This credit card sized COM Express® mini module is compatible to COM Express® pin-out Type 1. On 55 mm x 84 mm footprint COMe-mSP1 is a perfect fit for the next generation of low power, ultra-mobile applications that require energy saving x86 processor performance, high-end graphics, PCI Express and Serial ATA combined with longer battery life. These include handheld devices for medical or multi-media applications, small mobile data systems and a host of new applications that have not previously been possible due to size or power consumption limitations.
The Kontron COM Express® mini COM, COMe-mSP1, is based on the highly-efficient Intel® Atom™ Z5xx processor series and Intel® System Controller Hub single chip that combines the memory controller, graphic engine and I/O in a single, space saving chipset design. With only one tenth of the Thermal Design Power and one seventh the size of ULV processors at an identical performance, the COMe-mSP1 COM offers an unprecedented power consumption / performance ratio for x86-based ultra-mobile designs.
The COMe-mSP1 with Flash and memory on-board support 1 PCI Express x1 (opt. 2 x1 if no onboard LAN), Serial ATA, High Definition Audio, LVDS and optional SDVO. 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet is designed in onboard for high connectivity and 8x USB provides fast and sufficient interfaces for external peripherals.
All above mentioned requirements are supported by COM Express® mini - small power - low size - high 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), formerly known
as ETXexpress®
» COMe-cXX# modules are Kontron's COM Express® modules in compact form factor (95mm x 95mm), formerly known
as microETXexpress®
» COMe-mXX# modules are Kontron's COM Express® modules in mini form factor (55mm x 84mm), formerly known as
nanoETXexpress
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.

2.4 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-mSP1. Additional references are are available from your Kontron Support or from PICMG®:
» The COM Express® Specification defines the COM Express® module form factor, pin-out, and signals. This document
is available from the PIGMG 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 that 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 size and pin-out. This flexibility can differentiate products at various price/performance points, or to design future proof systems that have a built-in upgrade path. The modularity of a COM Express® solution also ensures against obsolescence as 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 custom, computer-board design but delivers better obsolescence protection, greatly reduced engineering effort, and faster time to market.

3.8 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 methode used is “Telcordia 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): 209423 @ 40°C
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 for 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.

3.10 Thermal Management

A heatspreader plate assembly is available from Kontron Europe GmbH for the COMe-mSP1. 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 other cooling device.
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 of 60° C or less.
The aluminum slugs and thermal pads on the underside of the heatspreader assembly implement thermal interfaces between the heatspreader plate and the major heat-generating components on the COMe-mSP1. 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. Please see the COM Express® Design Guide for further information on thermal management.

4.2 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:

4.6 JIDA16 and JIDA32

JIDA16 (JUMPtec® Intelligent Device Architecture) is a BIOS interface which allows programs running in Real Mode operating systems (i.e. MS DOS) to call certain functions implemented in the BIOS. These functions can be used to get module information, make settings and access the I2C Bus and the Watchdog unit. JIDA16 functions are INT 15h BIOS calls which are only available in 16 Bit Real Mode operating systems.
For 32bit operating systems (i.e. WindowsXP, Windows 7, Windows CE, VxWorks, Linux) a different JIDA implementation called JIDA32 is implemented. The same common driver for all JIDA32 capable modules talks to the JIDA32 part in the BIOS, which is hardware dependent to interact with the hardware.
Please refer to EMD Customer Section for detailed documentation, JIDA utilities and Libraries for DOS, Windows, Linux, VxWorks or QNX.

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.

The GMA500 graphics engine supports a variety of LCD panels with single clock, color depths of 18/24 bit and resolutions up to WXGA (1366×768). The maximum supported pixelclock of the system controller hub is 112 MHz.
Hardware video decode acceleration relieves the decode burden from the processor and reduces the power consumption of the system. Full hardware acceleration of H.264, MPEG2, VC1 and WMV9 eliminates the need of a software codec and offloads the CPU.
The graphic adapter uses the onboard RAM as graphic memory. The preallocated memory is defined through bios settings.
Possible settings are:
» 1MB
» 4MB
» 8MB
The total amount of graphics memory in the operating system depends on the size of system memory and the used driver settings. The graphics media accelerator driver GMA uses DVMT to manage allocating of system memory according to the needs of running applications. The Intel® Embedded Graphics Driver IEGD allocates the maximum of graphics memory depending on system memory and driver settings.
Physical Memory Preallocated Memory in BIOS Setup Maximum Graphics Memor y with GMA Driver Maximum Graphics Memory with IEGD
512MB 1MB 127MB 352MB
512MB 4MB 126MB 352MB
512MB 8MB 125MB 352MB
1024MB 1MB 255MB 352MB
1024MB 4MB 254MB 352MB
1024MB 8MB 253MB 352MB
For memory allocation according to the table above BIOS revision NOW1R112 or newer is recommended
When using 1MB Preallocated Memory an Operating Systems without active GMA or IEGD may have problems to display a screen (e.g. during WinXP installation).

COMe-mSP1 / Features and Interfaces

4.19 LPC Bus

The Low Pin Count Interface signals are connected to the LPC Bus bridge, which is located in the Intel® US15W system controller hub. 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 ETXexpress® Specification. Implementation information is provided in the COM Express® Design Guide by PICMG. Refer to the documentation for additional information.
The LPC bus does not support DMA (Direct Memory Access). This leads to limitations for ISA bus and SIO (standard I/O´s like Floppy or LPT interfaces) implementations. When more than one device is connected to the LPC bus a clock buffer is required!
Due to Power management of the LPC Bus, clock buffers that require synchronization should be used with great care and may prevent the board from booting up.

Active LPC Clock frequency

» with Z530 CPU: 33MHz
» with Z510 CPU: 25MHz

Standard Clock Buffer

When using a standard clock buffer on the baseboard please be aware that the generated delay has to be considered for the length matching of the layout.

Clock Buffer Reference Schematic

The implementation of a clock buffer can be realized as shown in the evaluation schematic below:
47
COMe-mSP1 / Features and Interfaces

Zero Delay Clock Buffer

Do not use the reference schematic in the COM Express Design Guide. Either use another Clock Buffer solution without a long start up process or use series resistors to double the LPC clock line. Follow the design recommendations in the COM Express Design Guide by PICMG.

6 BIOS Operation

The module is equipped with AMI® CORE8 BIOS, which is located in an onboard SPI/LPC flash memory. You can update the BIOS using a Flash utility.

6.1 Determining the BIOS Version

To determine the AMI® BIOS version, immediately press the Pause key on your keyboard as soon as you see the following text display in the upper left corner of your screen:
» AMIBIOS © 2006 American Megatrends, Inc.
» BIOS Date: mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss Ver: xx.xx.xx
» Kontron® BIOS Version <NOW1RXXX
» Copyright 2002-2011 Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH

6.2 BIOS Update

Kontron provides continous 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!

COMe-mSP1 / BIOS Operation
Passive Cooling
The ACPI OS assesses the optimum CPU performance change necessary to lower the temperature using the following equation
?P[%] = TC1(Tn-Tn-1) + TC2(Tn-Tt)
?P is the performance delta, Tt is the target temperature = passive cooling trip point. The two coeff icients TC1 and TC2 and the sampling period TSP are hardware dependent constants the end user must supply. It’s up to the end user to set the cooling preference of the system by setting the appropriate trip points in the BIOS setup.
