The XO-1.75 Laptop

The XO-1.75 laptopis a refresh of the XO-1 and XO-1.5 laptops. In our continued effort to maintain a low price point, OLPC is again refreshing the hardware to take advantage of the latest component technologies. This design, while separate from the XO-3 tablet effort, uses the same very low power electrical design. It continues to use the same industrial design and batteries as XO-1. The design goal is to provide an overall update of the system within the same industrial design and external appearance. Overall, the target was to greatly improve the power consumption while reducing the purchase cost.

Gen 1.75 machines will ship with a new software release based on Fedora 13 and including both Sugar and GNOME software.

The definitive XO-1.75 laptop specification will be available soon. CL1B hardware specification ("CL2" is the model identifier in the manufacturing data for the XO-1.75 hardware).

The specs below are not authoritative, please refer to the PDF version of the spec linked above.

Physical dimensions

  • Approximate dimensions: 245mm × 230mm × 30.5mm (see drawing to the right for detailed dimensions)
  • Approximate weight with LiFePO4 battery: 1.45KG (~3.20lbs);
  • Configuration: Convertible laptop with pivoting, reversible display; dirt- and moisture-resistant system enclosure; no fan.

Core electronics

XO-1.75 is designed around the Marvell Armada 610 system on a chip.

  • CPU: Marvell Sheeva ARM (PJ4);
    • CPU clock speed: 800 MHz (super-scalar execution);
    • ARM instruction set compatible (including Thumb-2 and Wireless MMX2);
    • ARMv7 architecture compatible;
    • 32 KB L1 I-cache, 32 KB L1 D-cache, 256KB L2 cache;
  • The 610 includes hardware video encode/decode, a 3D graphics engine, display controller, USB, SDIO, and other system interface and management functions
  • DRAM memory: 512 MB DDR3 dynamic RAM;
  • Mass storage: 4 GiB NAND flash in an eMMC device soldered to the motherboard.
    • An internal full size SD card is provided for repair/replacement (not user-changeable without opening the unit with a screwdriver);

Prototype Motherboard

Display

Main article: Display
  • Liquid-crystal display: 7.5” dual-mode TFT display;
  • Viewing area: 152.4 mm × 114.3 mm;
  • Two "modes" depending on lighting conditions:
(1) Grayscale (B&W) reflective mode: for outdoor use—sunlight-readable; primarily lit from the front by ambient light; high-resolution (200 DPI), 1200(H) × 900(V) grayscale pixels; power consumption 0.1–0.2Watts;
(2) Color, backlight mode: for indoor use; primarily lit from behind by the LED backlight; built in sub-pixel sampling of the displayed color information results in a perceived resolution of approximately 984(H) × 738(V); power consumption 0.2–1.0Watts;
Note: web browser images are currently scaled up so that an image of very roughly [800 × 600] fills up the browser window.

Integrated peripherals

  • Keyboard: 80+ keys, 1.0mm stroke; sealed rubber-membrane key-switch assembly;
  • Gamepad: Two sets of four-direction cursor-control keys;
  • Touchpad: Capacitance touchpad
  • Audio: Internal stereo speakers and amplifier; internal monophonic microphone; jacks for stereo external headphones and microphones.
    • Realtek ALC5631 audio codec (I2S)
  • Camera: integrated color video camera; 640 x 480 resolution at 30 FPS;
    • Independent (and undefeatable by software) display of microphone and camera recording status;
    • The camera and device driver support disabling AGC and automatic color balancing, to enable its use as a photometric sensor for educational applications;
    • Omnivision OV7670
  • Wireless Networking: Integrated 802.11b/g (2.4GHz) interface; dual adjustable, rotating antennas support diversity reception;
    • Marvell 88w8686 WLAN module, with SDIO interface, on removable module;
    • Remains powered while the laptop suspends, waking the laptop if a packet addressed to it arrives.
    • Ad-hoc networking and 802.11s mesh support available
  • Accelerometer: ST LIS33 three axis accelerometer
  • Status indicators:
    • Power, battery, Wi-Fi, one software controlled (intended for onboard flash access), visible with lid open or closed;
    • Microphone In-Use, and Camera In-Use, visible when lid is open.

External connectors

  • DC power: 6mm (1.65mm center pin) connector; 11 to 24 V input usable, –32 to +40V input tolerated; power draw limited to 25 W; - see power connector dimensions at Battery and power.

Connectors

Battery

  • Pack type: 2 cell LiFePO4, approx. 6V series configuration;

Serial Adapter

Third generation serial adapter.

For firmware, operating system and kernel debugging a serial adapter is required. We are using our third generation serial adapter with the XO-1.75, which has 3.3V serial on the target side, and a USB B socket on the host side.
