Additional Features
6.1
eMMC 5.0
The conga-TC175 offers an optional eMMC 5.0 flash onboard.
6.2
congatec Board Controller (cBC)
The conga-TC175 is equipped with Texas Instruments Tiva™ TM4E1231H6ZRB microcontroller. This onboard microcontroller plays an important
role for most of the congatec embedded/industrial PC features. It fully isolates some of the embedded features such as system monitoring
or the I²C bus from the x86 core architecture, which results in higher embedded feature performance and more reliability, even when the x86
processor is in a low power mode. It also ensures that the congatec embedded feature set is fully compatible amongst all congatec modules.
The board controller supports the following features:
6.2.1
Board Information
The cBC provides a rich data-set of manufacturing and board information such as serial number, EAN number, hardware and firmware revisions,
and so on. It also keeps track of dynamically changing data like runtime meter and boot counter.
6.2.2
Watchdog
The conga-TC175 is equipped with a multi stage watchdog solution that is triggered by software. The conga-TC175 does not support external
hardware triggering because the COM Express™ Specification does not provide support for external hardware triggering of the Watchdog.
For more information about the watchdog feature, see the BIOS setup description in section 10.4.2 of this document and application note
AN3_Watchdog.pdf on the congatec AG website at www.congatec.com.
Note
The conga-TC175 module does not support the watchdog NMI mode.
