2 Introduction

2.1 Product Description

The first credit card sized (55mm x 84 mm) COM Express® mini COM based on Intel® 32nm Dual Core technology. Three performance versions are availabe from 2x 1.6 GHz up to 2x 1.86 GHz. With onboard memory and optional flash as well as divesified graphics interfaces, the Kontron COMe-mCT10 series is optimized for the Industrial Automation, Infotainment and Medical markets to deliver outstanding graphics performance.

2.2 Naming clarification

COM Express® defines a Computer-On-Module, or COM, with all components necessary for a bootable host computer, packaged as a super component.
» COMe-bXX# modules are Kontron's COM Express® modules in basic form factor (125mm x 95mm)
» COMe-cXX# modules are Kontron's COM Express® modules in compact form factor (95mm x 95mm)
» COMe-mXX# modules are Kontron's COM Express® modules in mini form factor (55mm x 84mm)
The product names for Kontron COM Express® Computer-on-Modules consist of a short form of the industry standard (COMe-), the form factor (b=basic, c=compact, m=mini), the capital letters for the CPU and Chipset Codenames (XX) and the pin-out type (#) followed by the CPU Name.

2.3 Understanding COM Express® Functionality

All Kontron COM Express® basic and compact modules contain two 220pin connectors; each of it has two rows called Row A & B on primary connector and Row C & D on secondary connector. COM Express® Computer-on-modules feature the following maximum amount of interfaces according to the PICMG module Pin-out type:

COMe-mCT10 / Introduction

2.4 COM Express® Documentation

This product manual serves as one of three principal references for a COM Express® design. It documents the specifications and features of COMe-mCT10. Additional references are available at your Kontron Support or at PICMG®:
» The COM Express® Specification defines the COM Express® module form factor, pin-out, and signals. This document
is available at the PICMG® website by filling out the order form.
» The COM Express® Design Guide by PICMG® serves as a general guide for baseboard design, with a focus on
maximum flexibility to accommodate a wide range of COM Express® modules.
Some of the information contained within this product manual applies only to certain product revisions (CE: xxx). If certain information applies to specific product revisions (CE: xxx) it will be stated. Please check the product revision of your module to see if this information is applicable.

2.5 COM Express® Benefits

COM Express® modules are very compact, highly integrated computers. All Kontron COM Express® modules feature a standardized form factor and a standardized connector layout which carry a specified set of signals. Each COM is based on the COM Express® specification. This standardization allows designers to create a single-system baseboard that can accept present and future COM Express® modules.
The baseboard designer can optimize exactly how each of these functions implements physically. Designers can place connectors precisely where needed for the application on a baseboard designed to optimally fit a system’s packaging.
A single baseboard design can use a range of COM Express® modules with different sizes and pin-outs. This flexibility can differentiate products at various price/performance points, or when designing future proof systems that have a built-in upgrade path. The modularity of a COM Express® solution also ensures against obsolescence when computer technology evolves. A properly designed COM Express® baseboard can work with several successive generations of COM Express® modules.
A COM Express® baseboard design has many advantages of a customized computer-board design and, additionally, delivers better obsolescence protection, heavily reduced engineering effort, and faster time to market.

3.6 Power Control

Power Supply

The COMe-mCT10 supports a power input from 4.75 - 14(20)V. The supply voltage is applied through the VCC pins (VCC) of the module connector.

Power Button (PWRBTN#)

The power button (Pin B12) is available through the module connector described in the pinout list. To start the module via Power Button the PWRBTN# signal must be at least 50ms (50ms ≤ t < 4s, typical 400ms) at low level (Power Button Event).
Pressing the power button for at least 4seconds will turn off power to the module (Power Button Override).

Power Good (PWR_OK)

The COMe-mCT10 provides an external input for a power-good signal (Pin B24). The implementation of this subsystem complies with the COM Express® Specification. PWR_OK is internally pulled up to 3.3V and must be high level to power on the module.

Reset Button (SYS_RESET#)

The reset button (Pin B49) is available through the module connector described in the pinout list. The module will stay in reset as long as SYS_RESET# is grounded. If available, the BIOS setting for “Reset Behavior” must be set to “Power Cycle”.
Modules with Intel® Chipset and active Management Engine do not allow to hold the module in Reset out of S0 for a long time. At about 10s holding the reset button the ME will reboot the module automatically

SM-Bus Alert (SMB_ALERT#)

With an external battery manager present and SMB_ALERT# (Pin B15) connected the module always powers on even if BIOS switch “After Power Fail” is set to “Stay Off”.

3.9 MTBF

The following MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) values were calculated using a combination of manufacturer’s test data, if the data was available, and the Telcordia (Bellcore) issue 2 calculation for the remaining parts. The calculation method used is “Telcordia Issue 2 Method 1 Case 3” in a ground benign, controlled environment (GB,GC). This particular method takes into account varying temperature and stress data and the system is assumed to have not been burned in. Other environmental stresses (extreme altitude, vibration, salt water exposure, etc) lower MTBF values.
System MTBF (hours): 209259 @ 40°C (w/PCB)
Fans usually shipped with Kontron Europe GmbH products have 50,000-hour typical operating life. The above estimates assume no fan, but a passive heat sinking arrangement Estimated RTC battery life (as opposed to battery failures) is not accounted for in the above figures and need to be considered separately. Battery life depends on both temperature and operating conditions. When the Kontron unit has external power; the only battery drain is from leakage paths.

COMe-mCT10 / Product Specification

3.11 Thermal Management, Heatspreader and Cooling Solutions

A heatspreader plate assembly is available from Kontron Europe GmbH for the COMe-mCT10. The heatspreader plate on top of this assembly is NOT a heat sink. It works as a COM Express®-standard thermal interface to use with a heat sink or external cooling devices.
External cooling must be provided to maintain the heatspreader plate at proper operating temperatures. Under worst­case conditions, the cooling mechanism must maintain an ambient air and heatspreader plate temperature on any spot of the heatspreader's surface according the module specifications:
» 60°C for commercial grade modules
» 75°C for extended temperature grade modules (E1)
» 85°C for industrial temperature grade modules (E2/XT)
The aluminum slugs and thermal pads or the heat-pipe on the underside of the heatspreader assembly implement thermal interfaces between the heatspreader plate and the major heat-generating components on the COMe-mCT10. About 80 percent of the power dissipated within the module is conducted to the heatspreader plate and can be removed by the cooling solution.
You can use many thermal-management solutions with the heatspreader plates, including active and passive approaches. The optimum cooling solution varies, depending on the COM Express® application and environmental conditions. Active or passive cooling solutions provided from Kontron Europe GmbH for the COMe-mCT10 are usually designed to cover the power and thermal dissipation for a commercial grade temperature range used in a housing with proper air flow.

4.2 S5 Eco Mode

Kontron’s new high-efficient power-off state S5 Eco enables lowest power-consumption in soft-off state – less than 1 mA compared to the regular S5 state this means a reduction by at least factor 200!
In the “normal” S5 mode the board is supplied by 5V_Stb and needs usually up to 300mA just to stay off. This mode allows to be switched on by power button, RTC event and WakeOnLan, even when it is not necessary. The new S5 Eco mode reduces the current enormous.
The S5 Eco Mode can be enabled in BIOS Setup, when the BIOS supports this feature.
Following prerequisites and consequences occur when S5 Eco Mode is enabled
» The power button must be pressed at least for 200ms to switch on.
» Wake via Power button only.
» “Power On After Power Fail”/“State after G3”: only “stay off” is possible

COMe-mCT10 / Features and Interfaces

4.3 LPC

The Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface signals are connected to the LPC Bus bridge located in the CPU or chipset. The LPC low speed interface can be used for peripheral circuits such as an external Super I/O Controller, which typically combines legacy-device support into a single IC. The implementation of this subsystem complies with the COM Express® Specification. Implementation information is provided in the COM Express® Design Guide maintained by PICMG. Please refer to the official PICMG documentation for additional information.
The LPC bus does not support DMA (Direct Memory Access) and a clock buffer is required when more than one device is used on LPC. This leads to limitations for ISA bus and SIO (standard I/O´s like Floppy or LPT interfaces) implementations.
All Kontron COM Express® Computer-on-Modules imply BIOS support for following external baseboard LPC Super I/O controller features for the Winbond/Nuvoton 5V 83627HF/G and 3.3V 83627DHG-P:
83627HF/G Phoenix BIOS AMI CORE8 AMI / Phoenix EFI
PS/2 YES YES YES
COM1/COM2 YES YES YES
LPT YES YES YES
HWM YES YES NO
Floppy NO NO NO
GPIO NO NO NO
83627DHG-P Phoenix BIOS AMI CORE8 AMI / Phoenix EFI
PS/2 YES YES YES
COM1/COM2 YES YES YES
LPT YES YES YES
HWM NO NO NO
Floppy NO NO NO
GPIO NO NO NO
Features marked as not supported do not exclude OS support (e.g. HWM can be accessed via SMB). For any other LPC Super I/O additional BIOS implementations are necessary. Please contact your local sales or support for further details.

COMe-mCT10 / Features and Interfaces

4.4 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)

The Serial Peripheral Interface Bus or SPI bus is a synchronous serial data link standard named by Motorola that operates in full duplex mode. Devices communicate in master/slave mode where the master device initiates the data frame. Multiple slave devices are allowed with individual slave select (chip select) lines. Sometimes SPI is called a “four wire” serial bus, contrasting with three, two, and one wire serial buses.
The SPI interface can only be used with a SPI flash device to boot from external BIOS on the baseboard.

4.5 SPI boot

The COMe-mCT10 supports boot from an external SPI Flash. It can be configured by pin A34 (BIOS_DIS#0) and pin B88 (BIOS_DIS1#) in following configuration:
BIOS_DIS0# BIOS_DIS1# Function
open open Boot on-module BIOS
GND open Boot baseboard LPC FWH
open GND Baseboard SPI = Boot Device 1, on-module SPI = Boot Device 2
GND GND Baseboard SPI = Boot Device 2, on-module SPI = Boot Device 1
By default only SPI Boot Device 1 is used in configuration 3 & 4. Both SPI Boot Devices are used by splitting the BIOS with modified descriptor table in customized versions only

Using an external SPI flash

To program an external SPI flash follow these steps:
» Connect a SPI flash with correct size (similar to BIOS ROM file size) to the module SPI interface
» Open pin A34 and B88 to boot from the module BIOS
» Boot the module to DOS/EFI-Shell with access to the BIOS image and Firmware Update Utility provided on EMD
Customer Section
» Connect pin B88 (BIOS_DIS1#) to ground to enable the external SPI flash
» Execute Flash.bat/Flash.efi to program the complete BIOS image to the external SPI flash
» reboot
Your module will now boot from the external SPI flash when BIOS_DIS1# is grounded.

External SPI flash on Modules with Intel® ME

If booting from the external (baseboard mounted) SPI flash then exchanging the COM Express® module for another one of the same type will cause the Intel® Management Engine to fail during next start. This is by design of the ME because it bounds itself to the very module it has been flashed to. In the case of an external SPI flash this is the module present at flash time.
To avoid this issue please make sure to conduct a complete flash of the external SPI flash device after changing the COMexpress module for another one. If disconnecting and reconnecting the same module again this step is not necessary.

4.7 UART

The COMe-mCT10 supports up to two Serial RX/TX only Ports defined in COM Express® specification on Pins A98/A99 for UART0 and Pins A101/A102 for UART1. The implementation of the UART is compatible to 16450 and is supported by default from most operating systems. Resources are subordinated to other UARTS e.g. from external LPC Super I/O.
UART features:
» 450 to 115.2k Baud (except 56000)
» 5, 6, 7 or 8bit characters
» 1 or 2 Stop bit generation
» Even, odd or no-parity generation/detection
» Complete status reporting capabilities
» Line break generation and detection
» Full prioritized interrupt system control
» No FIFO
» One additional shift register for transmit and one for receive
» No Flow Control
» No FCR register due to unavailability of FIFO
» MCR and MSR registers only implemented in loopback mode for compatibility with existing drivers and APIs
» Initialized per default to COM3 3F8h/IRQ4 and COM4 2F8/IRQ3 without external SIO
» Initialized per default to COM3 3E8h/IRQ5 and COM4 2E8/IRQ10 with external SIO present
The UART clock is generated by the 33MHz LPC clock which results in an accuracy of 0.5% on all UART timings
- Due to the protection circuitry required according COM Express® specification the transfer speed can only be guaranteed for 9600 Baud. Please contact your local sales or support for customized versions without protection circuitry
- Legacy console redirection via onboard serial ports may be restricted in terms of serial input stream. Since they're only emulating a 16450 device (w/o FIFO) an input stream generated by a program may lose characters. Inputs from a keyboard via terminal program will be safe.

4.10 Dual Staged Watchdog Timer

Basics

A watchdog timer (or computer operating properly (COP) timer) is a computer hardware or software timer that triggers a system reset or other corrective action if the main program, due to some fault condition, such as a hang, neglects to regularly service the watchdog (writing a “service pulse” to it, also referred to as “kicking the dog”, “petting the dog”, “feeding the watchdog” or “triggering the watchdog”). The intention is to bring the system back from the nonresponsive state into normal operation.
The COMe-mCT10 offers a watchdog which works with two stages that can be programmed independently and used one by one.

Time-out events

Reset
A reset will restart the module and starts POST and operating system new.
NMI
A non-maskable interrupt (NMI) is a computer processor interrupt that cannot be ignored by st andard interrupt masking techniques in the system. It is typically used to signal attention for non-recoverable hardware errors.
SCI
A system control interrupt (SCI) is a OS-visible interrupt to be handled by the OS using AML code
Delay
Might be necessary when an operating system must be started and the time for the first trigger pulse must extended. (Only available in the f irst stage)
WDT Signal only

4.11 Intel® Fast Flash Standby™ / Rapid Start Technology™

The target of Intel® Fast Flash Standby™ (iFFS) (also known as Intel® Rapid Start Technology™ iRST) is to get a wake-up time from S4 compareable to S3. Normally S4 is caused by OS which stores it's information to the hard disk and does then a normal shutdown. S4 resume takes quite long as the system does a normal BIOS POST and OS restores it's information from the hard disk.
IFFS does it in a different way. The Operating System initiates an S3 and stores it's information in memory. After that BIOS copies this OS information from DRAM to SSD and does a sleep state similar to S4 with nearly zero power. If system is resumed by power button, BIOS restores memory content from SSD to the DRAM and does an S3 resume which is much faster.
Requirements
» SATA Solid State Disk in AHCI mode
» Free disk space on the SSD with at least the DRAM size
» Operating System with disk partition tool to allocate the hibernation partition (e.g. Windows 7/8)
» BIOS supporting iFFS feature
How to setup once the operating system is installed
» Prepare a free disk space on your onboard or external SSD with at least the size of DRAM
» Open cmd.exe in Administrator Mode and type diskpart.exe to open the Windows disk partition tool
» DISKPART> list disk
» DISKPART> select disk X (X is disk number where you want to create the store partition. Refer to results from “list
disk” for exact disk number)
» DISKPART> create partition primary
» DISKPART> detail disk
» DISKPART> select Volume X (X is Volume of your store partition. Refer to results from “detail disk” for exact volume
number)
» DISKPART> set id=84 override (ID 84 marks the partition as hibernate partition)
» DISKPART> exit
» Now there should be a Hibernate Partition visible in your disk management
» Reboot and enable iFFS in BIOS
Usage
» Activate Lid / move system to Sleep/Standby ( S3)
» After configured period of time in Setup the system powers on automatically and information in DRAM moves to
non-volatile memory (Default is 'immediately')
» System switches off again to iFFS ( comparable to S4, Power Supply can now be disconnected)
» When System is powered on, information moved back to DRAM (No display output during copy process)
» System resumes same as Sleep/Standby S3
Note
» Depending on the platform iFFS enabled may disable the hibernate function in Windows automatically

4.12 Speedstep Technology

The Intel® processors offer the Intel® Enhanced SpeedStep™ technology that automatically switches between maximum performance mode and battery-optimized mode, depending on the needs of the application being run. It enables you to adapt high performance computing on your applications. When powered by a battery or running in idle mode, the processor drops to lower frequencies (by changing the CPU ratios) and voltage, conserving battery life while maintaining a high level of performance. The frequency is set back automatically to the high frequency, allowing you to customize performance.
In order to use the Intel® Enhanced SpeedStep™ technology the operating system must support SpeedStep™ technology.
By deactivating the SpeedStep feature in the BIOS, manual control/modification of CPU performance is possible. Setup the CPU Performance State in the BIOS Setup or use 3rd party software to control CPU Performance States.

4.13 C-States

New generation platforms include power saving features like SuperLFM, EIST (P-States) or C-States in O/S idle mode.
Activated C-States are able to dramatically decrease power consumption in idle mode by reducing the Core Voltage or switching of parts of the CPU Core, the Core Clocks or the CPU Cache.
Following C-States are defined:
C-State Description Function
C0 Operating CPU fully turned on
C1 Halt State Stops CPU main internal clocks via sof tware
C1E Enhanced Halt Similar to C1, additionally reduces CPU voltage
C2 Stop Grant Stops CPU internal and external clocks via hardware
C2E Extended Stop Grant Similar to C2, additionally reduces CPU voltage
C3 Deep Sleep Stops all CPU internal and external clocks
C3E Extended Stop Grant Similar to C3, additionally reduces CPU voltage
C4 Deeper Sleep Reduces CPU voltage
C4E Enhanced Deeper Sleep Reduces CPU voltage even more and turns off the memory cache
C6 Deep Power Down Reduces the CPU internal voltage to any value, including 0V
C7 Deep Power Down Similar to C6, additionally LLC (LastLevelCache) is switched of f
C-States are usually enabled by default for low power consumption, but active C-States my influence performance sensitive applications or real-time systems.
» Active C6-State may influence data transfer on external Serial Ports
» Active C7-State may cause lower CPU and Graphics performance
It's recommended to disable C-States / Enhanced C-States in BIOS Setup if any problems occur.

4.14 Hyper Threading

Hyper Threading (officially termed Hyper Threading Technology or HTT) is an Intel®-proprietary technology used to improve parallelization of computations performed on PC´s. Hyper-Threading works by duplicating certain sections of the processor—those that store the architectural state but not duplicating the main execution resources. This allows a Hyper­Threading equipped processor to pretend to be two “logical” processors to the host operating system, allowing the operating system to schedule two threads or processes simultaneously. Hyper Threading Technology support always relies on the Operating System.

7 BIOS Operation

The module is equipped with AMI® Aptio, which is located in an onboard SPI serial flash memory.

7.1 Determining the BIOS Version

The AMI® Aptio version is displayed in the main menu of the setup utility.
» BIOS Vendor: American Megatrends
» Core Version: x.x.x.x
» BIOS Date: mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss
» BIOS Version: NUP1RXXX

7.2 BIOS Update

Kontron provides continuous BIOS updates for Computer-on-Modules. The updates are provided for download on
http://emdcustomersection.kontron.com with a detailed change description within the according Product Change
Notification (PCN). Please register for EMD Customer Section to get access to BIOS downloads and PCN service.
Modules with BIOS Region/Setup only inside the flash can be updated with AFU utilities (usually 1-3MB BIOS binary file size) directly. Modules with Intel® Management Engine, Ethernet, Flash Descriptor and other options additionally to the BIOS Region (usually 4-8MB BIOS binary file size) requires a different update process with Intel Flash Utility FPT and a wrapper to backup and restore configurations and the MAC address. Therefore it is strongly recommended to use the batch file inside the BIOS download package available on EMD Customer Section.
» Boot the module to DOS/EFI Shell with access to the BIOS image and Firmware Update Utility provided on EMD
Customer Section
» Execute Flash.bat in DOS or Flash.nsh in EFI Shell
Any modification of the update process may damage your module!
53
COMe-mCT10 / BIOS Operation

Backup the BIOS / Create a BIOS with custom defaults:

» Change your BIOS settings according your needs
» Save and Exit Setup with option “Save as User Defaults”. Your customized settings are now stored inside the flash in
a second area additional to the manufacturer defaults
» Boot the module to DOS or EFI Shell with access to the update utilities
» Extract the BIOS region including your custom defaults with afuefix64.efi CBIOS.bin /O in EFI Shell or afudos.exe
CBIOS.rom /O in DOS
Now you can clone the BIOS with your customized default settings to other modules or external SPI flashes with above mention AFU utilites. On modules with Management Engine and Ethernet inside the Flash the same BIOS core version should already be programmed on the target.
AMI APTIO update utilities for DOS, EFI Shell and Windows are available for free at AMI.com:

None Hardware RTS/CTS
Flow control can prevent data loss from buffer overflow. When sending data, if the receiving buffers are full, a 'stop' signal can be sent to stop the data f low. Once the buffers are empty, a 'star t' signal can be sent to re­start the flow. Hardware flow control uses two wires to send start/stop signals
