No, Logic's Windows CE BSP supports a subset of the hardware functionality provided by the SOM. Please contact product.sales@logicpd.com for a specific listing.

All Card Engines are designed to be interchangable on all Zoom Starter Development Kit (SDK) baseboards with the exception of the NXP LH79524 Card Engine and Freescale MCF5329/MCF5373 Fire Engines which require different versions of the SDK baseboard.

Logic provides a support infrastructure to assist customers in evaluating our products.
Avenues for evaluation support include...

Schematics and PCB layout files are available in PDF format for SOMs and baseboards when the product has been registered on Logic's website.

Orcad schematics and layout files are only available for the baseboards.

A "custom BSP" is a BSP that Logic develops for a customer's specific needs. Logic does not support a custom BSP as a standard product. Custom BSPs are developed under contract with the customer.

The ELF loader needs to know the address in memory where it should place the incoming binary file. The Greenhill and ARM tools place this information at the very end of an ELF file. When downloading over a non-random access device....

Microsoft charges their own royalty for Windows CE functionality that can change from release to release, so we do not include this in the cost of the SOM. Another reason we do not include it is because it would create multiple costs for the SOM depending on what software is installed.

The LoCE Binary BSP allows the customer all of the flexibility of full source code builds without the hassle of actually having to maintain the source code. The LoCE Binary BSP allows for custom OS designs and software development.

Most of the processor signals are available on the SOM's expansion connector(s). Please refer to the specific SOM Hardware Specification manual for a complete reference.

Yes, the Card Engine connector consists of a 144-pin SODIMM (widely used as laptop memory connectors) and two high-density 80-pin Hirose connectors (widely used in cell phone applications). Logic has leveraged...

Logic has created a standard pin-out design across all Card Engines which is non-proprietary.

The expansion connector pinout is the same, but depending on the specific Card Engine functionality, some peripheral functions may or may not be available or connected. Common peripherals are...

GNU cross development tools for ARM, SH3, SH4 and ColdFire are provided.

LogicLoader supports downloads from serial, TFTP, CompactFlash card, Ethernet, and loading from Microsoft Platform Builder.

Logic developers are actively using the Abatron BDI 2000 to work with ARM, XScale, and ColdFire based hardware.

No, the SOM does not have ESD protection.

The reason for this is that the SOM was designed to be low cost and adaptable to many different applications, which makes it impractical to design in ESD protection....

In the serial EEPROM is where you need to store your script. To have LoLo automatically start this script, "name" it "LOLO" or "VOLO". If the first four bytes in the serial EEPROM are "LOLO" or "VOLO", the LogicLoader software will grab everything after it...

There is a maximum size of 1Kbytes (1024 bytes) for the boot string for Windows CE. This size includes the terminating NULL character,  so you really only have room for 1023 characters plus the NULL character.

It is possible to use NAND with the LH7A404 processor, but the current state of the Card Engine will not support it as is. The Card Engine has the interface on it but is not populated with components and it is not supported as standard product. This can be seen on page 5 of the LH7A404-11 Card Engine Schematic.
