6.4.2
Power Loss Control
The cBC has full control of the power-up of the SBC, therefore can be used to specify the behavior of the system after an AC power loss
condition. Supported modes are "Always On", "Remain Off" and "Last State".
6.4.3
Board Information
The cBC provides a rich data-set of manufacturing and board information such as serial number, EAN number, hardware and firmware revisions,
and so on. 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. Aptio UEFI firmware. The congatec
Embedded BIOS allows system designers to modify the BIOS. For more information about customizing the congatec Embedded BIOS, refer
to the congatec System Utility user's guide, which is called CGUTLm1x.pdf and can be found on the congatec website at www.congatec.com
or contact technical support. The customization features supported are described below:
6.5.1
OEM Default Settings
This feature allows system designers to create and store their own BIOS default configuration. Customized BIOS development by congatec for
OEM default settings is no longer necessary because customers can easily perform this configuration by themselves using the congatec system
utility CGUTIL. See congatec application note AN8_Create_OEM_Default_Map.pdf on the congatec website for details on how to add OEM
default settings to the congatec Embedded BIOS.
6.5.2
OEM Boot Logo
This feature allows system designers to replace the standard text output displayed during POST with their own BIOS boot logo. Customized
BIOS development by congatec for OEM Boot Logo is no longer necessary because customers can easily perform this configuration by
themselves using the congatec system utility CGUTIL. See congatec application note AN8_Create_And_Add_Bootlogo.pdf on the congatec
website for details on how to add OEM boot logo to the congatec Embedded BIOS.
