2.3- Power Management

Average Power Consumption

The power consumption of the K410 and K430 was measured for various system configurations, workloads, and power states at both 9V and 48V system input voltages. Tests were performed using Burnintest v9.0 build 1012 to stress system components with and without graphics enabled. The build configurations and power consumption are listed in the tables below.

The configurations below are using representative samples of internal devices, the specific components mentioned below may vary from the devices provided by OnLogic. The power consumption for each system configuration is recorded below.

Protection Circuitry

The specified DC levels are the absolute maximum values for function and safety of the system. The protection circuitry allows for brief transient voltages above these levels without the system turning off or being damaged. A transient voltage suppressor on the power input allows momentary excursions above stated limits.

The Karbon 400 platform enables a unique low power state for use in automotive or battery powered applications. When enabled, the total power draw for the system is less than 10mA, making this solution ideal for systems requiring ultra-low quiescent power draw. This setting must be enabled from the OS similar to ignition settings. The system may be woken by either the power button or the ignition pin.

Wake-Up Events

The Karbon 400 platform supports multiple power states. The wake-up events can be configured in the BIOS. This section describes the supported power management functions and gives information on protection circuitry for power adapters.

Auto Power On

The system can be configured to turn on automatically when DC power is connected. This is useful for power outage recovery or if the unit is mounted in a hard to reach location. You can enable Auto Power On by following the steps listed below.

  • Power on the system and immediately press the Del key a few times until you see the “Front Page” menu

  • Arrow down and choose “Setup Utility” by pressing enter

  • Under the advanced tab, open the “RC Advanced Menu”

  • Open the “PCH-IO Configuration” menu

  • The auto power on setting is called “State After G3”.

  • Set it to S0 State to enable auto power on

  • Set it to S5 State to disable auto power on

  • Press F10 to save and exit. Then you are all set.

2.4- Thermal Results

The thermal performance of the Karbon 400 platform was validated by loading the system to simulate workloads in excess of expected workloads. That is to say, the system was loaded to run at its full rated TDP (12W) while also simultaneously stressing memory and storage at different set points across the system's rated operating temperature range for hours on end. System performance was reviewed to look for any indication of performance issues or for components operating outside of their rated temperature range. Samples of data collected during one of these thermal evaluations for this platform are shown below. The sample data was collected during a test of the K410 chassis with the x6425E processor, 64 GB of DDR4 RAM and an NVMe storage drive. Of note in these results is the fact that no significant drops (10% or more) were observed in core frequency or package power.

There were no indications of any throttling in the system throughout the entirety of the test.

4.3- Features & Configuration

Installing the PSE Driver on Windows 10

To make the PSE on the K400 system work, we will need to install the PSE driver on the system. The PSE driver is included in the K400 driver package, you can download the package from our Drivers & Downloads section above.

If the PSE driver is not installed, you will find a “Base SystemDevice” with exclamation mark in Device Manager

  • Click the “Update Driver” button in Driver tab,

  • Then follow the instructions on screen to install the driver.

  • Select “Browse my computer for drivers”

  • Click on the “Browse” button and navigate to the extracted drivers folder

  • Select the top level folder

After clicking on the “OK” button, the driver will be installed.

Then the PSE driver is installed now.

Installing the build tool

We will need to install the VS2022 build tools to compile the PSE sample code. You can install the build tool from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/?q=build+tools#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2022

After downloading the installer, install the “Desktop development with C++” option. Then you can build the PSE sample project using cmake from the Visual Studio developer command prompt.

Building

We are ready to compile the PSE sample code. The PSE sample code is available below. Please download it and unzip to the local driver, then run “x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022” as Administrator from the start menu.

In the command prompt, navigate to the PSE source code folder and run the following command to build,

mkdir build && cd build

cmake -A Win32 ..

cmake --build .

After build finished, you can find the executable file in <work directory>\build\src\Debug\

The PSE sample code provides examples to use the DIO, CAN, and Automotive features on the system.

Using the PSE

Sample C Code

This PSE sample code demonstrates how to manipulate the DIO interface from C language in Windows 10 environment. You can download the sample C code from here:

Download Sample C Code

Integration

To integrate the PSE function in your own application, you will need to add pse.c (located under /pse_examples/src/win) in your project. Then include pse.h in your source code.

pse.c provides APIs to connect and help to communicate to the PSE engine. The basic work flow is very simple as following diagram,

4.4- MCU Documentation

Automotive Ignition Timings

Feature Overview

The ignition sense feature can be used to turn the Karbon unit on and off with a vehicle’s ignition. It can also be used in non-automotive applications using a switch instead.

An example configuration is shown below for Windows. The switch connects positive DC power to the IGN pin. The unit will turn on when power is applied to the IGN pin, and turn off when power is removed. These events have configurable delays.

Enabling and controlling ignition sense

  • Download the control application from the link above

  • Run Command Prompt as administrator

  • Navigate to the directory where you put the control application.

  • Example: In this picture, the HWC file is saved to the Desktop. Navigating there allows access to the file.

  • Once you have navigated to the directory that the HWC file is located, execute the following commands in order:

hwc ign set ignition-sense -v 1
hwc ign set low-power-mode -v 1
hwc ign set shutdown-timer -v 10
hwc ign set startup-timer -v 10
hwc ign set hard-off-timer -v 3000

Change Windows Settings

  • Ignition sensing simulates a power button press. In Windows, the default behavior of the power button press is to put the system into Sleep mode. You will want to change that to “Shut Down” instead.

  • Windows “fast startup” will interfere with ignition sensing, so this should be disabled.

  • Power down the system and you can turn it back on by connecting positive power to the IGN pin. This will give you a basic ignition timings setup with 10 second delays. Reference the table below for customizations.

Ignition Sensing Commands

hwc ign set command -v value

hwc ign get command

Command

Description

Possible Values

ignition-sense

Enables or disables ignition sense

0=off, 1=on

low-power-mode

Reduces idle power consumption (recommended on when ignition sense is used)

0=off, 1=on

startup-timer

The delay between IGN power being applied and the unit turning on

1-2147483647 (seconds)

shutdown-timer

The delay before Windows is shut down when IGN power is cut

1-2147483647 (seconds)

hard-off-timer

After the shutdown timer has completed, power will be fully cut after X number of seconds. This is useful in case the system freezes at shutdown.

1-2147483647 (seconds)

low-voltage-timer

The low voltage shutdown can be delayed by X number of seconds. A value of at least 10 is recommended to avoid voltage drop related shutdowns – i.e. when the engine is started.

30-2147483647 (seconds)

shutdown-voltage

The unit can shut itself down when a certain low voltage threshold is reached. This helps prevent over discharging a battery. (1150 => 11.5V)

600-4700 (centi-volts)

system-voltage

This command reports the current voltage value that the system is running on. The output will read in this format: “cvl 1202”, which means the Current Voltage Level is 1202 cV (centivolts), or 12.02 volts.

0-4700 (centivolts)

DIO and CAN

The Karbon K410 and K430 series systems offer CAN bus and (optionally) isolated DIO (Digital Input/Output) support. This functionality is through the processor’s supporting ARM microcontroller, known as the Programmable Services Engine (PSE).

The PSE is isolated from the core processor, runs its own OS (Zephyr RTOS), but can be sent messages over the system’s Host Embedded Controller Interface (or HECI). The Zephyr OS is transparent to the user. This interface may be used to send and receive CAN messages alongside setting and reading the Digital IO. Note: Packages such as SocketCAN are not supported.

Quickstart

Requirements: A K410 or K430 with Windows and the latest HECI driver. The HECI Windows driver is provided and supported by Intel, and will be preinstalled on K410 units purchased with Windows. If Windows is installed by the user, the driver is included with our driver package linked at the top of this page.

Note: We recommend you update to the latest BIOS version for the best compatibility with this application.

  1. Download the K410’s hardware control command line application.

  2. Open a command window, and navigate to the location of the downloaded file.

    1. Press the Windows Key + R

    2. Type cmd.exe and hit Enter

    3. In the window that opens navigate to the download location:

      1. e.g. cd C:\User\Username\Downloads

  3. Display the built-in help text:

    1. hwc.exe --help

DIO Examples

The (optional) MOD110 digital input/output (DIO) expansion adds up to eight digital inputs and outputs to the system, and an additional CAN port. It also optionally provides support for pulse width modulation (PWM) on three of the eight digital output pins, and support for using a quadrature encoder peripheral (QEP) in place of the first and/or second group of three digital inputs.

Application Integration

See Using the K400 PSE with Ubuntu for information about C sample code and a reference on command packing and communication.

The HECI interface uses packed structures to send data between the host and PSE. Specific type structures are provided in the sample code, but an outline of the message format is available below:

Bits

Description

0 – 7

HECI Command Identifier: 0x01: System Information: 0x02: Digital IO 0x04: Can Bus

8

Set as ‘1’ if this message is a response from the PSE

9

Set as ‘1’ if this message contains a valid data body

10 – 25

Packed ‘argument’ for a given command. Format depends on the command identifier.

26 – 31

Status of last command

32 – 39

Data format of body: 0: Raw data 1: Version information 2: CAN message 4: DIO message 7: ASCII String

40 – 168

Body of message data, usually in the form of another packed structure.

5.1- Troubleshooting & FAQ

Motherboard Reset (Clear CMOS)

If the system fails to power on or output video, clearing the CMOS can often help. To clear the CMOS, the system needs to be opened and an internal switch needs to be pressed.

Opening the system does not void the warranty, however, some precautions are necessary to avoid damaging the unit. Any damaged caused will not be covered by warranty.

  • Perform this disassembly in an area free of static discharge

  • Before beginning, touch a grounded metal surface to discharge your body of static electricity

  • Power off and unplug the system. Disconnect all ports.

  • Remove the 4 Torx T8 screws from the bottom of the chassis

  • Use a small flathead screwdriver to pry the bottom plate off using the notch.

  • Locate the golden clear CMOS button

  • Hold down the clear button for 30 seconds.

  • Re-assemble the system. Do not over tighten the screws.

  • Re-connect the system and power it on.

  • Do not touch it for 2 minutes. Wait and see if it outputs video.

RS422 and RS485 Require SerCx2

Overview

Category:
Software / Drivers

SKU(s) Affected:

K410, K430

Revision(s) Affected:

All release hardware

Revision Resolved:

Workaround

Severity:

Low

Description

Configuring the system to use RS422 or RS485 serial modes on Windows requires using the SerCx2.sys driver framework. Most existing serial utilities only support the Serial.sys driver framework, requiring the use of Windows APIs to use the RS422/485 serial device.

RS232 serial mode uses the Serial.sys driver framework.

Workaround

A UART Sub-Device driver is available for download, and provides a mapping layer to the Serial.sys driver framework. This driver does not support setting the DTR/DTS hardware lines, which may result in compatibility issues with some software packages, including PuTTy.

Resolution

There are no planned changes to the serial framework.

Digital and Chassis Ground Not Isolated

Overview

Category:
Hardware / PCB

SKU(s) Affected:

K410, K430

Revision(s) Affected:

B01-00005R(1-5)

Revision Resolved:

B01-00005R6

Severity:

Low

Description

For all PCB revisions (5R1-5R5), the SIM slot connects the digital and chassis ground planes, removing isolation between the two. Under normal operating conditions, the function of the motherboard should not be affected.

Customers who rely on chassis ground isolation are recommended to isolate the chassis from earth ground externally.
