CE Declaration of Conformity
We, PC Engines GmbH, declare that WRAP.1C / WRAP.1D, when installed in the PC Engines
metal enclosure, is in conformance with:
- EN 61000-6-3 and EN 61000-6-4 (EMI emissions, residential and industrial)
- EN 61000-6-1 and EN 61000-6-2 (ESD, susceptibility, residential and industrial)
A copy of the test report will be provided on request.
Compliance information
For FCC, WRAP has been tested as a CPU board, installed in an enclosure, with the top cover
removed. No further testing should be required if the board is used with other FCC tested modular
components. Please see http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ for more details. The responsible party for FCC
is the importer.
Testing for CE mark must be done at the level of the complete product, possibly including the
wireless cards. Please contact PC Engines for assistance and documentation.
For satisfactory resistance to electrostatic discharge events (ESD), the WRAP board should be
grounded (e.g. through the mounting holes, or the serial port connector).
OEM options
The following accessories are available:
• CompactFlash cards
• Power over Ethernet injector POE.1A
The following options can be configured for larger orders:
• DRAM size (32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB)
• CPU speed (233 MHz, 266 MHz, future 300 MHz)
• 1 or 3 Ethernet channels (limit to 1 miniPCI if 3 Ethernet)
• 1 or 0 Serial ports
• Delete front panel LEDs and switch
• Custom BIOS adaptations as needed
• Full BIOS source can be licensed for adaptation by OEM
• USB port (no power over Ethernet, 5V DC supply only)
• Full custom board versions.
Getting started…
- Connect a DC power supply to the DC jack J9. 2.1 mm center pin = positive, sleeve = ground.
A suitable power supply would be e.g. CUI Stack DPS120125P5P (Digi-Key part T923-P5P-
ND). Another supplier to try would be www.jameco.com. In Europe, try www.reichelt.de ->
Werkstattbedarf -> Spannungsversorgungen -> Kleinnetzteile.
- Connect the serial console using a DB9 null modem cable. Default serial port parameters are
38400 8N1. Do NOT use a 1:1 connected serial cable, as the serial port may get damaged.
- While power is off, insert CompactFlash card with your operating system and application in
CompactFlash header J4. Hot swap of CompactFlash cards is not supported !
- Power on…
You should see tinyBIOS startup messages, memory size, CF disk geometry on the serial console.
Setup options
To enter setup, type S during the memory test. You should see the following:
PC Engines WRAP platform
tinyBIOS V1.4a (C)1997-2003 PC Engines
WRAP setup
The active options are marked by *, e.g. *3* means 38400 baud mode is active. Setup options are
stored in a 4KB block of flash, not in RTC CMOS. The following options can be set:
- Baud rate 9600 baud (9) or 38400 baud (3). Default is 38400 baud.
- CompactFlash translation mode CHS (C) or LBA (L). Default is CHS.
- XMODEM upload of new firmware (X). Start transmission when prompted. 128 byte and 1024
byte packet sizes can be accepted, CRC mode only. Checksum mode is not supported as it is
considered too risky for firmware upgrade.
The actual flash update algorithm is included in the uploaded file. Flash programming takes
about two seconds. If power fails during this time, the BIOS chip will need to be
reprogrammed through other means.
- Quit (Q) – setup will ask whether it should write the new settings to flash (Y) or not (N).
OEMs can request a utility to insert their own sign-on message into the BIOS binary.
CompactFlash partitioning
tinyBIOS is set up to configure the CF card in CHS mode. CHS mode is dependent on the
geometry of the CF card, but is more likely to work consistently across systems.
If using LBA mode, please make sure that the disk geometry on the system where the card is
initialized matches that shown by the WRAP BIOS during startup. A mismatch will cause problems.
Thermal sensor
The thermal sensor will reset the system when the temperature exceeds a critical level (power on
default = 80C). Reset will be released when the temperature goes back down.
The LM77 thermal sensor sits on the secondary I2C bus, at address 90h. DOS based sample code is
available on request. National also has a Linux driver for the I2C, not sure if it works.
Real-Time Clock
WRAP does not include a battery backup for the real-time clock (RTC).
The A3 stepping of the SC1100 CPU had a problem with the 32768 Hz oscillator, leading to
potential RTC inaccuracy. This version also was sensitive to ESD on the battery voltage pin.
A backup battery can be connected as follows:
WRAP.1C / .1D: Add a 100 ohm, 0603 resistor in location R5, replace the 0 ohm resistor in
location C105 (bottom side) with a 0.1uF 0603 capacitor, install a 2 pin header in location J1.
Connect 3V Lithium battery to J1, observing the polarity marks.
WRAP.2B / .2C: Connect 3V battery to J7 pin 7 (positive) and pin 8 (negative).
SC1100 is specified for a battery voltage of 2.4 to 3.6V, drain current 7 to 30 µA. At 30µA, a
CR2032 Lithium coin cell will last only about a year – please consider a larger CR123 Lithium (often
used in cameras).
Known issues
Reset may not work reliably on very short power interruptions. Please make sure that power
remains off for at least a second.

# gpioctl -c 2 pp out
This will turn the first led on, to turn off write 1 to the pin,
it's reversed. For the second and the third leds use pins 3 and
18.
