Chapter 1 <Introduction>
1.1 <Product Overview>
LE-366 is the Mini-ITX motherboard with AMD Geode LX800 platform, with onboard VGA,
AC97 audio, GIGA LAN interface. Based on the AMD Geode LX800 processor, the board
provides many advanced features for reduced power consumption, fan-less design and
high cost/price rate of production.
Low Power Consumption
Based on the AMD Geode LX800@500MHz processor onboard, it only takes up to 3.8W at
maximum powering, and is completely suitable for fan-less design. Without any cooling fan
onboard, it can avoid the heat problem when the cooler failed in accidence.
Onboard TFT/LVDS LCD interface
Based on the AMD Geode LX800@500Mhz of integrated graphics and 18-bit LVDS
interfaces.
Embedded Component
Due to the low profile design, the board provides CF card socket for flash disk with porting
embedded OS and up to DDR SDRAM.
Single Voltage Input
The board only requires DC 12V input. User’s can easily connect the board with an adapter
without the huge power supply.

LE-366 User’s Manual
To setup the LCD, you need the component below:
1. A panel with LVDS interfaces.
2. An inverter for panel’s backlight power.
3. A LCD cable and an inverter cable.
For the cables, please follow the pin assignment of the connector to make a cable, because
every panel has its own pin assignment, so we do not provide a standard cable; please find a
local cable manufacture to make cables.
LCD Installation Guide:
1. Preparing the LE-366, LCD panel and the backlight inverter.
2. Please check the datasheet of the panel to see the voltage of the panel, and set the
jumper JP1 to +5V or +3.3V.
3. You would need a LVDS type cable.

Chapter 3 <BIOS Setup>
The motherboard uses the Award BIOS for the system configuration. The Award BIOS in
the single board computer is a customized version of the industrial standard BIOS for IBM
PC AT-compatible computers. It supports Intel x86 and compatible CPU architecture based
processors and computers. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for the system
central processing, memory and I/O sub-systems.
The BIOS setup program of the single board computer let the customers modify the basic
configuration setting. The settings are stored in a dedicated battery-backed memory,
NVRAM, retains the information when the power is turned off. If the battery runs out of the
power, then the settings of BIOS will come back to the default setting.
The BIOS section of the manual is subject to change without notice and is provided here for
reference purpose only. The settings and configurations of the BIOS are current at the time
of print, and therefore they may not be exactly the same as that displayed on your screen.
To activate CMOS Setup program, press ＜DEL＞ key immediately after you turn on the
system. The following message “Press DEL to enter SETUP” should appear in the lower left
hand corner of your screen. When you enter the CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will be
displayed as Figure 4-1. You can use arrow keys to select your function, press ＜Enter＞
key to accept the selection and enter the sub-menu.

Appendix D <Programming GPIO’s>
The GPIO can be programmed with the MSDOS debug program using simple
IN/OUT commands. The following lines show an example how to do this.
GPIO0...GPIO7 bit0……bit7
-o 4E 87
-o 4E 87
-o 4E 2A
-o 4F FD
-o 4E 07
-o 4F 07
-o 4E F0
-o 4F xx
-o 4E F1
-o 4F xx
;enter configuration
;enable GPIO function
;enable GPIO configuration
;set GPIO as input/output; set ‘1’ for input,’0’for output
;if set GPIO’s as output, in this register its value can be set
Optional :
-o 4E F2
-o 4F xx
; Data inversion register ; ‘1’ inverts the current value of the
bits ,’0’ leaves them as they are
-o 4E 30
-o 4F 01
; active GPIO’s
