VCC: 8.5 \~ 20V
■ VSB: 4.75 \~ 5.25V (Suspend power)
■ RTC Battery Power: 2.0 \~ 3.3V
1.3.8.2 PWROK
Power OK uses the main power supply. A high value indicates that the power supply is adequate. This signal can be used to hold off module startup and allow carrier based FPGAs or other configurable devices time to be programmed.
1.3.8.3 Power Sequence
According to PICMG COM Express R3.0 specifications.
1.3.8.4 Wake Event
Supports various wake-up events enabling users to apply solution in different scenarios.
■ Wake-on-LAN(WOL): Wake to S0 from S3/S4/S5
USB Wake: Wake to S0 from S3/S4
PCIe Device Wake: Depends on user inquiry and may need customized BIOS
■ LPC Wake: Depends on user inquiry and may need customized BIOS
1.3.8.5 Advantech S5 ECO Mode (Deep Sleep Mode)
Advantech iManager provides additional features that allow the system to enter a very low suspend power mode called S5 ECO mode. In this mode, the module will cut all power, including suspend and active power, into chipset and keep an on-module controller active. Under 50mW power is consumed in this mode, which means the user's battery pack can last longer. This mode is enabled in BIOS, the system (or module) will only support boot via a power button. It can use other methods like WOL.

Data Bits
Data Bits
Parity
A parity bit can be sent with the data bits to detect some transmission errors.
Even: parity bit is 0 if the num of 1's in the data bits is even. Odd: parity bit is 0 if num of 1's in the data bits is odd. Mark: parity bit always 1. Space: Parity bit is always 0. Mark and Space Parity do not allow for error detection
Stop Bits
Stop bits indicate the end of a serial data packet.(A start bit indicates the beginning). The standard setting is 1 stop bit. Communication with slow devices may require more than 1 stop bit.
Flow Control
Flow control can prevent data loss from buffer overflow. When sending data, if the receiving buffers are full, a "stop" signal can be sent to stop the data flow.
Once the buffers are empty, a "start" signal can be sent to re-start the flow. Hardware flow control uses two wires to send start/stop signals

4.1 S/W Introduction
Advantech Embedded Software Services' mission is to "Enhance quality of life with Advantech platforms and Microsoft Windows embedded technology" We enable Windows Embedded software products on Advantech platforms to more effectively support the embedded computing community. Customers are freed from the hassle of dealing with multiple vendors (Hardware suppliers, System integrators, Embedded OS distributors) for projects. Our goal is to make Windows Embedded Software solutions easily and widely available to the embedded computing community.
4.2 Driver Installation
The Intel Chipset Software Installation (CSI) utility installs the Windows INF files that outline to the operating system how the chipset components will be configured.
4.2.1 Windows Driver Setup
SOM-6872 supports Windows* 10 Enterprise. To install the drivers on a windows-based operation system, please connect to Internet and browse the website http://support.advantech.com.tw and download the drivers that you want to install and follow Driver Setup instructions to complete the installation
4.2.2 Other OS
SOM-6872 supports Linux:
Ubuntu (by Request)
Wind River VxWorks* 7.0 (by Request)
4.3 Advantech iManager
Advantech's platforms come equipped with iManager, a micro controller that delivers embedded features to system integrators. Embedded features have been moved from the OS/BIOS level to the board level — increasing reliability and simplifying integration.
iManager runs whether the operating system is running or not; it can count the boot times and running hours of the device, monitor device health, and provide an advanced watchdog to handle errors just as they happen. iManager also comes with a secure & encrypted EEPROM for storing important security key or other customer define information. All the embedded functions are configured through API and provide corresponding utilities to demonstrate. These APIs comply with PICMG EAPI (Embedded Application Programmable Interface) specification and unify in the same structures. It makes these embedded features easier to integrate, speed up developing schedule, and provide the customer's software continuity while upgrade hardware. More details of how to use the APIs and utilities, please refer to Advantech iManager 2.0 Software API User Manual.
Control

GPIO
General Purpose Input/Output is a flexible parallel interface that allows a variety of custom connections. It allows users to monitor the level of signal input or set the output status to switch on/off a device. Our API also provides Programmable GPIO, which allows developers to dynamically set the GPIO input or output status.

SMBus
SMBus is the System Management Bus defined by Intel® Corporation in 1995. It is used in personal computers and servers for low-speed system management communications. The SMBus API allows a developer to interface a embedded system environment and transfer serial messages using the SMBus protocols, allowing multiple simultaneous device control.

PC
^1 PC is a bi-directional two wire bus that was developed by Philips for use in their televisions in the 1980s. The PC API allows a developer to interface with an embedded system environment and transfer serial messages using the ^1 PC protocols, allowing multiple simultaneous device control.
Monitor

Watchdog
A watchdog timer (WDT) is a device that performs a specific operation after a certain period of time if something goes wrong and the system does not recover on its own. A watchdog timer can be programmed to perform a warm boot (restarting the system) after a certain number of seconds.

Hardware Monitor
The Hardware Monitor (HWM) API is a system health supervision API that inspects certain condition indexes, such as fan speed, temperature and voltage.

Hardware Control
The Hardware Control API allows developers to set the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) value to adjust fan speed or other devices; it can also be used to adjust the LCD brightness.
Display

Brightness Control
The Brightness Control API allows a developer to interface with an embedded device to easily control brightness.

Backlight
The Backlight API allows a developer to control the backlight (screen) on/off in an embedded device.
Power Saving

CPU Speed
Make use of Intel SpeedStep technology to reduce power power consumption. The system will automatically adjust the CPU Speed depending on system loading.

System
Throttling
Refers to a series of methods for reducing power consumption in computers by lowering the clock frequency. These APIs allow the user to lower the clock from 87.5% to 12.5%.
