COMe-cDC2 / Features and Interfaces JIDA16 and JIDA32 JIDA16 (JUMPtec® Intelligent Device Architecture) is a BIOS interface which allows programs running in Real Mode operating systems (i.e. MS DOS) to call certain functions implemented in the BIOS. These functions can be used to get module information, make settings and access the I2C Bus and the Watchdog unit.
Based on the JIDA32 interface users can implement advanced board functionality in their application. As an example utility Kontron provides K-Station for most 32bit Windows Operating Systems. K-Station 1 is a summary of command line utilities (Shell Tools) for easy access to JIDA32 BIOS implementations. Second part of K-Station is a JAVA based example GUI which gives a view an all available features using the Shell Tools.

COMe-cDC2 / Features and Interfaces 4.14 Speedstep Technology The Intel® processors offers the Intel® Enhanced SpeedStep™ technology that automatically switches between maximum performance mode and battery-optimized mode, depending on the needs of the application being run. It let you customize high performance computing on your applications. When powered by a battery or running in idle mode, the processor drops to lower frequencies (by changing the CPU ratios) and voltage, conserving battery life while maintaining a high level of performance.
COMe-cDC2 / Features and Interfaces 4.15 C-States New generation platforms include power saving features like SuperLFM, EIST (P-States) or C-States in O/S idle mode. Activated C-States are able to dramatically decrease power consumption in idle mode by reducing the Core Voltage or switching of parts of the CPU Core, the Core Clocks or the CPU Cache.
COMe-cDC2 / Features and Interfaces 4.16 Hyper Threading Hyper Threading (officially termed Hyper Threading Technology or HTT) is an Intel®-proprietary technology used to improve parallelization of computations performed on PC´s.
