The [[Hardware#XO-1.75_Laptop|XO-1.75 laptop]] is a refresh of the [[Hardware#XO-1_Laptop|XO-1]] and [[Hardware#XO-1.5_Laptop|XO-1.5]] laptops, using an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture ARM processor].  In order to maintain a low price point, OLPC is again refreshing its hardware to take advantage of new components.  This design uses the same ultra-low-power design as the [[XO-3]] tablet, within the industrial design and batteries of the [[Hardware#XO-1_Laptop|XO-1]].  Power consumption and purchase cost are both lower than the XO-1.5

XO-1.75 machines ship with a [[Releases|new software release]] based on Fedora 18, including both [http://sugarlabs.org Sugar] and [http://gnome.org GNOME] software.

== Identification ==
[[Image:XO-1.75_siblings.jpg|400px|center]]

The XO-1.75 laptops are identified by a set of seven dots on both sides of the hinge cover as can be seen on the image.

See [[Laptop Batteries]] or more information.

===BIOS/loader===
On XO-1.75, there are two different firmwares installed:
* A small bootloader written in Forth and interpreted by CForth runs on the security processor
* [[Open Firmware]] runs on the main (PJ4) processor

The bootloader run by the CForth interpreter on the security processor is responsible for initializing the [[Media:XO_1.75_GPIOs_B1.pdf|SoC pins]] and the main memory.  It then loads Open Firmware into main memory and starts it executing on the main processor.   This CForth bootloader then continues to execute on the security processor, processing input from the keyboard and touchpad.

[[Open Firmware|Open Firmware (OFW)]] initializes the system peripherals, then loads the OS kernel into memory and starts executing it.   OFW also includes hardware diagnostics.

* A dedicated 1 MiB SPI-interface flash ROM contains both CForth (first 128KB) and OFW;
* Hardware support is provided to prevent reprogramming of the OFW flash ROM by malicious software;

===Environmental specifications===
* Temperature: 0 to 50 degrees Celsius (operating); -20 to 60 degrees Celsius (non-operating)
* Humidity: UL certification planned to [[IP_Code|IP42]] when closed, the unit should seal well enough that children walking to and from school need not fear rainstorms and dust;  
* Maximum altitude: –15m to 3048m (14.7 to 10.1 PSIA) (operating), –15m to 12192m (14.7 to 4.4 PSIA) (non-operating);
* Shock 125g, 2ms, half-sine (operating) 200g, 2ms, half-sine (non-operating);
* Random vibration: 0.75g zero-to-peak, 10Hz to 500Hz, 0.25 oct/min sweep rate (operating); 1.5g zero-to-peak, 10Hz to 500Hz, 0.5 oct/min sweep rate (nonoperating);
* 2-3mm plastic walls (1.3mm is typical for most systems).

===Certifications===
* Detailed at [[XO_1.75_Certifications|XO-1.75 Certifications]]
* The laptop meets IEC 60950-1, EN 60950-1, and CSA/UL 60950-1 (safety) specifications. It also complies with UL 1310 and UL 498.  In order to guarantee the safety of children using the laptop, it passes ASTM F 963 (Standard Consumer Safety Specification on Toy Safety, 2003 edition);
* The external power adapter complies with IEC, EN, and CSA/UL 60950-1;
* The removable battery pack complies with IEC, EN, and CSA/UL 60950-1 and UL 2054;

== Block Diagram ==
[[Image:XO_1.75_Block_Diagram.png|600px]]

== Software ==

There are three distinct pieces of software on the XO-1.75:
* Operating System and user interface, (see [[#Upgrading_Linux]] below),
* [[Open_Firmware|Open Firmware (OFW)]], (see [[#Upgrading_OFW]] below),
* [[Embedded_controller|Embedded controller (EC)]] firmware, (see [[#Upgrading_OFW]] below).

Open Firmware automatically upgrades the EC firmware at boot time, if the installed version is older than the version included in Open Firmware.   The laptop must have both a charged battery and external power supplied at boot time for this to happen.

As usual, the operating system image automatically upgrades Open Firmware if necessary.

===Upgrading OFW===

XO-1.75 laptops use Q4Dxx firmware releases.  These will not work on an XO-1 or XO-1.5.  The current firmware release for XO-1.75 can be found at [[Firmware#XO-1.75]].

To upgrade the version of [[Open Firmware]], place a recent release of the Q4XYY firmware onto an SD device, and place it in the external SD slot, or on a USB drive.

Interrupt the [[Open_Firmware|Open Firmware (OFW)]] boot process by pressing the ESC key.

Type:
  flash ext:\q4cNN.rom

Or for a USB drive:
  flash u:\q4cNN.rom

The laptop will automatically reboot.

If you need to do this to a bare motherboard, you can use the flash! command which skips the tests for two sources of power.

If the version of OFW installed on the laptop isn't working, you might be able to upgrade it [[SPI_FLASH_Recovery_for_XO-1.75_Using_CForth|using CForth]] or [[SPI_FLASH_Recovery_for_XO-1.75_Using_JTAG|using JTAG]].

===Upgrading EC===

This is now done automatically by Open Firmware.

However, if you need to do it manually ... download the latest EC code from: [http://dev.laptop.org/pub/ec/ http://dev.laptop.org/pub/ec/].  It should be prefixed by "cl2" (e.g. cl2-4.0.2.02.img).   Place this file on a USB drive or SD card, and insert it into the laptop being reprogrammed.

From Open Firmware, type:
  flash-ec u:\your_filename.img

If you need to do this to a bare motherboard, you can use the flash-ec! command which skips the tests for two sources of power.

===Upgrading Linux===

Linux images for the XO-1.75:
* are available at http://build.laptop.org/11.3.1/ ... select the highest number and then xo-1.75, the first being os10,
* are available at http://download.laptop.org/11.3.0 ... as build os883/[[Release_notes/11.3.0|Release 11.3.0]], without suspend and resume.
* were previously available at http://build.laptop.org/11.3.0/ ... the first being os4, the last being os8,
* were previously available at [http://build.laptop.org/F14-arm/ http://build.laptop.org/F14-arm/], the last being os42,

====Installing from Open Firmware using USB====
You will need the .zd version of the OS image.  Download it, then:
# Place the image on a USB stick, and insert it into any of the XO-1.75 laptop's USB ports.
# Get the [[Ok]] prompt,
# Install onto the internal SD card, by typing:
 fs-update u:\os19.zd

====Installing from Open Firmware using SD card====
You will need the .zd version of the OS image.  Download it, then:
# Place the image on an SD card, and insert it into the XO-1.75 laptop's external SD slot.
# Get the [[Ok]] prompt,
# Install onto the internal SD card, by typing:
 fs-update ext:\os19.zd

====Installing from Linux using an XO-1.5====
To install on an XO-1.5, boot an XO-1.5 to Linux, insert the SD card in the XO-1.5 external slot, then:
 zcat os19.img.gz > /dev/mmcblk1
... and then power down, remove the SD card, and insert it in the XO-1.75.

====Installing from Open Firmware using an XO-1.5====
You will need the .zd version of the OS image.  Download it, then:
# Place the image on a USB stick, and insert it into the XO-1.5 laptop's USB port.
# Get the [[Ok]] prompt,
# To install onto the internal SD card, type:
 fs-update u:\os41.zd

To install an image onto the external SD card, you need to type:
 
 devalias fsdisk ext:0
 fs-update u:\os41.zd

... and then power down, remove the SD card, and insert it in the XO-1.75.

==Serial Adapter==
[[Image:Serial 3rd gen.jpg|thumb|Third generation serial adapter.]]

For firmware, operating system and kernel debugging a [[Serial_adapters|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.

[[Image:1.75_serial_connector.png|thumbnail|Location of serial port]]

To use the serial port, [[Disassembly_top|disassemble the laptop (instructions)]] and connect the serial adapter to the motherboard using the at the point shown.  The heat spreader does not have to be removed.
