B50 Reset output from module to Carrier Board. Active low. Issued by module chipset and may result from a low SYS_RESET# input, a low PWR_OK input, a VCC_12V power input that falls below the minimum specification, a watchdog timeout, or may be initiated by the module software.

B24 Power OK from main power supply. A high value indicates that the power is good. This signal can be used to hold off Module startup to allow carrier based FPGAs or other configurable devices time to be programmed.

Indicates imminent suspend operation; used to notify LPC devices.

A15 Indicates system is in Suspend to RAM state. Active-low output. An inverted copy of SUS_S3# on the carrier board (also known as “PS_ON”) may be used to enable the non-standby power on a typical ATX power supply.

SW3: BIOS Select and Mode Configuration Switch

Module has two BIOS chips and BIOS operation can be configured to "PICMG" and "Failsafe" modes using SW3, Pin 2.

Setting the module to PICMG mode will configure the BIOS chips on the module as SPI0 and SPI1. In PICMG mode, a BIOS chip CANNOT be placed in SPI0 on the carrier.

In dual-BIOS Failsafe mode, both BIOS chips on the module are configured as SPI1. Only one of the two is connected to the SPI bus at any given time. In case of BIOS failure of the primary SPI1 BIOS, the system will reboot and switch to the secondary SPI1 BIOS on the module.

In Failsafe mode, it is allowed to also have an SPI0 BIOS on the carrier.

In both modes, strapping can select whether to boot from SPI0 or SPI1 (SW3 Pin 1).

Smart Embedded Management Agent (SEMA)

The onboard microcontroller (BMC) implements power sequencing and Smart Embedded Management Agent (SEMA) functionality. The microcontroller communicates via the System Management Bus with the CPU/chipset. The following functions are implemented:

• Total operating hours counter. Counts the number of hours the module has been run in minutes.

• On-time minutes counter. Counts the seconds since last system start.

• Temperature monitoring of CPU and board temperature. Minimum and maximum temperature values of CPU and board are stored in flash.

• Power cycles counter

• Boot counter. Counts the number of boot attempts.

• Watchdog Timer (Type-II). Set / Reset / Disable Watchdog Timer. Features auto-reload at power-up.

• System Restart Cause. Power loss / BIOS Fail / Watchdog / Internal Reset / External Reset

• Fail-safe BIOS support. In case of a boot failure, hardware signals tells external logic to boot from fail-safe BIOS.

• Flash area. 1kB Flash area for customer data

• 128 Bytes Protected Flash area. Keys, IDs, etc. can be stored in a write- and clear-protectable region.

• Board Identify. Vendor / Board / Serial number / Production Date

• Main-current & voltage. Monitors drawn current and main voltages

For a detailed description of SEMA features and functionality, please refer to SEMA Technical Manual and SEMA Software Manual , downloadable at: http://www.adlinktech.com/sema/ .

Use Main Current Function

5.1.2

Main Current

The BMC of the Express-HLE implements a current monitor. The current can be read by calling the SEMA function “Get Main Current”. The function returns four 16-bit values divided in high-byte (MSB) and low-byte (LSB). These 4 values represent the last 4 currents drawn by the board. The values are sampled every 250ms. The order of the 4 values is NOT in chronological order. Access by the BMC may increase the drawn current of the whole system. In this case, there are still 3 samples not influenced by the read access.

Main Current = (MSB_n<<8 + LSB_n) x 8.06mA

Exception Codes

In case of an error, the BMC drives a blinking code on the blue Status LED (LED1). The same error code is also reported by the BMC Flags register. The Exception Code is not stored in the Flash Storage and is cleared when the power is removed. Therefore, a “Clear Exception

Code” command is not needed or supported.

This section of this document lists checkpoints and beep codes generated by AMI Aptio BIOS. The checkpoints defined in this document are inherent to the AMIBIOS generic core, and do not include any chipset or board specific checkpoint definitions.

Checkpoints and Beep Codes Definition

A checkpoint is either a byte or word value output to I/O port 80h. The BIOS outputs checkpoints throughout bootblock and Power-On Self

Test (POST) to indicate the task the system is currently executing. Checkpoints are very useful for debugging problems that occur during the preboot process.

Beep codes are used by the BIOS to indicate a serious or fatal error. They are used when an error occurs before the system video has been initialized, and generated by the system board speaker.

Aptio Boot Flow

While performing the functions of the traditional BIOS, Aptio 5.x core follows the firmware model described by the Intel Platform Innovation

Framework for EFI (“the Framework”). The Framework refers the following “boot phases”, which may apply to various status code & checkpoint descriptions:

• Security (SEC) – initial low-level initialization

• Pre-EFI Initialization (PEI) – memory initialization 1

• Driver Execution Environment (DXE) – main hardware initialization 2

• Boot Device Selection (BDS) – system setup, pre-OS user interface & selecting a bootable device (CD/DVD, HDD, USB, Network,

Shell, …)

Viewing BIOS Checkpoints

Viewing all checkpoints generated by the BIOS requires a checkpoint card, also referred to as a OST Card or POST Diagnostic Card. These are PCI add-in cards that show the value of I/O port 80h on a LED display.

Some computers display checkpoints in the bottom right corner of the screen during POST. This display method is limited, since it only displays checkpoints that occur after the video card has been activated.

Keep in mind that not all computers using AMI Aptio BIOS enable this feature. In most cases, a checkpoint card is the best tool for viewing

AMI Aptio BIOS checkpoints.

Thermal Solution

9.2.1

Heat Spreaders

The function of the heat spreader is to ensure an identical mechanical profile for all COM Express modules. By using a heat spreader, the thermal solution that is built on top of the module is compatible with all COM Express modules.

9.2.2

Heat Sinks

A heat sink can be used as a thermal solution for a specific COM Express module and can have a fan or be fanless, depending on the thermal requirements.

9.2.3

Installation

Install a heat spreader or heat sink using the following instructions.

Step 1: Before mounting the heatsink, install the required memory modules onto the SODIMM socket(s) on the COM Express module.

Step 2: Remove the protective membranes from the thermal pads.

Step 3: Assemble the heatsink onto the COM Express module.

Express-HLE Page 83

Step 4: Use the four M2.5, L=6mm screws provided to fasten the heatsink to the module.

Step 5: Place the COM Express module and heatsink assembly onto the connectors on the carrier board as shown.

Then press down on the module until it is firmly seated on the carrier board.

Step 6: Use the five M2.5, L=16mm screws provided to secure the COM Express module to the carrier board from the solder side.

Step 7: If you are installing a heatsink with a fan, plug the fan connector into the carrier board as shown.

Page 84 Express-HLE

9.3

Mounting Methods

There are several standard ways to mount the COM Express module with a thermal solution onto a carrier board. In addition to the choice of

5 mm or 8mm board-to-board connectors, there is the choice of Top and Bottom mounting. In Top mounting, the threaded standoffs are on the carrier board and the thermal solution is equipped with through-hole standoffs. In Bottom mounting, the threaded standoffs are on the thermal solution and the carrier board has through-hole standoffs.

Express-HLE Page 85

9.4

Standoff Types

The standoffs available for Top and Bottom mounting methods are shown below. Note that threaded standoffs are DIP type and throughhole standoffs are SMT type. Other types not listed are available upon request.
