1.1 Introduction

The newest Boxer series AEC-6511 has been introduced by AAEON and it utilizes Intel

Atom™ processor. In this era of information explosion, the advertising of consumer products will not be confined to the family television, but will also spread to high-traffic public areas, like department stores, the bus, transportation station, the supermarket etc. The advertising marketing industry will resort to every conceivable means to transmit product information to consumers. System integrators will need a multifunction device to satisfy commercial needs for such public advertising.

The AEC-6511 is designed for indoor environments due to the following reasons; first, the AEC-6511 offers low power consumption system that while operating in ambient temperatures ranging from -20° to 55°C. The MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) rating states that the AEC-6511 can operate up to 70,000 hours at 40°C ambient temperature, which indicates its careful and long-life design.

The AEC-6511 is a standalone high performance controller designed for long-life operation and with high reliability. It can replace traditional methods and become the mainstream controller for the multimedia entertainment market.

BIOS Setup

Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 3-1

Embedded Controller AEC-6511

3.1 System Test and Initialization

These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines encounter an error during the tests, you will either hear a few short beeps or see an error message on the screen. There are two kinds of errors: fatal and non-fatal. The system can usually continue the boot up sequence with non-fatal errors. Non-fatal error messages usually appear on the screen along with the following instructions:

Press <F1> to RESUME

Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue the boot up sequence.

System configuration verification

These routines check the current system configuration against the values stored in the CMOS memory. If they do not match, the program outputs an error message. You will then need to run the BIOS setup program to set the configuration information in memory.

There are three situations in which you will need to change the CMOS settings:

1. You are starting your system for the first time

2. You have changed the hardware attached to your system

3. The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration information has been erased.

The AEC-6511 CMOS memory has an integral lithium battery backup for data retention. However, you will need to replace the complete unit when it finally runs down.

PC Health Status

This menu allows you to set the shutdown temperature for your system.

Load Fail-Safe Defaults

Use this menu to load the BIOS default values for the minimal/stable performance for your system to operate.

Load Optimized Defaults

Use this menu to load the BIOS default values that are factory settings for optimal performance system operations. While AWARD has designated the custom BIOS to maximize performance, the factory has the right to change these defaults to meet their needs.

Set Supervisor/User Password

Use this menu to set Supervisor/User Passwords.

Save and Exit Setup

Save CMOS value changes to CMOS and exit setup.

Exit Without Saving Abandon all CMOS value changes and exit setup.

A.1 Programming

AEC-6511 utilizes W83627DHG-P chipset as its watchdog timer controller.

Below are the procedures to complete its configuration and the AAEON intial watchdog timer program is also attached based on which you can develop customized program to fit your application.

ree steps to complete the configuration setup: (1) Enter the W83627DHG config Mode (2) Modify the data of configuration registers

Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer A-2

Embedded Controller AEC-6511

(3) Exit the W83627DHG config Mode. Undesired result may

occur if the config Mode is not exited normally.

(1) Enter the W83627DHG config Mode

To enter the W83627DHG config Mode, two special I/O write operations are to be performed during Wait for Key state. To ensure the initial state of the key-check logic, it is necessary to perform two write operations to the Special Address port (2EH). The different enter keys are provided to select configuration ports (2Eh/2Fh) of the next step.

Address Port Data Port 87h,87h: 2Eh 2Fh

(2) Modify the Data of the Registers

All configuration registers can be accessed after entering the config Mode. Before accessing a selected register, the content of Index 07h must be changed to the LDN to which the register belongs, except some Global registers.

(3) Exit the W83627DHG config Mode

The exit key is provided to select configuration ports (2Eh/2Fh) of the next step.
