Note:
The BSP delivered with the phyCORE-

usually includes drivers and/or
software for
controlling all components such as interfaces, memory, etc. Therefore, programming close to
hardware at register level is not necessary in most cases. For this reason, this manual contains no
detailed description of the controller's registers, or
information relevant for software development.

Declaration of Electro Magnetic Conformity of the ruggbedBoard [To Be Decided]
phyCORE-A5D2x: RuggedBOARD System on Module (henceforth products) are designed for
installation in electrical appliances or as dedicated Evaluation Boards (i.e.: for use as a test
and prototype platform for hardware/software development) in laboratory environments.
RuggedBOARD products fulfill the norms of the European Union’s Directive for Electro
Magnetic Conformity only in accordance to the descriptions and rules of usage indicated in
this hardware manual (particularly in respect to the pin header row connectors, power
connector and serial interface to a host-PC).
Products EMI/EMC standards test Specifications and qualified for CE
- IEC/EN 61000-4-6 (RE conducted susceptibility test) : 1G to 3G
- IEC/EN 61000-4-2 (Electro Static Discharge immunity test)
- IEC/EN 61000-4--5 (Surge immunity test)
- IEC /EN** Vibration Test (Shockproof with Multiple drops from 5' (1.5 m) (TBD)
Caution!
RuggedBOARD products lacking protective enclosures are subject to damage by ESD and, hence, may
only be unpacked, handled or operated in environments in which sufficient precautionary measures have
been taken in respect to ESD-dangers. It is also necessary that only appropriately trained personnel (such
as electricians, technicians and engineers) handle and/or operate these products.
Note:
Implementation of RuggedBOARD into target devices, as well as user modifications and extensions of
RuggedBOARD products, is subject to renewed establishment of conformity to, and certification of,
Electro Magnetic Directives. Users should ensure conformance following any modifications to the
products as well as implementation of the products into target systems.

ESD Warning:
Electronic components and circuits are sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). When
handling any circuit board assemblies including Pico Computer carrier assemblies, it is
recommended that ESD safety precautions be observed. ESD safe best practices include, but
are not limited to:
Leaving circuit boards in their antistatic packaging until they are ready to be
installed.
Using a grounded wrist strap when handling circuit boards, at a minimum you
should touch a grounded metal object to dissipate any static charge that may be
present on you.
Only handling circuit boards in ESD safe areas, which may include ESD floor and table
mats, wrist strap stations and ESD safe lab coats.
Avoiding handling circuit boards in carpeted areas.
Try to handle the board by the edges, avoiding contact with components
Power Supply Warning:
Hardware Power Supply Limitation: Powering the board with voltages higher than 3.3V ± 5%
may damage the module. We recommend Supply voltage to SOM module from Carrier Board is
3.3V ± 5%.
In addition, for proper operation of the module into the target application also requires
connecting all GND pins common.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Hardware overview
The ruggedBOARD-A5d2x for phyCORE-A5D2x modules is a low-cost, feature-rich software
development platform supporting the microchip Semiconductor phyCORE-A5D2x
microprocessors. Moreover, due to the numerous standard interfaces the ruggedBOARD-
A5D2x can serve as bedrock for your application. At the core of the ruggedBOARD phyCORE-
A5D2x is the phyCORE A5D2x System On Module (SOM), containing the processor, DRAM,
NAND Flash, power regulation, supervision, transceivers, and other core functions required
to support the phyCORE A5d2x processor. Surrounding the SOM is the ruggedBOARD
phyCORE-A5D2x carrier board, adding power input, buttons, connectors, signal breakout, and
Ethernet connectivity amongst other peripherals.
The phyCORE-A5D2x is a connector-less, BGA style System On Module (SOM) in a direct solder
form factor. Unlike traditional Phytec SOM products that support high density connectors,
the phyCORE-A5D2x SOM is directly soldered down to the ruggedBOARD-A5D2x using Half-
Hole Technology. This solution offers an ultra-low cost Single Board Computer for the
phyCORE-A5D2x processor, while maintaining most of the advantages of the SOM concept.
Adding the phyCORE-A5D5x into your own design is as simple as ordering the connectored
version and making use of our rugged Board’s Carrier Board reference schematics.

The Industrial RuggedBOARD provides a standard micro SDHC card slot at J4 for
connection to MMC/SD interface cards. It allows easy and convenient connection to
peripheral devices like SD and MMC cards. Power to the SD interface is supplied by
inserting the appropriate card into the MMC/SD connector which features card
detection, a lock mechanism and a smooth extraction function by Push-in/ Push-out of
card. DIP switch S4 allows to toggle between NAND boot and boot from SD card.

2.2.5 DIN and DOUT(0-24V) (P5 and P6)
Fig. 8 Fig. 9
The Industrial RuggedBOARD comes with an isolated Digital IOs(0-24V). The
ruggedBOARD provides four digital IOs that are designed for processing DC-signals with
up to 24 V DC. The digital output voltage depends on the input voltage of the board.
Input and output signals are routed to the CPU (SAM-A5D2x) through two discrete
optocouplers for galvanic isolation. Thus, it is possible to write and read the status of
every single GPIO of the ruggedBOARD simultaneously.
© Rugged Board - 2019 18
WARNING!
Please consider that the GPIOs do not have a separate current driver on board.
In case the GPIOs are used as outputs, the current is self-limited by the output-
optocoupler and should not exceed 750mA for each GPIO channel. These
outputs are low WARNING! side outputs.

A), EIA-485, is a standard defining the electrical characteristics of drivers and receivers
for use in serial communications systems.... Digital communications networks
implementing the standard can be used effectively over long distances and in electrically
noisy environments.
An RS-485 transceiver on the Industrial ruggedBOARD converts the TTL level signals of
UART1 from the SAMA5D2x to RS-485 level signals. The RS-485 level signals are available
at the connector P9. Figure shows a detailed view of the P9 connector.
Refer Table from section 2.2.8 for pinout details.
2.2.8 CAN (P9)
Fig. 12
The Controller Area Network (CAN) bus offers a low-bandwidth, prioritized message
fieldbus for serial communication between microcontrollers. It efficiently supports
distributed real time control with a high level of security. The DCAN module of the
SAMA5D2x implements the CAN protocol according to the CAN 2.0B protocol
specification and supports bit rates up to 1 Mbit/s. The CAN interface of the Industrial
ruggedBOARD SAMA5D2x is connected to the CAN-controller DCAN1 of the SAMA5D2x

2.2.10 RTC Battery (P11)
Fig. 14
Areal-time clock(RTC) is a (most often in the form of an) that keeps track of the current.
The Industrial ruggedBOARD uses RTC for real-time or time driven applications. Please
note that if the RTC’s interrupt is needed, at expansion connector P11 need to be
shortcut (section 3.1). The Industrial ruggedBOARD is equipped with a Gold Capacitor
(placed next to connector P11) which is also intended to back up the external RTC.

ATWILC3000 is a single chip IEEE 802.11 b/g/n RF/Baseband/MAC link controller and
Bluetooth 5. The ATWILC1000 connects to Microchip AVR/SMART MCUs, SMART MPUs,
and other processors with minimal resource requirements with simple SPI/SDIO-to-Wi-
Fi and UART-toBluetooth interfaces.
The ATWILC3000 supports single stream 1x1 802.11n mode providing tested
throughput of up to 46 Mbps UDP & 28 Mbps TCP/IP. The ATWILC3000 features fully
integrated Power Amplifier, LNA, Switch and Power Management. Implemented in low-
power CMOS technology, the ATWILC3000 offers very low power consumption while
simultaneously providing high performance and minimal bill of materials.
The ATWILC3000 utilizes highly optimized 802.11-Bluetooth coexistence protocols. The
only external clock sources needed for the ATWILC3000 is a high-speed crystal or
oscillator and a 32.768 kHz clock for sleep operation. IEEE 802.11 b/g/n 20MHz (1x1)
