Open Benchtable Debug Card Available for Order Now
The Open Benchtable Debug Card starts shipping from March 15, 2024, and is available for order from our web shop starting today.
As we announced in a news post about a month ago, the Open Benchtable Debug Card is returning to our web store after two years.
For those who may not be familiar, it is designed to fit all full-size Open Benchtable V1/V1.1 setups and provides a convenient solution to display motherboard debug information sent to port 80 on the LPC bus. This is particularly useful in situations where there’s no on-board display on your motherboard.
Many of our dedicated fans may recall our initial promotion in 2020 and subsequent general availability in 2021. Unfortunately, right around the time we ran out of stock, the electronics shortage hit the world and we were unable to source critical components at a reasonable price.
We tracked the market price of the critical components on a monthly basis ever since and now we’re excited to finally bring it back by popular demand.

Open Benchtable Debug Card Product Information
The Open Benchtable Debug Card is developed by ElmorLabs and designed to fit all full size Open Benchtable. The debug card allows you to display motherboard debug information sent to port 80 on the LPC bus, even if there’s no on-board display on your motherboard.
The debug card uses an Altera/Intel Max V CPLD which decodes the LPC bus and displays the debug codes on a 7-segment display. The prerequisite is that there’s a TPM or LPC debug header on the motherboard. Pinouts of the card, cables and standard motherboard headers can be found over at Elmorlabs.com. For motherboard compatibility list, check the ElmorLabs forum.
This updated version has an improved full surface mount design with JST PH-headers for simple and reliable connection to the debug card. It also has M4 mounting holes (60 x 20 mm) for attaching to a suitable case. The product dimensions are 69.8 x 29.8 mm.
Included accessories:
- 30 cm cables for ASUS/Gigabyte motherboards (2×5 2.00mm LPC/TPM header)
- 30 cm cables for MSI motherboards (2×7 2.0mm JTPM header)
