MTBF MTBF at 25°C 248.283 hours In order to perform a failure rate assessment, several assumptions have to be made to minimize the complexity of the analysis. Basis for the calculation was „Parts-Stress" method according to MIL-HDBK-217 F Notice 2. Although this method requires stress values for all components, mean stress values have been used. Environmental factor „Ground Benign" according to MIL-HDBK-217 has been used as well as an environmental temperature of 25 °C.

3.29 LEMT functions The onboard Microcontroller implements power sequencing and LEMT (LiPPERT Enhanced Management Technology) functionality. The microcontroller communicates via the System Management Bus with the CPU/Chipset. The following functions are implemented: • Total operating hours counter Counts the number of hours the module has been run in minutes. • On-time minutes counter Counts the seconds since last system start. • Temperature monitoring of CPU and Board temperature Min. and max.
4 Using the Module 4.1 BIOS The Hurricane LX800 is delivered with a standard PC BIOS. The default setting guarantees a “ready to run” system, even without a BIOS setup backup battery. If the user wants to change settings, pressing the key on power up accesses the setup utility. The BIOS is located in a flash PROM and can be easily updated on board with software under DOS. All changes in the setup of the BIOS are stored in the CMOS RAM of the real time clock.
The System Clock / PLL menu allows configuring the multipliers for CPU clock and Geode Link (DDR RAM) clock. Base clock is 33MHz. Note: CPU Multipliers above 15 (500Mhz) may seriously damage the CPU! The Drive Configuration menu allows configuring the settings for the IDE controller. Hard Drive Setting Choice 80-Conductor Cable Sense GPIO05, NONE, Force 40, Force 80 Drive Modes Auto, PIO0, PIO1, PIO2, PIO3, PIO4, MDMA0, MDMA1, MDMA2, UDMA0, UDMA1, UDMA2, UDMA3, UDMA4 TME-EPIC-HURLX-R3V5.
Settings for serial and parallel ports can be made in Serial and Parallel Port Configuration. Note: Do not forget the termination jumpers when switching to RS485 mode. The Power Management menu gives control over supported power down modes. TME-EPIC-HURLX-R3V5.docx Rev 3.
Miscellaneous Configuration controls various other features. Enter Graphics Configuration for changing the display settings. TME-EPIC-HURLX-R3V5.docx Rev 3.
ISA I/O and Memory Configuration allows setting the board’s ISA memory and I/O map. By default the following I/O and Memory Ranges are mapped to ISA and NOT accessible for other devices any more: I/O: Range-0: 100h-17Fh Range-1: 180h-1BFh Range-2: 1C0h-1DFh Range-3: 200h-27Fh Range-4: 300h-33Fh Range-5: 340h-35Fh Memory: Range-0: C8000h-CFFFFh Range-1: D0000h-DFFFFh If a PCI device (e.g.
PCI Configuration allows settings for IRQ steering and various PCI devices. Note: If you have an external ISA card that needs e.g. IRQ 5, PCI Interrupt steering must be configured in a way that none of the PCI INTs is steered to IRQ 5. In this example it would be possible to steer PCI INTC# to IRQ 10. GPIO6 can be made available under GPIO Setting. TME-EPIC-HURLX-R3V5.docx Rev 3.
The Boot Order menu specifies the order in which the BIOS tries the various mass memory devices for a bootable operating system. Some safety features can be found under Thermal and Watchdog Configuration. TME-EPIC-HURLX-R3V5.docx Rev 3.
Trouble Shooting BIOS Settings It may happen that the BIOS is configured in a way that the Hurricane-LX800 does not start at all. To repair this, the default values of the BIOS can be automatically loaded at boot time. To load these, the power must be switched on and off again within 2 seconds. This sequence must be repeated 5 times, then the default values get loaded by the BIOS.
4.3 Programming GPIO Signals The Hurricane LX800 provides 26 General Purpose Input/Output signals (GPIOs) that are part of the ITE8712 SuperIO. These can be programmed either as input or output. Their output voltage is 5V, a 40 Kohm internal pullup resistor is optional enabled by software. They GPIOs are located in Logical Device 7 of the SuperIO and can be accessed easily with the SuperIO’s ‘simple IO’ function using port accesses.
4.4 Handling Of Analog Inputs To activate all analog inputs of the Hurricane-LX800, reset the Super I/Os Extended 2 Multifunction Pin selection register 2Ch, bits 0 and 1 only. The register is located in Logical Device 07h. The values can be read back using index/data port 295h/296h of the LPC Bus. The registers are located at addresses 20h...27h (SIO_ADC0...SIO_ADC7). Enable scan of these pins by writing FFh to register 50h of the LPC Bus.
4.6 PWM Outputs Programming the PWM outputs works the same way as using GPIOs or Analog inputs. Enter configuration mode and switch to logical device 7 (via 2Eh/2Fh).
5 Address Maps This section describes the layout of the CPU memory and I/O address spaces. Note Depending on enabled or disabled functions in the BIOS, other or more resources may be used 5.
5.2 I/O Address Map The system chip set implements a number of registers in I/O address space.
