[edit] APC-6410 Embedded ARM/XSCALE Computer Family

APC embedded ARM/XSCALE computers are a new concept, reliable, low power and powerful embedded ARM11 core based 3.5" SBC family of Embedian. Every attempt is made to make it easy to use and like the experiences in x86 compatible SBC systems.

Usually, users only need to re-compile the original source code.

APC-6410 SBCs are based on the newest Samsung S3C6410 ARM1176JZF-S core processor clocking at 667Mhz (533Mhz is also available) that integrated Multi Format Codec (MFC) co-processor supports encoding and decoding of MPEG4/H.263/H.264 and decoding of VC1. It is also in industrial standard 3.5" form factor. The H/W Encoder/Decoder supports real-time video conferencing and TV out for both NTSC and PAL mode. Additional graphic 3D engine is a 3D Graphics Hardware Accelerator which can accelerate OpenGL ES 1.1 & 2.0 rendering.

APC-6410 features state of the art technology, aiming at low power systems that require high CPU performance. They also provide all the interfaces needed in a modern embedded device. APC-6410 SBCs provide glueless connectivity to passive and active LCDs/LVDS with resolutions of up to 1024x768, as well as 4-wire resistive touch screens. In addition, APC-6410 offers four USB host interfaces, USB 2.0 OTG port, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface, six RS232 interfaces, TV-in interface, CF slot interface, SATA interface, AC97 Audio jack, SPI interface, and TV-out interface. The full function makes system integrators and manufacturers flexible in designing their product line to make the products fast time to market and profit. It can be applied to the general-purposed embedded application or multimedia-related embedded application by taking advantages of the MFC co-processor. With Linux and Windows CE 6.0 supported, users can easily migrate their original application from other platform or develop a new application on this platform.

APC-6410 SBCs provide glueless connectivity to passive and active LCDs with resolutions of up to 1024x768, as well as 4-wire resistive touch screens. An integrated 16 bit stereo codec allows to play and record audio. In addition, APC-6410 offers 10/100 Mbps Ethernet as well as USB host and USB device functionality.

• +5V AT/ATX power or
• +5V DC +(-)5%

APC-6400 series embedded ARM/XSCALE computer boards are equipped with +5V DC only. (+5V AT/ATX power supply or +5V DC power

supply). If users use AT/ATX power supply, it only requires +5V. The voltages +12V, -12V and –5V are not required to operate

the APC-6410 series SBC, but might need for other external devices. APC-6410 series SBC also provides with a +12 V bypass

connection to backlight inverter board controller or other devices that need +12V.

[edit] Supply Voltage Ripple

100mV peak to peak 0 - 20MHz

[edit] Supply Current (Typical)

APC-6410 SBC is a low power consumption embedded computer. The power-consumption tests were executed to give an overview of

the electrical conditions for several operational states.

Following table lists the typical power consumption of each APC-6410 series SBC. All I/Os are up under the testing

environment.

[edit] Table 2.1 Power Consumption of APC-6410 series SBC

Note: The tested LCD resolutions are 6.4" 640x480.

[edit] Real-Time Clock (RTC) Battery

• Voltage range: 1.8V – 43.6V (Typical@3.0V)
• Quiescent current: max. 3uA@3.0 V
• Normal Capacity：1.5mAh

[edit] CompactFlash(CF)

• 3.3V only

[edit] LCD

The LCD signal control voltage specification is as follows.

• +3.3/5V for TTL level LCD Panel (by Jumper Setting)
• +3.3/5V for LVDS LCD Panel (by Jumper Setting)

[edit] Environmental Specification

[edit] Temperature

• Operating: -10^o C to +75^o C(*) (with appropriate airflow)
• Industrial temperature range is available for option
• Non-operating: -12 ^oC to +85 ^o C (non-condensing)

Note: (*) The maximum operating temperature is the maximum measurable temperature on any spot on the SBC's surface. You must

maintain the temperature according to the above specification.

[edit] Humidity

• Operating: 0 to 95% (non-condensing)
• Non-operating: 0 to 95% (non-condensing)

[edit] MTBF

• System MTBF (hours) : >100,000 hours

The above MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) values were calculated using a combination of manufacturer's test data, if the

data was available, and a Bellcore calculation for the remaining parts. The Bellcore calculation used is "Method 1 Case 1".

In that particular method the components are assumed to be operating at a 50 % stress level in a 40^o C ambient

environment and the system is assumed to have not been burned in. Manufacturer's data has been used wherever possible. The

manufacturer's data, when used, is specified at 50^oC, so in that sense the following results are slightly

conservative. The MTBF values shown below are for a 40^oC in an office or telecommunications environment. Higher

temperatures and other environmental stresses (extreme altitude, vibration, salt water exposure, etc.) lower MTBF values.

[edit] EMI/RFI and ESD Protection

The APC-6410 SBC incorporates a number of standard features that protect it from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and suppress

electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference (EMI/RFI). Transient voltage suppressors, EMI fences, filters on I/O lines

and termination of high-frequency signals are included standard on all systems.

APC-6410 series SBC provides surge protection on the input power lines of itself. This is especially important if the power

supply wires will be subject to EMI/RFI or ESD. If the system incorporates other external boards, it is the responsibility of

the designer or integrator to provide surge protection on the system input power lines.

[edit] Hardware Reference

This section gives details of the hardware features of the APC-6410 SBC. These include a description of the switches, jumper

settings, connectors and connector pin outs.

[edit] Jumpers

The APC-6410 SBC has a number of jumpers that allow you to configure your system to suit your application. All use 2mm

shorting blocks (shunts) to select settings. Turn off power of the APC-6410 SBC before changing the position of a shunt.

The 3-4 and 5-6 of JP1 is to set the panel scan direction if panel is connected from CPU LCD controller.

APC-6410 SBC supports boot from NAND flash. The processor copies the first page of NAND flash to SDRAM. That means it can

boot without a NOR flash. However, a 0.5MB NOR flash is added by a jumper setting to prevent the bootloader from being erased

by developers. A "NAND Flash Writer" program is stored in NOR flash to recover the contents in NAND without using ICE.

The "NAND Flash Writer" download from USB of host PC and write binaries to NAND flash in seconds. Details will be described

in next chapter.

[edit] Setting Jumpers

You configure your board to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric

switch. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins

to connect them. To "close" a jumper you connect the pins with the clip.

To "open" a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you would

connect either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.

The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows.

A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers. If you have any doubts about the best hardware

configuration for your application, contact your local distributor or sales representative before you make any change.

Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most connections.

[edit] Connectors

Onboard connectors link the APC-6410 SBC to external devices such as LCD panel, a keyboard, an audio headset or CompactFlash

and to external communication such as 802.11, USB or Ethernet link. The table below lists the function of each of the board's

connectors.

Note:

(*) To protect the external power lines of peripheral devices, make sure that:

-- The wires have the right diameter to withstand the maximum available current.

-- The enclosure of the peripheral device fulfills the fire-protecting requirements of IEC/EN 60950.

The USB power lines are protected with a resetable fuse and are limited to 500mA.

If the USB device is powered from the SBC directly, not from the external power, make sure that the total power consumption

does not exceed the DC power budget of the SBC. For example, you might need to use a 5V/2A adapter instead of 5V/1A for APC-6410 SBCs.

[edit] 10/100Mbps Ethernet Port: CN17

The APC-6410 SBC on-board Ethernet interface uses the Davicom DM9000B integrated PHY. This combination supports a 10/100Base

-T interface. The device auto-negotiates the use of a 10Mbit/sec or 100Mbit/sec connection.

The 10/100Base-T connector is a standard 8 -pin RJ45 jack (CN17, Ethernet RJ45 and Double USB Type A connector) with

integrated LEDs for link and speed. The link LED is blinking on activity.

Display Power Consideration

When using a LCD Panel, additional voltages may be required to drive the display's logic and to supply the backlight

converter and the display's contrast voltage.

The display logic may require +5V for standard or +3.3V for low -power LCDs. The 3.3V or 5V can be set by jumper JP2.

Contrast voltages for passive displays are normally very different and can range from – 30V to +30V. Backlight converters

usually are +5V or +12V types.

Even though the APC-6410 SBC is also available as a +5V-only board, you need to supply the +12V for the backlight converter

additionally when using such a converter type.

[edit] Audio Port：CN11

The APC-6410 SBC uses the ALC203 AC97 Codec from the AC-link interface of CPU. The Audio port interface is a connector that

integrate headset, microphone and line-in audio jack. The audio of APC-6410 SBC is AC'97 2.3 compatible stereo audio CODEC,

including host/soft audio, and AMR/CNR based designs.

The codec could achieve a high SNR (greater than 100 dB), sensing logics for device reporting. The AC'97 CODEC supports

multiple CODEC extensions with independent variable sampling rates and built-in 3D effects.

The following table shows the pin-out of the Audio connector.

[edit] Serial Communication Port: CN20, CN21, CN22 and CN23

APC-6410 series SBC provides with six serial ports, one of which can be configured as RS422/485 by JP3 jumper setting. Among

these six serial ports, two of them are four full RS232 ports and two of them are equipped with TX, RX, CTS and RTS. The rest

two of them are TX and RX only. One of these six serial ports (UART0) is served as console port by software default. The

RS422/485 is available through CN22 if users set the jumper JP3 to RS422/485. All serial ports are available through the 2mm

20-pin header.

[edit] Main Power Connector: CN3

This power interface is an option to the AT/ATX power interface and uses the connector CN3 (4 pins). In this case the SBC

requires +5V-only to be supplied to the board. The +3.3V for onboard and external low-power devices is generated on board by

a DC/DC converter. However, the +12V that may be required for LCD panel backlight inverter or other external devices, is not

generated on board and needs to be additionally supplied.

The following table shows the pin-out of the connector.

To protect the external power lines of peripheral devices, make sure that:

1. The wires have the right diameter to withstand the maximum available current.
2. The enclosure of the peripheral device fulfils the fire-protecting requirements of IEC/EN 60950.
3. The current of the pins on this connector is limited to 13A/pin.
