III. Software synopsis

1. Software structure

Picture 3.1

There are three logistic levels in IM300/IM500/IM700 software structure, which

are as follows:
 Boot: Verify the validity of OS and firing it according to the parameter in CFG
file, which controls the debug level also.
 Prolin OS: Based on Linux kernel, including Kernel, Rootfs and Basefs,
provides the control of operating like PCI security protection, drivers and
OSAL lib etc.
 Application: Main and common ones according to its administration
authority. Main application would take control of common ones while
common ones are designed to realize actual function & requirement.

3.4 MDB
MDB is one kind of protocol for communicating with VMC, the circuit is
similar to serial port but electrical level isn’t consistent, interfaces should be
standard. Considering that BCM58303 serial port is not enough and can’t
support 9 bit serial port either, however, MDB protocol needs 9 bits serial
port. So STM32 method is adopted to communicate with MDB, SPI2
communication port is used between STM32 and BCM58303.

3. Chips introduction
3.1 Primary system
The primary system of the IM500 is comprised of the MCU, NAND Flash
memory, and the DDR memory. The selected MCU is the i.MX6UL, an ARM
Cortex-A7 chip, with model number MCIMX6G3CVM05AB, with a standard
operating frequency of 528MHz. The memory unit is comprised of 256MB of
DDR (either model number K4B2G1646F-BYMA or P2M2GF4ALF-GJS) as well as
128MB of NAND Flash (model number S34ML01G200BHI000).

3.2 ICC card module

The IM500 uses the NCN8025 to support the IC card module and i.MX6UL can
support up to 2 smar cards simultaneously, the use of the IC card module
occupies one of these slots. The NCN8025 is linked to the MCU via GPIO to
provide IC card reading functionality. The IC card slot is not directly connected
to the PCB, but is linked to the board via FPC.

3.4 USB
The iMX6UL possesses 2 internal USB OTG connections, supporting high speed
USB mode (480Mbps).According to design requirements, the IM500 only
requires 1 slave port, using an USB type-B port.

Picture 8

3.5 SAM card module

The IM500 supports 2 SAM card slots, both of which requires power from a 5V
source. The i.MX6UL supports up to 2 smart cards, one of which is already
occupied by the IC card module, the remaining slot is used by the SAM card
module. Because the SAM card module requires 5V, the signal level from the
MCU is first changed before being provided to the card slot itself.

Picture 9

41 PAX Technology Limited Company

 IM Series Unattended Payment Solutions

Picture 10
3.6 Power supply system
The i.MX6UL requires external power sources of 5V, 3.3V, and 1.35V, with the
3.3V source starting up before the 1.35V source. The IM500 itself requires an
input of 5V/1A or 12V/500mA to power itself.
The current requirements of each power source are as follows:
DC_IN (12V): external input
VCC (5V): USB input or converted from DC_IN to VCC via the SY8120;
VDD (3.3V): converted from VCC to VDD via a ME3103AM5G;
1.35V: converted from VCC to 1V35 via a ME3103AM5G;

2. PCBA boards
IM700 consists of two boards including main board and antenna board, they are
communicated by 10pin connector.
 Main board: Minimum system, RF module, 5V/3.3V/1.8V/1.35V, USB,
RS232, SAM card.
 Antenna board: RF antenna, LED indicator.

The interfaces on E700 main board are below:

1. SAM2 2. SAM1
3. J3, 8PIN, is connected with RJ45.
4. J2, 4PIN, is connected with USB cable.
5. J1, 10PIN, is connected with RF board.

3.5 SAM card module
IM700 can support 2pcs SAM card and its working volts are 5V.

3.6 Power supply system

IM700 external device need 5v, 3.3v, 1.8v, 1.35v power.
IM700 adopts 5V/1A and 12V/500mA power supply and power supply as below:
DC_IN (12V or 5V): External power supply.
VCC (5V): External power will be converted to 5V by SY8120 chip.
VDD (3.3V): VDD will be converted to 3.3V by ME3103 chip.
1.35V: VCC will be converted to 1.35V by ME3103 chip.
1.8V: VCC will be converted to 1.8V by ME3103 chip.

Reminder: Please note that IM700 blue and yellow LED will flash and make
beep sound if IM700 is tampered, so please log in PPN and do “clear tamper”
authorization.

5. How to test IM700 RF function?

IM700 functional testing needs to download test application to S80 or S58 via
PCloader and download testing application to IM700. After that connect IM700
and S80 via RS232 cable.

Step one: Download SERVER_20170515_V1.3_SIG.bin file to S80 terminal

Step two: Download M_NO_UI_FTEST_20170515_V3.07t2_SIG.aip to IM700.
Step three: Connect IM700 and S80 like below picture:
