Armadillo-9 hardware manual ver.1.02
1. Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Armadillo-9.
The Armadillo-9 is a small single board computer that uses an ARM9 processor (Cirrus Logic EP9315:
200MHz). It is equipped with 100Mbps network functionality as well as a wide range of interfaces including
serial, USB, IDE and VGA. The Compact Flash slot allows for connection of I/O cards such as memory
storage, PHS cards and wireless LAN cards. Also, the PC/104 bus enables functional expansion.
As the Armadillo-9 employs Linux as its standard operating system, you will be able to take advantage of
the rich array of open-source software resources. Software development can be carried out using the GNU
assembler, C-compiler and so on.
■
This manual covers the hardware specifications and methods of use of the Armadillo-9. We hope the
information contained in this document will help you get the best functionality out of the Armadillo-9.

2. Precautions
2.1. Safety Precautions
Please read the following safety precautions carefully to assure correct use.
！
This product uses semiconductor components designed for generic electronics
equipment such as office automation equipment, communications equipment,
measurement equipment and machine tools. Do not incorporate the product into
devices such as medical equipment, traffic control systems, combustion control
systems, safety equipment and so on which can directly threaten human life or
pose a hazard to the body or property due to malfunction or failure. Moreover,
products incorporating semiconductor components can be caused to malfunction
or fail due to foreign noise or surge. To ensure there will be no risk to life, the
body or property even in the event of malfunction or failure, be sure to take all
possible measures in the safety system design, such as using protection circuits
like limit switches or fuse breakers, or system multiplexing.
2.2. Operational Precautions
To avoid a permanent damage to the Armadillo-9, the following precautions must be observed when
handling the product.
 Board Attachment/Detachment
Do not attempt to attach or remove this board when power supply is being supplied to the Armadillo-9
or peripheral circuits.
 Static Electricity
The Armadillo-9 uses CMOS devices. Until the board is used, store it safely in the provided antistatic
package.
 Latch-up
Due to excessive noise or surge from the power supply or input/output, sharp voltage fluctuations can
lead to the CMOS devices incorporated in the board causing a latch-up. Once the latch-up occurs, this
situation continues until the power supply is disconnected, and therefore can damage the devices.
Measures such as adding a protection circuit to noise-susceptible input/output lines or not sharing the
power supply with devices that can be cause of noise are highly recommended.
2.3. Software Precautions
 Software contained in this product:
The software and documentation contained in this product is provided “AS IS” without warranty of any
kind including warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, reliability, correctness or
accuracy. Furthermore, we do not guarantee any outcomes resulting from the use of this product.
2.4. Trademarks
Armadillo is a registered trademark of Atmark Techno, Inc. Other products and company names are either
trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective company or organization.
