The APOLLO is an EBX format, high-performance, high-functionality PC-compatible

processor board designed for embedding into OEM equipment. The board is based on

the Intel 855GME/ICH4 chipset and supports a range of Intel Pentium M and Celeron M

mobile processors to offer a combination of high performance computing features with

low power dissipation.

It offers all standard features and connectors found on a PC motherboard including:

Multiple video ports.•

•

Audio.

Two Ethernet ports.

CF+ CompactFlash Type II socket.

Four serial ports, parallel port, IrDA port.

Primary IDE interface.

Six USB 2.0 compliant ports.

Two IEEE1394a-2000 compliant (Firewire) ports.

General purpose IO and user defined jumpers.

Factory build options available include a Gigabit Ethernet option. (This replaces one of

the 10/100 Ethernet controllers).

The board is able to run all popular operating systems including Windows XP/XPe

and Linux.

Typical applications for the APOLLO include:

Low power, high density server racks.

1U or 2U systems with passive cooling for fan-less operation.

Systems requiring high levels of hardware/software security.

Server/client systems using Trusted Computing.

Compact kiosk systems.

The board can be purchased in the following variants:

Standard.

Gigabit.

Celeron M 600MHz.

All options are also available with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) option.

APOLLO Technical Manual Introduction

Support products

The APOLLO is supported by the following optional products:

1U 19" wide APOLLO ICE (Industrial Compact Enclosure)

Provides easy-to-use system solutions for embedded SBC applications. It is

manufactured from 0.9mm (20 SWG) finished mild steel. The enclosure conforms to

the 19" 1EC6O297-1/2 DIN 41494 and MEP IEC 60917-2-1 standards and therefore

meets the 19" 1U specification in height and width. Depth is approximately 350mm.

•

The APOLLO ICE contains:

- 180W AC ATX PSU: Auto-ranging 100-240V AC @ 47 - 63Hz.

- Standard IO connections from rear panel.

- On/Off switch, power and HDD activity LEDs.

- Front panel connections for USB ports and IEEE1394 port.

- Access to a front panel reset switch.

- PCI riser card with two card expansion slots.

- Floppy disk, hard disk drive and CD/DVD writeable drive.

- Front panel LCD display with navigation/input switches and user LEDs.

- Tamper detect switch for enclosure lid.

LCD display

An AU Optronics 15" XGA (1024x768) color TFT LCD display interfaces directly with

the LVDS signals provided by the APOLLO. The display has a 400:1 contrast ratio,

16ms response time and a dual CCFL backlight providing 350nits of screen

brightness.

TSC1 (TouchScreen Controller)

The Arcom TSC1 can be used to provide analog resistive touchscreen support for

the APOLLO. The TSC1 is designed to directly interface between four-, five- or

eight-wire analog touchscreens and a serial connection. A 1:1 ribbon cable can be

used to connect directly to one of the RS232 ports on the APOLLO. A separate +5V

connection is also required.

15"Touchscreen

Glass-backed 15" touchscreens are available for use in conjunction with the 15"

LCD display. Two touchscreens are available: a four-wire option and an eight-wire

option. These interface directly with the Arcom TSC1 touchscreen controller.

For more details about any of the above options, please go to www.arcom.com or

contact the Arcom sales team (see page 47).

APOLLO Technical Manual Introduction

Development kits

Arcom offers development kits for the APOLLO board. A choice of three different

configurations is available:

Windows XP Embedded contained on 1GB CompactFlash card.•

•

Windows XP Professional Edition contained on 2.5" 40GB IDE HDD.

No operating system, no mass storage.

All three configurations are supplied with a Pentium M 1.6GHz processor, 512MB

PC2700 DDR SDRAM and are based on the Gigabit Ethernet APOLLO variant.

A range of options are available with all three development kits. Please contact the
