Onboard Microcontroller
The COM 830 is equipped with an ATMEL Atmega168 microcontroller. This onboard microcontroller plays
an important role for most of the BIOS features. It fully isolates some of the embedded features such as
system monitoring or the I²C bus from the x86 core architecture, which results in higher embedded feature
performance and more reliability, even when the x86 processor is in a low power mode.
Embedded BIOS
The COM 830 is equipped with Embedded BIOS and has the following features:
ACPI Power Management
ACPI Battery Support
Supports Customer Specific CMOS Defaults
Multistage Watchdog
User Data Storage
Manufacturing Data and Board Information
OEM Splash Screen
Flat Panel Auto Detection
BIOS Setup Data Backup
