  • Page 46: Sema Functions

    SEMA Functions Under the management of the BMC chip (Board Management Controller), the SEMA utility (Smart Embedded Management Agent) provides system control and failure protection—count- ing, monitoring, and measuring hardware and software events, from which the SoC can trigger corrective commands. The optional SEMA Cloud utility not only controls local events on the module but system client events on the Internet of Things (IoT.) Refer to the following bullets for a list of SEMA functions.

  • Page 47: Board Specific Sema Functions

    Use Main Current Function Main Current The BMC of the CM1-86DX3 implements a Current Monitor. The current can be read by call- ing 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.

  • Page 48: Real Time Clock (Rtc)

    The BMC Flags register returns the last detected exception code since power up. Real Time Clock (RTC) The CM1-86DX3 contains a Real Time (time of day) Clock (RTC), which can be backed up with an external Lithium Battery. The CM1-86DX3 will function without a battery in those environ- ments which prohibit batteries.

  • Page 51: Appendix A System Resources

    CM1-86DX3 Appendix A System Resources This appendix provides system resource specifications for the CM1-86DX3 including Memory addresses, IO addresses, PCI configuration registers, IO registers, and system interrupts. A.1 Memory Address Map The SoC supports 4 GBytes of addressable memory space and 64 KBytes of addressable I/O space.
  • Page 52 System BIOS Area (F0000–FFFFFh) This area is a single 64-KByte segment that can be assigned read and write attributes. It is by default (after reset) read/write disabled and cycles are forwarded to the PCI bus. By manipulat- ing the read/write attributes, the SoC can “shadow” BIOS into main memory. Memory that is dis- abled is not remapped.

  • Page 53: I/O Address Map

    CM1-86DX3 A.2 I/O Address Map The SoC positively decodes accesses to all internal registers, including PCI configuration regis- ters (CF8h and CFCh), PC/AT Compatible IO registers (8237, 8254 & 8259), and all re-locatable IO space registers (UART). Table A-1: Fixed IO Ranges in the CPU...
