ACPI Battery Management

W ACPI Battery Management

By following our CMB interface specification, customers can implement their own battery solutions or obtain a fully tested battery system from congatec AG. In combination with an ACPI operating system, the battery functionality associated with mobile platforms is supported by congatec embedded computers. Now it‘s much easier to build mobile embedded applications that have notebook battery functionality. The congatec ACPI BIOS and board controller are designed to support a CMB (Control Method Battery) sub-system. The board controller interacts with the battery solution by providing the congatec ACPI BIOS with all the required battery information. Since all congatec designs are equipped with the board controller, the entire XTX and COM Express
™ product family range supports ACPI Battery Management. M anagemen t . f unc ti ona lit y.
