1. IMPORTANT SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION WARNING! ESD-Sensitive Electronic Equipment Observe ESD-safe handling procedures when working with this product. Always use this product in a properly grounded work area and wear appropriate ESD-preventive clothing and/or accessories. Always store this product in ESD-protective packaging when not in use. Safe Handling Precautions The Corona board contains a high density connector with many connections to sensitive electronic components.
2. INTRODUCTION Corona is a SUMIT-ISM form factor wireless and Ethernet Communications module with SUMIT-A and PC/104 (ISA) expandability. High Power Output Diamond’s Corona SUMIT Communications module offers high powered performance in a compact form factor, with peak wireless power up to 600mW. The on-module heatsink assures consistent power output. Designed for Outdoor Applications Corona was designed with outdoor applications in mind.
2.2 SUMIT Socket Resources Corona’s SUMIT-A expansion socket uses the resources indicated in the table below. For further details on the SUMIT expansion standard, visit SFF-SIG.org/sumit.html. 2.3 Cable Kit A cable kit, C-COR-KIT, is available for Corona. It contains the cables in the following table.

5. CONNECTOR AND JUMPER LIST The following table summarizes the functions of Corona’s interface connectors and jumpers. Please refer to the drawings in Section 4 for the locations of these connectors and jumpers on Corona. Signal functions relating to all of Corona’s interface connectors and jumpers are discussed in greater detail in Section 6 of this document. Other connectors and jumper blocks on Corona are reserved for Diamond’s use only.
6. CONNECTOR AND JUMPER PINOUT AND PIN DESCRIPTION 6.1 PC/104 Connector (J1, J2) The PC/104 bus is essentially identical to the ISA bus except for the physical design. It specifies two pin and socket connectors for the bus signals. A 64-pin connector, J1, incorporates the 64-pin 8-bit bus connector signals, and a 40-pin connector, J2, incorporates the 36-pin 16-bit bus connector signals. The additional pins on the PC/104 connectors are used as ground or key pins.
Connector type: Connectors J1 and J2 provide a standard PC/104 ISA stackable expansion bus. There is no PC/104 functionality on Corona. This board simply passes-through the signals of the PC/104 bus. 6.2 Mini-PCI Connector (J3) Mini-PCI Card Type Ill, System Connector Pinout Pin I 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35 37 39 41 43 45 47 49 51 53 55 57 59 61 Signal TIP Key 8PMJ-3 8PMJ-6 8PMJ-7 8PMJ-8 LED1_GRNP LED1_GRNN CHSGND INTB# 3.3V RESERVED GROUND CLK GROUND REQ# 3.
6.3 USB2 and USB3 (J4) Corona features two USB 2.0 ports on a pin header. Connector J4 interfaces to USB ports 2 and 3. USB 2.0 provides a 480Mbps maximum data transfer rate. The shield pin is tied to system ground. Diamond Systems’ cable number 6981082 mates with this connector. These USB signals are driven by the host system that Corona is connected to. Therefore these USB ports are dependent upon the host to provide the signals.
6.5 SDVO Video Input (J7) Connector J7 is used to bring SDVO video in for the purposes of conversion to VGA output. This connector mates to a corresponding connector on Diamond’s Aurora single board computer. 1 SDVO_B_BLUE# 2 BUF_PLT_RST# 3 SDVO_B_BLUE 4 Ground 5 Ground 6 SDVO_B_GREEN# 7 SDVO_CTRLCLK 8 SDVO_B_GREEN 9 SDVO_CTRLDATA 10 Ground 11 Ground 12 SDVO_B_CLK_N 13 +3.3V 14 SDVO_B_CLK_P 15 +3.
6.7 PCIe Routing Jumper (J13) Jumper block, J13, determines the PCIe bus routing on Corona. The default setting routes the PCIe bus to the PLX switch for the mini-PCI WiFi module. For applications not using the WiFi module, the PCIe bus can be rerouted to the SUMIT-A connector and passed up the stack. Pins 7 and 8 on jumper block J13 determine the PCIe routing. All of the other pins and jumpers are reserved for factory use only.
6.8 SUMIT-A Expansion Bus (J11) The SUMIT-A stackable bus is a 52-pin connector. Corona uses the following SUMIT bus functions: 1 PCIe x1 lane 3 USB 2.0 channels Corona’s signal assignments of the SUMIT-A connector appear in below.

7. INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION Corona SUMIT Communications modules are available in two configurations: LAN2-XT. COR-LANWIFI-XT and COR- The COR-LANWIFI-XT model includes the Corona communication board with a WiFi module and one antenna terminator installed. An external SMA wireless antenna can be ordered from Diamond Systems as an accessory, part number ACC-ANT-01, or supplied by the customer. COR-LAN2-XT is the Corona communications board only, with none of the WiFi components installed. 7.
