3 congatec Operating System API CGOS API Easily programmable interface used to access the congatec Embedded Board features. The API is implemented as a generic and module independent driver. All hardware dependent code is in the. The API is available for all common OSes like Win32, WinCE, Linux, VxWorks, QNX CGOS API helps you to reduce Operating System Application Software the development time. Guarantees software compatibility CGOS API when a module upgrade is necessary. Free download from embedde d embedde d embedde d Board Board Board conga-x915 future design conga-x852 Page 3

5 congatec Board Multi-Stage Runtime Watchdog Allows flexible monitoring of the application software and OEM hardware. Can be be configured as One-Time-Trigger, Single or Repeated Event. 4 Events Supported: Watchdog Events NMI Reset Power B ACPI E NMI Routin e Hardw are Reset Switch On/Off OS Shutd own or Reset Interrupt (NMI) Hardware reset Power button event ACPI event Can be triggered by software and/or external OEM hardware. Fully supported by the CGOS API. Page 5 No Trigger ACPI Event No Trigger Hardw are Reset Multistage

6 congatec Board Fast Mode I2C Bus Due to the simplicity of the protocol and the high availability of devices, the I²C Bus is a frequently used bus interface in embedded applications. congatec understands this and therefore has chosen to offer a 400kHz multi-master I²C Bus complaint to specification 1.0. It is fully supported by the CGOS API. μcontroll er A Static RAM / Flash LCD driver SDA SCL I2C ADC Page 6 μcontroll er B

7 congatec Board POST Watchdog Allows monitoring of the POST. Single Event Mode. POST Watchdog Reset Supported Event: Hardware Reset. Timeouts from 256 milliseconds to over 4.5 hours. Starts at system power-up or system reset. Can be enabled in the Setup. Page 7 Hardware Reset

8 Embedded Advanced Features (source code in house) is core know-how of congatec congatec owns source code designs tools for custom via free of charge tools (cgeb, cgutil,...) Custom made extensions, e.g. Battery-less operation EPI Embedded Panel Interface standard incorporated: Automatic panel detection ACPI battery management Many others Page 8

9 Extensions CMOS Data Backup A copy of the CMOS settings is stored in flash memory. If a backup battery is present it will prevent systems from not booting when the backup battery has failed. Flash Page 9 ROM Defaults Allows for battery-less applications.

10 Embedded Extensions OEM CMOS Default Settings Most embedded module customers need to have their own CMOS ROM default settings. The congatec embedded allows the customer to store their own defaults in flash memory. This helps to reduce the need for customized versions. Both, the OEM and ROM default image, are stored in Flash Page 10 OEM Defaults ROM Defaults the System flash part. OEM Defaults have higher priority than ROM Defaults. In case OEM Defaults are present, the always loads the OEM image, not the ROM default image. In case no OEM Defaults are present, the orignial ROM defaults are loaded by the.

11 Extension OEM Code Allows customers to integrate their own code into the POST process. The congatec embedded calls OEM code at different times during POST. With the OEM support, customers can initialize base board hardware components and add boot loaders. Page 11

12 Embedded Extensions Display integration There are 2 ways to set the right display timing: Flat Panel EEPROM (LCD or Baseboard) 1. Select a fix timing (e.g. SVGA) in the setup. + no EEPROM required - no LCD auto-detection 2. Provide EDID Data in the panel or on the baseboard. + LCD auto-detection + user can adjust timing EDID File Backlight & Power Sequencing Video congatec Board I2C Interface EDID = Extended Display Identification Data Flat Panel Configuration Video EDID Wrapper COM Embedded Panel Data Area Autodetect VGA Panel Data SVGA Panel Data XGA Panel Data SXGA Panel Data...

13 Features: Battery Management ACPI Battery Management The congatec ACPI and Board are designed to support a CMB (Control Method Battery) sub-system. By following our CMB design guide, customers can implement their own battery solutions or buy a fully tested customized battery system from a congatec partner. In combination with an ACPI OS most of the battery functionality associated with portable computers is now supported on the congatec embedded platform. Page 13
