The conga-IC370 is equipped with a Microchip MEC1705 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, I²C bus from the x86 core architecture. The isolation helps improve performance and reliability even when the x86 processor is in a low power mode.
OEM BIOS Customization The conga-IC370 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 CGUTLm1x.pdf on the congatec website at www.congatec.com or contact technical support.
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 or 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, available on the congatec website.
BIOS Setup Description The BIOS setup description of the conga-IC370 can be viewed without having access to the module. However, access to the restricted area of the congatec website is required in order to download the necessary tool (CgMlfViewer) and Menu Layout File (MLF).
BIOS updates are recommeded to correct platform issues or enhance the feature set of the module. The conga-IC370 features a congatec/AMI AptioEFI firmware on an onboard flash ROM chip. You can update the firmware with the congatec System Utility. The utility has five versions—...
