6. Smart Embedded Management Agent (SEMA)
The onboard microcontroller (BMC) implements power sequencing and Smart Embedded Management Agent (SEMA) functionality.
The microcontroller communicates via the System Management Bus with the CPU/chipset. The following functions are implemented.
• Total operating hours counter. Counts the number of hours the module has been run in minutes.
• On-time minutes counter. Counts the seconds since last system start.
• Temperature monitoring of CPU and board temperature. Minimum and maximum temperature values of CPU and board are stored
in flash.
• Power cycles counter
• Boot counter. Counts the number of boot attempts.
• Watchdog Timer (Type-II). Set / Reset / Disable Watchdog Timer. Features auto-reload at power-up.
• System Restart Cause. Power loss / BIOS Fail / Watchdog / Internal Reset / External Reset
• Fail-safe BIOS support. In case of a boot failure, hardware signals tells external logic to boot from fail-safe BIOS.
• Flash area. 1kB Flash area for customer data
• 128 Bytes Protected Flash area. Keys, IDs, etc. can be stored in a write- and clear-protectable region.
• Board Identify. Vendor / Board / Serial number / Production Date
• Main-current & voltage. Monitors drawn current and main voltages
For a detailed description of SEMA features and functionality, please refer to the SEMA Technical Manual and SEMA Software Manual,
The BMC of the cExpress-BT implements a voltage monitor and samples several onboard voltages. The voltages can be read by calling the
SEMA function “Get Voltages”. The function returns a 16-bit value divided into high-byte (MSB) and low-byte (LSB).
ADC Channel Voltage Name Voltage Formula [V]
0 CPU-Vcore (MSB<<8 + LSB) x 3.3 / 1024
1 GFX-Vcore (MSB<<8 + LSB) x 3.3 / 1024
2 +V1.05S (MSB<<8 + LSB) x 3.3 / 1024
3 Vmem (MSB<<8 + LSB) x 3.3 / 1024

7 (MAIN CURRENT) Use Main Current Function
Page 38AmITX-BT-I
6.1.2. Main Current
The BMC of the cExpress-BT implements a current monitor. The current can be read by calling the SEMA function “Get Main Current”. The
function returns four 16-bit values divided in high-byte (MSB) and low-byte (LSB). These 4 values represent the last 4 currents drawn by the
board. The values are sampled every 250ms. The order of the 4 values is NOT in chronological order. Access by the BMC may increase the
drawn current of the whole system. In this case, there are still 3 samples not influenced by the read access.
Main Current = (MSB_n<<8 + LSB_n) x 8.06mA
6.1.3. BMC Status
This register shows the status of BMC controlled signals on the cExpress-BT.

6.1.4. Exception Codes
In case of an error, the BMC drives a blinking code on the blue Status LED (LED1). The same error code is also reported by the BMC Flags
register. The Exception Code is not stored in the Flash Storage and is cleared when the power is removed. Therefore, a “Clear Exception
Code” command is not needed or supported.
