Hi doea anyone know if there is a datasheet with all of the specs and information of the Udoo x86 board? I want to plan a head a little bit and a datasheet with all the dimensions and everything would really help. Skickat från min D6603 via Tapatalk
Currently there's no schematic PDF, although for dimensions you can download the 3D model - http://udoo.org/download/files/mechanical_specs/udoo_x86_3d_model_reva.zip (link originally posted in a KS update). It's very handy, and is what I'm using to make sure everything will fit inside an enclosure I'm designing.
@jonthe838 I don't think we'll see a datasheet until the product is near completion. If you are interested, I created a document consolidating everything published to-date. You can download a copy here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/oy4cghlhhvctolm/UDOO-X86 Kickstarter.pdf?dl=0 The beginning of the document is just the KS information, but the latter pages include some board specs, resource links, and component datasheet information.
@Triodefreak, I use Sketchup, and to initially import the file, I used a plugin for importing Step files (had a free demo trial period, which has expired for me, so I cannot import Step files anymore ). Also, Sketchup is geared more towards architecture than highly technical component designs, so it ran rather slow on my PC until I stripped out most of the model. I only required the I/O locations. I think Blender (free open source) should be able to import the file - https://www.blender.org/ @FirstGenGeek Interested in reading your PDF file though unable to access, as the link will only work for you (not a public share link).
@Laura - It should be accessible by anyone with a Dropbox account. Please try this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/oy4cghlhhvctolm/UDOO-X86 Kickstarter.pdf?dl=0 which may let you access it without a Dropbox account. The file is too large to attach as a forum entry.
Gosh, you did a great work, @FirstGenGeek. It's a pleasure to know that UDOO X86 is raising so much interest. As soon as possible I'll share the datasheet!
Awesome thanks! Edit: not exactly what I had in mind but thanks anyway! Skickat från min D6603 via Tapatalk
Sorry for double posting but, what I wanted to know, hence why I asked for a complete datasheet, is what how much power can the board handle? I know that the power adapter will supply 12V/3A which i guess is how much the board will draw at the most, but how much +/- can it handle? But how high voltage? +-0.5 of the 12v or is it strictly 12v? And how much current? I want to hook it up to a battery pack and since it will almost never be exactly 12v, depending on the charge, I would like to know what span I have to work with Skickat från min D6603 via Tapatalk
@jonthe838 I'm hoping there'll be a way of providing power internally, though something like an ATX +12V P4 connector, or even via one of the GPIO header pins, allowing the addition of a custom shield for battery power regulation. With the enclosure I'm designing, I have allowed space for LiFePO4 batteries.
@Laura - The prototype X86 board only shows a standard 5.5x2.5mm barrel connector for the 12v input power. If for some reason you want to replace the 12v 3a wall plug AC/DC converter provided by UDOO with a regulated power supply this is an example of what can be used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0178XPH54/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I don't think it's a good idea to ever use an unregulated battery source with bare PCB electronics.
This was my plan as well. I've started ordering the parts for a project of mine and my plan was, if we can make the udoo x86 battery powered, to use the x86 on the go sort of like a miniature pc / tablet like device Skickat från min D6603 via Tapatalk
I think the regulated 12v 3a battery power packs we discussed on another thread, with a standard 5.5x2.5mm barrel plug, is the best solution.
Yes so did I and after doing to research I pulled out my old text book from high school about physics and electrical engineering and realized that a 12v battery pack, almost never, delivers exactly 12v since it depends on how much it's charged. And I can't see anywhere that the packs we discussed nor any other packs are regulated.. They have overvoltage protection which means that they stop spikes of higher voltage from entering the device but I can't find anywhere that they are regulated. I've yet to find a regulated 12v power pack, that could deliver a constant 12v no matter the battery level, but if I could and/or depending on what the udoo x86 can handle in terms of voltage, then I would agree with you. That's why I want to know what span of voltage etc. that the udoo x86 can handle without shutting down / being damaged by. So that I know if I can use a powerbank or not.

Near the start of the Kickstarter campaign, I shared various ideas in the comments section. One was about adding an internal power connector like a P4 to the board. Another one was regarding PCIe to the M.2, which they're doing, so fingers crossed they saw and liked the other idea too I'm going to regulate the battery power source, and hopefully also communicate battery status using the USB HID class for UPS battery power. I will post the circuit schematics in the UDOO forum before hooking it all up, just to double check I'm not going to blow anything up
The battery pack I linked to in the other thread has configurable 9v/12v/16v/20v outputs, which by definition means it is regulated. I do agree, however, we will need to know at what level below 12v the X86 board will just shut down. Since the Intel X86 CPUs use binary "is +12v" and "is not +12v" logic gate states, I don't think the UDOO X86 will have much tolerance with input voltage.
