10% to 90% portion of the rise time, the slope of the turn-on waveform must be positive. Power Consumption The power consumption values were measured with the following setup: • conga-TR4 module • modified congatec carrier board • conga-TR4 cooling solution • Microsoft Windows ®...
Consider also the self-discharge of the battery when calculating the lifetime of the CMOS battery. For more information, refer to application note AN9_RTC_Battery_Lifetime.pdf on congatec AG website at www.congatec.com/support/application-notes. We recommend to always have a CMOS battery present when operating the conga-TR4.
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.
Cooling Solutions congatec AG offers the cooling solutions listed in Table 9 for conga-TR4. The dimensions of the cooling solutions are shown in the sub-sections. All measurements are in millimeters. Table 9 Cooling Solution Variants Cooling Solution Part No Description 041651 Heatspreader with 2.7 mm bore-hole standoffs.
5.1.11 UART The conga-TR4 offers signals for two UART interfaces routed from the SoC by default. Optionally, the signals can be routed from the congatec Board Controller (cBC) instead. Two TTL compatible two wire ports are available on Type 6 COM Express modules. These pins are designated SER0_TX, SER0_RX, SER1_TX and SER1_RX.

0.8V when the 12V is applied to the module. Actively driving PWR_OK high is compliant to the COM Express specification but this can cause back driving. Therefore, congatec recommends driving the PWR_OK low to keep the module in reset and tri-state PWR_OK when the carrier board hardware is ready to boot.
A four wire fan must be used to generate the correct speed readout. The congatec COM Express Type 6 and Type 10 modules use a Push-Pull output for the fan_pwm signal instead of the open drain output specified in the COM Express specification. Although this does not comply with the COM Express specification 2.0, the benefits are obvious.
OEM BIOS Customization The conga-TR4 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/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.
The USB ports are configured in the BIOS setup menu to operate in Gen 1 mode. Before changing the setting to Gen 2, ensure the carrier board is designed for Gen 2 operation. For USB 3.1 Gen 2 design considerations, contact congatec technical support.
Signal Descriptions and Pinout Tables The following section describes the signals found on COM Express™ Type 6 connectors used for congatec AG modules. The pinout of the modules complies with COM Express Type 6 Rev. 2.1. Table 2 describes the terminology used in this section for the Signal Description tables. The PU/PD column indicates if a COM Express™...
Note The congatec COM Express Type 6 and Type 10 modules use a Push-Pull output for the fan_pwm signal instead of the open drain output specified in the COM Express specification. Although this does not comply with the COM Express specification 3.0, the benefits are obvious.
(they can be enabled in BIOS setup). The I/O range E38h-EBFh is always used by on-module LPC devices. Otherwise, the ranges listed above are available for customer use. If you require additional LPC Bus resources other than those mentioned above, or more information about this subject, contact congatec technical support for assistance.
I²C Bus There are no on-board resources connected to the I²C bus. Address 16h is reserved for congatec Battery Management solutions. SM Bus System Management (SM) bus signals are connected to the AMD Chipset and the SM bus is not intended to be used by off-board non-system management devices.

10.1 Navigating the BIOS Setup Menu The BIOS setup menu shows the features and options supported in the congatec BIOS. To access and navigate the BIOS setup menu, press the <DEL> or <F2> key during POST. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for text messages. These text messages explain the options and the possible impacts when changing the selected option in the left frame.
