Chapter 2 H/W Information
This chapter describes the installation of ACM-B6360. At first, it shows the
Function diagram and the layout of ACM-B6360. It then describes the unpacking
information which you should read carefully, as well as the jumper/switch settings
for the ACM-B6360 configuration.
Note1: PCIex1 lane 8 (PCIE_TX7+, PCIE_TX7-, PCIE_RX7+, PCIE_RX7-) is for
onboard GbE LAN using.
Note2: DO NOT connect VBAT_RTC to GND directly, it may cause board damaging.

2.4. Specifying the boot BIOS (CN_HDR1 setting)
he COM Express module/Type6 typically supports the BIOS disable signal
(BIOS_DIS1# and BIOS_DIS0#) and SPI_CS# signal. The BIOS disable signals are
set on the carrier board.
The combination of these signals is used to define booting from module SPI or carrier
board SPI/FWH. Below table shows the signals and jumper settings on the CN_HDR1
headers.

Chapter 4 Driver And Utility
Installation
4.1. Driver CD Interface Introduction
Acrosser provides the a driver CD, which includes the drivers, utilities,
applications and documents. For Windows environment, it can be guided by
the setup program; for Linux environment, the related files can be found at
folder “ACMB6360\Linux”.
Once putting the CD into the optical disk drive, it will run automatically . The driver
CD will also detect the MB information to see if they are matched. The following error
messages appear if you get an incorrect driver CD.
It indicates that the board information is not available.
It indicates that the program gets wrong board information.

Before launching this utility, users have to install the ‘Acrosser Driver’ in advance. The
system may ask for installing other libraries. You can find the libraries on the
‘Application’ page also.
Due to Windows XP is older operating system, it don’t include AHCI driver.
If you want to install Windows XP operating system in the AHCI mode, please
follow the steps listed below. ( reference ‘F6Readme.txt’ from folder of the
WinXP32_RAID Driver)
Double click this item to open the folder of the WinXP32_RAID Driver. Users need
this driver package if they install the Windows XP in the AHCI mode.
55
Prepare a USB floppy drive and a floppy disk. Copy all the files in this folder
to the floppy disk.
In the BIOS setup, enable the AHCI mode of the hard drive.
56
Connect the floppy drive to the system before installing the Windows XP
operating system. Make sure the floppy disk is inserted.
Boot the system with the installation CD. Follow the instructions on the
screen. As soon as the screen shows this information, press ‘F6’.
When the screen shows this information, press ‘S’.
57
When the screen shows a list of available drivers, choose the ‘Mobile
Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller’.

Chapter 5 Software Installation and
Programming Guide
5.1 API List and Descriptions
5.1.1 GPIO and Watchdog
5.1.1.1 Overview
This model provides both a GPIO interface and a Watchdog timer. Users can use
the GPIO and Watchdog APIs to configure and to access the GPIO interface and the
Watchdog timer. The GPIO has four input pins and four output pins. The Watchdog
timer can be set to 1~255 seconds. Setting the timer to zero disables the timer. The
remaining seconds of the timer to reboot can be read from the timer.
5.1.1.2 GPIO(Linux)
1. Syntax:
Get_gpio_status(int pin)
Description: Get the status of GPIO input pins and output pins status.
Parameters:
This function takes a pointer to an unsigned char variable as the parameter.
The pin0 ~ 3 is the status of the output pins. The pin4 ~ pin7 is the status of the
input pins.
Return Value: 1:HIGH, 0:LOW.
2. Syntax:
Set_gpio(int pin, int value)
Description: Set the status of GPIO Output value.
Parameters:
61
Set value 0 is Low, 1 is High
Return Value: If the function sets the values successfully, it returns 0 or -1, any
other returned value stands for error.
5.1.1.3 GPIO (Windows)
1. Syntax:
getChLevel(u8 *val)
Description: Get the status of GPIO input pins and output pins, and put the value
at *val.
Parameters:
This function takes a pointer to an unsigned char variable as the parameter.
The bit0 ~ bit3 in the pointed variable ‘*val’ is the status of the output pins. The
bit4 ~ bit7 in the pointed variable ‘*val’ is the status of the input pins.
Return Value: If the function gets the value successfully, it returns 0 or -1, any
other returned value stands for error.
2. Syntax:
Set_gpio(int pin, int value)
Description: Set the status of GPIO Output value.
Parameters:
Set value 0 is Low, 1 is High
5.1.1.4 Watchdog (Liunx)
1. Syntax:
Wdt_start(Void)
Description: This function of the watchdog time to start counter.
Parameters: The parameter ‘val’ is the value to set to watchdog timer register. The
range is 1~ 255 .
Return Value: None.
62
2. Syntax:
Wdt_stop(Void)
Description: Any time call this function will stop Watchdog Timer.
Parameters: None.
Return Value: None.
3. Syntax:
Get_wdt_count()
Description: This function read the value of the watchdog time counter.
Parameters: None.
Return Value: This function returns the value of the time counter.
5.1.1.5 Watchdog (Windows)
1. Syntax:
setWtdTimer(u8 value)
Description: This function of the watchdog time to start counter.
