1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
The Cool SpaceRunner-LX800 is a CPU-board for especially designed with rugged appliances in mind.
It allows the design of devices without moving parts. Additional resilience comes from the used
through-hole connectors.
The PC/104-Plus board with AMD’s Geode™ LX processor has a very good performance to power
ratio. The board comprises all peripherals needed for an embedded PC on a small 3.775" by 4.050"
printed circuit board. It is fully plug-in compatible with the Cool SpaceRunner 2, except that the Flat
Panel connector is replaced with three USB 2.0 ports.
The Cool SpaceRunner-LX800 integrates a powerful yet efficient AMD Geode™ LX800 processor
together with a CS5536 I/O companion and a Super I/O chip to form a complete PC, with all the
standard peripherals already onboard. There is a graphics controller with VGA and LVDS adapters to
connect different sorts of display terminals. Backlighting is provided for LCD modules too.
A fast 100/10BaseT Ethernet port, two RS232/RS422/RS485 serial ports, and four USB 2.0 host
ports handle the communication with external devices. There are PS/2 connectors for keyboard and
mouse as well as a parallel printer port available. An IDE ATA100 adapter allows connection of hard
disk or CD drives. Applications that require non-moving storage can use the integrated Solid State
Drive.
There is Solid State Drive (SSD) integrated, which is connected to the ATA-controller.
System expansion can easily be realized over PC/104, PC/104-Plus and I²C bus connectors.
The Cool SpaceRunner-LX800 is powered by a 5V-only supply and supports ACPI, advanced power
management and PCI power management. Security critical applications take advantage of the Geode
LX800 processor, too. It has an on-chip AES 128-bit crypto acceleration block capable of 44 Mbps
throughput on either encryption or decryption. The AES block runs asynchronously to the processor
core and is DMA based.
The Cool SpaceRunner-LX800 runs DOS, Windows, Linux and VxWorks operating systems.
