Application Notes
1. Wake-On-LAN and PXE function
For saving the battery power, the standby power in the ECB-951D
(COM Express carrier board) has been removed. Therefore, the
NanoCOM-U15 cannot support Wake-On-LAN and PXE function
when the ECB-951D has been using.
If you need the function of Wake-On-LAN or PXE, AAEON can
provide the custom BIOS to you.
2. USB Client Port
The NanoCOM-U15 supports 8 USB ports. Port 7 can be the host or
client port. It can be chosen via BIOS.
3. Legacy and legacy-free BIOS
The NanoCOM-U15 equips with legacy-free BIOS in default. If you
test the functions on ECB-951D accompanied with the
NanoCOM-U15, please use the legacy BIOS instead of legacy-free
BIOS. You can find the legacy BIOS in the utility CD and get the
latest one on AAEON website.
4. Display Support
If you want to get the display(s) not only from LVDS LCD, but also
from DVI monitor for debugging, please purchase the ECB-951D. It is
a COM Express carrier board and equips with SDVO to DVI daughter
board to provide the DVI connector.
5. Touch Screen Controller with USB Interface
If you implement a touch screen controller with USB interface in the
carrier board and use the Operating System of Windows CE, please
use USB#0, 1 and 3 of NanoCOM-U15. There is a driver support
issue of Windows CE.
