If you need to load the BIOS default values, they can be automatically loaded at boot time. The LEC-BTS boots from CD drives, USB sticks, hard disks, or µSD-Cards. Provided that any of these is connected and contains a valid operating system image, the display then shows the boot screen of your operating system.
The main chips used in the LEC-BTS may provide more features or options than are listed for the LEC-BTS, but some of these features or options are not supported on the mod- ule and will not function as specified in the chip docu- mentation.
PCI Express (PCIe) The CPU features four PCIe x1 ports, and the LEC-BTS module uses three of them for the PCIe interface and one of them for the Gigabit Ethernet interface. The PCIe interface supports the PCIe Base Specification 2.0 with a maximum signal rate of 5 GT/s and can be configured to sup- port PCIe edge cards or Express Cards.
SDMMC pins on the SMARC connector. 3.15 GPIO The LEC-BTS provides 12 GPIO signals from the CMOS device on the module. The GPIO sig- nals can be utilized for General Purpose IOs as well as camera, HDA, PWM, TACH, and CAN interfaces.
3.17 SMARC Interface Signals Table 3-2 provides the pin signals for the SMARC P-S connector.

Board Specific SEMA functions Voltages The BMC of the LEC-BTS implements a Voltage Monitor and samples several Onboard Volt- ages. The Voltages can be read by calling the SEMA function, “Get Voltages”. The function returns a 16-bit value divided in Hi-Byte (MSB) and Lo-Byte (LSB).
Page 65
LEC-BTS Main Current The BMC of the LEC-BTS implements a Current Monitor. The current can be read by calling the SEMA function “Get Main Current”. The function returns four 16-bit values divided in Hi-Byte (MSB) and Lo-Byte (LSB). These four values represent the last four currents drawn by the board.
Watchdog Timer The LEC-BTS features three separate Watchdog Timers. One of them is integrated in the SoC and two are provided by the BMC (managed by the SEMA). The SoC Watchdog can be configured in the BIOS or by programming the Watchdog registers.
