    The conga-TCA is equipped with a STMicroelectronics STM32 microcontroller. This onboard microcontroller plays an important role for most of the congatec embedded/industrial PC features. It fully isolates some of the embedded features such as system monitoring or the I²C bus from the x86 core architecture, which results in higher embedded feature performance and more reliability, even when the x86 processor is in a low power mode.

    OEM BIOS Code With the congatec embedded BIOS it is even possible for system designers to add their own code to the BIOS POST process. Except for custom specific code, this feature can also be used to support Win XP SLP installation, Window 7 SLIC table, verb tables for HDA codecs, rare graphic modes and Super I/O controllers.

    EAPI (Embedded Application Programming Interface) is a programming interface defined by the PICMG that addresses this problem. With this unified API, it is now possible to run the same application on all vendor’s COMs that offer EAPI driver support. Contact congatec technical support for more information about EAPI.
