Available as a mezzanine add-on expansion
board (aka side board) to the CCM-BOOGIE and
successor CompactPCI® CPU cards, the
CCO-CONCERT provides a number of frequently
required I/O functions. In addition, the user can
choose between several SATA and USB based
mass storage options.
The on-board HD Audio codec is useful e.g. for
passenger information systems. Analog inputs
and outputs are available from 3.5mm stereo
jacks situated in the front panel, each
individually configurable by driver software as
microphone in, line in, headphones out or line
out. As an option, a D-SUB connector provides
also S/PDIF digital audio along with additional
analog lines.
The CCO-CONCERT can be equipped with up to
three RAID0/1 capable PCIe dual channel SATA
controllers, useful for attachment of massstorage devices, either on-board mounted, or
externally (by cable or via rear I/O).
For dual screen applications (in addition to the
primary DVI connector on the CPU carrier
board), the CCO-CONCERT can be equipped
with either a SDVO to PanelLink transmitter (for
digital video output), or a SDVO to VGA DAC
(for analog video output), with both signal
types available on the secondary front panel DVI
connector.Furthermore the CCO-CONCERT is equipped
with a SIO, which provides legacy I/O ports,
such as serial (UART) and PS/2 keyboard/mouse
interfaces. Two RS-232E COM port connectors
are mounted in the front panel.
A secondary Firmware Hub can be configured
as alternate- or backup-BIOS. Another option
available is the Trusted Platform Module
according to TPM 1.2 for safety critical
applications. 
The CCO-CONCERT will be attached on top of
the CPU carrier board, and typically shares its
front panel with the host carrier (usually 8HP
front panel width in total). Interconnection
between the CCO-CONCERT side board and the
CPU carrier card is achieved by up to four
expansion connectors, which comprise the PCIe
(PCI Express x 4), SDVO (serial digital video),
SATA/USB and LPC (Low Pin Count legacy)
interfaces.
As a popular mass storage solution, the
CCO-CONCERT is available with an 2.5-inch onboard SATA SSD (solid state drive) or HDD (hard
disk).
Another mass storage option is the mezzanine
module C20-SATA, which accommodates one
or two 2.5-inch SATA drives (RAID0/1 option).
Alternatively, the C42-SATA mezzanine module
accommodates a 1.8-inch SSD, as well rugged
as affordable.
The C40-SCFA mezzanine module provides a
CompactFlash socket, which is controlled by a
SATA to PATA bridge.
Optionally, up to three low profile USB Flash
drive modules (2.00mm pitch connector) can
be accommodated, 2 x top and 1 x bottom
mount. USB SSD modules are available for the
industrial temperature range from several
vendors.
For even more front panel I/O, the C32-FIO
mezzanine board can be mounted on top of
the CCO-CONCERT, offering another two
RS-232 COM ports, 2 x USB, and a Mini-DIN
connector with KB/MS. This solution would
result in a 12HP front panel.
The CCO-CONCERT can be optionally provided
with J1/J2 rear I/O connectors for custom
specific system solutions
