    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.
  • Page 28: Power Control

    A sample screenshot is shown below: Note 1. The module is kept in reset as long as PWR_OK is driven by carrier board hardware. 2. PWR_OK must be kept low before rising to 12V. Copyright © 2018 congatec AG TR44m17 28/65...
  • Page 29 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.
  • Page 34: Oem Post Logo

    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 35: 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.
