Some Questions About UP Core Series

Petersoj — Fri, 03 Jun 2022 01:39:19 +0000

I have some questions regarding the UP Core Series hardware specs.

Does Core Series include USB OTG? It doesn't say if the USB peripheral has OTG capabilities the datasheet, but I need an UP SBC with USB OTG capabilities so that my SBC can be come a USB device/gadget. If so, is this OTG for USB 2.0 or USB 3.0?
Are there UP Core Series boards with the connector receptacles (power, HDMI, USB) not included? Such a board would look similar to the Raspberry Pi 4 Compute Modules which do not have receptacles soldered onto the board itself, making its volume profile smaller and more fit for smaller embedded devices.
In order to use the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity on the UP Core, is there a requirement to use an external antenna with an SMA connector, or is there a patch antenna (PCB trace) on the UP Core that serves as an on-board antenna?

Thanks.

Behaviour of the "PMU_ PLT_RST#" (A11) on the UP Core Plus

alfie — Sun, 06 Jun 2021 22:11:48 +0000

I am trying to interface a microchip LAN7430 to the UP Core Plus on a custom carrier board. The LAN7430 has an input called "PERST#" or "PCIe Reset" which the host uses to indicate PCIe power and data are present. Is "PMU_ PLT_RST#" (A11) the correct pin for this function?

Power available from 5V rails?

alfie — Sun, 02 May 2021 22:23:20 +0000

Assuming the UP Core Plus ATOM Quad Core 04/64 (memory 4GB, eMMC 64GB) is supplied from 12V with enough current capacity, how much current is available from the 5V rail on the expansion connectors to run carrier boards?

CSI-2 raw data access

mcevms — Sun, 29 Nov 2020 10:44:30 +0000

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum, but I was wondering from a system-level perspective if the UP Core Plus fits our requirements namely we want to capture raw data on the CSI-2 interface coming from an in-house sensor.

A Raspi-4 allows that by using raspiraw, more or less well documented but seems to capture data directly on the CSI-2 interface. What about the UP Core Plus? Shall we use the Linux kernel in a fashionable way to access that raw data? We are aiming at using Ubuntu.

Is actually the UP Core Plus suitable for that?

Thank you

UP core Plus requires 12Vdc?

uscdadnyc — Fri, 03 Apr 2020 20:37:52 +0000

Q1: why 12Vdc? Is this b/c of possible RS-232 connections? I thought RS-232 died in the last millennium (prior to year 2000)? In the last millennium I worked RS-232 Async Communications as well as Synchronous Communications. Q2: in the UP-world what does UART=? I thought (back in the 90's) it meant Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter. A big 40pin I.C. Q3: Is there any relationship between UP and AAEON? Q4) I have on order an UP Core Unit. Is it being Shipped from an EU Country? My UP Board was shipped from the Netherlands (back in 2017). Q4: Is there a Glossary (of Acronyms) used by UP? This would be most helpful. I wouldn't have to bother DCleri So Much.

Several questions about UP Core Plus

Palmtopfan — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 10:49:16 +0000

As a possible UP Core Plus hobbyist user I would like to clarify some data about this board, as I could not find this information anywhere on UP websites.
Q1: Discussions mention that a certain "eDP display kit" is necessary for connection of display to the CN13 (DSI/eDP, 41pin) connector. As I could not find this kit in UP shop and as the official touch screen is too big, I would like to ask if there is any way to connect generic eDP (not necessarily eDP, any generic screen would do), to the to the board using CN13?
(I am also aware of Ipad screen HACK, but not only that I do not have bricked Ipad, but the screen is 9.7 inch, that is too big as well)
Q2: Is there any (preferably working ) way to connect touch screen?
Q3: Is there any conversion cable for 100pin GPIO port, so I could connect anything else than carrier board?
Q4: Is it possible to connect HDD/SSD without carrier board (Net plus)?
Q5: I would like to ask about experiences with passive cooling of the board. Is a massive cooler really needed or could a flat metal sheet be enough (about 8 inch in diagonal)?

Thanks for any answers.

PS: To clarify my intent of use, I plan to build mini laptop similar to THIS, but similar in size to Psion Series 5.

Display Connection

ErikHG10 — Wed, 01 Apr 2020 00:23:03 +0000

Good Day,

I would like to ask, is it possible to connect this display to the UP Core Plus motherboard (Standalone)?

http://www.panelook.com/AMS495QA04_Samsung_5_OLED_overview_20210.html

Interface Type is: MIPI (2 data lanes), 40 pins Connector

Or can I use some small adapter for this? For those who ask why. I'm planning to "upgrade" PS Vita with a new motherboard. But I have to use a different display since display from Vita isn't compatible. Controls wouldn't be that hard to connect, the sound would be additional but it wouldn't be also that hard.

Thanks for the help!

[Solved] PCIe enumeration

svilen — Mon, 09 Mar 2020 09:05:25 +0000

We have a prototype seires of 10 pieces, based on UP Core Plus board. On our custom board, to PCIe bus 0 and bus 2 are connected LAN7430 and LAN7431 Ethernet adapters. In 3 of the prototypes we found that the PCIe bus 0 device is not always enumerated at first run, but always found after soft reboot. I guess some timing parameters are not meet, but don't know what is defined in UP Core Plus BIOS. Is it possible to know what timing must be meet? Is it any configurable parameter than can add a delay or tweak the enumeration process? We try to re-scan the bus from Linux, but seems that when nothing is found by BIOS the bus is disabled or reported that not support re-scan (hot plug) and haven't success.

Up core plus Wifi antenna connector

Earsistemas — Sat, 27 Apr 2019 16:28:21 +0000

Please, I need the reference for the wifi antenna connector in Core Plus. I thought it was the same than in Up Core, but it isn´t.
Thanks

RE: Input Voltage Tolerances - What are the min and max voltages for this device?

Jason Schreiber — Sat, 09 Mar 2019 05:20:40 +0000

Hi, I know this is a 12V device, but what are the maximum and minimum voltages the device will operate with.

Could I use a 4S lithium polymer battery (min 12V max 16.8V) to drive the UP CORE PLUS directly?

Thanks

Converter DP-HDMI

DaveDave — Tue, 05 Nov 2019 12:13:10 +0000

Hi,
recently we have bought an UP Core Plus, we'd need to use converter DP to HDMI, but all our converter not work.
It would appear that many users have the same problem.

Could you suggest us which one to use(producer, model..) or how resolve this issue?

Looking forward your response,
Best regards.

DigitalPort video out

Earsistemas — Mon, 06 May 2019 10:19:21 +0000

Hi,
Using the UP CORE PLUS video DP connector, it runs ok using a DP-DP cable, driving a pc DP video input monitor. But using a DP-HDMI active conversor cable, it doesn´t work. The cable is ok because it works from a DP video out PC to a HDMI video input monitor. Trying with another DP-HDMI video canversor cable (different manufacturer), and the same, it works ok betweeen pc and monitor but not between CORE PLUS DP video out and HDMI monitor.
Any help will be wellcome.
Thanks

Only 1 NIC on Net+ using Ubuntu

GSalzmann — Fri, 19 Jul 2019 21:03:57 +0000

I'm using Linux version 4.15.0-50-generic from my generic Linux-Test-USB-Stick and it only finds 1 NIC.

I'm using an up core plus and the net plus add-on.
I'm also unable to boot from that USB-stick with out
a) enter BIOS in admin mode
b) launch EFI shell from file system
c) launch refind
d) load kernel directly

Any ideas why I only get 1 NIC?

Can I power via the header?

m_kramar — Sat, 10 Aug 2019 11:33:21 +0000

Hi guys,

I have Up Core Plus and Vision Plus X.
I'm developing custom hat board.
I will have a configuration where 3 of them are connected to each other.

My custom board will have 12V power supply.
I'd prefer to power both Up Core Plus and Vision Plus X via the 100-pin header rather than power jack.
My question is is it safe to do so?

Thanks,
Miks.

PS
Also, can you please point to the specs page for Vision Plus X.
The main page for the device only has BUY button.
I can only see one photo of the device.
I cannot even tell if it has headers on the other side or if it has a heatsink.

How to communicate with Myriad X on Up Vision Plus X?

SashaBe — Thu, 11 Jul 2019 06:43:57 +0000

For hardware developers: which interface is used to communicate with Myriad X devices on carrier/expansion board Up Vision Plus X? Is this USB or PCIe or some kind of a converter from one to another?

100-pin expansion header placement

joseN — Wed, 26 Jun 2019 21:47:15 +0000

Hi UP team.

Is there a document that specifies the location of both 100-pin headers in order to place the sockets in our carrier board?

-Jose

Can the UP Core Plus act as both a USB Host and Client?

BenVeghte — Thu, 13 Jun 2019 00:56:17 +0000

Long story short, I am using a sophisticated sensor that needs a fairly powerful system to do some image manipulations and then I would like to then use the results to perform different keyboard actions. Is it possible to have the sensor connected to the port circled in red and then connect it to my computer using the OTG port circled in blue to send the keyboard data?

If that would work what would be the best method of going about that?

Total achievable USB 3.0 bandwidth on Intel Up Core Plus

khengling — Sat, 06 Oct 2018 03:38:38 +0000

I would like to use two USB 3.0 devices simultaneously. Each device requires full 5Gbps bandwidth in order to function optimally.

Can the Intel Up Core Plus with its two on-board USB 3.0 ports be able to sustain a total of 10Gbps bandwidth? If not, what is the limit?

Thanks.

Power Up Core Plus from 100-pin headers

joseN — Thu, 25 Apr 2019 21:51:26 +0000

I am designing a custom carrier board for the UP Core plus board, I will be using both 100-pin headers.
I can see two power ports there, 12V and 5V.
Can I power the UP Core Plus from the headers instead of the barrel jack?
What is 12V used for? Can I only use 5V?

WiFi monitor mode?

peterh — Tue, 26 Mar 2019 15:45:56 +0000

Testing a new Up Core, I have gotten all the drivers setup and can use Wifi - however, I noticed the WiFi 802.11 AC 2T2R does not appear to have a monitor interface. Are there any plans to add this, or are there any third party firmwares which have it? Thank you.

wifi driver?

cedric — Thu, 01 Nov 2018 01:45:54 +0000

hello

I installed ubuntu 16.04.05 on a up core plus
I noticed the wifi was not loading so I tried to get the sdio.txt from nvram with
sudo cp /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/nvram-74b00bd9-805a-4d61-b51f-43268123d113 /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt
there's a wifi interface loading, and it's listing wifi network but impossible to join them

I also tried ubuntu 18.04. my goal is to get movidius
and real sense working, plus a few other things.

what's the right method to get the wifi working?

note: I tried to post in "up core plus / linux" but the category menu does not allow me to do that.

thanks
