1 Introduction

1.1 Mini-ITX Concept

The Mini-ITX form factor provides enthusiasts and manufacturers with a standardized ultra compact platform for development. With a footprint of 170mm x170mm, this scalable platform promotes the design of highly integrated, energy efﬁcient systems. Due to its small size, the Mini-ITX form factor enables PC appliance designers not only to design attractive low cost devices but also allows them to explore a huge variety of product development options - from compact space-saving designs to fully functional Information Station and Value PC systems. This helps to reduce product design cycle and encourages rapid innovation in system design, to meet the ever-changing needs of the market.

Additionally, the boards can also be passively cooled, presenting opportunities for fanless designs. The Mini-ITX boards are equipped with various interfaces such as PCI Express, SATA, USB 2.0/3.0, Ethernet, Displays and Audio.

1.2 conga-IA3

The conga-IA3 is a Single Board Computer designed based on the Thin Mini-ITX speciﬁcation. The conga-IA3 SBC features the Intel 3rd generation Atom/Celeron processors. With maximum 10W TDP processors, the SBC offers Ultra Low Power boards with high computing performance and outstanding graphics. Additionally, the SBC supports dual channel DDR3L up to 1333 MT/s for a maximum system memory capacity of 16 GB, multiple I/O interfaces, up to two independent displays and various congatec embedded features.

With smaller board size and lower height keep-out zones, the conga-IA3 SBC provides manufacturers and enthusiasts with the opportunity to design compact systems for space restricted areas. With appropriate I/O shield, the same conga-IA3 SBC can be used in either a Thin Mini-ITX or a Mini-ITX design.

The various features and capabilities offered by the conga-IA3 makes it ideal for the design of compact, energy efﬁcient, performance-oriented embedded systems.

Note

Some of the features mentioned in the above feature summary are optional. Check the article number of your module and compare it to the option information list on page 11 of this user’s guide to determine what options are available on your particular module.

The conga-IA3 supports only DDR3L memory modules and the memory modules in the sockets must be symmetrical - that is, same raw cards and same memory sizes. This is because the Bay Trail SoC on the conga-IA3 does not support mixed raw cards or same raw cards with mixed memory sizes. Although the conga-IA3 might boot up with asymmetrical memory modules, this may however cause memory errors or instabilities. Therefore use only symmetrical DDR3L memory modules on the conga-IA3 and also make sure the memory module supports the data transfer rate of the particular variant.

In addition, if you use only one memory module then you must insert this memory module only in the ﬁrst memory slot of the conga-IA3 (top side). Due to the Bay Trail architecture, the conga-IA3 will ignore the second memory socket (bottom side) if the ﬁrst memory slot is not populated. This means that you cannot boot up the conga-IA3 if the ﬁrst memory slot is empty. See the Bay Trail datasheet for more information.

2.2 Supported Operating Systems

The conga-IA3 supports the following operating systems.

• Microsoft® Windows

• Microsoft® Windows® 7

• Microsoft® Windows® 7/8 Embedded Standard

• Linux

Note

Intel does not currently provide validated eMMC and SD drivers for Win 7/WES7.

For the installation of Windows 7/8 and WES7/8, congatec AG requires a minimum storage capacity of 16 GB. congatec will not offer support for systems with less than 16 GB storage space.

4 Cooling Solution

The conga-IA3 SBC offers Ultra Low Power boards with high computing performance and outstanding graphics. Due to its low power consumption, the SBC generates less heat and therefore requires less active cooling, allowing the use of quieter, lower proﬁle coolers that are better suited to small form factor systems.

Nonetheless, all electronics contain semiconductor devices which have operating temperature ranges that should be adhered to. This means that for reliable operation, the thermal design of the conga-IA3 must be carefully considered. For this reason, it is imperative to provide sufﬁcient air ﬂow to each of the components, to ensure the speciﬁed operating temperature of the conga-IA3 is maintained.

congatec AG offers two cooling possibilities for the conga-IA3:

• A congatec heatspreader in combination with the conga-IA3 retention frame. This cooling solution is adapted to the Thin Mini-ITX height speciﬁcation and features a Hi-Flow 225UT pressure sensitive, phase change thermal interface. Refer to section 4.2 “Heatspreader Dimensions” for the dimensions of the congatec heatspreader.

• The use of a custom cooling solution in combination with the conga-IA3 retention frame.

Note

When a passive cooling is used, the end user must ensure that adequate air ﬂow is maintained.

See section 1.2.2 “Optional Accessories/Cables” for the part numbers of the cooling accessories.

4.1 Cooling Installation

Assembly Instruction:

• Flip over the SBC and locate the position of the CPU

• Place retention frame on the bottom side of the board with insulating foil facing the PCB and standoffs inserted to PCB mounting holes.

• Remove the heatspreader's protection pull tab foil from the phase changer and carefully place the heatspreader to the CPU.

• Insert assembling screws.

• Hold the heatspreader with one hand so that it does not tilt while tightening the screws.

• Slightly tighten each of the 4 screws so that they hold the heatspreader in place. To do so, start with one screw and then slightly tighten the other screws in a crossover pattern. All the while keep holding the cooling adapter straight with one hand.

• Now you can fully tighten the screws. Once again start with one and then continue to tighten the other screws in a crossover pattern. All the while keep holding the cooling adapter straight with one hand

Caution

congatec cooling solutions have been speciﬁcally designed for use within commercial temperature ranges (0° to 60°C) only. It is the responsibility of the end user to design an optimized thermal solution that meets the needs of their application within the industrial environmental conditions it is required to operate in. Attention must be given to the mounting solution used to mount the cooling solution and SBC into the system chassis.

Page 18

4.2 Heatspreader

Note

All measurements are in millimeters. Torque speciﬁcation for cooling solution screws is 0.6 Nm. Mechanical system assembly mounting shall follow the valid DIN/IS0 speciﬁcations.

Caution

When using the heatspreader in a high shock and/or vibration environment, congatec recommends the use of a thread-locking ﬂuid on the cooling solution screws to ensure the above mentioned torque speciﬁcation is maintained.

5.9.3 Mini PCIe (Full Size)

The conga-IA3 offers an mPCIe slot on connector X6. This connector supports both mPCIe and mSATA devices. The PCIe signals are routed from the SoC's PCIe lane 0 to connector X6 (mPCIe/mSATA slot) via two multiplexers. The ﬁrst multiplexer switches the PCIe signals between the x1 PCIe slot (connector X9) and the mPCIe/mSATA slot (connector X6). The second multiplexer switches the SATA signals between SATA port 1 (connector CN2) and mSATA/mPCIe slot.

When an mPCIe or mSATA device is attached to the mPCIe/mSATA slot (connector X6), the SoC detects the connected device via the signal detect pin (pin 43), sets the communication mode to PCIe or SATA and automatically switches the PCIe/SATA signals to mPCIe/mSATA slot.

See section 5.9.2 "Mini PCIe (Half Size)" for the mini PCIe Pinout Description.

Connector Type

X6: PCIe Mini Card Socket

Note

Pins 21 and 43 of the mPCIe card must be terminated to ground for card present detection and card type recognition respectively.

The PCIe x1 slot on connector X9 will not function if you insert a mini PCIe card into the mPCIe slot (connector X6). To make use of the PCIe x1 slot, do not insert any mini PCIe device into the mPCIe slot (connector X6).

6.3 Trusted Platform Module – TPM (Optional)

The conga-IA3 SBC can optionally be equipped with a TPM 1.2 compliant security chip. The TPM security chip is connected to the LPC bus provided by the integrated Intel Chipset. The basic TPM chip initialization is performed by the SBC’s UEFI Boot ﬁrmware.

6.4 congatec Board Controller (cBC)

The conga-IA3 is equipped with a Texas Instruments Tiva™ TM4E1231H6ZRBI microcontroller. This onboard microcontroller plays an important role for most of the congatec BIOS 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.

6.4.1 Fan Control

The conga-IA3 has additional signals and functions to further improve system management. One of these signals is an output signal called FAN_PWMOUT that allows system fan control using a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) output. Additionally, there is an input signal called FAN_TACHOIN that provides the ability to monitor the system’s fan RPMs (revolutions per minute). This signal must receive two pulses per revolution in order to produce an accurate reading. For this reason, a two pulse per revolution fan or similar hardware solution is recommended.

6.6 OEM BIOS Customization

The conga-IA3 is equipped with congatec Embedded BIOS, which is based on American Megatrends Inc. Aptio UEFI ﬁrmware. The congatec Embedded BIOS allows system designers to modify the BIOS. For more information about customizing the congatec Embedded BIOS, refer to the congatec System Utility user’s guide, which is called CGUTLm1x.pdf and can be found on the congatec website at www.congatec.com or contact technical support.

The customization features supported are described below:

6.6.1 OEM Default Settings

This feature allows system designers to create and store their own BIOS default conﬁguration. Customized BIOS development by congatec for OEM default settings is no longer necessary because customers can easily perform this conﬁguration by themselves using the congatec system utility CGUTIL. See congatec application note AN8_Create_OEM_Default_Map.pdf on the congatec website for details on how to add OEM default settings to the congatec Embedded BIOS.

6.6.2 OEM Boot Logo

This feature allows system designers to replace the standard text output displayed during POST with their own BIOS boot logo. Customized BIOS development by congatec for OEM Boot Logo is no longer necessary because customers can easily perform this conﬁguration by themselves using the congatec system utility CGUTIL. See congatec application note AN8_Create_And_Add_Bootlogo.pdf on the congatec website for details on how to add OEM boot logo to the congatec Embedded BIOS.

6.6.3 OEM POST Logo

This feature allows system designers to replace the congatec POST logo displayed in the upper left corner of the screen during BIOS POST with their own BIOS POST logo. Use the congatec system utility CGUTIL 1.5.4 or later to replace/add the OEM POST logo.

Page 48

6.6.4 OEM BIOS Code/Data

With the congatec embedded BIOS, it is possible for system designers to add their own code to the BIOS POST process. The congatec Embedded BIOS ﬁrst calls the OEM code before handing over control to the OS loader.

Except for custom speciﬁc code, this feature can also be used to support Win XP SLP installation, Window 7 SLIC table (OA2.0), Windows 8 OEM activation (OA3.0), verb tables for HDA codecs, PCI/PCIe opROMs, bootloaders, rare graphic modes and Super I/O controller initialization.

Note

The OEM BIOS code of the new UEFI based ﬁrmware is only called when the CSM (Compatibility Support Module) is enabled in the BIOS setup menu. Contact congatec technical support for more information on how to add OEM code.

6.6.5 OEM DXE Driver

This feature allows designers to add their own UEFI DXE driver to the congatec embedded BIOS. Contact congatec technical support for more information on how to add an OEM DXE driver.

6.7 congatec Battery Management Interface

In order to facilitate the development of battery powered mobile systems based on embedded modules, congatec AG has deﬁned an interface for the exchange of data between a CPU module (using an ACPI operating system) and a Smart Battery system. A system developed according to the congatec Battery Management Interface Speciﬁcation can provide the battery management functions supported by an ACPI capable operating system (e.g. charge state of the battery, information about the battery, alarms/events for certain battery states, ...) without the need for any additional modiﬁcations to the system BIOS.

In addtion to the ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery mentioned above, the latest versions of the conga-IA3 BIOS and board controller ﬁrmware also support LTC1760 battery manager from Linear Technology and a battery only solution (no charger). All three battery solutions are supported on the I2C bus and the SMBus. This gives the system designer more ﬂexibility when choosing the appropriate battery sub-system.

For more information about this subject visit the congatec website and view the following documents:

• congatec Battery Management Interface Speciﬁcation

• Battery System Design Guide

• conga-SBM3 User’s Guide

6.8 API Support (CGOS)

In order to beneﬁt from the above mentioned non-industry standard feature set, congatec provides an API that allows application software developers to easily integrate all these features into their code. The CGOS API (congatec Operating System Application Programming Interface) is the congatec proprietary API that is available for all commonly used Operating Systems such as Win32, Win64, Win CE, Linux. The architecture of the CGOS API driver provides the ability to write application software that runs unmodiﬁed on all congatec CPU modules. All the hardware related code is contained within the congatec embedded BIOS on the module. See section 1.1 of the CGOS API software developers guide, which is available on the congatec website .

6.9 GPIOs

The conga-IA3 SBC provides eight General Purpose Inputs via the congatec board controller and eight General Purpose Outputs via the onboard Super I/O. The GPIO signals are routed to the feature connector X34.

6.10 Thermal/Voltage Monitoring

The conga-IA3 SBC features three temperature sensors - the CPU, memory and board controller sensors.

The board controller can monitor six different voltages which are main power, 5V (runtime), 5V (standby), 1.05V (runtime), VCORE, 3,3V (runtime) and 3,3V (standby).

6.11 Beeper

The board-mounted speaker (M10) provides audible error code (beep code) information during POST.

6.12 External System Wake Event

The conga-IA3 supports LAN, USB, PCIe and PWRBTN driven wake up events.

Disabled – USB ports will function in USB2.0 mode only. No USB3.0 OS driver required. The USB ports will be routed to EHCI1 controller.

Enabled – USB ports will function correctly in BIOS but the ports on which the USB3.0 mode is enabled (see USB0 port USB3.0 item) will not function at all under OS if the USB3.0 OS driver is not installed. USB ports will not function in pre-OS time if USB3.0 Support in BIOS is disabled (see the USB3.0 Support in BIOS item).

Auto – USB ports are initially set to operate in USB2.0 Mode and the USB3.0 OS driver (if available) will switch them USB3.0 mode. If USB3.0 OS driver is not available than the ports will function correctly but they will operate in USB2.0 mode.

Smart Auto – The BIOS will store the USB mode set by the OS and at next boot the BIOS will set this previously used mode. At G3 boot (ﬁrst boot after mechanical disconnection of the power supply) the USB ports will function identically as in Auto mode. This mode is not available when Disabled is selected at USB3.0 Support in BIOS item.

The “Type Based” boot priority list allows you to select device types, even if a respective device is not yet present. Moreover, the “Device Based” boot priority list might change dynamically in cases when devices are physically removed or added to the system. The “Type Based” boot menu is static and can only be changed by the user.

Power Loss Control Remain Off

Turn On Last State

Speciﬁes the mode of operation if an AC power loss occurs. Remain Off keeps the power off until the power button is pressed. Turn On restores power to the computer. Last State restores the previous power state before power loss occurred. Note: Only works with an ATX type power supply.

Fast Boot Disabled

Enabled

Enable or disable boot with initialization of a minimal set of devices required to launch active boot option. Has no effect for BBS / legacy boot options.

Note

1. The term ‘AC power loss’ stands for the state when the module looses the standby voltage on the 5V_SB pins. On congatec modules, the standby voltage is continuously monitored after the system is turned off. If within 30 seconds the standby voltage is no longer detected, then this is considered an AC power loss condition. If the standby voltage remains stable for 30 seconds, then it is assumed that the system was switched off properly.

2. Inexpensive ATX power supplies often have problems with short AC power sags. When using these ATX power supplies it is possible that the system turns off but does not switch back on, even when the PS_ON# signal is asserted correctly by the module. In this case, the internal circuitry of the ATX power supply has become confused. Usually another AC power off/on cycle is necessary to recover from this situation.

9 Additional BIOS Features

The conga-IA3 uses a congatec/AMI AptioEFI that is stored in an onboard Flash Rom chip and can be updated using the congatec System Utility (version 1.5.0 and later), which is available in a DOS based command line, Win32 command line, Win32 GUI, and Linux version.

The BIOS displays a message during POST and on the main setup screen identifying the BIOS project name and a revision code. The initial production BIOS is identiﬁed as IA32R1xx and IC32R1xx where :

• IA32 is the BIOS for modules with Intel Atom Dual Channel Memory SoC

• IC32 is the BIOS for modules with Intel Celeron Dual Channel Memory SoC

• R is the identiﬁer for a BIOS ROM ﬁle, 1 is the so called feature number and xx is the major and minor revision number.

The binary size of IA32 and IC32 BIOS is 8MB.

9.1 Supported Flash Devices

The conga-IA3 supports the following ﬂash devices:

• Winbond W25Q64CVSSIG (8MB)

The ﬂash device listed above is tested and can be used on the carrier board for external BIOS support. For more information about external BIOS support, refer to the Application Note AN7_External_BIOS_Update.pdf on the congatec website at http://www.congatec.com.

9.2 Updating the BIOS

BIOS updates are often used by OEMs to correct platform issues discovered after the board has been shipped or when new features are added to the BIOS.

For more information about “Updating the BIOS” refer to the user’s guide for the congatec System Utility, which is called CGUTLm1x.pdf and can be found on the congatec AG website at www.congatec.com.
