Introduction
EPM-14 Reference Manual 4
RoHS-Compliance
The EPM-14 is RoHS-compliant.
ABOUT ROHS
In 2003, the European Union issued Directive 2002/95/EC regarding the Restriction of the use of
certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment.
The RoHS directive requires producers of electrical and electronic equipment to reduce to
acceptable levels the presence of six environmentally sensitive substances: lead, mercury,
cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and the presence of polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and
polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) flame retardants, in certain electrical and electronic
products sold in the European Union (EU) beginning July 1, 2006.
VersaLogic Corporation is committed to supporting customers with high-quality products and
services meeting the European Union’s RoHS directive.
Warnings
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage boards, disk drives and other components. The circuit
board must only be handled at an ESD workstation. If an approved station is not available, some
measure of protection can be provided by wearing a grounded antistatic wrist strap. Keep all
plastic away from the board, and do not slide the board over any surface.
After removing the board from its protective wrapper, place the board on a grounded, static-free
surface, component side up. Use an antistatic foam pad if available.
The board should also be protected inside a closed metallic anti-static envelope during shipment
or storage.
Note The exterior coating on some metallic antistatic bags is sufficiently conductive to
cause excessive battery drain if the bag comes in contact with the bottom-side of
the EPM-14.
LITHIUM BATTERY
To prevent shorting, premature failure or damage to the lithium battery, do not place the board on
a conductive surface such as metal, black conductive foam or the outside surface of a metalized
ESD protective pouch. The lithium battery may explode if mistreated. Do not recharge,
disassemble or dispose of in fire. Dispose of depleted batteries promptly.

Introduction
EPM-14 Reference Manual 5
TRANSIENT VOLTAGE SUPPRESSION (TVS) DEVICES
The EPM-14 circuitry is protected from spike and surge damage by on-board transient voltage
suppression (TVS) devices on the user I/O signals. Figure 2 shows a typical example of TVS
circuitry. In order for the TVS devices to function properly, they must be connected to earth
ground. This connection is made at the board’s upper right mounting hole, as shown in Figure 3.
All other mounting holes are floating. Use metal standoffs or a grounding strap to connect the
lower right mounting hole to the enclosure chassis, which should be connected to earth ground.

correspond to the BIOS build date.
Operating System Installation
The standard PC architecture used on the EPM-14 makes the installation and use of most of the
standard x86 processor-based operating systems very simple. The operating systems listed on the
VersaLogic OS Compatibility Chart use the standard installation procedures provided by the
maker of the OS. Special optimized hardware drivers for a particular operating system, or a link
to the drivers, are available at the EPM-14 Product Support web page at
http://www.versalogic.com/private/cougarsupport.asp.
Note An operating system installed on a different type of computer is not guaranteed to
work on the EPM-14. This is referred to as a “foreign” installation. A hard disk
that was used to boot a different computer cannot necessarily be moved to the
EPM-14 and expected to boot. Even when porting an OS image from one revision
of the EPM-14 to another, performance might fail or be impaired. For the best
results, perform a fresh installation of the OS on each system. This restriction does
not apply if you are producing multiple identical systems.

HARDWARE ASSEMBLY
The EPM-14 uses PC/104 and PC/104-Plus connectors so that expansion modules can be added
to the top of the stack. PC/104 (ISA) modules must not be positioned between the EPM-14 and
any PC/104-Plus (PCI) modules on the stack.
The entire assembly can sit on a table top or be secured to a base plate. When bolting the unit
down, make sure to secure all four standoffs to the mounting surface to prevent circuit board
flexing. Standoffs are secured to the top circuit board using four pan head screws. Standoffs and
screws are available as part number VL-HDW-101.
An extractor tool is available (part number VL-HDW-201) to separate the PC/104 modules from
the stack. Use caution when using the extractor tool not to damage any board components.

System Features
EPM-14 Reference Manual 22
Note: The +3.3VDC, +12VDC and -12VDC inputs are required only for expansion
modules that require these voltages.
POWER REQUIREMENTS
The EPM-14 requires only +5 volts (±5%) for proper operation. The voltage required for the
RS-232 ports are generated with a DC/DC converter. Low-voltage supply circuits provide power
to the CPU and other on-board devices.
The exact power requirement of the EPM-14 depends on several factors, including peripheral
connections, type and number of expansion modules, and attached devices. For example, driving
long RS-232 lines at high speed can increase power demand.
LITHIUM BATTERY
Warning! To prevent shorting, premature failure or damage to the lithium battery, do not
place the board on a conductive surface such as metal, black conductive foam or
the outside surface of a metalized ESD protective pouch. The lithium battery may
explode if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble or dispose of in fire. Dispose
of used batteries promptly.
Nominal battery voltage is 3.0 V. If the voltage drops below 2.7 V, contact the factory for a
replacement (part number HB3/0-1). The life expectancy under normal use is 10 years.
CPU
The Geode LX 800 microcontroller has a 32-bit, low-voltage AMD x86 microprocessor at its
core. The maximum clock rate is 500 MHz actual, with 800 MHz (Celeron equivalent)
performance. The LX 800 features 64 kb of L1 cache, 128 kb of L2 cache, DDR SDRAM
support, and an integrated display controller. The CPU has a typical power consumption of
1.6W.
System RAM
The EPM-14 has one soldered-on DDR memory module with the following characteristics:
Size 256 MB
Voltage 2.6V
Type DDR 366 MHz
Note CMOS settings default to DDR 366 MHz. Settings to DDR 400 MHz are available,
but VersaLogic only guarantees operation at the default settings.
General BIOS Information
System Features
EPM-14 Reference Manual 23
CMOS RAM
CLEARING CMOS RAM
A jumper may be installed into V1[2-3] to erase the contents of the CMOS RAM and the real-
time clock. When clearing CMOS RAM: 1) Power off the EPM-14. 2) Remove the jumper from
V1[1-2], install it on V1[2-3] and leave it for four seconds. 3) Move the jumper to back to
V1[1-2]. 4) Power on the EPM-14.
CMOS Setup Defaults
The EPM-14 permits users to save custom CMOS defaults, which override factory defaults. This
allows the system to boot with user-defined settings if CMOS RAM is cleared or corrupted. The
factory defaults remain available for restoration in the main BIOS Setup screen. All CMOS Setup
defaults can be customized, except the time and date. The CMOS Setup defaults can be updated
with the Flash BIOS Update (FBU) Utility, available from the General BIOS Information page.
Warning! If the CMOS Setup default settings make the system unbootable and prevent the user
from entering CMOS Setup, the EPM-14 needs to be serviced by the factory.
DEFAULT CMOS RAM SETUP VALUES
After the CMOS RAM is cleared, the system will load default CMOS RAM parameters the next
time the board is powered on. The default CMOS RAM setup values will be used in order to boot
the system whenever the main CMOS RAM values are blank, or when the system battery is dead
or has been removed from the board.
SAVING CMOS SETUP PARAMETERS AS CUSTOM DEFAULTS
To save CMOS Setup parameters to custom defaults, you will need a DOS bootable floppy with
the FBU utility on it.
1. Boot the EPM-14 and enter CMOS Setup by pressing Delete during the early boot cycle.
2. Change the CMOS parameters as desired and configure the floppy drive as the first boot
device:
DRIVE ASSIGNMENT ORDER | Drive A: USB Floppy
Basic CMOS Configuration | BOOT ORDER | Boot 1st: Drive A:
3. Save the settings and exit CMOS Setup.
4. Reboot the system from the DOS boot floppy.
5. Run FBU and select Save CMOS contents. A file named CMOS.BIN is created and
saved to the floppy.
6. Select the FBU option Load Custom CMOS defaults. A directory of the floppy is
displayed.
7. Select the CMOS.BIN file and press the P key to program the new CMOS defaults.
8. Reboot the system from the hard disk. The custom CMOS parameters are now saved as
defaults.

Serial Ports
The EPM-14 features three on-board 16550-based serial channels located at standard PC I/O
addresses. COM1 and COM2 are RS-232 (115.2K baud) serial ports. IRQ lines are chosen in
CMOS Setup. COM3 operates in RS-422 or RS-485 mode. IRQ lines are chosen in the CMOS
Setup. Each COM port can be independently enabled or disabled in CMOS Setup.
For information on setting the COM ports to high-speed baud rates, see the AMD LX 800 Data
Book (COM1 and COM2) or the AMD CS5536 Companion Device Data Book (COM3).
COM PORT CONFIGURATION
There are no configuration jumpers for COM1 and COM2 because they only operate in RS-232
mode. Jumper V3 is used to enable the RS-422/485 termination resistor for COM3. The
termination resistor should be enabled for RS-422/485 endpoint station. It should be disabled for
the RS-485 intermediate station.
SERIAL PORT CONNECTORS
See the Connector Location Diagrams on pages 15 for connector and cable information. The
pinouts of the DB9M connectors apply to the serial connectors on the VersaLogic breakout board
CBR-5011.
These connectors use IEC 61000-4-2-rated TVS components to help protect against ESD
damage.

USB
The USB interface on the EPM-14 is OHCI (Open Host Controller Interface) and EHCI
(Enhance Host Controller Interface) compatible, which provides a common industry
software/hardware interface. The EHCI controller is still available for use by the operating
system when the “Usb20” feature is disabled, but booting from USB 2.0 devices or using them in
a DOS environment may be slower.
The USB controllers use PCI interrupt INTD#. CMOS Setup is used to select the IRQ line routed
to each PCI interrupt line.
There are four USB ports, all connected through the utility I/O connector at J7. The CBR-5011
breakout board provides four USB type-A connectors at location J2, and an alternate 4-pin
connection for USB4 at location J5.

Video Interface
An on-board video controller integrated into the chipset provides high performance video output
for the EPM-14.
CONFIGURATION
The video interface uses PCI interrupt INTA*. CMOS Setup is used to select the IRQ line routed
to INTA*.
The EPM-14 uses shared memory architecture. This allows the video controller to use variable
amounts of system DRAM for video RAM. The amount of RAM used for video is set with a
CMOS Setup option.
The EPM-14 supports two types of video output, SVGA and LVDS Flat Panel Display. A CMOS
Setup option is used to select which output is enabled after POST.
VIDEO BIOS SELECTION
Jumper V2[5-6] can be removed to allow the system to boot from the secondary video BIOS.
Unlike the primary video BIOS, the secondary video BIOS can be reprogrammed in the field.
SVGA OUTPUT CONNECTOR
See the diagram on page 15 for the location of connector J4. An adapter cable, part number CBR-
1201, is available to translate J4 into a standard 15-pin D-Sub SVGA connector.
This connector uses IEC 61000-4-2-rated TVS components to help protect against ESD damage.

LVDS FLAT PANEL DISPLAY CONNECTOR
The integrated LVDS flat panel display in the EPM-14 is an ANSI/TIA/EIA-644-1995
specification-compliant interface. It can support up to 24 bits of RGB pixel data plus three bits of
timing control (HSYNC/VSYNC/DE) on the four differential data output pairs. The LVDS clock
frequency ranges from 25 MHz to 112 MHz.
CMOS Setup provides several options for standard LVDS flat panel types. If these options do not
match the requirements of the panel you are attempting to use, contact Support@VersaLogic.com
for a custom video BIOS.
The 3.3V power provided to pins 19 and 20 of J9 is protected by a 1 amp fuse.
See the connector location diagram on page 15 for pin and connector location information.

CONSOLE REDIRECTION
The EPM-14 can be operated without using the on-board video output by redirecting the console
to COM1. CMOS Setup and some operating systems such as DOS can use this console for user
interaction.
In the Features Configuration screen, there is an option to control console redirection. This
option can be set to Auto or Redirect. When set to Auto, the console will not be redirected to
COM1 unless a signal is detected from the terminal by pressing <Ctrl>-<C> or <Enter>. When
set to Redirect, the console will be directed to COM1.
Notes on console redirection:
When console redirection is enabled, you can access CMOS Setup by typing<Ctrl><C>.
The decision to redirect the console is made early in BIOS execution and cannot be
changed later.
The redirected console uses 115200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow
control.
The default console redirection setting is Auto. The default can be reloaded without
entering BIOS setup by discharging CMOS contents.

Ethernet Interface
The EPM-14 features two Intel 82551ER Fast Ethernet controllers on-board. While these
controllers are not NE2000-compatible, they are widely supported. Drivers are readily available
to support a variety of operating systems. See VersaLogic website for latest OS support.
BIOS CONFIGURATION
Ethernet interface 0 (J3) uses PCI interrupt INTA# and Ethernet interface 1 (J2) uses PCI
interrupt INTB#. CMOS Setup is used to select the IRQ line routed to each PCI interrupt line.
STATUS LED
Each Ethernet controller has a two-colored LED located next to its RJ-45 connector to provide an
indication of the Ethernet status as follows:
Green LED (Link):
ON Active Ethernet cable plugged in
OFF Active cable not plugged in
or cable not plugged into active hub
Yellow LED (Activity):
ON Activity detected on cable
OFF No Activity detected on cable
ETHERNET CONNECTOR
Board-mounted RJ-45 connectors are provided to make connections with Category 5 Ethernet
cables. The 82551ER Ethernet controller auto-detects 10BaseT/100Base-TX connectors.
These connectors use IEC 61000-4-2-rated TVS components to help protect against ESD
damage.

CPU Temperature Monitor
A thermometer circuit constantly monitors the die temperature of the CPU. This circuit can be
used to detect over-temperature conditions which can result from fan or heat sink failure or
excessive ambient temperatures.
The system can be configured to generate an interrupt when the temperature exceeds the BIOS
programmed threshold. Contact the factory for information on reading and writing to the
thermometer circuits.
PC/104 Expansion Bus
EPM-14 has limited support of the PC/104 bus. Most PC/104 cards will work, but be sure to
check the requirements of your PC/104 card against the list below.
PC/104 I/O SUPPORT
The ISA I/O ranges listed below are supported. The I/O ranges allocated to COM ports 1-3 are
available to ISA when the on-board COM port function is disabled in CMOS Setup.
• 100h – 1CFh
1DFh – 1EFh
200h – 3AFh
3E0h – 3F5h
3F7h – 47Fh
490h – 4CFh
4D2h – 777h
77Ch – AFFh
• When on-board COM ports are enabled in CMOS Setup: COM1 (0x3F8-0x3FF), COM2
(0x2F8-0x2FF), COM3 (0x3E8-0x3EF).
PC/104 MEMORY SUPPORT
Memory ranges supported:
• C8000h-DBFFFh
IRQ SUPPORT
The following IRQs are available on the PC/104 bus:
• IRQ 3, IRQ 4, IRQ 5, IRQ 6, IRQ 7, IRQ 9, and IRQ 10
Each of the seven IRQs must be enabled in CMOS Setup before they can be used on the ISA bus.
Because ISA IRQ sharing is not supported, make sure that any IRQ channel used for an ISA
device is not used elsewhere. For example, if ISA IRQ 4 is enabled, you must use a different IRQ
for COM1. There are three mutually exclusive IRQ domains: PCI, ISA, and on-board COM
ports.
DMA SUPPORT
The current revision of the board does not support PC/104 DMA.

Interrupt Configuration
The EPM-14 has the standard complement of PC type interrupts. Four non-shared interrupts are
routed to the PC/104 bus, and up to four IRQ lines can be allocated as needed to PCI devices.
Table 18 and Table 19 show the default and allowed interrupt settings. There are no interrupt
configuration jumpers. All configuration is handled through CMOS Setup. If your design needs
to use interrupt lines on the PC/104 bus, IRQ5 and IRQ10 are recommended. (IRQ3 and IRQ4
are normally used by COM ports on the main board.)
