SC9-TOCCATA
CompactPCI® Serial CPU Card • Intel® XEON® W 11xxx (Tiger Lake)
The SC9-TOCCATA is a rich featured high performance 4HP/3U CompactPCI® Serial CPU board, equipped with an Intel® 11th Generation XEON® Processor (Tiger Lake H45 platform) for demanding industrial applications.
The SC9-TOCCATA front panel is provided with three 2.5Gbps Ethernet jacks for networking (2 x TCC/TSN capable) and three 10Gbps USB Type-C receptacles (DisplayPort Alternate Mode enabled) for versatile device and display attachment.
On-board mass-storage solutions are based on low profile mezzanine expansion cards, which accommodate up to two M.2 style SSD modules. One of the M.2 sockets is suitable for a fast NVMe (PCI Express® Gen4 x 4) module.
The SC9-TOCCATA is equipped with up to 64GB DDR4 ECC RAM. Up to 32GB memory-down are provided for rugged applications, and another 32GB are available via the DDR4 ECC SODIMM socket.
The 11th Generation XEON® and Core™ processors are accompanied by the RM590E mobile PCH, for a maximum of high speed I/O resources (e.g. PCI Express®, SATA, USB). Altogether with the processor, 25 PCIe® lanes in total are provided for backplane use, and another 8 lanes for local mezzanine expansion up to PCIe® Gen4 speed.
As an option, up to eight additional Gigabit Ethernet ports (either switch or NICs) are available via the backplane connector P6 by means of a mezzanine module.

Release Notes for Phoenix UEFI/BIOS Firmware on EKF SC9-FESTIVAL
================================================================This file describes changes, extensions and bug fixes made in Phoenix BIOS
for EKF SC9-TOCCATA. For any further questions contact EKF at:
Email : support[a t]ekf.de
Internet : www.ekf.com===================================================================================================================
2024-09-30: BIOS release, Build #076 production
– Changed PCIe clock mode for all cPCI Serial slots from mode “free running” to mode “clock request”
– BIOS Setup Defaults are now loaded when jumper GP is detected as set during boot
– BIOS Setup Defaults are no longer loaded if a RTC Reset is performed
A RTC Reset now only resets register bits in the RTC well– Fixed Ethernet Controller 2 (middle RJ45 in front panel) sometimes disappeared in OS
– Removed fourth SA PCIe Port configuration from BIOS Setup
– Show routing of SA PCI Express Ports 1-3 (Port 1 = HSE1, Port 2 = FP1, Port 3 = FP2)
– Added support for boards with missing, empty or weak battery
Appropriate RTC and CMOS error messages can be suppressed by this Setup node
Setup (F2): Advanced -> Miscellaneous Configuration -> Ignore Battery Error
Available options: Disabled (Default), Enabled– Changed RTC default date to 2024-01-01 on RTC error
– Automatically disable PCIe Root Ports for all cPCI Serial slots when CPU board is inserted in a cPCI peripheral slot
– Disabled USB Port 8 automatically if CPU board is inserted in a cPCI peripheral slot
– Removed unsupported D3 (cold) support from ACPI
– Disabled USB xDCI device (eXtensible Device Controller Interface)
– Updated EFI Shell tool ‘Ekfpci’ to V2.4
– Added support for further Host Bridge IDs for EKF EFI Shell tools
– Added Setup node to control PCI Express clock gating
Setup (F2): Advanced -> PCI Configuration -> SA PCI Express Configuration -> PCI Express Clock Gating
Available options: Enabled (Default), Disabled– Added Setup node to control PCI Express power gating
Setup (F2): Advanced -> PCI Configuration -> SA PCI Express Configuration -> PCI Express Power Gating
Available options: Enabled (Default), Disabled===================================================================================================================
2024-08-09: BIOS release, Build #074 production
– Updated RST VMD driver to version 19.5.8.5786
Setup [F2]: Advanced -> Volume Management Device Configuration -> Enable VMD Controller
Available options: Disabled (Default), Enabled
If VMD is Enabled and PCIe/SATA devices are mapped to VMD, then after next Restart new Setup menu
Setup [F2]: Misc -> Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology
allows to setup a RAID volume with PCIe or SATA devices.– Added Setup support for SATA devices attached to Intel SATA controller
Setup (F2): Advanced -> SATA Configuration -> Intel SATA/RAID Configuration– Disabled some devices which were shown in Windows Device Manager with a yellow exclamation mark
– Disabled PCH PCI Express function swap by default
– Updated EFI Shell tool ‘EkfReset’ to V1.3
– Added EFI Shell tool ‘EkfCmos’
– Extended GPIO initialization
– Restructured Setup menus
===================================================================================================================
2024-04-25: BIOS release, Build #072 production
– Fixed a bug when BIOS detects a P2P bridge with HotPlug capability
EKF boards SCX-PCIE (Secondary backplane controller) and SE4-TEMPO (Quad M.2 PCIe/NVMe)
are equipped with such PCI bridges, i.e. these boards are supported now.– Added support to enable UEFI Network Stack
Setup (F2): Advanced -> Network Configuration -> UEFI Network Stack
Available options: Disabled (Default), Enabled
If set to Enabled, UEFI PXE boot over IPv4 or over IPv6 network is supported.– Added support for PXE boot (booting an OS from network)
Setup [F2]: Advanced -> Network Configuration -> EFI Network Boot
Available options: Intel Ethernet, Disabled (Default)
Supported Ethernet controllers are of type Intel i225 and i226.– Extended LED GP flashes for debug purposes
