Introduction 5

2.2 The MOPS Family

MOPS (Minimized Open PC System) PC/104 products represent the “Proven PC Platform for Instant

Solutions." Each MOPS module is characterized by the same pin out for the keyboard, COM1 and

COM2, 44-pin IDE, LPT, and 1

LAN.

These homogeneous features facilitate easy upgrades within the Kontron Embedded Modules

GmbH MOPS PC/104 product family.

Whenever a LCD panel is required, MOPS products with onboard graphics controllers serve as the

right choice. Display connections are simplified when using these units, which come with a

JUMPtec Intelligent LVDS Interface (JILI) and a JUMPtec Intelligent Panel Adapter (JIPA)

interface. The two interfaces can recognize which display is connected and then independently set

all video parameters. These interfaces are not available on all MOPS products.

T-MOPSlcdSA provides a CRT output only but it can easily connect to a TFT by i.e. CRTtoLCD-5. More

information can be obtained under the following product link to Kontron website:

All MOPS-PC/104 are plug-and-work enabled to further reduce time-to-market.

As part of the standard features package, all MOPS PC/104 modules come with a JUMPtec

Intelligent Device Architecture (JIDA) interface, which is integrated into the BIOS of the PC/104

modules. This interface enables hardware-independent access to the MOPS-PC/104 features that

cannot be accessed via standard APIs. Functions such as watchdog timer, brightness and contrast

of LCD backlight, and user bytes in the EEPROM can be configured with ease by taking advantage of

this standard MOPS PC/104 module feature.

All MOPS PC/104 products can be controlled remotely by using JRC software through a serial port.

The software allows you to change, update, and maintain the MOPS products from a host computer

via a serial connection.
