1 Introduction

1.1 Mini-ITX Concept

The Mini-ITX form factor provides engineers 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-IA4

The conga-IA4 is a Single Board Computer designed based on the Thin Mini-ITX speciﬁcation. The conga-IA4 SBC features the Intel 4th generation Celeron/Pentium processors. With maximum 6W 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 1600 MT/s for a maximum system memory capacity of 16 GB, multiple I/O interfaces, up to three independent displays and various congatec embedded features.

With smaller board size and lower height keep-out zones, the conga-IA4 SBC provides manufacturers and enthusiasts with the opportunity to design compact systems for space restricted areas. With appropriate I/O shield, the same conga-IA4 SBC can be used in either a Thin Mini-ITX or a Mini-ITX design.

The various features and capabilities offered by the conga-IA4 makes it ideal for the design of compact, energy efﬁcient, performance-oriented embedded systems.

Note

The conga-IA4 supports only DDR3L memory modules. The memory modules in the sockets must be symmetrical - that is, same raw cards and same memory sizes. Therefore, do not use different memory modules in the memory sockets. Doing so may cause system instability or memory errors. Also make sure the memory modules support the data transfer rate of the particular variant.

In addition, when using one memory socket, insert the memory module only in the ﬁrst memory slot on the conga-IA4 (top side). If the ﬁrst memory slot is empty, the SoC on the conga-IA4 ignores the second memory socket (bottom side). When this happens, the conga-IA4 does not start. See the Intel's Braswell datasheet for more information.

4 Cooling Solution

The conga-IA4 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-IA4 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-IA4 is maintained.

congatec AG offers two cooling possibilities for the conga-IA4:

• A congatec passive cooling solution (CSP) in combination with the conga-IA4 retention frame. The CSP complies with 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-IA4 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” for the part numbers of the cooling accessories.

Passive Cooling Solution

Retention Frame

Page 21

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's mounting holes.

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

• Insert assembling screws.

• Hold the CSP 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 CSP 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

The congatec cooling solutions are designed for commercial temperature range only (0° to 60°C). Therefore, do not use the congatec CSP in temperatures above 60°C or below 0°C. If an end user’s system operates above 60°C or below 0°C, or is assembled with a non-congatec cooling solution, then the end user must use or design an optimized thermal solution that meets the needs of their application.

For adequate heat dissipation, follow the assembly instruction above. Apply thread-locking ﬂuid on the screws if the CSP is used in a high shock and/or vibration environment.

For applications that require vertically-mounted CSP, use only cooling solution that secure the thermal stacks with ﬁxing post. Without the ﬁxing post feature, the thermal stacks may move.

Also, do not exceed the maximum torque speciﬁcation for the cooling solution screws. Doing so may damage the SBC.

Page 22

4.2 CSP Dimensions

Note

All measurements are in millimeters. Torque speciﬁcation for cooling solution screws is 0.3 Nm. Mechanical system assembly mounting shall follow the valid DIN/IS0 speciﬁcations.

Connector Type

X56: 2.54mm, 2 pin Molex connector.

6.3 Trusted Platform Module – TPM (Optional)

The conga-IA4 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.

Note

The TPM feature is not available by default. You need a customized variant for TPM support.

6.4 congatec Board Controller (cBC)

The conga-IA4 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-IA4 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

Case Open Intrusion - Connector X56

Page 51

revolution in order to produce an accurate reading. For this reason, a two pulse per revolution fan or similar hardware solution is recommended.

6.4.2 Power Loss Control

The cBC has full control of the power-up of the SBC, therefore can be used to specify the behavior of the system after an AC power loss condition. Supported modes are “Always On”, “Remain Off” and “Last State”.

6.4.3 Board Information

The cBC provides a rich data-set of manufacturing and board information such as serial number, EAN number, hardware and ﬁrmware revisions, and so on. It also keeps track of dynamically changing data like runtime meter and boot counter.

6.4.4 GPIOs

The conga-IA4 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.

6.5 OEM BIOS Customization

The conga-IA4 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:

6.5.1 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.

Page 52

6.5.2 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.

6.5.3 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.

6.5.4 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.

6.5.5 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.

6.6 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

Page 53

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 addition to the ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery mentioned above, the latest versions of the conga-IA4 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

6.7 API Support (CGOS)

congatec provides an API that allows application software developers to easily integrate the BIOS customization features mentioned above 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 .

6.8 Thermal/Voltage Monitoring

The conga-IA4 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).

Page 54

6.9 Beeper

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

6.10 External System Wake Event

The conga-IA4 supports LAN, USB, PCIe and PWRBTN driven wake up events.

6.11 Feature Connector

The conga-IA4 provides an internal 50 pol. 2mm pin header as feature connector. The pinout is described below:

Note

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.

Page 94

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.

The BIOS setup menu shows the features and options supported in the congatec BIOS. To access and navigate the BIOS setup menu, press the <DEL> or <F2> key during POST.

9.2 BIOS Versions

The BIOS displays the BIOS project name and the revision code during POST, and on the main setup screen. The initial production BIOS for conga-IA4 is identiﬁed as IA40R1xx where:

• R is the identiﬁer for a BIOS ROM ﬁle

• 1 is the feature number

• xx is the major and minor revision number.

The IA40 BIOS binary size is 8 MB.

9.3 Updating the BIOS

OEMs often use BIOS updates to correct platform issues discovered after the board has been shipped or when new features are added to the BIOS. The conga-IA4 uses a congatec/AMI AptioEFI ﬁrmware, which is stored in an onboard ﬂash ROM chip and can be updated using the congatec System Utility. The utility has ﬁve versions—UEFI shell, DOS based command line, Win32 command line, Win32 GUI, and Linux version.

For more information about “Updating the BIOS” refer to the user’s guide for the congatec System Utility “CGUTLm1x.pdf” on the congatec website at www.congatec.com.
