SEMA Watchdog Timer Watchdog Function A watchdog timer (WDT) is a hardware timer that automatically generates a system reset if a software application program neglects to periodically reset it.

6 SEMA Watchdog Timer Watchdog Function A watchdog timer (WDT) is a hardware timer that automatically generates a system reset if a software application program neglects to periodically reset it. It is often used to automatically reset an embedded device that hangs because of a software or hardware fault. SEMA Board ler Watchdog Module Info & Stats I2C ler Operation Failure Forensics Flash Storage Flat Panel After System start the Watchdog can be automatically enabled with a startup value from Flash memory. The timeout value is given in seconds and has a 16-bit (two byte wide) size. So the Timeout of the Watchdog can be set to seconds. 0 disables the Watchdog Fail Safe Dual BIOS Temperature Fan Power

Uptime since last boot, hrs /min/ sec Number of power cycles. Boot cycles, HW / SW-Reset and Power-ups. Last Boot reason

8 SEMA I 2 C ler Free High Speed I2C In addition to the SMbussupplied by the main chipset of the module up to 2 free to use high speed I2C busses are supported with the SEMA board controller. The I2C supports 100 or 400 khz operation. SEMA Board ler Watchdog Module Info & Stats I2C I 2 C ler The SEMA Board controller and I2C bus are both powered by the standby-power domain allowing operation during power down and suspend states.

SEMA Failure Forensics Status Indicator LED The BC status LED can signal system state changes and power-up failures. A blink code will be displayed in case of a failure.

9 SEMA Failure Forensics Status Indicator LED The BC status LED can signal system state changes and power-up failures. A blink code will be displayed in case of a failure. System state changes: HW-Reset, SW-Reset, Power-Up, Power-Down, Reset-Button and Power Button activity. Power-up failures : the LED flashing code can signal a corrupted BIOS, failures at the onboard power supply or the module hanging while waiting for a Power OK due to problem with supply power or power sequence. Last State Forensic information available after system or module failures include Min-/Max-temperature of CPU and system, and cause of the last system restart event. All which can be used to analyze the system or module failure.

10 SEMA Flash Storage / Secure Area User Data The BC provides 1024 bytes for normal end user data. This memory areas is independent from the BIOS and not cleared or restored during BIOS updates, which makes it perfect to store serial numbers, keys, configuration data and other sensitive or board specific information. Secure Area The SECURE area is 128 bytes in size and used to store critical data such as secure key codes. It can be protected through a one-time programmable hardware fuse to provide a maximum of security. This area may be compared to similar features such as Trusted Platform Modules (TPM) or SIM cards. Attach a unique key to your system and prevent your data from read or copied without your permission.

11 SEMA Flat Panel Backlight To suppress the BIOS screen appearing on the screen during boot the BC can inhibit the BKL_ENABL signal. It can either release it after POST or inhibit indefinitely after which on OS level an API command can release the signal SEMA Board ler Watchdog Module Info & Stats I2C ler Brightness Settings the PWM source for brightness control can be done in the BIOS. Sources are the - the integrated Graphics Core - the Board ler s own PWM output -a discrete PWM controller on the carrier.

12 SEMA Fail Safe BIOS Dual SPI BIOS Two identical BIOS are located on every board. One active an one continuously standing by. If through accidental corruption of the first BIOS the system becomes unbootable the BMC detects this problem RESETs the system and switches over to the secondary backup BIOS SEMA Board ler Watchdog Failure Forensics Module Info & Stats Flash Storage I2C ler Flat Panel Fully compatibility The failsafe BIOS implementation is fully compatible with the PICMG COM specification that allows an SPI BIOS to be located on the carrier or on a module.

) and can optionally be written to a log file.

13 SEMA Temperature Fan CPU / System Temperatures Monitors temperature sensor readings of CPU and board temperature. Hardware Monitor Logging When the SEMA GUI application is running the CPU and System temperature are queried every second (temperatures, power consumption etc.) and can optionally be written to a log file. The data is written as plain ASCII text in TAB separated columns and therefore can easily be imported into any spreadsheet calculation program or other data processing tools. FAN The BC has its own PWM fan out output can automatically relates measured CPU temperature to the PRM of the Fan just like a normal smart fan controller GPIO Every board comes with a GPIO extender that can be controlled by SEMA SEMA Board ler Watchdog Failure Forensics Fail Safe Dual BIOS Module Info & Stats Flash Storage Temperature Fan I2C ler Flat Panel Power

inputs ECO mode in S5 When powered in ATX mode, standby voltage is consumed during the S5 state.

14 SEMA Power Power The BMC controls the power sequence on the COM module. In cases where the carrier does not comply with the specifications and there are power up problems we can tune the BMC to match the carrier board AT Power Mode detection by monitoring 12V and 5Vsb inputs ECO mode in S5 When powered in ATX mode, standby voltage is consumed during the S5 state. In ECO mode the SEMA BMC can disconnect 5Vsb from the rest of the module to save maximum power Monitor System Voltages Main voltages used on the module are measured and stored in separate registers that can be read out by the end user Power Consumption Measurement The supply current on the 12V power input to the module and thereby the module s power consumption can be measured SEMA Board ler Watchdog Failure Forensics Fail Safe Dual BIOS Module Info & Stats Flash Storage Temperature Fan I2C ler Flat Panel Power
