1.1 Introduction

AAEON introduces the newest product in for entry level fanless
boxer, AEC-VS01, which utilizes the Intel® Atom™ D2550
processor and 4-channel PoE ports for video surveillance
applications. With compact, and aluminum case easily for
customers install in the customer's own housing, or as a
stand-alone application where space is limited and the environment
harsh.
With PoE(Power Over Ethernet ) function, customer can easy install
their IP Camera anywhere which cable install limitation issue and
extra cost for system maintenance.
Also test by 3rd party surveillance software, customers can remote
management and maintenance their system.

The AEC-VS01 supports a rich I/O capability, including four serial
ports, four USB 2.0 ports, digital I/Os, expand storage, and 4
channel PoE ports, which make AEC-VS01 ideal to integrate,
deploy, and manage for system development, and further
accelerate time to video surveillance market.

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

Chapter 1 General Information 1- 2

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-VS01 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.

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-VS01 CMOS memory has an integral lithium battery
backup for data retention. However, you will need to replace the
complete unit when it 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-VS01 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 registers; (3)

Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer A-2

Embedded Controller

A E C - V S 0 1

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 opera-tions
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.

WatchDog Timer 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.
