    Express-KL 5. Smart Embedded Management Agent (SEMA) The onboard microcontroller (BMC) implements power sequencing and Smart Embedded Management Agent (SEMA) functionality. The microcontroller communicates via the System Management Bus with the CPU/chipset. The following functions are implemented: ‧ Total operating hours counter. Counts the number of hours the module has been run in minutes.

  • Page 44: Board Specific Sema Functions

    5.1.2. Main Current The BMC of the Express-KL/KLE 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 high-byte (MSB) and low-byte (LSB). These 4 values represent the last 4 currents drawn by the board. The values are sampled every 250ms. The order of the 4 values is NOT in chronological order.

  • Page 45: Table 9: Sema Exception Codes

    Express-KL 5.1.4. Exception Codes In case of an error, the BMC drives a blinking code on the blue Status LED (LED1). The same error code is also reported by the BMC Flags register. The Exception Code is not stored in the Flash Storage and is cleared when the power is removed.

    Express-KL 9. Mechanical Information 9.1. Board-to-Board Connectors To allow for different stacking heights, the receptacles for COM Express carrier boards are available in two heights: 5 mm and 8 mm. When 5 mm receptacles are chosen, the carrier board should be free of components.

  • Page 88: Thermal Solution

    9.2. Thermal Solution 9.2.1. Heat Spreaders The function of the heat spreader is to ensure an identical mechanical profile for all COM Express modules. By using a heat spreader, the thermal solution that is built on top of the module is compatible with all COM Express modules.
  • Page 89 Use the three M2.5, L=6mm screws provided to fasten the heatsink to the module. Note: The Express-KL/KLE uses two screws to attach the heatsink to the COM Express module. Step 4: Place the COM Express module and heatsink assembly onto the connectors on the carrier board as shown.
