In addtion to the ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery mentioned above, the latest versions of the conga-PA7 BIOS and board controller
firmware also support LTC1760 battery manager from Linear Technology and a battery only solution (no charger). All three battery solutions are
supported on the I2C bus. This gives the system designer more flexibility when choosing the appropriate battery sub-system.

API Support (CGOS)
In order to benefit from the above mentioned non-industry standard feature set, congatec provides an API that allows application software
developers to easily integrate all these features into their code. The CGOS API (congatec Operating System Application Programming
Interface) is the congatec proprietary API that is available for all commonly used Operating Systems such as Win32, Win64, Win CE, Linux.
The architecture of the CGOS API driver provides the ability to write application software that runs unmodified on all congatec CPU modules.
All the hardware related code is contained within the congatec embedded BIOS on the module. See section 1.1 of the CGOS API software
developers guide, which is available on the congatec website.
6.8
Thermal/Voltage Monitoring
The congatec Board Controller monitors the +12V input voltage, input current and two onboard thermal sensors. The CPU temperature is
measured by its internal sensor.
6.9
External System Wake Event
The conga-PA7 supports USB, LAN, power/sleep/LID buttons and PCIe driven wake up events.
6.10
Security Features
The conga-PA7 provides an onboard TPM 2.0 chip (Infineon SLB9670) connected to the SPI interface.
