1Introduction
1.1 Description
The ETX-CV is an ETX v3.02 compliant module specially designed to facilitate speedy
development of semi custom designs. ETX is an open standard that targets the market for
embedded OEM projects.An ETX core combined with a custom made carrier board represents a
value solution that allows OEM customers to get to the market fast. The new ETX v3.02
specification adds SATAsupport to ETX in the form of two connectors on the module itself,
leaving the ETX board-to-board interface 100% compatible with baseboards designed under the
earlier ETX v2.xx specification.
The ETX-CV is positioned as an entry level ETX module for generic systems but also for systems
requiring a full set of graphics features. The module comes with integrated support for high VGA
up to 1920 x 1200 resolution (WUXGA), single/dual channel 18/24-bit LVDS and onboard
DisplayPort connector.
The ETX-CV conforms to the latest ETX® 3.02 specification and provides two additional onboard
SATAconnectors while maintaining full backward compatibility with earlier ETX® standards.
Operating system support includes Windows XP, Windows XP Embedded, Windows 7, WinCE,
and Linux. Primary focus is for applications in Medical Diagnostics and Imaging, Gaming,
IndustrialAutomation, Test and Measurement, POS, and Industrial Control.
The dual-core Intel®Atom™ Processor N2000 and D2000 Series on the ETX-CV replaces the
previous generation Intel®Atom™ processors N4xx/N5xx.Although much smaller in size, Intel®
Atom™ processors share the same architecture as Intel® Core™2 Duo processors and
additionally support Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology, allowing more than one code thread to
be executed at the same time on a single core. The ETX-CV's thermal design and powerful CPU
core allow it to provide the same or even better performance than earlier generation modules at a
more modest power consumption.
The ETX-CV supports up to 4 GB of DDR3 memory on a single SODIMM, incorporates an Intel
10/100BASE-T Ethernet controller, and provides dual channel IDE, two channels SATA, four USB
2.0 ports, two serial ports, one parallel port, one PS/2 keyboard/mouse interface and HD audio.
The ETX-CV fully supports PCI and legacy ISA based on high speed PCI/ISA bridge and is
equipped with anAMI Aptio BIOS supporting embedded features such as Remote Console,
CMOS backup for battery-less operation, CPU and System Monitoring and Watchdog Timer.
The ETX-CV is a RoHS compliant and leadfree product.

5Embedded Functions
All embedded board functions onADLINK’s Computer on Modules are supported at the operating
system level using theADLINK Intelligent Device Interface (AIDI) library. TheAIDI API
programming interface is compatible and identical across all supportedADLINK Computer on
Modules and all supported operating systems. TheAIDI library includes a demo program to
demonstrate the library’s functionallity.
5.1 Watchdog Timer
The ETX-CV implements a Watchdog timer that can be used to
automatically detect software execution problems or system hangs and
reset the board if necessary. The Watchdog timer consists of a counter
that counts down from an initial value to zero. When the system is
operating normally, the software that sets the intial value periodically
resets the counter so that the it never reaches zero. If the counter
reaches zero before the software resets it, the system is presumed to be
malfunctioning and a reset signal is asserted.
TheAIDI Library Watchdog functions support Watchdog control of the board. If the Watchdog
begins countdown and reaches zero, it will access the CPU's RESET signal to reset the system.
This application must call another function namedAidiWDogTrigger that triggers the Watchdog to
restart to prevent system reset.
AIDI Demo Program
- Watchdog Tab
TheAIDI Demo Program allows
retrieval of the current Watchdog
status and updating of the
Watchdog settings
If the Watchdog is enabled, the
user can click the WDTTrigger
button to manually reset the
counter and prevent the system
from resetting

ETX-CV User’s Manual Page 15
5.2 Hardware Monitoring
To ensure system health of your embedded systemADLINK’s Computer on Modules come with
built in support for monitoring of CPU temperatures and critical module voltage levels.
TheAIDI Library provides simpleAPIs at the application level to support these functions and adds
alarm functions when voltage or temperature levels exceeds the upper or lower limit set by the
user.
On the ETX-CV the following monitored values can be read from the module:
CPU temperature, Vcore, 1.05V, 3.3V, 5V and VBAT.
AIDI Demo Program
- HW Monitor Tab
Field 1 displays detected sensors
(number).
Field 2 allows setting of upper and
lower alarm limits.
Field 3 displays read out
information of sensors.

6.1 Connector Locations
6.2 Pin Compatibility
All pins on X1, X2, X3, and X4 of the ETX-CV comply with pin and signal descriptions used in the
ETX Specification version 3.02. This document contains a description of pins, signal descriptions,
and mechanical characteristics of the ETX form factor.
Compared to earlier ETX revisons (ETX rev 2.x)
ETX 3.02 revision adds “SATA connectors on the module” to the ETX specification and is
further pin to pin compatible with earlier 2.x ETX revisions.
(X1, X2, X3, X4 pinout on rev 2.x equal those on revison 3.02)
