The CP6005(X)-SA provides flash interfaces for the uEFI BIOS and the SATA Flash module.

The CP6005(X)-SA provides two 8 MB SPI boot flashes for two separate uEFI BIOS images, a standard

SPI boot flash and a recovery SPI boot flash. The fail-over mechanism for the uEFI BIOS recovery can

be controlled via the DIP switch SW1, switch 2. The SPI boot flash includes a hardware write protection

option, which can be configured via the uEFI BIOS. If write protection is enabled, the SPI boot flash

cannot be written to.

Note:

The uEFI BIOS code and settings are stored in the SPI boot flashes. Changes made to the

uEFI BIOS settings are available only in the currently selected SPI boot flash. Thus, switch-

ing over to the other SPI boot flash may result in operation with different uEFI BIOS code

and settings.

The CP6005(X)-SA supports up to 64 GB flash memory in combination with an optional SATA Flash mod-

ule. The SATA Flash module cannot be used in conjunction with the MMADP-SATA01 Module.

The CP6005(X)-SA supports the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2. TPM1.2 is a security chip specifi-

cally designed to provide enhanced hardware- and software-based data and system security. TPM1.2 is

based on the Atmel AT97SC3204 security controller and stores sensitive data such as encryption and

signature keys, certificates and passwords, and is able to withstand software attacks to protect the

stored information.
