Introduction
This manual is designed to give you information on the EI5CM embedded board. It is divided into the following sections:
The EI5CM is an Embedded Little Board based on Cyrix CX5530 chipset and is designed for a Cyrix MediaGXLV Processor.
With one memory bank on board, up to 128MB of SDRAM can be configured.
The Cyrix MediaGXLV™ MMX™ enhanced processor is an advanced 64-bit x86 compatible processor
offering high performance, fully accelerated 2D graphics, a 64-bit synchronous DRAM controller and a
PCI bus controller, all on a single chip. In addition to the advanced CPU features, a full-function graphics
accelerator provides pixel processing and rendering functions.
A separate on-chip video buffer enables >30FPS MPEG1 video playback when used together with the
Cx5530™ chip. Graphics and system memory accesses are supported by a tightly-couple synchronous
DRAM (SDRAM memory controller. This tightly couple memory sybsystem eliminates the need for an
external L2 cache.
The MediaGXLV processor includes Cyrix’s Virtual System Architecture™ (VSA™) enabling XpressGRAPHICS™ and XpressAUDIO™ as well as generic emulation capabilities. Software handler routines
for XpressGRAPHICS and XpressAUDIO are included in the BIOS and provide compatible VGA and
16-bit industry standard audio emulation. XpressAUDIO technology eliminates much of the hardware
traditionally associated with audio functions.

BIOS Introduction
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your system’s ROM supports Intel/Cyrix/AMD/IDT processors in a
standard IBM-AT compatible I/O system. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for standard devices such as disk
drives, parallel port and serial ports. It also adds virus and password protection, as well as special support for detailed finetuning of the chipset controlling the entire system.
BIOS Setup
The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of
the system stores the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the Award BIOS is immediately activated. Pressing the
<Del> key immediately allows you to enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the <Del> key, POST (Power
On Self Test) will continue with its test routines, thus preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup,
restart the system by pressing the ”Reset” button or simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can
also restart by turning the system Off and back On again. The following message will appear on the screen:
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select, the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys
to change entries, <F1> for help and <Esc> to quit.
When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on the screen. The Main Menu
allows you to select from various setup functions and exit choices.

information about the currently highlighted item in the list.
NOTE
:
If your computer cannot boot after making and
saving system changes with Setup, the Award BIOS
supports an override to the CMOS settings that
resets your system to its default.
We strongly recommend that you avoid making any
changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have
been carefully chosen by both Award and your
system manufacturer to provide the absolute
maximum performance and reliability.

Standard CMOS Setup
“Standard CMOS Setup” choice allows you to record some basic hardware configurations in your
computer system and set the system clock and error handling. If the Embedded Little Board is already
installed in a working system, you will not need to select this option. You will need to run the Standard
CMOS option, however, if you change your system hardware configurations, the onboard battery fails, or
the configuration stored in the CMOS memory was lost or damaged.

PM Events
The I/O events prevent the system from entering a power saving mode or can awaken the system from such a mode. When an
I/O device wants to gain the attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur. When the operating
system is ready to respond to the request, it interrupts itself and performs the service. The default value is Off. When set On,
activity will neither prevent the system from going into a power management mode nor awaken it. The IRQ section sets the
wake-up call of the system. If activity is detected from any enabled IRQ channels in the left-hand group, the system wakes up
from suspended mode.
