Titan 290 EHL (SYS-D63-IPC)

info

Depending on the configuration and following revisions, the features of the board are subject to change. For detailed information on hardware specifications, please visit www.seco.com

Titan 290 EHL is a PicoITX compliant module with the Intel® Atom® x6000E Series and Intel® Pentium® and Celeron® N and J Series processors. Designed and optimized for Functional Safety (FuSa) applications, this module offers flexibility, reliability, and safety for a wide range of applications across multiple industries.

For ordering purposes, Titan 290 EHL is referred to by its base code, "SYS-D63-IPC".


How can I use GPIO/I2C/SPI peripherals?

Please refer to the following instructions to prevent damage!

D63 has 2 connectors to use GPIOs and other peripherals like I2C, SPI, PWM and QEP. Here you can find the schematic:

To make those functionalities available on all boards, and for more flexibility, they are not multiplexed by HW, but is all managed in the BIOS setup. Here you can find a table on where functionalities are available:

Legend : SOC → Chipset peripheral
EC → Embedded controller peripheral

PeripheralWindows (RH Proxy)Linux (Native driver)EAPI
SOC SPI1
SOC SPI3
EC SPI
QEP0
QEP1
PWM1 (SOC PWM06)
PWM2 (SOC PWM02)
SOC I2C0
EC I2C0
SOC I2C1
EC I2C1
GPIO 0-7 (EC)
GPIO 0-7 (SOC)

By default, all pins are set as Input Hi-Z. So, if you want to use another funtionality, you need to enable it on setup. Here are 2 tables on how to enable peripherals and what you can use simultaneously:

GPIO 0-7 (Chipset)Disable conflicting functions if you want to use the pin as GPIO. GPIO pins can't be used both from MEC and Chipset. MEC GPIO Pins has to be set as Input if you want to use Chipset GPIO pins

What is loaded in a standard module?

Off-the-shelf products are shipped with a standard in-house-developed software. The definition of standard, in this case, is "the environment which SECO adopts for validation". Anyway, custom in-house-developed __ software with different defaults can be built in accordance with customers' requirements submitting a new ticket.

The BIOS version updated in your module is shown in Aptio Setup Utility menu under:

  • Main page

  • Advanced SMBIOS Information page
