# 1 Introduction

# 1.1 Overview

Featuring the latest Intel® Atom™ E3845 Quad-core processor, the Matrix MXC-2300 series excels with minimal power consumption, exceptional 3D graphics, and powerful media acceleration, delivering leading improvements in performance and cost-efficiency over any previous generation Atom-based system.

Including dual-port CAN connectivity supported by a Phillips SJA1000 controller that can run independently or bridged at the same time, bus arbitration and error detection with auto-correction and re-transmission capability, and 16-CH isolated DI/O for general industrial control, the MXC-2300 features an increased total 3PCI/PCIe expansion slot count, supporting installation of a variety of off-the-shelf PCI/PCIe cards for configurable applications, and an internal PCI Express Mini Card socket and USIM slot support extension of additional functions, such as wireless connection.

In addition, the MXC-2300series offers one DisplayPort and one DVI-I port for dual independent display with full HD over HDMI, four USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0 ports, and 2 GbE LAN ports with teaming function.

With ADLINK's proprietary SEMA (Smart Embedded Management Agent) tool, the MXC-2300 maximizes manageability and security for a world of applications, providing efficient remote monitoring of system activity and health in real time, system control over a robust secured channel, and fully manageable complete utilization of system resources.

With ruggedized architecture, flexibility, and rich I/O capacity, the MXC-2300's minimal power consumption, abundant features, and leading performance and cost-efficiency make it the embedded system of choice for industrial automation, facility management, and intelligent transportation systems and applications demanding reliability in harsh environments.

Superimposed over the document is a large, bold red checkmark, indicating approval, verification, or completion. The entire icon is enclosed within a black square border.](.mxc-2300-50-1z159-1000-200-y151008-en/e9152717ab7e4d2ff7b3409318d565d10c39119a0c0b9a9cdd5f8bdacfa97a6c.jpg)
NOTE:

Information in this Appendix is for power budget planning and design purposes only. Actual power consumption may differ based on final application.

# A.1 Power Consumption Reference

Power consumption as follows is based on lab data in which 24V DC is applied and current is measured by the DC power supply. The power consumption (W) is calculated as the product of applied voltage (V) and the current (A).

Platforms tested for this data have available external I/O interfaces, and are attached to supported devices such as VGA and DVI monitors, CFast card, PS2 keyboard/mouse, USB dummy load (5VDC 500mA), external SATA, COM loopback, and audio loopback, and an internal hard disk driver is installed.

No internal PCI/PCIe/mini PCIe slots are occupied.

Information is presented for reference only. Actual power consumption will vary with different attached devices and platform operations.

▶ Sufficient power supply for the entire system is required to meet these specifications. At least 100W at 24V input is recommended.
▶ Heat generated by add-on PCI/PCIe adapters affects thermal stability. Additional heat dissipation is required when the system operates at high temperatures or in harsh environments with add-on adapters.
▶ Power supply specifications shown are for total power consumption of all PCI/PCIe slots at once, not for single slot use.

# Appendix B BIOS Setup

The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is a program that provides a basic level of communication between the processor and peripherals. In addition, the BIOS also contains codes for various advanced features applied to the MXC-2300. The BIOS setup program includes menus for configuring settings and enabling features of the MXC-2300. Most users do not need to use the BIOS setup program, as the MXC-2300 ships with default settings that work well for most configurations.

Enter BIOS setup by selecting DEL when the system is powered on the POST (Power On Self Test) message is displayed. The MXC-2300 controller supports one-time Boot Menu allowing selection of boot device. Enter the Boot Menu by selecting F7 at POST.

# Appendix C Watchdog Timer (WDT) Function Library

This appendix describes use of the watchdog timer (WDT) function library for the MXC-2300 controller. The watchdog timer is a hardware mechanism provided to reset the system if the operating system or an application stalls. After starting, the watchdog timer in the application must be periodically reset before the timer expires. Once the watchdog timer expires, a hardware-generated signal is sent to reset the system.

# C.1 WDT with API/Windows

Matrix WDT API library files and a demo program (incl. source code) can be found on the included driver CD or downloaded from http://www.adlinktech.com.

To use the WDT function library for MXC-2300, include the header file WDT.h and linkage library WDT.lib in the C++ project.

# InitWDT

Initializes the watchdog timer function. Must be called before the invocation of any other WDT function.

# Syntax

C/C++

BOOL InitWDT()

# Parameters

None

# Return codes

TRUE if watchdog timer is successfully initialized.

FALSE if watchdog timer fails to initialize.

# SetWDT

Sets the timeout value of the watchdog timer. There are two parameters for this function to indicate the timeout ticks and unit. ResetWDT or StopWDT should be called before the expiration of watchdog timer, or the system will reset.

# Syntax

C/C++

BOOL SetWDT(BYTE tick, BYTE unit)

# Parameters

tick

Specify the number of ticks for watchdog timer. A valid value is 1 - 255.

unit

Specifies the timeout ticks of the watchdog timer.

<table><tr><td>Value</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>0</td><td>The unit for one tick is one second. For example, when one tick is specified as 100 and the unit as 0, the timeout value is 100 seconds.</td></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>The unit for one tick is one minute. For example, whenone tick is specified as 100 and the unit as 1, the timeout value is 100 minutes.</td></tr></table>

# Return codes

TRUE if timeout value of watchdog timer is successfully set.

FALSE if timeout value of watchdog timer is failed to set.

# StartWDT

Start the watchdog timer function. Once the StartWDT is invoked, the watchdog timer starts. ResetWDT or StopWDT should be called before the expiration of watchdog timer, or the system will reset.

# Syntax

C/C++

BOOL StartWDT()

# Parameters

None

# Return codes

TRUE if watchdog timer is successfully started.

FALSE if watchdog timer is failed to start.

# ResetWDT

Reset the watchdog timer. The invocation of ResetWDT allows restoration of the watchdog timer to the initial timeout value specified in SetWDT function. ResetWDT or StopWDT should be called before the expiration of the watchdog timer, or the system will reset.

# Syntax

C/C++

BOOL ResetWDT()

# Parameters

None

# Return codes

TRUE if watchdog timer is successfully reset.

FALSE if watchdog timer fails to reset.

# StopWDT

Stops the watchdog timer.

# Syntax

C/C++

BOOL StopWDT()

# Parameters

None

# Return codes

TRUE if watchdog timer is successfully stopped.

FALSE if watchdog timer fails to stop.

# C.2 WDT with DOS/Linux

Under Linux, please program WDT function using the same LPC IO registers according to the sample program as follows.

```c
#include &lt;dos.h&gt;
