2.10Power Consumption
The 12V measurement is power to the module only (excluding carrier board
power draw). The 5Vsb measurement (in S3/S5 mode) includes both module
power consumption plus active 5Vsb powered peripherals (such as PS/2
and USB) on the carrier that are needed for wakeup. Although all voltages
were measured, only 12 V and 5 VSB are relevant because they are the
only ones used by the Express module. The Idle power level was measured
under Windows XP with no applications running (login screen). Max Load
was measured under Windows XP running BurnIn software. Measurements
were made with two 1GB 1066 MHz DDR3 SODIMM memory modules installed.

All embedded board functions on ADLINK’s Computer on Modules are supported at the
operating system level using the ADLINK Intelligent Device Interface (AIDI) library. The AIDI API
programming interface is compatible and identical across all ADLINK Computer on Modules and
all supported operating systems. The AIDI library includes a demo program to demonstrate the
library’s functionallity.
6.1Watchdog Timer
The Express-CB implements a Watchdog timer that can be used to
automatically detect software execution problems or system hangs and
reset the board if necessary. The Watchdog timer consists of a counter
that counts down from an initial value to zero. When the system is
operating normally, the software that sets the intial value periodically
resets the counter so that the it never reaches zero. If the counter
reaches zero before the software resets it, the system is presumed to be
malfunctioning and a reset signal is asserted.
The AIDI Library Watchdog functions support Watchdog control of the board. If the Watchdog
begins countdown and reaches zero, it will access the CPU's RESET signal to reset the system.
This application must call another function named AidiWDogTrigger that triggers the
Watchdog to restart to prevent system reset.
AIDI Demo Program
- Watchdog Tab
The AIDI Demo Program allows
retrieval of the current Watchdog
status and updating of the
Watchdog settings
If the Watchdog is enabled, the
user can click the WDT Trigger
button to manually reset the
counter and prevent the system
from resetting

6.2GPIO
GPIO library support is limited to GPIO signals that originate from the Computer on Module
and extend to the carrier board. COM Express modules support 4 GPO and 4 GPI signals.
Some of ADLINK’s COM Express boards can configure all 8 ports for GPI or GPO use.
GPIO signals can be monitored and controlled by using the ADLINK Intelligent Device
Interface (AIDI) library that is compatible and identical across all ADLINK COM Express
modules and all supported operating systems.
The COM Express Type 2 standard assigns the following pins for either GPI or GPO

The AIDI Demo Program displays
current GPI or GPO status and
allows reading of GPI and writing
to GPO.
The table above links logical port
numbers in AIDI to physical port
numbers on the COM Express
board-to-board connector.
For boards that support multi-direction the “SetDirection” button
can configure the port for either
GPI or GPO
To ensure system health of your embedded system ADLINK’s COM Express modules come
with built in support for monitoring and control of CPU and system temperatures, fan speed
and critical module voltage levels.
The AIDI Library provides simple APIs at the application level to support these functions and
adds alarm functions when voltage or temperature levels exceed the upper or lower limit set
by the user.
On the Express-CB the following monitored values can be read from the module:
CPU temperature, system temperature, Vcore, 1.8V, 5V, 3.3V and 12V.
AIDI Demo Program
- HW Monitor Tab
Field 1 displays detected sensors

This section of this document lists checkpoints and beep codes generated by AMIBIOS. The
checkpoints defined in this document are inherent to the AMIBIOS generic core, and do not
include any chipset or board specific checkpoint definitions.
Checkpoints and Beep Codes Definition
A checkpoint is either a byte or word value output to I/O port 80h. The BIOS outputs checkpoints
throughout bootblock and Power-On Self Test (POST) to indicate the task the system is currently
executing. Checkpoints are very useful for debugging problems that occur during the preboot process.
Beep codes are used by the BIOS to indicate a serious or fatal error. They are used when an error
occurs before the system video has been initialized, and generated by the system board speaker.
Viewing BIOS Checkpoints
Viewing all checkpoints generated by the BIOS requires a checkpoint card, also referred to as a
“POST Card” or “POST Diagnostic Card”. These are PCI add-in cards that show the value of
I/O port 80h on a LED display.
Some computers display checkpoints in the bottom right corner of the screen during POST.
This display method is limited, since it only displays checkpoints that occur after the video
card has been activated.
Keep in mind that not all computers using AMIBIOS enable this feature. In most cases, a
checkpoint card is the best tool for viewing AMIBIOS checkpoints.
