Embedded Controller AEC-6860
1.1 Introduction
Due to the growing popularity from the IPC market, the newest
Boxer series AEC-6860 has been introduced by AAEON.
Compared with the AEC-6850, it is an advanced version because it
utilizes an Intel
®
Core 2 Duo processor without a fan.
New Innovation for Entertainment Multimedia Domain
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.
Being a control center, the AEC-6860 is suitable for public
multimedia entertainment services. Equipped with a high efficiency
heat conduction mechanism.
The AEC-6860 is compact in size but has attractive and flexible
extension capabilities such as 4 USB2.0 ports, VGA, TV-out, DVI,
Audio, 4 COM ports.

Embedded Controller AEC-6860
Stable Design for Rugged Environment
The AEC-6860 is designed for rugged environments due to the
following reasons; first, it can withstand tough vibration testing up to
5G rms. With the anti-vibration hard drive device option, the
AEC-6860 can be used in high vibration environments. In addition,
the AEC-6860 offers low power consumption system that while
operating in ambient temperatures ranging from -15° to 60°C.
The AEC-6860 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.

Embedded Controller AEC-6860
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-6860 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.

Appendix A Programmin g the Watchdog T imer A-1
Embedded Controller AEC-6860
A.1 Programming
AEC-6860 utilizes ITE 8712 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.
Configuring Sequence Description
After the hardware reset or power-on reset, the ITE 8712 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
Appendix A Programmin g the Watchdog T imer A-2
Embedded Controller AEC-6860
registers; (3) 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 state. To ensure the
initial state of the key-check logic, it is necessary to perform
four write operations 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 Registers
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.

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.
