Debug Interfaces
3.3.1
Processor and PCH Debug
An XDP (Extended Debug Port) connector is provided at J1C1 for processor run control
debug support. A port 80-83 display add-in card can also be used for debug. The port
80-83 add-in card can be used on the TPM header located at J9A1.
The XDP interface is backwards compatible with the ITP interface. The ITP tools from
ITP 3.0 onwards are supported. Only JTAG and BPM support is available through ITP;
no others hooks are available.
An XDP Connector is also provided at J8H3, for PCH debug support.
3.4
Chassis
The development board form factor is compliant to the full-size ATX specification and
uses a 10-layer board
12” x 9.6”.

Power Supply Solutions, Usage, and
Recommendations
3.5.1
Power Supply Solutions
The development board can be powered from three different power sources: an ATX
power supply, an AC/DC switching power supply or ‘Mobile Brick’, or up to two
external batteries. The board contains all of the voltage regulators necessary to power
up the system. There are two main supported power supply configurations, Desktop
and Mobile. The Desktop solution consists of only using the ATX power supply. The
Mobile solution consists of using the Intel Adaptive Mobile Power Systems AC brick in
conjunction with the batteries. When the Mobile solution is being used either AC brick
or batteries can be plugged in. When both AC brick and the batteries are connected at
the same time, the batteries are monitored and charged if necessary.
Note:
Desktop hard drives and cards can only be used with ATX.
Please use an “ATX12V” 1.1 specification-compliant power supply regardless of vendor
or wattage level (an "ATX12V" rating means V5 min current =0.1 A, "ATX" V5 min
current = 1.0 A, among other differences). For example, the Sparkle Model No.
FSP300-60BTVS* meets this requirement and is an ATX12V 1.1 specification-
compliant power supply.
The board uses the iAMPS (Intel
®
Adaptive Mobile Power System) solution for AC
brick. For more details, please see the Intel
®
Adaptive Mobile Power System (Intel
®
AMPS) Application Note (document number 348456).
