Chapter 3 Hardware NOTE ADLINK Technology, Inc. only supports the features and options listed in this manual. The main components used on the CoreModule 720 may provide more features or options than are listed in this manual. Some of these features and options are not supported on the module and will not function as specified in the chip documentation. The pin-out tables only of non-standard headers and connectors are included in this chapter.
Chapter 3 Hardware Interrupt Channel Assignments The interrupt channel assignments are shown in Table 3-1. Table 3-1. Interrupt Channel Assignments Device vs IRQ No.
Chapter 3 Hardware I/O Address Map Table 3-3 shows the I/O address map. These are DOS-level addresses. The OS typically hides these physical addresses by way of memory management. Table 3-3.
Chapter 3 Hardware Serial Interfaces The CoreModule 720 provides four RS-232 serial ports. The PCH EG20T contains the circuitry for all four serial ports and delivers the signals through two RS-232 transceivers: one transceiver for port COM0 and the second transceiver for ports COM1, COM2, and COM3.
Chapter 3 Hardware Table 3-5 describes the pin signals of the serial 2 header (J11), which consists of 10 pins, two rows, odd/even (1, 2) pin sequence, and 0.079" (2mm) pitch Table 3-5. Serial 2 (COM1, 2, and 3) Interface Pin Signal Descriptions (J11) Pin # Signal DB9 Pin # Description 1 S1_TXD 3 COM1 Transmit Data – Serial port transmit data output is typically held to a logic 1 when no data is being sent.

Table 3-7 describes the pin signals of the USB2 and USB3 header, which consists of 10 pins in two rows, with odd/even (1, 2) pin sequence, and 0.079" (2mm) pitch. Table 3-7.
Chapter 3 Hardware Ethernet Interface The CoreModule 720 supports one Gigabit Ethernet interface. The Ethernet interface is implemented from the 82574IT Ethernet controller and provides one GLAN interface, which occupies PCI Express port 2. The Ethernet function supports multi-speed operation at 10/100/1000 Mbps and operates in full-duplex at all supported speeds or half duplex at 10/100 Mbps while adhering to the IEEE 802.3x flow control specification.
Chapter 3 Hardware Video (SDVO/LVDS) Interfaces The Atom™ E6XXT CPU provides an integrated 2D/3D graphics engine, which supports video decode such as MPEG2, MPEG4, VC1, WMV9, H.264 (main, baseline at L3 and High-profile level 4.0/4.1), and DivX* as well as video encode such as MPEG4, H.264 (baseline at L3), and VGA. The CPU supports LVDS and SDVO display ports, permitting simultaneous, independent operation of two displays. The video interface features are listed in the following bullets.

SDVO Interface Pin Signals (J15) (Continued) Pin # Signal Description 20 SDVO_I2C_CLK I2C control signal (Clock) for SDVO device 21 SDVO_I2C_DAT I2C control signal (Data) for SDVO device 22 RESET Reset signal 23 +3.3V_1 +3.3 Volt Power 1 24 +2.5V +2.5 Volt Power 25 +5V_1 +5 Volt Power 1 26 GND8 Ground 8 27 SDVO_TVCLKIN- SDVO TV-Out Synchronization Clock Input - Negative 28 SDVO_TVCLKIN+ SDVO TV-Out Synchronization Clock Input - Positive 29 +3.
Chapter 3 Hardware Power Interface The CoreModule 720 requires one +5 volt DC power source and provides a shrouded 10-pin, right-angle header with 2 rows, odd/even pin sequence (1, 2), and 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. If the +5VDC power drops below ~4.65V, a low voltage reset is triggered, resetting the system. The power input header (J19) supplies the following voltage and ground directly to the module: • 5.0VDC +/- 5% Table 3-12.
Chapter 3 Hardware Utility Interface The Utility interface provides three I/O signals on the module and consists of a 5-pin, 0.100" (2.54mm), single-row header (J22). The E6XXT CPU drives the Power Button and Speaker signals on the Utility interface. A separate Power Management microprocessor drives the Reset Switch signal. Table 3-14 provides the signal definitions.
Chapter 3 Hardware System Management Bus (SMBus) The E6XXT chip contains a host SMBus port. The host port allows the CPU access to the SMBus slave through header, J24. The SMBus slave includes the CPU Temperature Monitor. Table 3-15 lists the device name and corresponding reserved binary address on the SMBus. Table 3-16 lists the SMBus pin signals on 5 pins, 1 row, 0.079" (2mm) pitch. Table 3-15. SMBus Reserved Addresses Component Address (Hex) CPU Temperature Monitor 4C Table 3-16.
Chapter 3 Hardware I2C Interface The CoreModule 720 provides a single-channel I2C interface, which conforms to version 2.1 of the I2C bus specification. The I2C controller resides on the EG20T PCH and operates as a master or slave device, supporting a multi-master bus. The following list highlights the features of the I2C bus interface.
Chapter 3 Hardware Battery Table 3-20 lists the pin signals of the External Battery Input header for backup RTC (Real Time Clock), which uses 2 pins with 0.049" (1.25mm) pitch. Table 3-20. External Battery Input Header (J20) Pin # Signal Description 1 VBAT_EXT +3.0 volts DC 2 GND Ground Note: The shaded table cells denote power or ground. The RTC pin has an expected current draw of ~36A at room temperature. The battery is used only when power is not applied to the board.
Chapter 3 Hardware Oops! Jumper (BIOS Recovery) The Oops! jumper function is provided in the event the BIOS settings you have selected prevent you from booting the system. By using the Oops! jumper you can prevent the current BIOS settings in flash from being loaded, allowing you to boot using default settings. Use a jumper to connect the DTR pin (4) to the RI pin (9) on Serial Port 1 (COM0) prior to boot up to prevent the present BIOS settings from loading.
Chapter 3 Hardware Watchdog Timer The Watchdog Timer (WDT) restarts the system if a mishap occurs, ensuring proper start up after the interruption. Possible problems include failure to boot properly, the application software’s loss of control, failure of an interface device, unexpected conditions on the bus, or other hardware or software malfunctions. The WDT (Watchdog Timer) can be used both during the boot process and during normal system operation.
