1 Overview 1.1 Introduction The EXP-ISO-COM8 is an Add-on Module conforming to the EPIC Express Specification. It comprises eight independent serial ports with RS232 / RS422 / RS485 standards. Especially for the embedded market all interfaces are galvanic isolated that external distortions cannot damage the whole Module as well as the CPU board. The galvanic isolation is a good solution for potential differences with interconnections. The EXP-ISO-COM8 supports Stack-up and Stack-down to a CPU Module.

1.7 Hardware Setup Caution Be sure to observe the EMC security measures. Make sure you are always at the same potential as the module. Caution Do never connect or disconnect the EXP-ISO-COM8 Add-on Module with a CPU board while that is running. Be sure that your power supply is able to provide enough current to your system. An insufficient power supply leads to an instable system. The EXP-ISO-COM8 does not need any cooling devices. TME-EXP-ISO-COM8-R1V0 Rev 1.
1.8 Software Setup Driver packages are available for the following operating systems: Linux Windows XP Please contact our support department support@lippertembedded.com or have a look at the website www.lippertmebedded.com for downloading the necessary drivers. Installation guide and all necessary information is provided in the driver package. TME-EXP-ISO-COM8-R1V0 Rev 1.
2 Module Description 2.1 OXPCIe958 The device combines a fully integrated, single-lane PCI Express end-point controller and SerDes with eight high-performance 950 UART. The OXPCIe958 achieves outstanding performance including 128 byte transmit and receive FIFOs of the 950 UART, with advanced system management features such as MSI/MSI-X interrupt handling and bus master DMA to maximize data throughput while substantially reducing CPU and system overheads.

2.3 PCI/104 Express Bus Interface The EXP-ISO-COM8 uses x1 link of the PCI/104-Express bus. According to the EPIC Express specification it depends on the stacking position above or below the CPU board which link is used. On the module there is a PCI Express switch that detects the type of connection and forwards the other links according to the specification.
