Safety Precautions
Read the following safety precautions before installation or operation.
WARNING!
Abnormal Conditions
Should the M-317 become hot, start to emit smoke or a strange odor, immediately turn off
the power and contact your original dealer or authorized service provider. Continued usage
is dangerous and may result in fire or electric shock.
WARNING!
Foreign Objects
Avoid having foreign matter or objects enter into any opening of the M-317. This could
result in fire or electric shock. Immediately turn off the power and contact your original
dealer or an authorized service provider.
WARNING!
Location and Physical Damage
If the M-317 falls and is damaged turn off the power immediately and contact the original
dealer or authorized service provider. Continuing to use the device in this state or locating
the device in extremely humid or dusty areas is dangerous and may result in fire or electric
shock.
WARNING!
Liquids
Keep the device away from water, other liquids and liquid containers. Liquid entering into
the device can cause fire and electric shock.
CAUTION
LCD Screen
Never apply heavy pressure to the M-317 display or subject it to strong impact. Doing so
may crack the screen or LCD panel glass, resulting in personal injury or major damage to
the device. Should the LCD panel glass break, do not touch the liquid inside. Should liquid
from the LCD panel accidentally touch a person’s skin or enter a person's mouth or eyes,
immediately rinse the area affected with water and contact a physician.
CAUTION
Power Supply
Do not use the M-317 with any voltage other than that specified. Avoid situations that can
cause damage to the power cable. Do not place heavy objects on the power cable and keep
it away from sources of heat. Never twist, sharply bend, or pull the power cable. If the
power cable is damaged (exposing or breaking wires), contact your original dealer or service
provider about repair or replacement. Damage to the electrical cable may result in fire or
electrical shock.

Introduction
M-317 Platform Overview
The M-317 provides Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Telematics Service Providers (TSP’s)
with a rugged and versatile vehicle-centric mobile-computing platform for a variety of Mobile Resource
Management (MRM) applications.
The M-317 platform supports the Google AndroidTM 4 operating system.
The M-317 offers a comprehensive development environment for independent application programming
and system integration.
The M-317 device architecture provides a solid and cost-effective design by simplifying maintenance
tasks, significantly extending product life expectancy, and lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO).
The M-317’s Base Model configuration contains the standard set of features and functions of the MDT
(Mobile Data Terminal). There is a range of optional extensions, add-ons and accessories to enhance the
M-317’s capabilities, serving advanced fleet management solutions.
The M-317’s ruggedness is able to withstand the rough commercial automotive environment, including
operation in a wide temperature range, vibrations, and shock.
Using the external vehicle diagnostic and cellular communication accessory devices, the M-317 platform
supports the functionality of a fully integrated and standalone, fleet management solution.
M-317 Model
Micronet implemented the M-317 platform in two product models:
Standard device model, which supports the key feature set described below

Introduction
Development Tool Kit
Rev. 1.2
M-317 Hardware Guide
8 / 50
All-In-One model, which provides additional wireless interfaces.
Display
The M-317 consists of a 7" (800x480 pixels) WVGA display, with a color touch screen and large
programmable seven-button keypad. Please refer to the M-317 Display on page 21, and to the Keypad
on page 22.
Physical Interfaces
The M-317 provides the following physical interfaces:
USB
Serial RS232/RS422 (optional) ports
Digital input signal for ignition switch control
Interfaces for vehicle and peripheral device connectivity
Analog and digital control output signals (optional)
Wireless Module (Optional)
The All-In-One model supports cellular communication and GPS via a 3.5G GSM or EV-DO wireless
module.
Special Protection of Application Data Feature
Designed to perform in the harsh vehicle operational environment, the M-317 platform incorporates
an especially robust hardware and software system to protect application data storage from
corruption caused by unstable vehicle power behavior. Using super capacitors for power backup, the
system instantaneously prevents any uncontrolled access to the device’s storage, when a signal
drop is recognized on the device’s main power line.
Development Tool Kit
Micronet's M-317 Development Package provides all the tools required for product evaluation,
application development, and product testing. The Developers Package includes 20 hours of technical
support and contains all of the essential hardware and software components as described in the
following sections.

RAM
The M-317 device provides a total of 512MB of RAM memory (DDR type). Approximately 200MB of the
RAM memory is dedicated for Android system use. The remaining memory is used for RAM storage or
application use (user configurable).
Flash Memory
The M-317 device provides a total of 512MB of Flash memory (NAND type). Approximately 312MB of the
RAM memory is dedicated for Android system use.
The remaining memory is held for data storage and for a Flash File System partition, accessible for the
applications as a persistent data storage drive.
NOTE:
To prevent uncontrolled power cut-off situations that can cause significant Flash File
System damage, verify that you have a proper power connection to the device. For more
details, see Power Management, page 37.
Memory Card Support
The M-317 device provides an MMC / SD card slot with the following parameters:
HC-MMC / SD cards (SDHC) compliant MMC System Specification V4.2 and SD I/O Cards
Specification V2.0
SD memory cards (up to 32GB) supporting FAT16 / FAT32 active disk
Speed: x133
Clocks: Identification mode –400 KHz, data mode 20 MHz
The MMC / SD (SDHC) card slot is located on the right side panel. By default, a user can physically
access the slot. The platform supports two access protection options. For more details, see the following
section.
Device Connector Slot - Rubber Covers
The M-317 device has rubber covers to protect the SD card slot and USB Host connectors from water
