1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

Catalyst is a high performance, low power module based on the Intel® Atom™ processor. It uses

an integrated two-chip solution comprised of the Intel Atom processor and Intel System Controller

Hub (SCH) US15W. The Intel Atom processor utilizes the new low power Intel micro

architecture, while the Intel SCH US15W contains an integrated 2D/3D graphics controller

supporting hardware accelerated graphics display and video processing capabilities. Catalyst

allows embedded users to gain higher performance with greater energy efficiency.

An application-specific carrier board integrates with the Catalyst module for a total production

solution. This flexible, modular architecture enables easy customization and quick time-to-

market. The Eurotech carrier board implements industry standard interfaces allowing

development across a broad spectrum of end-use applications. This design provides a reference

for unique carrier boards optimized for high performance, low power applications such as

ruggedized handheld, multimedia, medical, point of service, and industrial designs.

This manual describes the Catalyst development system, which includes the Catalyst module, the

Eurotech carrier board, and supporting peripheral devices. A complete description of the system

2.2 Frequently Asked Questions

The following are some of the most commonly asked questions about development systems:

Q: When I plug in power, my screen is white and nothing comes up on it.

A: Check the connector seating. The flat panel connector may have come loose in shipping.

Press it firmly into the panel and reapply power to your system.

Q: Do I need to observe any ESD precautions when working with the system?

A: Yes. Where possible, work on a grounded anti-static mat. At a minimum, touch an

electrically grounded object before handling the board or touching any components on the board.

Q: Who can I call if I need help developing my application?

A: Eurotech provides technical support to get your development system running. For customers

who establish a business relationship with Eurotech, we provide support to develop applications

and drivers.

Catalyst Development System User’s Manual

Page 6 110122-30013, preliminary

Q: Is there online support?

A: Yes. Information about the Catalyst hardware and software is available on the Eurotech

support site.

Q: Can I upgrade the version of the operating system?

A: Yes. Eurotech provides regular operating system updates on its developers' web site. For

operating systems not maintained by Eurotech, contact the operating system vendor.

Q: I would like to interface to a different display panel. How can I do this?

A: Eurotech may have already interfaced to the panel of which you are interested. Consult

Eurotech for availability.

3 Hardware Reference

This section gives an overview of the hardware features of the Catalyst development system. The

overview includes a description including location and pinouts of the switches, indicators, and

connectors.

3.1 Identifying Connectors

This section describes the location and numbering of headers and connectors on the board.

3.1.1 Locating Connectors

The following diagram illustrates the location of key components on the Catalyst development

system. The Catalyst module is located in the center of the carrier board indicated by a shaded

area. Two headers, J1 and J2, lie under the module. Connector J8 is populated on the underside

and is indicated with a dashed line border.

Components are located based upon the grid overlay of the component side of the carrier board

shown next. For example, the DC power input, J29 lies at location A4, and the SD/MMC 0

connector, J51, covers D5 through E6. Component locations given in this section refer to this

diagram.

3.1.2 Determining Pin Numbers

Most double-row headers place even pins on one side and odd pins on the

other. The diagram at right indicates how pins are numbered, as seen from

the component side

2

of the board. Connector J28 is an exception and does

not follow this numbering. This connector conforms to the ATX Specification v2.2 for power

supplies (Section 3.3.22).

To locate pin 1 of a connector or jumper, try the following:

1. Look for a visible number or marking on the board that indicates connector pin numbering. A

notch or dot usually indicates pin 1.

2. Look at the underside of the board. The square pad is pin 1.

3. Download the mechanical drawing of the carrier board from the Eurotech support site. The

square or indicated pad on each connector is pin 1.

3.2 Switches, Controls and Indicators

This section describes various switches, jumpers, and indicators on the carrier board. The location

indicated for each item refers to the grid diagram in Section 3.1.1.

3.2.1 SW1: Reset

Location on board: G1

SW1 is the reset button for the Catalyst module. This switch connects to the front panel reset

signal, /SWX_RESET (J55 pin 7, Section 3.3.40). Pressing SW1 initiates a hardware reset of

module circuitry including the processor. Press this button to restart the system without cycling

power.

3.2.2 SW2: On/Off

Location on board: G2

SW2 is the On/Off button for the Catalyst module. This switch connects to the front panel power

signal, /SWX_ONOFF (J55 pin 6, Section 3.3.40). SW2 controls power on/off or indicates a

power state change.

3.2.3 S1: Radio Disable

Location on board: G4

S1 is a one-position slide switch that controls the radio operation of a wireless communications

add-in card connected to the Mini PCIe 0 interface (Section 3.3.13) When in the "ON" position,

the switch grounds the signal, /W_DISABLE, disabling the radio. Otherwise, the signal connects

directly to 3.3 V power.

2

The component side of the Catalyst module is the one on which the processor and most large

chips are populated. The component side of the carrier board is the one that mates to the module.

D26 green On indicates 3.3 V primary supply voltage (V3.3)

D27 green On indicates 3.3 V “always” power (V3.3A)

D28-D30: Thermal Monitoring LEDs

Location on board: G2-G3

Three red LEDs indicate thermal monitoring. The carrier board CPLD controls one LED, while

the other two LEDs connect to a three-channel digital thermometer, ADT7482, located on the

carrier board. This thermometer measures two remote sensors, in addition to the ambient

temperature. The two LEDs connect to the thermometer alert signals indicating when the

temperature is outside the programmed limits.

LED Type Description

D28 red On indicates alert controlled by carrier board CPLD

D29 red On indicates thermometer alert 1

D30 red On indicates thermometer alert 2

D33-D35: Mini PCIe 0 Status LEDs

Location on board: E5-E6

LED Type Description

D33 green On indicates WPAN (Section 3.3.13)

D34 green On indicates WLAN

D35 green On indicates WWAN

D36: Port 80 Status Display

Location on board: G2

3.2.6 Display Adapter LED Indicators

The Catalyst display adapter has two green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to indicate system

operation. The tables provided in this section describe the LED functionalities.

D1: Backlight On LED

This LED indicates the status of the backlight control signal on the display adapter board.

LED Type Description

D1 green On indicates backlight power

D2: Power On LED

This LED on the adapter indicates when power is applied to the display adapter board.

LED Type Description

D2 green On indicates 3.3 V on the display adapter power
