Overview

The TS-TPC-8900 is a complete touch panel computer solution comprised of a 10" TFT LCD, TS-8900 baseboard and a choice of System-on-Module CPUs. It is an ideal solution for applications requiring a touch screen human machine interface (HMI), such as industrial automation, home automation, self-service machines, and point-of-sale terminals. This product offers an excellent value with a full range of features and industry standard connectors and a fanless, low power, high performance modular design. TS-TPC-8900 also provides an upgrade path for embeddedTS's customers currently using TS-TPC-7390, TS-TPC-7395, and TS-TPC-8390 products.

TS-4700

See the TS-4700 page for functionality regarding the CPU, FPGA, and OS.

TS-4700 Marvell PXA166 800MHz ARM9

Getting Started

The TS-8900 board has no specific boot sequence since the processor and Linux Operating System are located on the selected TS-4000 Series System-on-Module (SoM.

Before attempting to apply power to the TS-8900, perform the following steps while taking proper static discharge precautions

  • Place the TS-8900 base board on a firm non-conductive surface
    • Alternatively on the provided stand.
  • Carefully, insert the TS-4000 Series SoM daughterboard by aligning and pressing evenly and firmly onto the pair of mating connectors
  • Connect the RC-DB9 to the 10 pin CONSOLE header lining up the red wire to the white dot on the board.
  • Connect the Ethernet cable if applicable.
  • Apply 6-28V of power to the two power pins. Please note the polarity printed on the board.
    • Alternatively, you can use POE to power the board. Use only the RJ45 port closest to the SoM for POE.
  • Monitor the TS-SOCKET SBC using a terminal emulator connected to the serial console port to verify that the board is operating properly

See the TS-4700 page for more details on dealing with the functionality of the System-on-Module.

Features

10" Screen

The interface to the screen is a standard Linux framebuffer, or X11 server. You can find more information about graphical development on the TS-4700 here.

COM Ports

This board has 1 CPU UART at /dev/ttyS0 used for debugging, and 7 XUARTs. The XUARTs by default do not have a /dev/ entry, but you can use xuartctl to create one.

Port Type RX (or 485 +) TX (or 485 -)

XUART0 RS485 COM1 header pin 1 COM1 header pin 6

PC104

See the TS-4700#MUXBUS section for more details on working with the MUXBUS peripherals.

The PC104 header on this board can be used as either GPIO, or ISA for communication with common PC104 peripherals. The connector consists of two rows of pins labeled A and B, the numbering of of which is shown below. The signals for the PC-104 are generated by the LFXP2 located on the baseboard.

Any of the IO on this board labelled DIO_ can be controlled through tsctl as PC104_A/B<pin>, or through manipulation of the registers directly.

# Start tsctl server if it is not already running.
# This only needs to be done once
tsctl --server &

# Lookup the logical DIO mapping of the PC104 header pin A16
eval `tsctl 127.0.0.1 System MapLookup PC104_A16`
# If you run this outside of the eval it will return:
# PC104_A16=138

# Toggle the DIO high and low:
tsctl 127.0.0.1 DIO Set $PC104_A16 high
tsctl 127.0.0.1 DIO Set $PC104_A16 low

You can also drive these DIO to manually manipulate the PC104 address to make peripherals usable that require a higher range of address than provided by the default address space of the MUXBUS.

Product Notes

FCC Advisory

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly (that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions), may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference when operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the owner will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

If this equipment does cause interference, which can be determined by turning the unit on and off, the user is encouraged to try the following measures to correct the interference:

Reorient the receiving antenna. Relocate the unit with respect to the receiver. Plug the unit into a different outlet so that the unit and receiver are on different branch circuits. Ensure that mounting screws and connector attachment screws are tightly secured. Ensure that good quality, shielded, and grounded cables are used for all data communications. If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. The following booklets prepared by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) may also prove helpful:
