Hardware Serial Interfaces The CoreModule 720 provides four RS-232 serial ports. The PCH EG20T contains the circuitry for all four serial ports and delivers the signals through two RS-232 transceivers: one transceiver for port COM0 and the second transceiver for ports COM1, COM2, and COM3. The serial ports support the following features: •...
Ground Note: The shaded table cells denote ground. USB Interfaces The CoreModule 720 contains three root USB hubs and six functional USB ports. The PCH provides the USB function including the following features: • Supports USB v.2.0 EHCI and USB v.1.1 UHCI •...

Hardware C Interface The CoreModule 720 provides a single-channel I2C interface, which conforms to version 2.1 of the I2C bus specification. The I2C controller resides on the EG20T PCH and operates as a master or slave device, supporting a multi-master bus. The following list highlights the features of the I2C bus interface.
Real Time Clock (RTC) The CoreModule 720 contains a Real Time Clock (RTC). The RTC can be backed up with a battery. If the battery is not present, the board BIOS has a battery-less boot option to complete the boot process.
Hardware Serial Console The CoreModule 720 BIOS supports the serial console (or console redirection) feature. This I/O function is ANSI-compatible with a serial terminal or with equivalent terminal emulation software running on another system. This can be very useful when setting up the BIOS on a production line for systems that are not connected to a keyboard and display.
Entering BIOS Setup (Serial Port Console) This section describes how to enter the BIOS setup through a remote serial terminal or PC. Turn on the power supply to the CoreModule 720 and enter the BIOS Setup Utility using a local video display.
OEM Logo Utility The CoreModule 720 BIOS supports a graphical logo utility, which allows the user to customize the boot screen image. The graphical image can be a company logo or any custom image the user wants to display during the boot process.
BIOS Setup BIOS Setup Menus This section provides illustrations of the six main setup screens in the CoreModule 720 BIOS Setup Utility. Below each illustration is a bullet list of the screen’s submenus and setting selections. The setting selections are presented in brackets after each submenu or menu item, and the optimal default settings are presented in bold.
