Consortium

By Stephen St. Amant, PC/104 Consortium President

PC/104: A fresh look in its 25th year Let’s take a moment to recall the significance of 1987 – thirty years ago. You may immediately think, “Yes. 1987. A fantastic year for the birth of tennis stars: Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Maria Sharapova, Ana Ivanovic, and Sara Errani were all born in ’87.” But I imagine your second thought is about PC/104, right? Well, it could be if you know your PC/104 history: 1987 marks the year that Ampro introduced the Little Board/PC singleboard computer – one of the earliest seeds of the PC/104 ecosystem. Early collaborators such as Real Time Devices (now RTD Embedded Technologies) and Diamond Systems began developing compatible products as interest grew in the modular building block concept. By 1989, an innovative plugin mezzanine concept was introduced; it was perhaps the first look at a stackable bus structure that could eliminate the need for a backplane. As the form and function of the 3.775-inch by 3.550-inch stackable PC architecture began to take shape, Ampro made the industry-changing decision to spin its proprietary form factor into an open standard. In 1992, twelve ­trailblazing companies would join together to establish the PC/104 specification and the consortium that bears its name. Stackable expansion buses, corner mounting holes, and a compact footprint proved to be a winning combination which quickly found popularity among embedded system designers. (Note: Many thanks to Rick Lehrbaum for his previous publications chronicling the early history of PC/104.) In the 25 years since the Consortium’s founding, the PC/104 stackable architecture has successfully evolved to support advances in signal technologies and growth in silicon availability. Today, PC/104 is a thriving ecosystem supporting some of the most exciting embedded military, aerospace, industrial, medical, transportation, communications, and security applications. With specifications based on stackable ISA, PCI, and PCI Express buses, there is very little on the front lines of embedded computing that PC/104 does not address. Our member companies manufacture products which enable leading-edge technologies around the globe, while also supporting decades-old infrastructure.

With specifications based on stackable ISA, PCI, and PCI Express buses, there is very little on the front lines of embedded computing that PC/104 does not address. While the capabilities of the PC/104 architecture have expanded and adapted over time, the Consortium’s branding has not always kept pace. That is, until now: This year, the PC/104 Consortium is launching a newly redesigned logo. It’s a fresh message to correspond with the continued evolution of the PC/104 specifications and the steady expansion of the PC/104 ecosystem. As stewards of the PC/104 specifications, and developers of future stackable standards, the Consortium leadership felt that the organization’s visual identity needed to better reflect the innovative spirit and forward-thinking technologies of its member companies and the PC/104 specifications it promotes. PC/104 systems support a vast network of embedded applications across the globe, and the Consortium’s well-crafted ­standards have positioned our members for continued, sustainable growth. Visit the Consortium exhibit and many of our member companies this March at embedded world in Nuremberg, Germany. Look for a wide variety of embedded products and innovative solutions based on the latest PCIe/104, PCIe/104 OneBank, and PCI/104-Express specifications, as well as those in PC/104, PC/104-Plus, PCI-104, EPIC, EPIC Express, EBX, and EBX Express.

SPECIFICATIONS UPDATE SPECIFICATIONS UPDATE

Version 2.0: The evolution of SMARC module specification By Martin Unverdorben

Earlier this year, the Standardization Group for Embedded Technologies (SGET) updated its Smart Mobility Architecture (SMARC) embedded computing format to the 2.0 specification. Since its inception three years ago, the SMARC small-form-factor module has given developers an innovation boost for the ultra-low-power embedded market. Due to its widespread adoption and successful application, SGET members determined that Version 2.0 was needed to support next-generation design requirements. The primary reason to implement a new SMARC 2.0 specification is to provide an enhanced pinout that would better meet broader application requirements and processor interfaces. Essential to the standard’s ongoing viability, an updated spec also needed to offer backward compatibility with the original standard set in 2013 for low-profile form factor modules.

SMARC development history The SMARC format was originally created out of the necessity for a computer-onmodules (COMs) standard that would support and accommodate energy-saving ARM system-on- chip (SoC) processors. Since the inception of the format, Intel has subsequently improved the power efficiency of its processors with Atom-based SoCs, making the SMARC format also very well suited for x86 architecture-based products. SMARC answers the needs of systems integrators who want to be able to leverage available user-interface options to the fullest to support access to the smaller, low-cost display modules employed in many of today’s advanced mobile devices.

Spring 2017  PC/104 and Small Form Factors Resource Guide www.smallformfactors.com


SMARC modules are targeted to embedded systems developers that want the design flexibility of using COMs and carrier boards, and also to system developers requiring SoC-based, ultralow power COMs in miniature format. Actually, the application areas that can use SMARC modules is continually expanding, from solutions in the automation market to graphics and imagecentric devices which also require extremely low energy consumption and must withstand extreme environmental conditions. The modules also serve as building blocks for very small portable handheld devices as well as for larger devices where consumption must not exceed a few watts and the computingpower requirement is particularly high.

Different from the PCI Express focus of COM Express, SMARC gives developers additional flexibility in handling different types of video and graphics output, serial buses, general-purpose SPI, client and host forms of USB, plus serial and parallel camera interfaces. It also provides support for standard flash-memory card formats such as SD and eMMC.

Per the SGET specification, two module sizes are defined: a full-size module that measures 82 mm by 80 mm, and a short module for more compact systems measuring 82 mm by 50 mm. Both use the proven Mobile PCI Express modules (MXMs) edge connector that features 314 edge fingers that mate with a low-profile 314-pin/0.5 mm pitch rightangle connector. Different from the PCI Express focus of COM Express, SMARC gives developers additional flexibility in handling different types of video and graphics output, serial buses, generalpurpose SPI, client and host forms of USB, plus serial and parallel camera interfaces. It also provides support for standard flash-memory card formats such as SD and eMMC. SMARC’s modular approach offers builtin scalability and upgradability, enabling OEMs to get to market quickly with low-cost, low-power, and small-footprint solutions. Once the SMARC standard was in place, companies in this space addressed market demand by offering modules with ARM SoC processors including the Freescale i.MX 6, Texas Instruments Sitara 3874, and NVIDIA Tegra 3. Developers now had the building blocks to more easily engineer ultra-low-power devices. What changed with Version 2.0? SGET recognized the need for the SMARC connector’s 314 electrical contacts to www.smallformfactors.com

SPECIFICATIONS UPDATE support and provide compatibility with two distinct SoC architectures – not only ARM, but also x86. With ARM, for example, the connector must guarantee a high degree of signal integrity as required by the high-frequency serial interfaces, as well as support a parallel TFT display, MIPI display interface, camera interfaces, multiple SPI links, and SDIO interfaces. At the same time, it must offer full compatibility with x86 requirements such as support for multiple USB and PCI Express lanes, and support for the LPC bus. Based on three years of valuable market feedback from a broad range of developers and users, SGET successfully updated the original specification. (See Table 1 below.) As part of its policy of continuous improvement, members recommended a variety of modifications and enhancements. Specifically, they identified interfaces which were rarely used or considered nearly outdated; these have now been removed from the specification. These little-used interfaces include the parallel camera interface, parallel display interface, PCI Express presence and clock request signals, alternate function block, SPDIF, one I2S (out of three), and the eMMC interface to the carrier. The new pinout version maintains compatibility with the V1.1 pinout as much as possible. Accordingly, previously under-utilized V1.1 pins have been repurposed for new interfaces: In particular, the parallel LCD interface offers almost 50 pins that have been repurposed to DP++, the second Ethernet port, and the upgraded dualchannel LVDS. The overall guiding principal was that there should be no damage if a V1.1-compliant module is placed into a V2.0-compliant carrier, or vice-versa if a V2.0-compliant module is placed into a V1.1-compliant carrier. Developers can still

Meeting broader application needs SMARC 2.0 enables manufacturers to make more sophisticated products for its customers, and offers the features necessary to create the Internet of Things (IoT) applications of the future. For example, the second gigabit Ethernet (GbE) port allows designers to more easily develop simple gateway solutions. In addition, wireless connectivity can be enabled with the Version 2.0 optional RF connector. Ultra-low-power applications now get the benefit of full HD display support from the second LVDS channel. Furthermore, with the DP++ (dual-mode DisplayPort) interface that supports resolutions up to Ultra HD with 3,840 by 2,160 pixels makes state-of-the-art multimedia-based systems possible in mobile devices. Utilizing the DP++ interface allows systems integrators to connect DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI displays. The dual-channel LVDS capabilities in Version 2.0 provide the ability to drive either two low-resolution displays or a single high-resolution display supporting up to 1,920 by 1,200 pixels at 60 Hz depending upon the processor used.

necessary computing peripherals for developers. SMARC 2.0 supports up to six USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.0 interfaces. Available are now four PCIe lanes for platform-specific extensions delivering the flexibility to add new application functionality.

Figure 1 The SMARC-sXAL provides extensive real-time computing power in an energy-efficient and flexible platform. Users benefit from improved computing performance and long-term availability.

The bottom line is that the interfaces now supported are optimized for both ARM and x86-based SoCs. SMARC provides a COMs standard for interfacing different SoCs. By unifying these interfaces through standardization, OEMs can achieve greater flexibility with exchangeability between carrier boards and modules, allowing them to innovate applications that are able to migrate between very-low-power ARM platforms all the way up to 15W TDP x86 platforms. Defined for the future SGET has upgraded the SMARC 2.0 specification, making these modules ideal building blocks for future innovative and sophisticated applications. It maintains backward compatibility while offering next-generation interface ­support, aligning perfectly with SoC technology evolution. As a founding member of SGET, Kontron is committed to remaining at the forefront of SMARC standard definition. The company recently announced new SMARC 2.0 modules based on the latest generation Intel Atom, Pentium, and Celeron processors. (See Figure 1.)

PROCESSOR ARCHITECTURE

PCIe/104 – The “fishal” recognition revolution in fish counting By Rory Dear, Technical Contributor The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) used the flexibility of PCIe/104 architecture to update its monitoring of fish stocks.

Fish-count surveys are vital in ensuring the conservation and management of fish stocks in our increasingly overfished seas. The accuracy of those surveys is critical in providing evidence of overfishing to drive restorative and preventative legislation. Traditional fish-counting is inherently manual, relying on fishing trawlers casting enormous nets into the ocean, pulling aboard as many fish as possible to manually count and develop the trawl survey. Environmentally, the primary shortcoming of this approach is the number of fish killed during the course of this out of water survey. Naturally areas demanding the closest monitoring are those that are most threatened, thus such surveys can quickly become counter-productive to the aim of protecting their stocks. Trawling nets do not discriminate, so it’s not just fish that can get caught in the net. Additionally, often small species of fish are too small to be caught by the wide net mesh required to provide the strength to lift the catch out of the ocean. Inaccuracies of the traditional methodologies also fail to support protection legislation. There are substantial error margins involved in extrapolating from a small surveyed area to the larger area likely seeking protection. The length of time taken to undertake the survey and natural free movement of fish stocks again must again be addressed via extrapolation. Finally, the relatively high cost of the equipment and resource often dictates that the ideal level of monitoring required is prohibited.

Seeking to revolutionize this historic practice, covering an area of ocean with particular commercial and scientific interest, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) sought the answer in the power of embedded computing and specifically, in the flexibility of PCIe/104. In the latest iteration of this concept, PC/104 consortium members ADL Embedded Solutions, Inc. and RTD Inc. recently partnered to help bring this idea from an R&D exercise to reality. NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries service (NMFS) manages nearly 3 million square miles of coastal waters off Alaska and the west coast of the United States. This region supports some of the most significant commercial fisheries on the planet, yet are also home to some of the largest marine mammal populations. NMFS have been working tirelessly in the research and development phase of a camera based trawl technology (codenamed CAM-Trawl) for a number of years. The industry advances in underwater image capturing and facial recognition sought to

Real-time fish count data analysis is now instantly available for NOAA marine researchers to aid in their conservation efforts.

address the many shortfalls of the traditional approach – loosely cleverly termed “Fishal Recognition.” Early generations of the CAM-Trawl system worked in isolation, effectively just capturing myriad images to local storage, which necessitated analysis at some later date back at the laboratory. While addressing many of the environmental and accuracy shortfalls, the process remained laborious and relatively expensive. CAM-Trawl (Figure 1) enables undersea fish-count surveys with little disturb­ance to physical fish stocks. NMFS sought the assistance of ADL Embedded Solutions Inc via their Fish Management Acquisition (FMA) program to improve their proof-of-concept to the point it truly revolutionized the process. Employing a PCIe/104 stack with Quad-Core Intel Core-i7 the CAM-Trawl system gained the local performance necessary to facilitate real-time processing of image data, all whilst reducing the overall size to improve mounting flexibility and ease of storage and transportation. Typically residing in the wheelhouse, the Control Computer steadily monitors a wide range of external sensors monitoring geographical data, time, pressure, RFID tag readings and control of Vision Boxes derived from sensor input. Acting as a control sensor, it autonomously manages remote power on/off, start/stop image acquisition and clock syncing in a one-to-many relationship. The systems are housed in a stainless steel IP67 enclosure with waterproof I/O connectors to guarantee longevity in harsh marine environments. Why PCIe/104? No other configuration offers flexible support for today’s PCIe functions of quad GbE and quad USB 3.0, while facilitating likely future expansion needs of a PCIe x16 GPU or 10GbE LAN. The mechanical methodology of the famed PC/104 stack is sufficiently rugged for the shock and vibration stress of a top-side environment on a fishing trawler while enabling a smallform-factor design for an IP67 marine environment.

Figure 1 | CAM-Trawl enables undersea fish-count surveys with little disturbance to physical fish stocks.

Figure 2 | Left: ADL Control Computer, Right: ADL image acquisition computer.

Is the revolution complete? Not yet. The CAM-Trawl concept has indeed addressed the issues of traditional fish-surveying, then localized image processing has slashed the cost and processing time of data obtained via this means. So what’s next?

The Image Acquisition Computer naturally drives image capture. The GeniCam-compliant vision platform uses the latest vision technology and supports up to 6x GbE ports for camera interfacing, critically adding real-time image processing of those incoming video streams and storing crucial metadata for date/ time, fish identify, etc.

The next step will evolve how that image capture data is ­processed, likely employing the power of FPGAs in parallel to traditional computing where FPGAs are deployed in datacenters and undertaking pre-processing to achieve data-set reductions in majority of image applications “on land”. FPGAs are particularly performance and power efficient using runlength-encodes to get rid of “nothing” – in layman’s terms we mean handling any mathematics, at lightning speed. Such FPGA pre-processing would both increase data processing speed and slash the CPU performance requirements of the host computer.

The combination has revolutionized fish surveying and achieved all the stated goals for the project. Real-time fish count data analysis is now instantly available for NOAA marine researchers to aid in their conservation efforts. Still new technology, the results from experimental trawl surveys in 2016 has been very positive and work is underway to standardize on the key components utilised to facilitate mass adoption of “Fishal Recognition” technology.

While fish-counting may appear to be a somewhat niche need, the possibilities to revolutionize other applications throughout numerous industry sectors is unprecedented. The PC/104 consortium is collectively working tirelessly to realize the hardware necessary to facilitate these, with companies including Sundance, Euresys, EPIX, Sensoray, and AMP Ltd all heavily involved in image capture, processing, and pre-­ processing under PCIe/104.

PC/104 CONSORTIUM

History of the PC/104 Consortium The PC/104 Consortium was established in February 1992 by 12 companies with a common vision of adapting desktop computer technology for embedded applications. This consortium has had a tremendous, positive effect on the embedded computer marketplace. The initial release of the PC/104 specification in March of 1992 was an open design offering the power and flexibility of an IBM compatible personal computer in a size ideally suited for embedding. Simple and elegant in design, while small but rugged in performance, PC/104 technology bridged the successes of the past with the promises of future innovations. The ISA bus of the original IBM PC –– as established by the IEEE P996 specification – is still fully supported today by PC/104 technology over two decades after it was created. When demand for a faster, higher-bandwidth bus emerged, the PC/104 Consortium once again followed the desktop PC by adding a PCI bus to the ISA bus. Following on, PC/104-Plus was introduced in February of 1997. By keeping the ISA bus and adding the PCI bus, this specification became an addition to the technology rather than a replacement of any existing technology.

When desktop PCs stopped using the ISA bus, the PC/104 Consortium was ready with PCI-104 technology. The concept of PCI with no ISA was introduced in the original PC/104-Plus specification and was subsequently formally recognized with its own specification in November 2003. Once again, the PC/104 Consortium followed the desktop PC while keeping the legacy specifications intact. This growth pattern underscores the PC/104 Consortium’s desire to support the legacy technology while developing new solutions for the future. Longevity is a requirement for embedded systems and remains one of the hallmarks of PC/104 technology. This aspect is proven time and again by the number of PC/104, PC/104-Plus, and PCI-104 products on the market today, as well as by the number of PC/104 sites on other form-factor boards.

COMs <<Category>> and SOMs

FEATURES ĄĄ Latest Intel® Atom™, Celeron® and Pentium® processors based

on the highly optimized new 14nm micro-architecture.

<<Title>>

ĄĄ All form factors host the high-performance Intel® Gen9 graphics

New industrial family

which provides up to 18 execution units and supports up to 4k decode and encode capabilities for HEVC4, H.264, VP8, SVC and MVC.

<<Description>>

Introducing low-power Intel® Atom™, Celeron® and Pentium® processors (Codename Apollo Lake) on six different form factors: Mini-ITX motherboards and Pico-ITX single board computers as well as COM Express Compact, COM Express Mini, Qseven and SMARC 2.0 Computer-onModules. What makes this processor so attractive for design-in on so many different form factors?

ĄĄ Support up to three 4K displays with resolutions up to

4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz.

ĄĄ The 14 nm BGA (Ball Grid Array) package now has 1296 pins,

or 10% more as compared to the 1170 pins of its predecessors. As a result, the new processors’ BGA options have a 10% larger footprint, measuring 31x24 mm or 744 mm² compared to earlier processors measuring 25 x 27 mm or 675 mm².

A quick overview The new low-power processors from Intel® offer significantly higher performance at lower power consumption with massively improved graphics capabilities. Designers across the broad spectrum of embedded markets will find essential value in the improved performance-per-watt at a power envelope of only 6 to 12 watt. Additionally, new graphics capabilities are fueled by the powerful Intel® Gen 9 graphics engine, which was previously only available at the high-end level of Intel® Core™ processors. Extended temperature support, accommodating ambient temperatures ranging from -40° C to +85° C, as well as comprehensive real-time capabilities rounds out the feature set. All this makes the new low-power processor generation very attractive, blending performance, price and embedded longevity.

ĄĄ The battery life is expected to last approximately 15% longer over

earlier processor generations.

ĄĄ Industrial-grade temperature variants available. ĄĄ According to the demands in the embedded markets, these

processor families also offer long-term availability of 7 years. FEATURES ĄĄ

Mini ITX and Pico ITX With Mini ITX and Pico ITX boards, engineers have a range of attractive options – including long-term available, industrial-grade motherboards and single board computers that fit perfectly into any standard system design that doesn’t require a dedicated PCB for a customized feature set. These boards are application-ready for immediate use, however if you are facing any BSP or driver challenges, congatec’s personal support is there to help. IoT engineers can also capitalize on the support of SIM cards offered by congatec’s Mini ITX motherboards. The Pico-ITX option offers excellent flexibility with a wide range of interfaces in a very small footprint.

Computer-on-Modules For applications that require a dedicated carrier board for customized interfaces, engineers can choose a preferred module from congatec’s broad portfolio of COM Express, Qseven and SMARC 2.0 Computer-on-Modules. Optionally, congatec also provides dedicated carrier board designs for these modules. congatec is open to any type of design cooperation, and engineers are completely free to decide whether carrier board design is the OEM’s core competence or whether resources are better used by outsourcing.

Hardware and Peripherals

mPCIe-COM Family PCI Express Mini Cards ACCES I/O Products is pleased to announce the release of a new family of mini PCI Express (mPCIe) multi-port serial communication cards. These small, low-priced, PCI Express Mini cards feature a selection of 4 or 2-ports of software selectable RS-232/422/485 asynchronous serial protocols on a port by port basis. These cards have been designed for use in harsh and rugged environments such as military and defense along with applications such as health and medical, point of sale systems, kiosk design, retail, hospitality, automation, gaming and more. The small size (just 50.95mm x30mm) allows for maximum performance in applications where space is a valuable resource. Each RS-232 port is simultaneously capable of supporting data communication rates up to 921.6 kbps. RS-422/485 modes support data communication speeds up to 3 Mbps. The cards provide ±15kV ESD protection on all signal pins to protect against costly damage due to electrostatic discharge. Existing serial peripherals can connect directly to industry standard DB9M connectors on the optional breakout cable accessory kits. The mPCIe-COM cards were designed using type 16C950 UARTs and use 128-byte transmit/receive FIFO buffers to decrease CPU loading and protect against lost data in multitasking systems. New systems can continue to interface with legacy serial peripherals, yet benefit from the use of the high performance PCI Express bus. The cards are fully software compatible with current PCI and PCI Express 16550 type UART applications and allow users to maintain backward compatibility.

The mPCIe-ICM cards have been designed for use in harsh and rugged environments such as military and defense along with applications such as health and medical, point of sale systems, kiosk design, retail, hospitality, automation, and gaming. The RS232 ports provided by the card are 100% compatible with every other industry-standard serial COM device, supporting TX, RX, RTS, and CTS. The card provides ±15kV ESD protection on all signal pins to protect against costly damage to sensitive electronic devices due to electrostatic discharge. In addition, they provide Tru-Iso™ port-to-port and port-to-PC isolation. The serial ports on the device are accessed using a low-profile, latching, 5-pin Hirose connector. Optional breakout cables are available, and bring each port connection to a panel-mountable DB9-M with an industry compatible RS232 pin-out. The mPCIe-ICM cards were designed using type 16C950 UARTS and use 128-byte transmit/receive FIFO buffers to decrease CPU loading and protect against lost data in multitasking systems. New systems can continue to interface with legacy serial peripherals, yet benefit from the use of the high performance PCI Express bus. The cards are fully software compatible with current PCI 16550 type UART applications and allow for users to maintain backward compatibility.
