The conga-TC570 offers the LPC bus through an eSPI to LPC bridge. For information about the decoded LPC addresses, see section 9.1.1 “LPC Bus”. 5.1.9 I²C Bus The I²C bus is implemented through the congatec board controller 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. 5.1.10 GPIOs The conga-TC570 offers General Purpose Input/Output signals on the A–B connector. -
Page 29: General Purpose Serial Interface
5.1.11 General Purpose Serial Interface The conga-TC570 offers two standard 16C550 UARTs on the A–B connector via the congatec Board Controller. The interfaces support up to 115200 baud rate. Note The UART interfaces do not support hardware handshake and flow control. - Page 30 0.8 V when the 12 V 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.

Page 33: Additional Features
Board Controller (cBC) The conga-TC570 is equipped with Microchip microcontroller. This onboard microcontroller plays an important role for most of the congatec embedded/industrial PC 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. -
Page 34: Power Loss Control
OEM BIOS Customization The conga-TC570 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. -

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. -
