The conga-TCA5 offers a 4-bit SD interface for SD/MMC cards on the A-B connector. The SD signals are multiplexed with GPIO signals and controlled by the congatec Board controller. The SD card controller in the Storage Control Cluster of the SoC supports the SD interface with up to 832 Mbps data rate using 4 parallel data lines. -

I²C Bus The I²C bus is implemented through the congatec board controller (Texas Instruments Tiva™ TM4E1231H6ZRB) and accessed through the congatec CGOS driver and API. The controller provides a fast-mode multi-master I²C bus that has the maximum I²C bandwidth. 5.1.14 The conga-TCA5 supports SPI interface. - Page 29 The module is kept in reset as long as the PWR_OK is driven by carrier board hardware. The conga-TCA5 supports the controlling of ATX-style power supplies. If you do not use an ATX power supply, do not connect the conga- TCA5 pins SUS_S3/PS_ON, 5V_SB, and PWRBTN# on the conga-TCA5.

Page 33: Additional Features
The conga-TCA5 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. -

For more information, see the BIOS setup description in section 10.4.2 of this document and application note AN3_Watchdog.pdf on the congatec AG website at www.congatec.com. Note The conga-TCA5 module does not support the watchdog NMI mode. -

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. -
Page 36: Oem Bios Code/Data
OEM BIOS Code/Data With the congatec embedded BIOS it is possible for system designers to add their own code to the BIOS POST process. The congatec Embedded BIOS first calls the OEM code before handing over control to the OS loader. -
Page 37: Api Support (Cgos)
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. -

Native mode. See section 10.4.9 for more information about this. Running in native mode frees up interrupt resources (IRQs 14 and 15) and decreases the chance that there may be a shortage of interrupts when installing devices. Note If your operating system supports native mode then congatec AG recommends you enable it. 7.1.1.3 Thermal Management ACPI is responsible for allowing the operating system to play an important part in the system's thermal management. -
