Storage: 5% to 95% Caution The above operating temperatures must be strictly adhered to at all times. When using a congatec heatspreader, the maximum operating temperature refers to any measurable spot on the heatspreader’s surface. Humidity specifications are for non-condensing conditions.
Nonetheless, all electronics contain semiconductor devices which have operating temperature ranges that should be adhered to. This means that for reliable operation, the thermal design of the conga-IA5 must be carefully considered. For this reason, it is imperative to provide sufficient air flow to each of the components, to ensure the specified operating temperature of the conga-IA5 is maintained.

The conga-IA5 is equipped with a Texas Instruments Tiva™ TM4E1231H6ZRBI microcontroller. This onboard microcontroller plays an important role for most of the congatec BIOS features. It fully isolates some of the embedded features such as system monitoring or the I²C bus from the x86 core architecture, which results in higher embedded feature performance and more reliability, even when the x86 processor is in a low power mode.
It also keeps track of dynamically changing data like runtime meter and boot counter. 6.4.4 GPIOs The conga-IA5 SBC provides eight General Purpose Inputs via the congatec board controller and eight General Purpose Outputs via the onboard Super I/O. The GPIO signals are routed to the feature connector X35. OEM BIOS Customization The conga-IA5 is equipped with congatec Embedded BIOS, which is based on American Megatrends Inc.
OEM POST Logo This feature allows system designers to replace the congatec POST logo displayed in the upper left corner of the screen during BIOS POST with their own BIOS POST logo. Use the congatec system utility CGUTIL 1.5.4 or later to replace/add the OEM POST logo.
The architecture of the CGOS API driver provides the ability to write application software that runs unmodified on all congatec CPU modules. All the hardware related code is contained within the congatec embedded BIOS on the module. See section 1.1 of the CGOS API software developers guide, which is available on the congatec website.
