2 Technical Reference
2.1 Addressable Memory
The Intel® Compute Card utilizes up to 4 or 8 GB of addressable system memory depending on the model. Typically the address space that is allocated for PCI Conventional bus add -in cards, PCI Express configuration space, BIOS (SPI Flash device), and chipset overhead resides above the top of DRAM (total system memory). On a system that has 4 GB of system memory installed, it is not possible to use all of the installed memory due to system address space being allocated for other system critical functions. These functions include the following:
- 64 Mb BIOS/SPI Flash device for CD1M3128MK
- 128 Mb BIOS/SPI Flash device for CD1IV128MK
- Local APIC (19 MB)
- Direct Media Interface (40 MB)
- PCI Express configuration space (256 MB)
- SoC base address registers PCI Express ports (up to 256 MB)
- Integrated graphics shared memory (64 MB) The Intel® Compute Card provides the capability to reclaim the physical memory overlapped by the memory mapped I/O logical address space. Physical memory is remapped from the top of usable DRAM boundary to the 4 GB boundary to an equivalent sized logical address range located just above the 4 GB boundary. All installed system memory can be used when there is no overlap of system addresses.
2.2 Connector
This section describes the connector available on the Intel® Compute Card. The connector is separated into two sections: a Type C-compliant portion and an extended portion. The Type C portion supports Type C-compliant connections including video with audio and USB. The extended portion supports video with audio, USB, and PCIe. Power is supplied to the card from the device the Compute Card is plugged into using the Type C portion of the connector.
2.2.1 Connector Interface Options
The connector has several interface options that are listed in table 6. Table 6. Connector Interface Options
- 2 lanes of DDI supports 1080P and 4 lanes of DDI supports 4K with DisplayPort 1.2

3 Overview of BIOS Features
3.1 Introduction
The Intel® Compute Card uses an Intel® BIOS that is stored in the Serial Peripheral Interface Flash Memory (SPI Flash) and can be updated using a disk-based program. The SPI Flash contains the BIOS Setup program, POST, the PCI auto-configuration utility, and Plug and Play support. The initial production BIOSs are identified as MKKBLY35.86A or MKKBLi5v.86A. The BIOS Setup program can be used to view and change the BIOS settings for the computer, and to update the system BIOS. The BIOS Setup program is accessed by pressing the <F2> key after the Power-On Self-Test (POST) memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins.
3.2 BIOS Flash Memory Organization
The Serial Peripheral Interface Flash Memory (SPI Flash) includes:
- 128 Mb (16384 KB) flash memory device for CD1IV128MK
- 64 Mb (8192 KB) flash memory device for CD1M3128MK
3.3 System Management BIOS (SMBIOS)
SMBIOS is a Desktop Management Interface (DMI) compliant method for managing computers in a managed network. The main component of SMBIOS is the Management Information Format (MIF) database, which contains information about the computing system and its components. Using SMBIOS, a system administrator can obtain the system types, capabilities, operational status, and installation dates for system components. The MIF database defines the data and provides the method for accessing this information. The BIOS enables applications such as third -party management software to use SMBIOS. The BIOS stores and reports the following SMBIOS information:
- BIOS data, such as the BIOS revision level
- Fixed-system data, such as peripherals, serial numbers, and asset tags
- Resource data, such as memory size, cache size, and processor speed
- Dynamic data, such as event detection and error logging Non-Plug and Play operating systems require an additional interface for obtaining the SMBIOS information. The BIOS supports an SMBIOS table interface for such operating systems. Using this support, an SMBIOS service-level application running on a non-Plug and Play operating system can obtain the SMBIOS information. Additional information can be found in the BIOS under the Additional Information header under the Main BIOS page.
3.4 Legacy USB Support
Legacy USB support enables USB devices to be used even when the operating system’s USB drivers are not yet available. Legacy USB support is used to access the BIOS Setup program, and to install an operating system that supports USB. By default, Legacy USB su pport is set to Enabled. In order to boot to a USB device, the Compute Card must be plugged into a compatible device with USB ports. Legacy USB support operates as follows: 1. When you apply power to the computer, legacy support is disabled. 2. POST begins. 3. Legacy USB support is enabled by the BIOS allowing you to use a USB keyboard to enter and configure the BIOS Setup program and the maintenance menu. 4. POST completes. 5. The operating system loads. While the operating system is loading, USB keyboards and mice are recognized and may be used to configure the operating system. (Keyboards and mice are not recognized during this period if Legacy USB support was set to Disabled in the BIOS Setup program.) 6. After the operating system loads the USB drivers, all legacy and non-legacy USB devices are recognized by the operating system, and Legacy USB support from the BIOS is no longer used.
3.5 BIOS Updates
The BIOS can be updated using either of the following utilities, which are available on the Intel ® World Wide Web site:
- Intel® Express BIOS Update Utility, which enables automated updating while in the Windows environment. Using this utility, the BIOS can be updated from a file on a hard disk, a USB drive (a flash drive or a USB hard drive), or a CD-ROM, or from the file location on the Web.
- Intel® F7 switch during POST allows a user to select where the BIOS .bio file is located and perform the update from that location/device. All utilities verify that the updated BIOS matches the target system to prevent accidentally installing an incompatible BIOS. NOTE Review the instructions distributed with the upgrade utility before attempting a BIOS update. The Compute Card must be plugged into a compatible device in order to update the BIOS. For information about Refer to BIOS update instructions http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/boards-and-kits/intel- compute-card/000023859.html
