and 8x USB provides fast and sufficient interfaces for external peripherals.

All above mentioned requirements are supported by COM Express® mini - small power - low size - high performance.

2.2 Naming clarification


COM Express® defines a Computer-On-Module, or COM, with all components necessary for a bootable host computer,
packaged as a super component.

» COMe-bXX# modules are Kontron's COM Express® modules in basic form factor (125mm x 95mm), formerly known
as ETXexpress®

» COMe-cXX# modules are Kontron's COM Express® modules in compact form factor (95mm x 95mm), formerly known
as microETXexpress®

» COMe-mXX# modules are Kontron's COM Express® modules in mini form factor (55mm x 84mm), formerly known as
nanoETXexpress

The product names for Kontron COM Express® Computer-on-Modules consist of a short form of the industry standard
(COMe-), the form factor (b=basic, c=compact, m=mini), the capital letters for the CPU and Chipset Codenames (XX) and
the pin-out type (#) followed by the CPU Name.

2.4 COM Express® Documentation


This product manual serves as one of three principal references for a COM Express® design. It documents the
specifications and features of COMe-mSP1. Additional references are are available from your Kontron Support or from
PICMG®:

» The COM Express® Specification defines the COM Express® module form factor, pin-out, and signals. This document
is available from the PIGMG website by filling out the order form.

» The COM Express® Design Guide by PICMG serves as a general guide for baseboard design, with a focus on maximum
flexibility to accommodate a wide range of COM Express® modules.

Some of the information contained within this product manual applies only to certain
product revisions (CE: xxx). If certain information applies to specific product revisions (CE:
xxx) it will be stated. Please check the product revision of your module to see if this
information is applicable.

2.5 COM Express® Benefits


COM Express® modules are very compact, highly integrated computers. All Kontron COM Express® modules feature a
standardized form factor and a standardized connector layout that carry a specified set of signals. Each COM is based on
the COM Express® specification. This standardization allows designers to create a single-system baseboard that can
accept present and future COM Express® modules.

The baseboard designer can optimize exactly how each of these functions implements physically. Designers can place
connectors precisely where needed for the application on a baseboard designed to optimally fit a system’s packaging.

A single baseboard design can use a range of COM Express® modules with different size and pin-out. This flexibility can
differentiate products at various price/performance points, or to design future proof systems that have a built-in upgrade
path. The modularity of a COM Express® solution also ensures against obsolescence as computer technology evolves. A
properly designed COM Express® baseboard can work with several successive generations of COM Express® modules.

A COM Express® baseboard design has many advantages of a custom, computer-board design but delivers better
obsolescence protection, greatly reduced engineering effort, and faster time to market.

3.5 Power Control

Power Supply
The COMe-mSP1 supports a power input from 4.75 - 14V. The supply voltage is applied through the VCC pins (VCC) of the
module connector.

Power Button (PWRBTN#)


The power button (Pin B12) is available through the module connector described in the pinout list. To start the module via
Power Button the PWRBTN# signal must be at least 50ms (50ms ≤ t < 4s, typical 400ms) at low level (Power Button Event).

Pressing the power button for at least 4seconds will turn off power to the module (Power Button Override).

Power Good (PWR_OK)


The COMe-mSP1 provides an external input for a power-good signal (Pin B24). The implementation of this subsystem
complies with the COM Express® Specification. PWR_OK is internally pulled up to 3.3V and must be high level to power on

3.8 MTBF
The following MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) values were calculated using a combination of manufacturer’s test data, if
the data was available, and the Telcordia (Bellcore) issue 2 calculation for the remaining parts.
The calculation methode used is “Telcordia Method 1 Case 3” in a ground benign, controlled environment (GB,GC). This
particular method takes into account varying temperature and stress data and the system is assumed to have not been
burned in.
Other environmental stresses (extreme altitude, vibration, salt water exposure, etc) lower MTBF values.

System MTBF (hours): 209423 @ 40°C

Fans usually shipped with Kontron Europe GmbH products have 50,000-hour typical
operating life. The above estimates assume no fan, but a passive heat sinking arrangement
Estimated RTC battery life (as opposed to battery failures) is not accounted for in the above
figures and need to be considered for separately. Battery life depends on both temperature
and operating conditions. When the Kontron unit has external power; the only battery
drain is from leakage paths.

3.10 Thermal Management


A heatspreader plate assembly is available from Kontron Europe GmbH for the COMe-mSP1. The heatspreader plate on top
of this assembly is NOT a heat sink. It works as a COM Express®-standard thermal interface to use with a heat sink or other
cooling device.

External cooling must be provided to maintain the heatspreader plate at proper operating temperatures. Under worst-
case conditions, the cooling mechanism must maintain an ambient air and heatspreader plate temperature of 60° C or
less.

The aluminum slugs and thermal pads on the underside of the heatspreader assembly implement thermal interfaces
between the heatspreader plate and the major heat-generating components on the COMe-mSP1. About 80 percent of the
power dissipated within the module is conducted to the heatspreader plate and can be removed by the cooling solution.

You can use many thermal-management solutions with the heatspreader plates, including active and passive approaches.
The optimum cooling solution varies, depending on the COM Express® application and environmental conditions. Please
see the COM Express® Design Guide for further information on thermal management.

COMe-mSP1 / Features and Interfaces

4.2 LPC
The Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface signals are connected to the LPC Bus bridge located in the CPU or chipset. The LPC low
speed interface can be used for peripheral circuits such as an external Super I/O Controller, which typically combines
legacy-device support into a single IC. The implementation of this subsystem complies with the COM Express®
Specification. Implementation information is provided in the COM Express® Design Guide maintained by PICMG. Please
refer to the official PICMG documentation for additional information.

The LPC bus does not support DMA (Direct Memory Access) and a clock buffer is required when more than one device is
used on LPC. This leads to limitations for ISA bus and SIO (standard I/O´s like Floppy or LPT interfaces) implementations.

All Kontron COM Express® Computer-on-Modules imply BIOS support for following external baseboard LPC Super I/O
controller features for the Winbond/Nuvoton 5V 83627HF/G and 3.3V 83627DHG-P:

4.6 JIDA16 and JIDA32


JIDA16 (JUMPtec® Intelligent Device Architecture) is a BIOS interface which allows programs running in Real Mode
operating systems (i.e. MS DOS) to call certain functions implemented in the BIOS. These functions can be used to get
module information, make settings and access the I2C Bus and the Watchdog unit. JIDA16 functions are INT 15h BIOS calls
which are only available in 16 Bit Real Mode operating systems.

For 32bit operating systems (i.e. WindowsXP, Windows 7, Windows CE, VxWorks, Linux) a different JIDA implementation
called JIDA32 is implemented. The same common driver for all JIDA32 capable modules talks to the JIDA32 part in the
BIOS, which is hardware dependent to interact with the hardware.

Please refer to EMD Customer Section for detailed documentation, JIDA utilities and Libraries for DOS, Windows, Linux,
VxWorks or QNX.

4.12 Speedstep Technology


The Intel® processors offers the Intel® Enhanced SpeedStep™ technology that automatically switches between maximum
performance mode and battery-optimized mode, depending on the needs of the application being run. It let you
customize high performance computing on your applications. When powered by a battery or running in idle mode, the
processor drops to lower frequencies (by changing the CPU ratios) and voltage, conserving battery life while maintaining
a high level of performance. The frequency is set back automatically to the high frequency, allowing you to customize
performance.

In order to use the Intel® Enhanced SpeedStep™ technology the operating system must support SpeedStep™ technology.

By disabling the SpeedStep feature in the BIOS, manual control/modification of CPU performance is possible. Setup the
CPU Performance State in the BIOS Setup or use 3rd party software to control CPU Performance States.

4.13 C-States
New generation platforms include power saving features like SuperLFM, EIST (P-States) or C-States in O/S idle mode.

Activated C-States are able to dramatically decrease power consumption in idle mode by reducing the Core Voltage or
switching of parts of the CPU Core, the Core Clocks or the CPU Cache.

Following C-States are defined:


C-State Description Function
C0 Operating CPU fully turned on
C1 Halt State Stops CPU main internal clocks via software
C1E Enhanced Halt Similar to C1, additionally reduces CPU voltage
C2 Stop Grant Stops CPU internal and external clocks via hardware
C2E Extended Stop Grant Similar to C2, additionally reduces CPU voltage
C3 Deep Sleep Stops all CPU internal and external clocks
C3E Extended Stop Grant Similar to C3, additionally reduces CPU voltage
C4 Deeper Sleep Reduces CPU voltage
C4E Enhanced Deeper Sleep Reduces CPU voltage even more and turns off the memory cache
C6 Deep Power Down Reduces the CPU internal voltage to any value, including 0V
C7 Deep Power Down Similar to C6, additionally LLC (LastLevelCache) is switched off

C-States are usually enabled by default for low power consumption, but active C-States my influence performance
sensitive applications or real-time systems.

» Active C6-State may influence data transfer on external Serial Ports

» Active C7-State may cause lower CPU and Graphics performance

It's recommended to disable C-States / Enhanced C-States in BIOS Setup if any problems occur.

4.14 Hyper Threading


Hyper Threading (officially termed Hyper Threading Technology or HTT) is an Intel®-proprietary technology used to
improve parallelization of computations performed on PC´s. Hyper-Threading works by duplicating certain sections of the
processor—those that store the architectural state but not duplicating the main execution resources. This allows a Hyper-
Threading equipped processor to pretend to be two “logical” processors to the host operating system, allowing the
operating system to schedule two threads or processes simultaneously. Hyper Threading Technology support always relies
on the Operating System.

The COMe-mSP1 uses the graphics accelerator GMA500 with 200MHz GPU clock integrated in the Intel® System Controller
Hub (US15W), which delivers shader-based technologies and high-performance 2D, 3D and video capabilities. The
GMA500 graphics engine supports a variety of LCD panels with single clock, color depths of 18/24 bit and resolutions up
to WXGA (1366×768). The maximum supported pixelclock of the system controller hub is 112 MHz.

Hardware video decode acceleration relieves the decode burden from the processor and reduces the power consumption of
the system. Full hardware acceleration of H.264, MPEG2, VC1 and WMV9 eliminates the need of a software codec and
offloads the CPU.

The graphic adapter uses the onboard RAM as graphic memory. The preallocated memory is defined through bios settings.

Possible settings are:

» 1MB

» 4MB

» 8MB

The total amount of graphics memory in the operating system depends on the size of system memory and the used driver
settings. The graphics media accelerator driver GMA uses DVMT to manage allocating of system memory according to the
needs of running applications. The Intel® Embedded Graphics Driver IEGD allocates the maximum of graphics memory
depending on system memory and driver settings.
Physical Memory Preallocated Memory in BIOS Setup Maximum Graphics Memory with GMA Driver Maximum Graphics Memory with IEGD
512MB 1MB 127MB 352MB
512MB 4MB 126MB 352MB
512MB 8MB 125MB 352MB
1024MB 1MB 255MB 352MB
1024MB 4MB 254MB 352MB
1024MB 8MB 253MB 352MB

For memory allocation according to the table above BIOS revision NOW1R112 or newer is
recommended

When using 1MB Preallocated Memory an Operating Systems without active GMA or IEGD
may have problems to display a screen (e.g. during WinXP installation).

VGA
The nanoETXexpress-SP graphics subsystem GMA500 integrated in the Intel® System Controller Hub US15W does not
support VGA output.

LVDS Flat Panel Interface (JILI)


The user interface for flat panels is the JUMPtec Intelligent LVDS Interface (JILI). The implementation of this subsystem
complies with the COM Express® Specification. Implementation information is provided in the COM Express® Design
Guide. Refer to the documentation for additional information.

SDVO
A Serial DVO connection is supported with hardware revision CE 4.x.x or newer. The digital display channel configured
from display Pipe A in GMA500 graphics adapter is capable of driving SDVO adapters that provide interfaces to a variety of
external display technologies such as HDMI, DVI, TV-out or CRT (the maximum supported pixel clock is 160MHz). Contact
your local sales representative which adapters are available.

SDVO is optional available via:

» 30pin onboard flat foil connector

» COM Express connector (recommended solution)

COMe-mSP1 / Features and Interfaces

4.19 LPC Bus


The Low Pin Count Interface signals are connected to the LPC Bus bridge, which is located in the Intel® US15W system
controller hub. The LPC low speed interface can be used for peripheral circuits such as an external Super I/O Controller,
which typically combines legacy-device support into a single IC. The implementation of this subsystem complies with the
ETXexpress® Specification. Implementation information is provided in the COM Express® Design Guide by PICMG. Refer to
the documentation for additional information.

The LPC bus does not support DMA (Direct Memory Access). This leads to limitations for ISA bus and SIO (standard I/O´s
like Floppy or LPT interfaces) implementations. When more than one device is connected to the LPC bus a clock buffer is
required!

Due to Power management of the LPC Bus, clock buffers that require synchronization
should be used with great care and may prevent the board from booting up.

Active LPC Clock frequency


» with Z530 CPU: 33MHz

» with Z510 CPU: 25MHz

Standard Clock Buffer

When using a standard clock buffer on the baseboard please be aware that the generated delay has to be considered for
the length matching of the layout.

Clock Buffer Reference Schematic


The implementation of a clock buffer can be realized as shown in the evaluation schematic below:

COMe-mSP1 / Features and Interfaces

Zero Delay Clock Buffer

Do not use the reference schematic in the COM Express Design Guide. Either use another
Clock Buffer solution without a long start up process or use series resistors to double the
LPC clock line. Follow the design recommendations in the COM Express Design Guide by
PICMG.

6 BIOS Operation
The module is equipped with AMI® CORE8 BIOS, which is located in an onboard SPI/LPC flash memory. You can update the
BIOS using a Flash utility.

6.1 Determining the BIOS Version


To determine the AMI® BIOS version, immediately press the Pause key on your keyboard as soon as you see the following
text display in the upper left corner of your screen:

» AMIBIOS © 2006 American Megatrends, Inc.

» BIOS Date: mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss Ver: xx.xx.xx

» Kontron® BIOS Version <NOW1RXXX

» Copyright 2002-2011 Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH

6.2 BIOS Update


Kontron provides continous BIOS updates for Computer-on-Modules. The updates are provided for download on
http://emdcustomersection.kontron.com with a detailed change description within the according Product Change
Notification (PCN). Please register for EMD Customer Section to get access to BIOS downloads and PCN service.

Modules with BIOS Region/Setup only inside the flash can be updated with AFU utilities (usually 1-3MB BIOS binary file
size) directly. Modules with Intel® Management Engine, Ethernet, Flash Descriptor and other options additionally to the
BIOS Region (usually 4-8MB BIOS binary file size) requires a different update process with Intel Flash Utility FPT and a
wrapper to backup and restore configurations and the MAC address. Therefore it is strongly recommended to use the batch
file inside the BIOS download package available on EMD Customer Section.

» Boot the module to DOS/EFI Shell with access to the BIOS image and Firmware Update Utility provided on EMD
Customer Section

» Execute Flash.bat in DOS or Flash.nsh in EFI Shell

Any modification of the update process may damage your module!

Passive Cooling

The ACPI OS assesses the optimum CPU performance change necessary to lower the temperature using the following
equation

?P[%] = TC1(Tn-Tn-1) + TC2(Tn-Tt)

?P is the performance delta, Tt is the target temperature = passive cooling trip point. The two coefficients TC1 and TC2 and
the sampling period TSP are hardware dependent constants the end user must supply. It’s up to the end user to set the
cooling preference of the system by setting the appropriate trip points in the BIOS setup.
