SC24 – AMD G-Series SBC for Multi-Display Control
SC24 – AMD G-Series SBC for Multi-Display Control
The SC24 is a maintenance-free single-board computer designed to serve as the
heart of MEN's box and display computer systems for use in commercial vehicles,
mobile machines, railway applications, avionics and industrial automation.
It is powered by an AMD Embedded G-Series APU (Accelerated Processing Unit),
the T52R, running at 1.5 GHz. The G-Series combines low-power CPUs and
advanced GPUs, in this case an AMD Radeon™ HD 6310, into a single embedded
device. The use of the Embedded G-Series makes for high scalability in CPU
(single/dual core) and graphics performance (various Radeon™ GPUs or none at
all).
The system is equipped with 1 GB of DDR3 SDRAM and offers SD card and
mSATA slots. It is designed for fanless operation at temperatures from -40 to
+85°C. For this it relies on conduction cooling, as realized in the BC1 Box PC, for
example, where the entire housing serves as a heat sink for the internal electronics.
It supports up to two pairs of DisplayPort® interfaces (two independent images,
each sent to one or two display panels) with a maximum resolution of 2560x1600
each. Two of the DisplayPort® interfaces offer individual AUX channels and hot
plug detection while two others are duplicates of the former two with USB channels
instead. As an option, the AUX channel of the first two DisplayPort® interfaces can
be used for USB signals as well, e.g., to realize touch functionality. Other I/O
includes up to 9 USB 2.0, 2 Gigabit Ethernet channels, 3 PCI Express®, up to 5
serial interfaces (4 UARTs also configurable as IBIS or GPS and 1 CAN), HD
audio, 1 SATA and various GPIO, e.g., for status LEDs.
The SC24 is not meant to be used as a stand-alone board, as all I/O is collected on
two pairs of AirMax VS® connectors - one for all graphics interfaces and one for all
remaining I/O, allowing for flexible configuration on separate boards. By using the
necessary interface boards like an AE51 or similar customer-specific solutions, the
signals can be made available on standard connectors and various types of widerange PSUs can be added. An I/O board can also offer the option of additional mass
storage via the SC24's SATA interface and connections to other periphery, e.g., PCI
Express® Mini cards via the PCIe® interface. Used in combination with the AE51
interface board and its integrated PSU, the unit is compliant with EN 50155 and
prepared for e1 certification.
The combination of the various CPU/GPU options with easily customized interface
boards makes for an extremely flexible system design that can quickly be tailored to
a vast number of applications.

Installing Operating System and Driver Software
The SC24 supports Windows 7, Windows Embedded Standard 7, Windows XP
Embedded (on request) and Linux. By default, no operating system is installed.
For a detailed description on how to install operating system and driver software
please refer to the respective documentation.
You can find any software available on MEN’s website.
1.4
Booting from the 4GB SD Card with a Windows
Embedded Standard 7 Image Customized for the SC24
MEN offers a 4GB SD card with a pre-installed Windows Embedded Standard 7
image (180-day trial version) customized for the SC24. For ordering details please
consult MEN’s website. The following paragraphs describe the first boot of a
system with this OS image installed on the SD card.
During the first power up of the system, the resealing process of the Windows
Embedded Standard 7 image will be started automatically, including a system
reboot. This will take approximately 5 minutes. No action on behalf of the user is
necessary at this time. The 180-day trial period starts the moment the resealing
process has finished setting up the system.
Please note that the internal clock of the SC24 is used to determine how much of the
trial period remains. It is buffered by a power source on the connected interface
board, e.g., a Gold Cap or a battery.
The following events can cause the trial period to end prematurely:
!
• The BIOS time is modified.
• The Windows time is modified.
• A BIOS update has unforeseen side-effects.
Should any of this happen and render the trial version of Windows Embedded
Standard 7 unusable prematurely, please contact MEN.
A complete log of the standard Windows Embedded Standard 7 image used on the
customized SC24 SD card is available from MEN on request.

Functional Description
4.3.1
!
Thermal Considerations
The SC24 is designed for an operating temperature from -40 to +85°C. This
temperature range can only be achieved with sufficient cooling. In order for the
board to meet the thermal requirements, the surrounding system must provide the
necessary means to dissipate heat.
4.4
Memory and Mass Storage
4.4.1
DRAM System Memory
The standard model of the SC24 is equipped with 1 GB of DDR3-SDRAM. Up to
4 GB are supported.
4.4.2
Boot Flash
The SC24 is equipped with a boot Flash containing its BIOS.
4.4.3
SD Card Slot
The SC24 provides one SD card slot.
Note: MEN offers a 4GB SD card with a pre-installed Windows® Embedded Standard 7 image (180-day trial version) customized for the SC24 (see Chapter
1.4 Booting from the 4GB SD Card with a Windows Embedded Standard 7
Image Customized for the SC24 on page 14). For ordering details please consult MEN’s website.
4.4.3.1
Installing an SD Card
 Power down your system and disconnect the SC24 from power.
 Insert the SD card into the slot with the contacts facing the PCB.
 Make sure that it clicks into place properly.

 To eject the SD card, push it until it springs out, then simply pull it out.
4.4.4
mSATA Slot
The SC24 provides one mSATA slot.
4.4.4.1
Installing an mSATA Drive
 Power down your system and disconnect the SC24 from power.
 Insert the mSATA drive carefully at a 30° angle.
 Make sure that all the contacts are aligned properly and the card is firmly connected to the mSATA connector. Fix the card using two M2.5x6 screws (highlighted in red).

4.5
Graphics
4.5.1
Graphics Processing Unit
The standard model of the SC24 is equipped with an AMD APU (Accelerated
Processing Unit) that also includes an AMD Radeon 6310 as a GPU (Graphics
Processing Unit). For other GPU options please refer to Chapter 4.3 Processor Core
on page 22.
4.5.2
DisplayPort Interfaces
Four DisplayPort interfaces are available via the P3 and P4 board-to-board
connectors. The maximum supported resolution is 2560x1600 at 60 Hz.
!
Only DisplayPort interfaces A and B are fully featured DisplayPort interfaces and
offer AUX channel support and hot plug detection. DisplayPort interfaces C and D
are duplicates of the former two without AUX signals, with USB signals offered as
an alternative. This makes it impossible for the SC24 to exchange device
management and control data with the display panel connected to these duplicate
interfaces, but in turn it enables features like an USB-driven touch interface via the
I/O board’s DisplayPort connectors. The P3 and P4 connectors offer two USB
interfaces each, so USB instead of AUX can be realized for all four DisplayPort
interfaces with a suitable I/O board (the AE51 offers this option).
4.5.3
Other Graphics Interfaces
Many third-party suppliers offer active adapters from DisplayPort to other graphics
interfaces. The maximum resolution depends on the adapter used. Supported
interfaces include:
•
•
•
•
HDMI
Single-link DVI
Dual-link DVI
VGA
Note: Passive adapters are not supported by the SC24!

MEN Mikro Elektronik GmbH
20SC24-00 E2 – 2012-02-15

Functional Description
4.6
USB Interface
The SC24 provides a total of nine USB 2.0 interfaces: Five at the P1 and P2 I/O
board connectors and another two each at the P3 and P4 graphics board connectors.
4.7
Ethernet Interface
Each of the two controllers has its own EEPROM to store the MAC address etc.
!
The unique MAC address is set at the factory and should not be changed. Any
attempt to change this address may create node or bus contention and thereby render
the board inoperable. The naming of the interfaces may differ depending on the
operating system. The MAC addresses on SC24 are:
• ETH1:
• ETH2:
0x 00 C0 3A B1 Cx xx
to
0x 00 C0 3A B1 FF FF
0x 00 C0 3A B2 xx xx
to
0x 00 C0 3A B2 3F FF
where "00 C0 3A" is the MEN vendor code and "B1" and "B2" are the MEN
product codes. The last four digits depend on the interface and the serial number of
the product. The serial number is added to the offset, for example for ETH1:
Serial number 0042 (0x2A): 0x C0 00 + 0x 00 2A = 0x C0 2A.
See Chapter 7.2 Finding out the Product’s Article Number, Revision and Serial
Number on page 30.
4.7.1
Ethernet Status LEDs
The SC24 provides a total of four Ethernet status LEDs, two for each Ethernet
channel. They signal the link and activity status (different LED behavior can be
realized on demand).

Functional Description
4.8
CAN Bus and UART (COM) Interfaces
The SC24 provides five serial interfaces implemented in an FPGA: One CAN bus
and four UARTs. The UART lines can also be used for IBIS or GPS interfaces by
connecting the respective SA-Adapters on an I/O board.
The UART interfaces support the following handshake lines:
• COM0: DTR, RTS#, DSR, CTS#
• COM1..3: RTS#, CTS#
See MEN’s website for a list of SA-Adapters which can be used on the standard
I/O board AE51.
Please contact MEN’s sales team for information about possible configurations
and special board versions.
4.9
Binary I/O
The SC24 offers several binary I/O lines implemented in an FPGA. Typical uses
include watchdog signals, LEDs or control of additional interfaces on an I/O board.
4.10
HD Audio
The SC24 supports a high definition audio interface on the board-to-board
connector P2. However, the AMD A55E controller hub only includes the controller,
i.e., if you want to use audio, an external codec needs to be implemented on I/O
board. The standard I/O board AE51 comes with the Realtek ALC268 audio codec.
4.11
PCI Express
The SC24 provides 3 PCI Express x1 links with a supported data rate of up to 500
MB/s in each direction.
