Gen4 lanes are used for CompactPCI® Serial backplane support and SC9-TOCCATA local mezzanine expansion. At the beginning, four processors are supported with different SC9-TOCCATA SKUs. The Tiger Lake H processors are housed in a BGA package for direct soldering to the PCB, i.e. the chip cannot be replaced by the user.
SC9-TOCCATA • CompactPCI® Serial CPU Board • 11th Generation Intel® Processors Platform Controller Hub (PCH) The SC9-TOCCATA is equipped with the RM590E Platform Controller Hub (Mobile Intel® 500 Series, industrial with Intel® vPro™). The PCH is attached to the Tiger Lake H processor via the DMI x8 Gen3.0 interface and provides up to 30 high speed I/O ports.
The Tiger Lake H processors feature two channels x64 of DDR4 SDRAMs with support of ECC (Error Correction Code). On the SC9-TOCCATA, one channel is realized with up to 18 memory devices 8/16Gb soldered to the board (Memory Down) and delivers a capacity of up to 32GB at a clock frequency of 3200MHz.
SC9-TOCCATA • CompactPCI® Serial CPU Board • 11th Generation Intel® Processors Mass Storage The SC9-TOCCATA base board is not provided with any mass storage device. Instead, EKF offers several low profile mezzanine modules such as the S48-SSD, with two M.2 sockets for PCIe® SSDs.
USB devices. Both signal groups are provided by the Tiger Lake H processor via multiplexers. With respect to USB, the SC9-TOCCATA front panel Type-C receptacles conform to USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 (10Gbps data transfer rate). Thunderbolt is not supported on the SC9-TOCCATA.
Intel® TCC (Intel® Time Coordinated Computing) defines additional in-system mechanisms for Time Synchronization and Timeliness. If equipped with an S8x-P6 low profile mezzanine module, the SC9-TOCCATA in addition provides CompactPCI® Serial backplane Ethernet, either switch based, or via NICs. 8HP assembly mezzanine side cards such as the SCJ-VEENA allow to expand the number of front panel 2.5GbE jacks to...
SC9-TOCCATA • CompactPCI® Serial CPU Board • 11th Generation Intel® Processors Trusted Platform Module (TPM) The SC9-TOCCATA provides a Trusted Platform Module according to TPM2.0. The Infineon Optiga™ SLx 9670 TPM2.0 is connected to the PCH by an SPI interface, and supports various cryptographic algorithms.
SC9-TOCCATA • CompactPCI® Serial CPU Board • 11th Generation Intel® Processors Serial ATA (SATA) The SC9-TOCCATA provides five Serial ATA (SATA) ports for backplane usage, derived from the PCH. These ports support data transfer rates of 6Gbps (600MB/s), 3Gbps (300MB/s) or 1.5Gbps (150MB/s).
SC9-TOCCATA • CompactPCI® Serial CPU Board • 11th Generation Intel® Processors PCI Express® The SC9-TOCCATA is mainly based on PCI Express® (PCIe®) technology for on-board communication, CompactPCI® Serial backplane support, and mezzanine I/O expansion. Twenty PCI Express® lanes are provided by the Tiger Lake H processor, organized as two links x8 for the two backplane fat pipe slots defined by CompactPCI®...
(32MB in total, for UEFI/BIOS and firmware program storage. These components are attached to an PCH SPI port, and can be updated if necessary by the user. EKF provides programming tools and maintains BIOS long-term support with respect to feature updates and security issues.
In applications were the use of a battery is not permitted, a SuperCap can be soldered instead of the battery. It is also possible to use the SC9-TOCCATA without any battery or SuperCap. In this case the Real- Time Clock can’t keep its time and date. Per default an error message is reported by the UEFI/BIOS...
An important reliability feature is a software programmable watchdog function. The SC9-TOCCATA contains two of these watchdogs. One is part of the PCH and also known as TCO watchdog. For a detailed description please refer to the 'Intel® 500 Series Chipset Family Platform Controller Hub' documentation.
The SC9-TOCCATA is provided with several supervisor circuits to monitor supply rails like the CPU core voltage, 1.2V, 3.3V or 5V. The healthy state of the SC9-TOCCATA is indicated by the LED PG (Power Good) located in the front panel. This bicoloured LED signals different states of the board (see section below).
6.65A has been defined by the CompactPCI® Serial specification for a card slot. The maximum current actually required for the SC9-TOCCATA will be by far lower and depends on the particular processor populated and mezzanine expansion module in use.
SC9-TOCCATA • CompactPCI® Serial CPU Board • 11th Generation Intel® Processors Thermal Considerations In order to avoid malfunctioning of the SC9-TOCCATA, take care of appropriate cooling of the processor and system, e.g. by a cooling fan suitable to the maximum power consumption of the CPU chip actually in use.
WAKE# (Connector P1 Pin I2) will be disconnected One result of that is, that a SC9-TOCCATA plugged into a peripheral slot will not get a reset even if the system controller forces the reset signal on the backplane to an active state.
SC9-TOCCATA • CompactPCI® Serial CPU Board • 11th Generation Intel® Processors Board Hot-Plug Hot-plug of the SC9-TOCCATA itself is not supported, no matter whether it is working as a system controller or satellite board. But the SC9-TOCCATA can detect and handle hot-plug events of CompactPCI®...
SC9-TOCCATA • CompactPCI® Serial CPU Board • 11th Generation Intel® Processors Technical Reference Local PCI® Devices The following table shows the on-board PCI® devices and their location within the PCI® configuration space. Several devices are part of the processor and platform controller hub RM590E (Mobile Series 500 PCH).
Local SMB/I C Devices The SC9-TOCCATA contains devices that are attached to the System Management Bus (SMBus). These are the SPD EEPROMs for the on-board memory or the possibly plugged SODIMM, a general purpose serial EEPROM containing board configuration data, the supply voltage/temperature monitoring device NCT7491, a counter for operating hours and reset events, a set of board control and status registers as well as two dual general purpose, non-volatile electronic jumpers.
SC9-TOCCATA • CompactPCI® Serial CPU Board • 11th Generation Intel® Processors Hardware Monitor NCT7491 Attached to the SMBus, the SC9-TOCCATA is provided with the hardware monitor NCT7491. This device is capable to observe the temperatures of the board, processor cores, and on-board memory, as well as several supply voltage rails with a resolution of 10 bit.
SC9-TOCCATA • CompactPCI® Serial CPU Board • 11th Generation Intel® Processors Board Control and Status Registers (BCSR) A set of board control and status registers allow to program special features on the SC9-TOCCATA: < Assert a full reset < Control activity of front panel reset and power event button <...

The jumper J-GP may be used to reset the UEFI/BIOS configuration settings to a default state. The UEFI/BIOS on SC9-TOCCATA stores most of its settings in an area within the UEFI/BIOS flash, e.g. the actual boot devices. Using the jumper J-GP is only necessary, if it is not possible to enter the setup of the UEFI/BIOS.
The jumper J-MFG is used to bring the board into the manufacturer mode. This is necessary only on board production time and should not used by customers. For normal operation the jumper should be removed. The pin header J-MFG is not stuffed on the SC9-TOCCATA by default. J-MFG...
CPU fails to enter the UEFI/BIOS POST after power on. Note that installing of jumper J-RTC will neither set UEFI/BIOS Setup to EKF Factory Defaults nor resets the time and date register values of the RTC (Real Time Clock). To reset the RTC core the board must be removed from the system rack.
F/P connectors are therefore not described in detail in this section. Caution SC9-TOCCATA mezzanine connectors provide operating voltage (3.3V, 5V and 12V) to devices inside the system chassis, such as mezzanine cards or system internal peripherals. Not all of these power rails are short circuit protected.
(HSE1, HSE2) and in addition a side band I/F connector (N-EXP) are populated on top of the CPU board. EKF offers low profile mezzanine modules which fit into the 4HP envelope of the CPU carrier card, with varying B2B clearance from 10.0mm to 10.8mm, and also side cards for additional 4HP mounting pitch (8HP in total assembly, 18.7mm B2B).
