2.2 Software Support / Hardware Abstraction
The Kontron sA3874i Module is supported by Kontron BSPs (Board Support Package). The first sA3874i BSP targets
Linux support and is available under Kontron part number xxx-xxx-00. BSPs for other operating systems are
planned. Check with your Kontron contact for the latest BSPs.
This manual goes into a lot of detail on I/O particulars – information is provided on exactly how the various ULP-
COM edge fingers tie into the Texas Instruments ARM SoC and to other Module hardware. This is provided for
reference and context. Most of the I/O particulars are covered and abstracted in the BSP and it should generally
not be necessary for sA3874i users to deal with I/O at the register level.
