
(AIDI) library  that is compatible and identical across all ADLINK COM Express modules and all
supported operating systems.

The COM Express type II standard assigns the following pins for either GPI or GPO

allows reading of GPI and writing
to GPO.

The table above links logical port
numbers in AIDI to physical port
numbers on the COM Express
board-to-board connector.

For boards that support multi-
direction the “SetDirection” button
can configure the port for either
GPI or GPO

6.3  Hardware Monitoring

To ensure system health of your embedded system ADLINK’s COM Express modules come
with built in support for monitoring and control of CPU and system temperatures, fan speed
and critical module voltage levels.

The AIDI Library provides simple APIs at the application level to support these functions and
adds alarm functions when voltage or temperature levels exceeds the upper or lower limit set
by the user.

On the Express-MV the following monitored values can be read from the module:
CPU temperature, system temperature, Vcore, 1.8V, 5V, 3.3V and 12V.

AIDI Demo Program
- HW Monitor Tab

Field 1 displays detected sensors
(number).

Field 2 allows setting of upper and
lower alarm limits.

Field 3 displays read out
information of sensors.

CPU Configuration

CPU Configuration Settings

You can use this screen to select options for the CPU Configuration Settings. Use the up and
down < Arrow > keys to select an item. Use the < + > and < - > keys to change the value of
the selected option. A description of the selected item appears on the right side of the screen.
The settings are described on the following pages. An example of the CPU Configuration screen
is shown below.

Hardware Prefetcher

This  feature  is  used  for  reducing  the  waiting  time  of  DRAM.  The  hardware  prefetcher  looks
for streams of data and tries to predict what data will be needed next by the processor and
proactively tries to fetch these data.

Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch

This  feature  is  used  to  enable  optimal  use  of  sequential  memory  access  for  performance
purposes.  Disable  this  setting  for  applications  requiring  high  use  of  random  memory  access.

Max CPUID Value Limit

When the computer is boots, the operating system executes its CPUID instruction to identify
the processor and its capabilities. Before it can do so, it must first query the processor to find
out the highest input value the CPUID recognizes. This determines the kind of basic

Page 42

Express-MV  User’s Manual

information  CPUID  can  provide  the  operating  system.  This  option  allows  you  to  circumvent
problems with older operating systems.

When Enabled, the processor will limit the maximum CPUID input value to 03h when queried,
even if the processor supports a higher CPUID input value. When Disabled, the processor will
return the actual maximum CPUID input value of the processor when queried.

Intel Virtualization Tech.

Intel  Virtualization  Technology  consists  of  components  that  support  virtualization  of  platforms
based  on  Intel  processors,  thereby  enabling  the  running  of  multiple  operating  systems  and
applications  in  independent  partitions.  Each  partition  behaves  like  a  virtual  machine  (VM)
and  provides  isolation  and  protection  across  partitions.  Intel  VT  requires  the  use  of  a
processor  with  Intel  VT  support. Additionally,  a  third-party  VMM  may  also  be  required.

Execute Disable Bit

This  is  an  Intel  hardware-based  security  feature  that  can  help  reduce  system  exposure  to
viruses  and  malicious  code.  It  allows  the  processor  to  classify  areas  in  memory  where
application  code  can  or  cannot  execute.  When  a  malicious  worm  attempts  to  insert  code  in
the  buffer,  the  processor  disables  its  code  execution,  preventing  damage  and  worm
propagation. To use Execute Disable Bit you must have a PC or server with a processor with
Execute  Disable  Bit  capability  and  a  supporting  operating  system.

Core Multi-Processing

This item is visible depending on the CPU being used on the board. Multi-core capability of the
CPU is enabled/disabled by this setting if the CPU supports this feature.

Intel SpeedStep Tech.

This  option  enables  or  disables  Intel  SpeedStep  Technology.

Intel C-STATE Tech.

Intel  C-STATE  Technology  is  responsible  for  activating  the  processor’s  own  power
consumption management. It allows the CPU to save more power under idle mode.

Enhanced C-States

Enhanced C-states are available on newest mobile processors. When this option is enabled, the
CPU is automatically put into the lowest frequency/voltage mode when it enters a given C-state.

MPS Revision

It specifies the version of the Multi-Processor Specification (MPS) that the CPU board will
use. 1.4 is the suggestion.

Internal Graphics Mode Select

Select the amount of system memory which is used by internal graphics device.

DVMT Mode Select

Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) is a concept whereby system memory is shared by both CPU
and graphics processor. While this reduces cost, it also reduces the system's performance by
taking up a large portion of memory for the graphics processor. Intel's Dynamic Video Memory
Technology  (DVMT)  takes  that  concept  further  by  allowing  the  system  to  dynamically  allocate
memory resources according to the demands of the system at any point in time. The key idea in
DVMT is to improve the efficiency of the memory allocated to either system or graphics processor.

When set to Fixed Mode, the graphics driver will reserve a fixed portion of the system
memory as graphics memory. When set to DVMT Mode, the graphics chip will dynamically
allocate  system  memory  as  graphics  memory,  according  to  system  and  graphics

requirements.  When  set  to  Combo  Mode,  the  graphics  driver  will  allocate  a  fixed  amount  of
memory as dedicated graphics memory, as well as allow more system memory to be
dynamically  allocated  between  the  graphics  processor  and  the  operating  system.

DVMT/FIXED Memory

Sets the amount of memory according to DVMT Mode Select.

PAVP Mode

PAVP (Protected Audio Video Path) is a feature to ensure a robust and secure content
protection  path  for  high-definition  video  playback  including  Blu-ray  discs  on  the  Microsoft
Windows  Vista  operating  system.  It  can  reduce  processor  utilization  by  off-loading  the  video
decode onto the chipset to free up the processor to perform other tasks. Select Lite mode if

9  BIOS Checkpoints, Beep Codes

This section of this document lists checkpoints and beep codes generated by AMIBIOS. The
checkpoints defined in this document are inherent to the AMIBIOS generic core, and do not
include any chipset or board specific checkpoint definitions.

Checkpoints and Beep Codes Definition

A checkpoint is either a byte or word value output to I/O port 80h. The BIOS outputs checkpoints
throughout bootblock and Power-On Self Test (POST) to indicate the task the system is currently
executing. Checkpoints are very useful for debugging problems that occur during the preboot process.

Beep codes are used by the BIOS to indicate a serious or fatal error. They are used when an error
occurs before the system video has been initialized, and generated by the system board speaker.

Viewing BIOS Checkpoints

Viewing all checkpoints generated by the BIOS requires a checkpoint card, also referred to as a
“POST Card” or “POST Diagnostic Card”. These are ISA or PCI add-in cards that show the value
of I/O port 80h on a LED display.

Some computers  display checkpoints in the bottom right corner of the screen during POST. This
display method is limited, since it only displays checkpoints that occur after the video card has
been activated.

Keep in mind that not all computers using AMIBIOS enable this feature. In most cases, a
checkpoint card is the best tool for viewing AMIBIOS checkpoints.

Initialize different buses and perform the following functions: Reset, Detect, and Disable
(function 0); Static Device Initialization (function 1); Boot Output Device Initialization (function 2).
Function 0 disables all device nodes, PCI devices, and PnP ISA cards. It also assigns PCI bus
numbers. Function 1 initializes all static devices that include manual configured onboard
peripherals, memory and I/O decode windows in PCI- PCI bridges, and noncompliant PCI
devices. Static resources are also reserved. Function 2 searches for and initializes any PnP,
PCI, or AGP video devices.
Initialize different buses and perform the following functions: Boot Input Device Initialization
(function 3); IPL Device Initialization (function 4); General Device Initialization (function 5).
Function 3 searches for and configures PCI input devices and detects if system has standard
keyboard controller. Function 4 searches for and configures all PnP and PCI boot devices.
Function 5 configures all onboard peripherals that are set to an automatic configuration and
configures all remaining PnP and PCI devices.

While control is in the different functions, additional checkpoints are output to port 80h as a
word value to identify the routines under execution. The low byte value indicates the main
POST Code Checkpoint. The high byte is divided into two nibbles and contains two fields. The
details of the high byte of these checkpoints are as follows:
