Introduction

Helios™ is a programmable edge controller that provides a flexible application-ready

hardware platform with enhanced wireless capabilities. It is based on the Catalyst

Module which integrates with a base board and supporting peripheral devices. All

electronics are housed in an enclosure. Three USB host ports for wireless devices and

additional storage are accessible in the USB Bay located under the removable cover.

With the Helios platform, you can quickly and easily create an edge controller device,

loaded with your application software that precisely meets your requirements. Several

options are available allowing you to choose the hardware based on your specifications.

Using pre-certified wireless modules in the USB Bay, the Helios platform can be easily

customized for any network. Software support includes Eurotech’s Everyware™

Software Framework (ESF) offering simple to use APIs.

Block Diagram

The following diagram illustrates the system organization of the Helios platform. Notice

that the data connector on the Catalyst Module has been divided into two sections for this

illustration. Dotted lines indicate configuration options.For information about these

options, see Configurations, page 17.

Handling Your System Safely

Anti-Static Handling

The Helios platform is designed to meet the Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) criteria

contained in IEC 61000-4-2 (EMC – Part 4-2: Testing and Measurement Techniques –

Electrostatic Discharge Immunity Test). The electronics included in the enclosure contain

CMOS devices that could be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Observe

industry-standard electronic handling procedures when handling these electronics.

Where possible, work on a grounded anti-static mat. At a minimum, touch an electrically

grounded object before handling any electronics.

Packaging

Please ensure that, should a system need to be returned to Eurotech, it is adequately

packed, preferably in the original packing material.

Electromagnetic Compatibility

The Helios platform is defined as an unintentional radiator of electromagnetic energy.

For additional information about the EMI/EMC specification, see EMI/EMC, page 23.

Software Support

Eurotech provides an application-ready platform including BIOS, operating system, and

development environment.This section gives a brief description of the software support

available for the Helios platform. For additional details, contact your local Eurotech

technical support.

Operating System

The Helios platform is available with the following operating systems:

•Wind River Linux 3.0

•Windows® Embedded Standard

•Windows CE 6.0

BIOS

The Helios platform incorporates a custom system BIOS developed by Eurotech.

Everyware™ Software Framework

Everyware Software Framework (ESF) is an inclusive software framework that puts a

middleware layer between the operating system and the OEM application. It provides

industry-standard interfaces that shorten development time, simplify coding, and allow

software to be ported from one Eurotech hardware platform to another. ESF is available

on the Helios platform.

For information about ESF, refer to the Eurotech website (http://www.eurotech.com).

Getting Started

The Helios platform is configured to acquire its network address automatically using

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This section describes how to determine

this address before you begin development.

Components

To get started, you will need the following components:

•Helios platform

•Power supply (12 VDC adapter and regional AC power cord)

•Null modem cable (DB9FF)

•Ethernet cable

•Computer with EIA-232 serial port, terminal emulation program, network connection,

and SSH client program

•DHCP server

Connectivity

To determine the network address, complete the following steps:

1. Connect any available serial port of the computer to the EIA-232 serial port using

the null modem cable.

2. Open a terminal emulation program on the computer with the following port

settings:

Baud rate: 9600

Data bits: 8

Parity: none

Stop bits: 1
