1Overview
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.
