Page 39 The conga-PA7 provides onboard eMMC 5.1 flash storage. The default storage capacity of each variant is listed in section 1.2 "conga-PA7". Optionally, the conga-PA7 can provide up to 128 GB flash storage (assembly option). Copyright © 2021 congatec GmbH PA70m01...
Page 40 The conga-PA7 is equipped with a Microchip Technology MEC1705 microcontroller. This onboard microcontroller plays an important role for most of the congatec BIOS features. The cBC fully isolates some of the embedded features such as system monitoring, I²C bus from the x86 core architecture.
Page 41 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 42 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.
Page 44 If you do not have access to the restricted area of the congatec website, contact your local congatec sales representative. 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.
Page 45 BIOS updates are recommended to correct platform issues or enhance the feature set of the SBC. The conga-PA7 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—...
