Functional Description
2.8

Flash Memory

The CP6003-SA provides flash interfaces for redundant uEFI BIOS and the SATA Flash module.
2.8.1

SPI Boot Flash for uEFI BIOS

The CP6003-SA provides two 8 MB SPI boot flashes for redundant uEFI BIOS, 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 IPMI controller or the DIP switch SW1.
If the standard SPI boot flash is corrupted, the IPMI controller automatically enables the
recovery SPI boot flash and boots the system again.
The SPI flash includes a hardware write protection option, which can be configured via the uEFI
BIOS. If write protection is enabled, the SPI flash cannot be written to.
2.8.2

Serial ATA Flash Module (Optional)

The CP6003-SA supports up to 32 GB of NAND flash memory in combination with an optional
Serial ATA Flash module, which is connected to the onboard connector J17.
The Serial ATA Flash module is an SLC-based SATA NAND flash drive with a built-in full hard-
disk emulation and a high data transfer rate (sustained read rate with up to 100 MB/s and sus-
tained write rate with up to 90 MB/s). It is optimized for embedded systems providing high per-
formance, reliability and security.
Note ...
Write protection is available for this module. Contact Kontron for further assis-
tance if write protection is required

Trusted Platform Module 1.2 (On Request)

The CP6003-SA has been designed to support the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2. This
feature is available on request. TPM1.2 is a security chip specifically designed to provide en-
hanced hardware- and software-based data and system security. It stores sensitive data such
as encryption and signature keys, certificates and passwords, and is able to withstand software
attacks to protect the stored information.
Hardware features of the TPM 1.2:
• TCG 1.2 compliant Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
• Security architecture based on the Infineon SLE66CXxxPE security controller family
• EEPROM for TCG firmware enhancements and for user data and keys
• Advanced Crypto Engine (ACE) with RSA support up to 2048-bit key length
• Hardware accelerator for SHA-1 hash algorithm
• True Random Number Generator (TRNG)
• Tick counter with tamper detection
• Protection against Dictionary Attack
• Intel® Trusted Execution Technology Support
• Full personalization with Endorsement Key (EK) and EK certificate
