Serial Ports

The serial ports on the Karbon 800 series motherboard support RS-232, RS-422 Full-Duplex, and RS-485 half-Duplex configurations. The serial port communication mode can be selected in the BIOS configuration. In addition, 5V & 12V power can be enabled on pin 9 in the same BIOS menu. Pin 9 is rated to provide 250mA of current. Refer to the BIOS manual for configuration instructions.

Modbay Expansion

The Karbon 800 series K802 and K804 models feature two Modbay expansion slots. Each slot supports PCIe Gen 3 x2, USB 3.1 Gen 2, and USB 2.0. OnLogic offers a variety of ModBay cards including RJ45 LAN or PoE, M12 LAN or PoE, USB 3, and a carrier card with two additional mPCIe slots (1x PCIe x1 + USB 2.0 and 1x USB 2.0 + SMBUS).

DIO, CAN, Ext. Power Switch

The Karbon 800 series 20-Pin header provides the following interfaces: 8-bit (4-in, 4-out) Digital Input Output (DIO) or General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) with optically isolated terminals, one CAN bus connection, and an optional external power switch connection.

The DIO is optically isolated, meaning that the terminal is separated from other motherboard features for protection. The DIO terminal requires external power from a 5~48V DC source through Pin 20 with GND to Pin 19 in order to function.

The Isolated Power Supply (ISO PSU) can be a voltage source from 5~48V to interface with external digital IO. The maximum power draw from the supply should not exceed 0.6A under normal operating conditions. Individual DOut pins will be damaged by loads in excess of 150mA. The ISO PSU must be a DC Limited Power Source (LPS) power supply.

Mating power switch cables should be a twisted-pair wire with floating shield to assure proper immunity to EMI/RFI. It is recommended to keep wires at less than 3 meters in length. Any remote power switch connected between pins 1 and 2 should be momentary contact type only.

Automotive Ignition Power Sensing (IGN)

The Karbon 800 series 5-pin power input terminal offers automotive ignition sensing. The ignition sensing timing for power on and off delays can be modified through OnLogic’s microcontroller (MCU) using serial commands. These commands can be used to enable or disable the ignition sensing feature, to set the timing delay for system startup after ignition is detected, and to set the timing delay for system soft and hard shutdown after ignition is lost.

The system should always be used with the supplied 5-pin terminal block and power input should use all 4 power pins (2~5).

The system is operational from 12V~48V DC and the maximum rated current of the connector is 15A per pin. A minimum wire gauge of 16 AWG is recommended for 24V installations. Higher power or lower voltage configurations may necessitate a heavier gauge power harness to reduce power loss in the cabling. Always use a wire gauge that is rated for the operational current of your configuration.

When connecting to the mating terminal block plug, only multi-strand wire with a crimped ferrule end should be used. The terminal block screws must be torqued to the rated value (0.5 Nm).

Networking

The Karbon 800 series features up to six 2.5 GbE LAN ports. Two of these LAN ports are PoE capable using an optional onboard module. When the PoE module is installed, the two PoE ports will provide up to 32W of combined power. This power output is enough to support a single port up to 25.5W (IEEE 802.3at), two ports up to 15.4W each (IEEE 802.3af), or two ports with a combined draw up to 32W (e.g. 7W and 25W).

The Karbon 800 supports additional LAN expansion using OnLogic ModBay cards. ModBay cards can be used to add up to eight additional RJ45 LAN or PoE ports, or up to six additional M12 X-coded LAN or PoE ports. The ModBay LAN and PoE expansion cards provide 1 GbE LAN ports using dedicated Intel I210-IT network controllers for each port. Maximum ModBay PoE power output depends on the system voltage input, total system power draw, and operating temperature.

USB Ports

There are six USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type A ports on the Karbon 800 series. All six USB ports are capable of delivering 10 Gbps of bandwidth per port and are rated to 5V @ 900mA of power delivery per USB-IF specification. Optional ModBay cards can be used to add up to eight additional USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports. All USB ports also support USB 2.0 connectivity and have 1xM2.5x0.45 threaded hole per 2 USB ports. Refer to Appendix C for PoE power budgets.

2.5- Thermal Results

The thermal performance of the Karbon 800 was validated by loading the system to simulate expected workloads while the test system was exposed to high ambient temperatures in a thermal chamber environment. Two different workloads were considered, a 16-core 35W load and a 16-Core 65W load evaluated up to 70°C in a K801 chassis which is the worst case thermal scenario. The results were analyzed by comparing the average clock speed over the duration of the test to the expected base clock speed.

Testing Conditions

  • Temperature Range: -40 ~ 70°C

  • Step size: 10°C (except for a jump from 0°C to 30°C during both tests)

  • CPU, SSD, and RAM loaded

Results Summary

The i9-12900 CPU (65W) was able to maintain above 80% base clock speeds as defined by Intel on both the performance cores and efficiency cores up to 50°C ambient temperature. Significant throttling occurred at higher temperatures under the test workload and the CPU did not have thermal headroom for any additional turbo power.

The i9-12900T CPU (35W) was able to maintain above 100% base clock speeds as defined by Intel on both the performance cores and efficiency cores up to 70°C ambient temperature. This indicates that there was thermal headroom for turbo power over the entire 2 hour run at 70°C.

4.4- MCU Documentation

Overview

The microcontroller on Karbon 800 series controls several systems, including:

  • Automotive ignition power sensing

  • CAN bus

  • DIO

  • Status LEDs

  • DisplayPort CEC and persistent EDID

  • Input voltage monitoring

  • RTOS Capabilities

A segment is exposed for user control via two serial ports. By reading and writing to these serial ports, the user can send and receive CAN messages, read/set the DIO state, and select from a number of configuration options. One port is dedicated to Karbon 800’s CAN bus, while the other doubles as a serial terminal and the DIO interface. Any configuration settings may be saved to non-volatile memory which means the MCU settings will be retained during a long power-off.

Accessing the Microcontroller (MCU)

The embedded microcontroller unit (MCU) is used to interface and control various aspects of the system such as CAN, DIO, and ignition sensing. To communicate with the MCU, follow the steps below for your installed OS.

Windows

  1. Download the PuTTy tool from putty.org

  2. Look in Device Manager and find the highest numbered USB serial device, COM5 in this example

  3. Open Putty. Set the connection type to Serial and change COM1 to the COM # you found in the previous step. This example uses COM5.

  4. Click “Open”. This will open a virtual connection to the MCU (no physical cable is required)

  1. To confirm you have the correct port open, type “help” and press enter. The help text should appear. If it does not, try a different COM port.


Linux

  1. Use a program such as PuTTy to interface with the microcontroller (MCU). You can run the following command to install it (you will need an active internet connection for this): sudo install putty

  2. The MCU will typically enumerate as ttyACM0. It enumerates as a serial-interfaceable USB device. If you run into issues accessing ttyACM0, you can run the following command to identify the other port(s): sudo dmesg | grep tty

  1. In this example, the MCU is on ttyACM0. Open PuTTy, enter the port #, and set the connection type as “Serial”. The other settings can be left on their defaults (i.e. baudrate = 9600).

  1. To confirm you have the correct port open, type “help” and press enter. The help text should appear. If it does not, try a different port #.


Microcontroller Commands

A full list of microcontroller commands be be found here in the User MCU Shell documentation here:

MCU Documentation

Automotive Timings

Feature Overview

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

An example configuration is shown below. 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

Ignition sensing can be enabled and adjusted through a virtual COM connection to the system’s microcontroller (MCU). You can open this communication to the MCU using a program such as PuTTy. Refer to the above section Accessing the Microcontroller (MCU) for help accessing the MCU.

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.

Example ignition settings

The following shows an example configuration for automotive timings. Enter each command one by one.

For further help text, type lpmcu config

Command: lpmcu config soft-off-timer [X] Example: lpmcu config soft-off-timer 20

Effect: shutdown X seconds after IGN pin loses power Example: shutdown 20 seconds after IGN pin loses power

CAN & DIO

The Karbon 800 has an embedded NXP i.MX RT1050-series microcontroller that can communicate with the host processor over USB. Its features include:

  • Configuring the system LEDs

  • Reading/writing the system DIO

  • Using system Digital Outputs in PWM mode

  • Configuring system automotive settings

  • Managing the system CAN interface

To provide access to these features, the MCU supports a composite USB-CDC VCOM connection (VID: 0x353F, PID: 0xA101):

  • Interface 0: A UART terminal supporting commands for a range of features

  • Interface 2: A dedicate USB serial CAN interface

C:\Users>python -m serial.tools.list_ports -v

The MCU shell is a fully-featured virtual UART shell exposed over the MCU’s first USB CDC-ACM interface. This shell supports both command history and line editing, and can optionally serve as an output target for driver log messages. For a complete command reference see, the shell command reference.

Firmware Updates

In order to support over-the-air firmware updates, the K800 has a two stage bootloader; a ROM bootloader, that can be started with physical access to the system, and a USB bootloader that supports updates from the OS. Entering the ROM Bootloader (manual): 1. Detach the K800 system from wall power 2. Use a paper clip to depress the settings switch located above the front USB 3.0 ports 3. With the switch held down, re-attach system power 4. The MCU should now boot into the NXP ROM bootloader Entering the USB Bootloader (manual): 1. Boot the K800 to the operating system 2. Use a paper clip to depress the settings switch located above the front USB 3.0 ports 3. With the switch held down, send the ‘reset’ command to the MCU’s UART port 4. The MCU should now boot into the second stage USB bootloader

DIO/CAN/Power Switch header

The Karbon 800 series 20-Pin header provides the following interfaces: 8-bit (4-in, 4-out) Digital Input Output (DIO) or General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) with optically isolated terminals, one CAN bus connection, and an optional external power switch connection. The DIO is optically isolated, meaning that the terminal is separated from other motherboard features for protection. The DIO terminal requires external power from a 5~48V DC source through Pin 20 with GND to Pin 19 in order to function. The Isolated Power Supply (ISO PSU) can be a voltage source from 5~48V to interface with external digital IO. The maximum power draw from the supply should not exceed 0.6A under normal operating conditions. Individual DOut pins will be damaged by loads in excess of 150mA. The ISO PSU must be a DC Limited Power Source (LPS) power supply. Mating power switch cables should be a twisted-pair wire with floating shield to assure proper immunity to EMI/RFI. It is recommended to keep wires at less than 3 meters in length. Any remote power switch connected between pins 1 and 2 should be momentary contact type only.

Connection Diagrams

DIO & LEDs

Examples:

All digital inputs/outputs support reading the current logical state of the pin. Digital outputs additionally support setting the output state of the pin, and digital inputs support reporting the transition count of the pin (both edges). The K800 also support configuring digital outputs as PWMs, and configuring the PWM output’s pulse and duty cycle. For a additional command reference see, the shell command reference. The DIO can also be changed to Byte Mode as documented below.

# Turn on LED 0 output uart:~$ dio set LED0 0 true # Check the state of Digital Input 0 uart:~$: dio get DIO0 input 0

While the microcontroller shell is intended for human interaction, it can be used to programmatically control the MCU. To avoid a number of pitfalls when doing so, observe the following best practices:

  • On Linux, use the symlinked device nodes inside /dev/serial/by-id instead of hardcoding /dev/ttyACMx device names. /dev/ttyACMx numbering is

  • unstable; /dev/serial/by-id/usb-OnLogic_<device>-if00 will reliably point to the terminal interface.

  • When writing Linux shell scripts, ensure that the echo flag is disabled on the TTY by running stty -F /dev/serial/by-id/<device> -echo before

  • interacting with the shell. Most serial libraries (pyserial, serialport-rs, etc.) will automatically disable this flag.

  • When sending a command, precede it with a ‘\x03’ byte to clear the terminal’s line buffer and ensure that the command is interpreted correctly. Follow the command with a ‘\r’ or ‘\n’ character to execute the command.

  • Send less than 64 bytes at a time. To send longer commands, explicitly flush the port’s output buffer in between each block of 64 bytes.

Byte Mode

When using byte mode, DIO commands are sent in the form of command packets, and each command will receive a status (and optional data) as a response.

The command header is eight bytes in length:

CAN

The Karbon 800 has an on-board CAN (Controller Area Network) 2.0 A/B interface. In general, the CAN bus consists of two main signal lines, CAN High and CAN Low. CAN High is biased at a high voltage potential of ~3.5 Volts and CAN Low is biased at a low voltage potential of ~1.5 Volts. The nominal voltage measured between the two signal lines is ~2.5 Volts, serving as a reliable indicator of the K800 CAN bus operational status. Additionally, the CAN bus operates in two states: dominant and recessive. Dominance is represented by logic level 0 and recessive is represented by logic level 1. The K800 CAN interface supports configurable bitrates from 100k – 1M and two message parsing modes: slcan and std.

slcan: an abbreviation for serial line can, is a virtualizing protocol used to transmit CAN messages over serial communication. This bridges the gap between the operating system and the unique differential signaling utilized in the CAN protocol. slcan makes the CAN bus appear as a network interface on the operating system, and can be even be identified as such when looking through the kernel buffer on Ubuntu via

sudo dmesg

Specifically, the K800 supports the following bitrates using slcan interface:

10     20     50     100    125    250    500    800    1000  Kbits/s

std: CAN bus send and receive messages are communicated in their native CAN format. This allows for direct low-level communication between the in-system K800 microcontroller and CAN-compatible devices. The std method of operating the CAN bus can be used without the need for intermediate serialization to communicate with an operating system.

Further details about the CAN bus can be found in the provided resources:

Configuring the K80X as a CAN device

This section describes the physical connection and software configuration needed to set up the K80X platform as a CAN controller in either the Microsoft Windows or Ubuntu Linux based operating systems. Example programs are written in both Python (for both Windows and Linux) and Bash (for Linux).

Materials Required:

  1. Hookup or twisted pair wires

  2. 120 Ohm termination resistors (depending on the CAN setup)

  3. CAN member devices compliant with CAN 2.0 A/B. In our example we will use a second K80X to act as the endpoint device.

Example Network Implementation:

Diagram of a simplified CAN bus network. The figure above shows: 1) Two termination resistors at each end of the bus, 2) required endpoints of the bus acting as either transmitters or receivers, 3) High and Low CAN bus lines, and 4) additional (optional) network members connected on the same signal lines.

Operation Instructions:

The use of the K800 CAN bus can be achieved in four steps.

Step 1: Locate CAN High and CAN Low terminals on the 20-Pin header next to the system power button.

Step 2: Connect CAN Low, CAN High, and (commonly used) ground wires to their designated locations using the Dinkle 0159-0320 20 pin connector. Additionally, bridge CAN Low and CAN High terminals with the proper termination resistor (120 Ohm in this example).

Step 3: Configure the second K80X system with the same wiring connecting the CAN High and Can Low signals of each system. Ensure a second 120 Ohm resistor is used as close as possible to the second K80X 20 Pin connector.

Step 4: Activate the software interface to operate the CAN bus.

The GitHub repository here:

https://github.com/onlogic/K800-CAN-supplemental-material

Provides two utilities with instructions on controlling CAN bus parameters and sending/receiving CAN data in the code comments. Both the software utilities use slcan as the interface to communicate with the CAN bus. The installation commands for required dependencies are included in the header comments of each respective code file.

5.1- Troubleshooting & FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Which LAN ports support PoE?

The K800 can be configured with optional PoE hardware, adding PoE functionality to existing ports, or adding additional PoE ports. Check your configuration to see if your unit has PoE installed.

The optional PoE module supports the 802.3at standard @ up to 25.5 watts per port.

PoE can be added to the native Ethernet ports on either ports 1 & 2 (on the x2 LAN models), or ports 2 & 3 (on the x6 LAN models). Additional ports may be added with the Karbon Modbay cards. K800 series 2-LAN model:

K800 series 6-LAN model:

What Operating Systems are supported?

Windows 10 IoT 2021 and Windows 11 are supported. In most applications it is NOT necessary to disable the e-cores. The K800 also supports Ubuntu 22.04 for Intel IoT with Kernel version 5.15. Other Ubuntu and Kernel versions are not supported on the K800 series.

What chipset do the Ethernet ports uses?

The onboard LAN ports use the I225. The optional 10gig Modbay expansion card uses the X550.

What Baudrate is supported on the K800 COM ports?

The K800 series supports up to 115200 baudrate on the COM ports. Higher baud rates can be achieved by implementing the CAN port.

How do I disable TurboBoost on the CPU?

TurboBoost can be disabled in the BIOS of the system. Navigate to Advanced and set Expert Mode to Enabled. Then, go to: Power & Performance -> CPU – Power Management Control -> Boot Performance -> Set to Max Non-Turbo Performance

How do I enable the external SIM slot?

The K800 series can be configured with an internal modem, the AMIT series modems. If configured with a SIM card, this would be installed internally, directly on the modem. However the modem can be configured to use the external SIM slots to allow easier switching by users. It is recommended to configure the following BIOS setting to enable both external SIM slots:

Setup Utility -> Advanced page -> PCH-IO -> OnLogic Feature Configuration -> SIM Card Muxing -> Set to “Mode 4“ Make sure to Save & Reset via the F10 function key or through the Exit page.

How do I use the integrated video ports, instead of the GPU?

The K800 series can be configured with a GPU. For some customers this is used to drive multiple high-resolution displays, and the video output will automatically output through the GPU. However in some cases you may want to use the GPU for specific computational applications, and use the integrated DisplayPorts. To enable this option, you will want to change the “Primary Display” output in the BIOS. Navigate to:

Setup Utility -> Advanced page -> Set “Expert Mode” to Enabled Then go to: Setup Utility -> Advanced -> System Agent (SA) Configuration -> Graphics Configuration -> Primary Display -> Change to “IGFX” Make sure to Save & Reset via the F10 function key or through the Exit page.

Motherboard Reset (Clear CMOS)

If the K800 fails to power on or is otherwise unresponsive, a CMOS reset may help. Follow the procedure outlined below to clear the CMOS.

  1. Unplug the system completely – remove power and all peripherals

  2. Use a long, thin tool, such as a straighten a paperclip

  3. Locate the unlabeled CMOS reset hole next to the HDD LED

  4. Using the tool/paperclip, depress the button inside for 30 seconds.

  1. Reconnect the system and turn it back on.

  2. Do not touch the system for 2 minutes. It may reboot several times while it reconfigures the CMOS.

  3. If successful, the unit should boot back up and run normally. It is now ready to use again. If the unit is still not responsive, reboot it one more time and then contact OnLogic Tech Support.

Can’t access the BIOS, System loads straight into the OS

The system supports Fast Boot, which is a configurable BIOS setting. With Fast Boot enabled, the unit will disable booting to Network, Optical, and USB/removable drives. Video and USB devices (such as keyboards) will not initialize until the OS loads. This can make it difficult to reinstall an OS, or change any BIOS settings, and make the BIOS harder to access. To enter the BIOS follow the steps below for your specific OS.

Windows

From the Start Menu, hold Shift and click Restart to access the Recovery screen, then go to “Advanced” and select “UEFI Firmware Settings”. The system will reboot and allow access in the the BIOS. You may need to repeatedly press DEL/F2 keys while the system is rebooting.

Linux

From Terminal, run the following command: systemctl reboot --firmware-setup

This will trigger the system to reboot and allow access into the the BIOS. You may need to repeatedly press DEL/F2 keys while the system is rebooting.

Once you’ve accessed the BIOS, you can find the Fast Boot setting under the Boot tab.
