# Kontron mAL10 Computer-on-Modules platform
|
|
|
|
The Kontron [mAL10] COMe is a credit card sized Computer-on-Modules
|
|
platform based on the Intel Atom E3900 Series, Pentium and Celeron
|
|
processors.
|
|
|
|

## Building coreboot
|
|
|
|
The following commands will build a working image:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make distclean
|
|
make defconfig KBUILD_DEFCONFIG=configs/config.kontron_mal10
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
## Payloads
|
|
- SeaBIOS
|
|
- edk2
|
|
- Linux as payload
|
|
|
|
## Flashing coreboot
|
|
|
|
The SPI flash can be accessed internally using [flashrom].
|
|
The following command is used to flash BIOS region.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ flashrom -p internal --ifd -i bios -w coreboot.rom --noverify-all
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Hardware Monitor
|
|
|
|
The Nuvoton [NCT7802Y] is a hardware monitoring IC, capable of monitor critical
|
|
system parameters including power supply voltages, fan speeds, and temperatures.
|
|
The remote inputs can be connected to CPU/GPU thermal diode or any thermal diode
|
|
sensors and thermistor.
|
|
|
|
- 6 temperature sensors;
|
|
- 5 voltage sensors;
|
|
- 3 fan speed sensors;
|
|
- 4 sets of temperature setting points.
|
|
|
|
PECI is not supported by Apollo Lake Pentium/Celeron/Atom processors and the CPU
|
|
temperature value is taken from a thermal resistor (NTC) that is placed very
|
|
close to the CPU.
|
|
|
|
## Untested
|
|
|
|
- IGD/LVDS
|
|
- SDIO
|
|
|
|
## Tested and working
|
|
|
|
- Kontron CPLD/EC (Serial ports, I2C port, GPIOs)
|
|
- NCT7802 [HWM](#Hardware Monitor)
|
|
- USB2/3
|
|
- Gigabit Ethernet ports
|
|
- eMMC
|
|
- SATA
|
|
- PCIe ports
|
|
- IGD/DP
|
|
|
|
## TODO
|
|
- Onboard audio (codec IDT 92HD73C1X5, currently disabled)
|
|
- S3 suspend/resume
