Embedded Controller AEC-6523

1.1 Introduction

AAEON introduces the newest product in the Boxer series, AEC-6523, which utilizes the Intel

Atom™ N2600 processor: this embedded controller expands its graphics performance greatly with the newest generation of Atom™ processors.

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 mean to transmit product information to consumers. System integrators will need a multifunction device to satisfy commercial needs for such public advertising.

The AEC-6523 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

SubCompact Board AEC-6523

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. 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-6523 CMOS memory has an integral lithium battery backup for data retention. You have to replace the battery when it finally runs down.

3.2 AMI BIOS Setup

AMI BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off. Entering Setup Power on the computer and press <Del> or <F2> immediately. This will allow you to enter Setup.

A.1 Programming

AEC-6523 utilizes the ITE 8783 chipset as its watchdog timer controller. Below are the procedures to complete its configuration and the AAEON initial watchdog timer program is also attached based on which you can develop customized program to fit your application.

Configuring Sequence Description

After the hardware reset or power-on reset, the ITE 8783 enters the normal mode with all logical devices disabled except KBC. The initial state (enable bit ) of this logical device (KBC) is determined by the state of pin 121 (DTR1#) at the falling edge of the system reset during power-on reset.

There are three steps to complete the configuration setup: (1) Enter the MB PnP Mode; (2) Modify the data of configuration re gisters; (3)

Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer A-2

Embedded Controller AEC-6523

Exit the MB PnP Mode. Undesired result may occur if the MB PnP Mode is not exited normally.

(1) Enter the MB PnP Mode

To enter the MB PnP Mode, four special I/O write operations are to be performed during Wait for Key st ate. To ensure the initial state of the key-check logic, it is necessary to p erform four write opera-tio ns to the Special Address port (2EH). Two different enter keys are provided to select configuration ports (2Eh/2Fh) of the next step.

(2) Modify the Data of the Regist ers

All configuration registers can be accessed after entering the MB PnP 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 MB PnP Mode

Set bit 1 of the configure control register (Index=02h) to 1 to exit the MB PnP Mode.

WatchDog Ti mer Configuration Registers

Configure Control (Index=02h)

This register is write only. Its values are not sticky; that is to say, a hardware reset will automatically clear the bits, and does not require the software to clear them.
