Chapter 2 Product Overview

This introduction presents general information about the EPIC Architecture and the ReadyBoard 620 Single Board Computer (SBC). After reading this chapter you should understand:

• EPIC Architecture

• ReadyBoard 620 architecture

• ReadyBoard 620 features

• Major components

• Connectors

• Specifications

EPIC Architecture

In 2004, five companies collaborated to fill the void between the EBX size and the PC/104 size with a new industry standard form factor (115 mm x 165 mm, or 4.5" x 6.5") called “Embedded Platform for Industrial Computing™ (EPIC).” The EPIC standard principally defines physical size, mounting hole pattern, and power connector locations. It does not specify processor type or electrical characteristics. There are recommended connector placements for serial, parallel, Ethernet, graphics, and memory expansion. This embedded SBC standard ensures that embedded system OEMs can standardize their designs and that full featured embedded computing solutions can be designed into even more space constrained environments than ever before.

The EPIC standard boasts the same highly flexible and adaptable system expansion as EBX, allowing easy and modular addition of functions such as Firewire or wireless networking not usually contained in standard product offerings. The EBX system expansion is based on popular existing industry standards, PC/104™, PC/104-Plus™, and PCI-104™. PC/104 places the ISA bus on compact 3.6" x 3.8" modules with selfstacking capability. PC/104-Plus adds the power of a PCI bus to PC/104 while retaining the basic form factor, but PCI-104 expansion cards only provide the PCI bus to the PC/104 form factor. Using PC/104 expansion cards, an EPIC board can be easily adapted to meet a variety of embedded applications. See

Figure 2-1.

The EPIC standard also brings stability to the mid-sized embedded board market and offers OEMs assurance that a wide range of products will be available from multiple sources – now and in the future. The EPIC specification is freely available to all interested companies, and may be used without licenses or royalties.

Chapter 2 Product Overview

Product Description

The ReadyBoard 620 is a mid-sized, EPIC-compatible, affordable, high quality single-board system, which contains all the component subsystems of a PC/AT PCI motherboard plus the equivalent of several PCI expansion boards. The ReadyBoard 620 is based on the AMD Geode™ LX 800 processor. This processor and the matching chip set give designers a complete integration solution with a high performance embedded processor based on the EPIC form factor.

Each ReadyBoard 620 incorporates an AMD Geode CS5536 chipset for the Graphics and Memory Hub (the Northbridge integrated in the CPU) and I/O Hub (Southbridge) controllers. The Winbond Electronics Corp. Super I/O controller, W83627HF, and Fintek LPC controller add I/O functions. Together, the AMD, Winbond, and Fintek chips provide four serial ports, a floppy or EPP/ECP parallel port, four USB 2.0 ports, PS/2 keyboard and mouse interfaces, an Ultra/DMA 33/66 IDE controller supporting two IDE drives and one Compact Flash socket, which provides CRT and LVDS/TTL flat panel video interfaces, and an audio AC’97 CODEC on the board. The ReadyBoard 620 also supports two 10/100BaseT Ethernet interfaces, and up to 1 GB of non-ECC DDR RAM in a single 200-pin SODIMM socket.

The ReadyBoard 620 can be expanded through the PC/104 and PC/104-Plus expansion buses to accept PC/104 and PC/104-Plus cards that offer compact, self-stacking, modular expandability for additional system functions. The PCI bus operates at 33 MHz clock speed and if included as an option, the ISA bus operates at 8 MHz clock speed. See Figure 2-1.

Among the many enhancements provided on the ReadyBoard 620 to ensure system operation and application versatility are a watchdog timer, serial console (remote access) support, battery-free boot, customizable splash logo screen, on-board high-density Compact Flash socket, and ACPI support for sleep states.

The ReadyBoard 620 is particularly well suited to embedded applications by meeting the size, power consumption, temperature range, quality, and reliability demands of embedded system applications. It can be stacked with ADLINK MiniModules™ or other PCI-104 compliant expansion boards, or it can be used as a powerful computing engine. The ReadyBoard 620 only requires a single +5V power supply.

Floppy/Parallel Interface

The Super I/O controller (W83627HF) provides the floppy controller and the parallel port controller. The floppy controller and the parallel port controller share the same output connector (J18) on the board and the device selection is made in the BIOS Setup Utility.

• Floppy port controller only supports one floppy drive, in the standard formats, such as 360 kB, 720 kB,

1.2 MB, 1.44 MB, or 2.88 MB drives.

• Parallel port controller supports standard parallel, bi-directional, ECP and EPP protocols.

NOTE Due to the multiplexed nature of the signals for the floppy and parallel

ports, you can only connect one of these devices at a time. Refer to Chapter 4, BIOS Setup Utility later in this manual to enter the BIOS Setup for selecting the floppy or parallel device. A reboot is necessary for the change of BIOS settings to take affect.

Serial Interfaces

The ReadyBoard 620 supports four independent serial ports, using two separate chips. The Super I/O controller (W83627HF) provides serial ports 1 and 2 through the Serial A DB9 connectors (J6A/B), and the I/O Hub (CS5536) and LPC I/O controller (F81216D) provide serial ports 3 and 4 through Serial B header (J5). The four serial ports support the following features:

• Four individual 16550-compatible UARTs

• Programmable word length, stop bits and parity

• 16-bit programmable baud rate generator

• Interrupt generator

• Loop-back mode

• Four individual 16-bit FIFOs

• Serial A supports ports 1 and 2 using the Super I/O Controller

♦

Serial Port 1 (COM1) supports RS-232 and full modem support

♦

Serial Port 2 (COM2) supports RS-232 and full modem support

• Serial B supports ports 3 and 4 using the I/O Hub (Southbridge)

♦

Serial Port 3 (COM3) supports RS-232 and RS-485/RS-422 and full modem support

♦

Serial Port 4 (COM4) supports RS-232 and RS-485/RS-422 and modem support

NOTE The RS-232 and RS-485/RS-422 modes are selected in BIOS Setup Utility under the

submenu, Super I/O Configuration in the Advanced menu screen for Serial Ports 3 (COM3) and 4 (COM4). However, the RS-232 mode is the default (Standard) for any serial port.

RS-485 mode termination is selected with jumper JP6, pins 1-2 (COM3), and pins 3-4 (COM4), when the RS-485 mode is selected in BIOS Setup Utility.

To implement the two-wire RS-485 mode on either serial port, you must tie the equivalent pins together for each port.

For example: on Serial Port 3, tie pin 3 (RX3-) to 5 (TX3-) and pin 4 (TX3+) to 6 (RX3+) at the Serial B interface connector (J5). As an alternate, tie pin 2 to pin 3 and pin 7 to pin 8 at the DB9 serial connector for Serial Port 3. See Figure 3-1. Refer to the following table for the specific pins of the Serial B interface. The RS-422 mode uses a four-wire interface and does not require tying pins together, but you must select RS-485 in BIOS Setup Utility.

USB Interfaces

The I/O Hub (CS5536) provides the USB solution for both legacy OHCI controllers and EHCI controller (USB 2.0) support. The I/O Hub (Southbridge) contains port-routing logic that determines which controller (OHCI or EHCI) handles the USB data signals. The PC style (or Standard) connector (J13A/B) provides two of the four USB ports (USB0 and USB1). The other two USB ports share a single 10-pin header (J17A/B) on the board.

USB 2.0 Support

The I/O Hub contains an Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) compliant host controller, which supports up to 4 high-speed USB 2.0 Specification compliant root ports. The higher speed USB 2.0 specification allows data transfers up to 480 Mbps using the same pins as the 4 Full-speed/Low-speed USB OHCI ports. The I/O Hub port-routing logic determines which of the controllers (OHCI or EHCI) processes the USB signals. The following list provides some of the ReadyBoard 620’s EHCI features.

• One EHCI host controller for all four USB ports on connectors (J17A/B, and/or J13A/B)

• Support for USB v2.0 Specification

• Over-current fuses, located on the board, where USB0 and USB1 share a single fuse (F3) and USB2 and

USB3 share a single fuse (F2).

Legacy USB Support

The I/O Hub supports two USB Open Host Controller Interfaces (OHCI) and each Host Controller includes a root hub with two USB ports each, for a total of 4 USB ports. The USB Legacy features implemented on the USB ports include the following:

• One root hub and two USB ports on connector (J17A/B)

• One root hub and two USB ports on connector (J13A/B)

• Supports USB v.1.1 OHCI with integrated physical layer transceivers

• Supports improved arbitration latency for OHCI controllers

• OHCI controllers support Analog Front End (AFE) embedded cell instead of USB I/O buffers to allow

for USB high-speed signaling rates

• Over-current fuses, located on the board, are used on all four USB ports

Miscellaneous

Utility Interface

• Power-On – This control signal is provided externally through a switch by connecting ground to pin 1

on the Utility connector (J16).

• Reset Switch – This signal is provided externally through a switch by connecting ground to pin 3 on the

Utility connector (J16). This signal line is shared with Reset Switch (SW1).

• PC Beep Speaker – The output signals from the I/O Hub (CS5536) and the Super I/O (W83627HF) are

fed to pin 5 of the Utility connector (J16) through an OR circuit, and in conjunction with the +5V (pin

4), drives an external PC Beep speaker. The PC Beep speaker signal from the I/O Hub is also fed to the on-board Audio CODEC to provide a PC Beep signal for the Line Out connections.

Reset Switch

The reset switch (SW1), located on the board edge, provides an internal reset signal (momentary ground) to the ReadyBoard 620. The reset switch shares the reset line with pin 3 of the Utility interface (J16).

User GPIO Signals

The ReadyBoard 620 provides eight GPIO pins for custom use, and the signals are routed to the J4 connector. ADLINK has provided sample applications showing how to use the GPIO pins in the Miscellaneous Source Code Examples on the ReadyBoard 620 Support Software DVD.

For more information about the GPIO pin operation, refer to the datasheet specifications or Programming Manual for the Super I/O (W83627HF) controller at:

Infrared (IrDA) Port

The Infrared Data Association (IrDA) signals pass through a two-way communications header for an external IrDA device using infrared as the transmission medium. There are two basic infrared implementations provided; the Hewlett-Packard Serial Infrared (HPSIR) and the Amplitude Shift Keyed Infrared (ASKIR) methods. HPSIR is a serial implementation of infrared developed by Hewlett-Packard. The IrDA (HPSIR and ASKIR) signals share the same header as the IrDA model select signals. These signals are operating system (OS) and/or application dependent and are based on the user’s application, but can be configured and enabled in the BIOS Setup Utility.

The HPSIR method allows serial communication at baud rates up to 115k baud. Each word is sent serially beginning with a zero value start bit. A zero is sent when a single infrared pulse is sent at the beginning of the serial bit time. A one is sent when no infrared pulse is sent during the bit time.

The Amplitude Shift Keyed infrared (ASKIR) allows serial communication at baud rates up to 19.2 k baud. Each word is sent serially beginning with a zero value start bit. A zero is sent when a 500 kHz waveform is sent for the duration of the serial bit time. A one is sent when no transmission is sent during the serial bit time.

Both of these methods require an understanding of the timing diagrams provided in the Super I/O controller (W83627HF) specifications available from the manufacture’s web site and referenced earlier in this manual. For more information, refer to the Winbond W83627HF specifications and the Infrared Data Association web site at http://www.irda.org

NOTE For faster speeds and infrared applications not covered in this brief description, refer

to the W83627HF chip specifications by Winbond Electronics Corp.

System Management Bus (SMBus)

The I/O Hub (Southbridge) chip (CS5536) contains both a host and slave SMBus port; but the host cannot access the slave internally. The slave port allows an external master access to the I/O Hub through connector (J20). The master contained in the I/O Hub is used to communicate with the SODIMM EPROM, Super I/O, Ethernet 1 and 2, and the clock generator. Table 3-13 lists the device name and corresponding reserved binary addresses on the SMBus.

Real Time Clock (RTC)

The I/O Hub contains a Real Time Clock (RTC), and an external Lithium Battery (B1) provides power for the RTC and the CMOS RAM through connector BT1. The CMOS RAM is backed up with a Lithium Battery. If the battery is not present or defective, the BIOS has a battery-free boot option to complete the boot process.

Oops! Jumper (BIOS Recovery)

The Oops! jumper is provided in the event the user selected BIOS settings prevent the system from booting, but does not reset CMOS or change the Time & Date in the BIOS. Refer to the CMOS Normal/Clear jumper (JP7) to reset the BIOS and change the Time & Date.

By using the Oops! jumper, you can prevent the current BIOS settings in Flash from being loaded, forcing the use of the default BIOS settings. Connect the DTR pin to the RI pin on Serial port 1 (COM 1) prior to applying power to prevent the current BIOS settings from loading. After booting with the Oops! jumper in place, remove the Oops! jumper and go into BIOS Setup Utility. Change the desired BIOS settings, or select the default settings, and save the changes before rebooting the system.

To convert the Serial 1 interface to an Oops! jumper, short together the DTR (4) and RI (9) pins on the Serial Port 1 DB9 connector as shown in Figure 3-2.

Temperature Monitoring

The ReadyBoard 620 performs CPU temperature monitoring through an integrated thermal diode in the AMD CS5536 chipset. The CPU temperature monitor appears in the BIOS under the Hardware Health Configuration selection of the Advanced menu.

NOTE The ReadyBoard 620 CPU requires a heatsink.

30 Reference Manual ReadyBoard 620

Page 37

Chapter 3 Hardware

Remote Access (Serial Console)

The ReadyBoard 620 supports the Remote Access (serial console or console redirection) feature. The remote access (serial console) can be accessed by an ANSI-compatible serial terminal, or the equivalent terminal emulation software running on another system. This can be very useful when setting up the BIOS on a production line for systems that are not connected to a keyboard and display.

Serial Console Setup

The serial console feature is implemented by connecting a standard null modem cable or a modified serial cable (or “Hot Cable”) between one of the serial ports, such as Serial 1 (J6A), and the serial terminal or a PC with communications software. The BIOS Setup Utility controls the serial console settings on the ReadyBoard 620. Refer to Chapter 4, BIOS Setup Utility to set the serial console option, using a serial terminal, or PC with communications software.

Hot (Serial) Cable

To convert a standard serial cable to a Hot Cable, certain pins must be shorted together at the Serial port connector or on the DB9 connector. For example, short the RTS (7) and RI (9) on the respective DB9 port connector as shown in Figure 3-3.

Watchdog Timer (WDT)

The watchdog timer (WDT) restarts the system if an error or mishap occurs, allowing the system to recover from the mishap, even though the error condition may still exist. Possible problems include failure to boot properly, loss of control by the application software, failure of an interface device, unexpected conditions on the bus, or other hardware or software malfunctions.

The WDT (watchdog timer) can be used both during the boot process and during normal system operation.

• During the boot process – If the operating system fails to boot in the time interval set in the BIOS, the

system will reset.

Enable the WDT in the Boot Settings menu of BIOS Setup Utility. Set the WDT for a time-out interval in seconds, between 1 and 255, in one second increments. Ensure you allow enough time for the operating system (OS) to boot. The OS or application must tickle (reset) the WDT before the timer expires. This can be done by accessing the hardware directly or through a BIOS call.

• During System Operation – An application can set up the WDT hardware through a BIOS call, or by

accessing the hardware directly. Some ADLINK Board Support Packages provide an API to the WDT. The application must tickle (reset) the WDT before the timer expires or the system will be reset. The BIOS implements interrupt 15 function 0x0C3h to manipulate the WDT.

• Watchdog Code examples – ADLINK has provided source code examples on the ReadyBoard 620

Support Software DVD illustrating how to control the WDT. The code examples can be easily copied to your development environment to compile and test the examples, or make any desired changes before compiling. Refer to the WDT Readme file in the Miscellaneous Source Code Examples on the ReadyBoard 620 Support Software DVD.

Power Interfaces

The ReadyBoard 620 uses various voltages on board, but only one voltage is required externally (+5 volts) through the external connector, which uses a 4-pin header with 0.200" (5.08 mm) pitch. The optional +12V is also provided on the input connector as a pass through voltage but is not used on the board except for CPU Fan, LVDS power, PCI bus, and optional ISA bus power. All other on board voltages, including the CPU core voltages, are derived from the externally supplied +5 volts DC +/- 5%.

Power In

Table 3-15 lists the pin numbers and signals for the Power In interface header, J2.

CAUTION This table matches the board even though the +5V and +12V are

swapped in comparison to typical AT power supply cables.

Table 3-15. Power In Interface Pin/Signal Descriptions (J2)

Pin # Signal Description

GND Ground

+12V This pass through +12 voltage is primarily for PCI bus power, CPU fan, and LCD

power (may also be backlight power).

Note: The shaded areas denote power or ground.

Power On

The signals on this connector allow the ATX power supply to be turned off (soft off) from the ReadyBoard 620 by operating system (OS) control. If you use a non-ATX power supply, you will not have the soft off feature for sleep states normally provided by ATX power supplies.

Chapter 3 Hardware

Power and Sleep States

The following information only applies if an ATX power supply is used to provide power to the ReadyBoard 620. If a non-ATX power supply is used, then the ReadyBoard 620 is only controlled by the Power-On/Off switch on the power supply and the various sleep states are not available. The sleep states are OS dependent and not available if your OS does not support power management based on the ACPI standard.

Power On Switch

The Power On switch turns on the ReadyBoard 620 and its attached power supply to fully awake conditions, if you are using an ATX power supply. Normally, if the operating system (OS) supports sleep states, the OS will turn off the ReadyBoard and its power supply during the OS shut down process. If the OS supports sleep states, the Power On switch typically will also transition the ReadyBoard and its power supply between fully Powered On states, various sleep states depending on the OS control setting, and fully Powered Off states. If the OS does not support sleep states, then the Power On switch only turns power on or off to the ReadyBoard 620.

An OS supporting ACPI, typically allows the Power On switch to be configured through a user interface. The Power On switch for the ReadyBoard 620 is provided externally by connecting a momentary switch between pin 1 and pin 2 on the Utility connector (J16). The Power On signal occurs when ground is placed on pin 1 of J16.

Sleep States (ACPI)

The ReadyBoard 620 supports the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) standard, which is a key component of certain Operating Systems’ (OSs’) power management. The supported features (sleep states) listed here are only available when an ACPI-compliant OS is used for the operating system, such as Windows 2000/XP. The term “sleep” state refers to a low latency (reduced power consumption) state, which can be re-started (awakened) restoring full operation to the ReadyBoard 620.

If a computer is in one of the various sleep states, the computer appears to be off as indicated by such things as no display on the connected monitor and no activity for the connected floppy drive, CD-ROM, or hard drives. Normally, when a computer is in one of the various sleep states and it detects certain activity (i.e. power switch, mouse, keyboard, or certain types of LAN activity), it returns to a fully operational state.

NOTE The ReadyBoard 620 supports various wake-up activities, including the Power

On switch to wake the ReadyBoard 620 from a powered down state, such as Standby (S1), Hibernate (S4) and Power Off (S5).

The ReadyBoard 620 supports four ACPI power states, depending on the operating system used and its ability to manage sleep states. Typically, the Power On switch is used to wake up from a sleep state, or transition from one state to another, but this is dependent on the OS and the settings in BIOS Setup.

• 1st state is normal Power On (S0).

♦

To go to a fully powered on state, the ReadyBoard 620 must either be powered Off (S5), or in a sleep state (S1 or S4), and then the Power On switch is pressed for less than 4 seconds (default).

♦

The ReadyBoard 620 can transition from this state (S0) to the various states described below, depending on the power management capability of the OS and how it is programmed.

• 2nd state is a standby state (S1).

In this state there are very few internal operations taking place, except for the internal RTC (real time clock), the Power On LED, and the contents of RAM. This includes no activity for the CPU, CD-ROM, or hard disk drives. The ReadyBoard 620 appears to be off except for the Power On LED.

♦

Normally, to enter this sleep state, the ReadyBoard 620 must be fully powered on (S0) and the OS transitions the ReadyBoard into this standby state (S1) under user control.

ReadyBoard 620 Reference Manual 33

Page 40

Chapter 3 Hardware

♦

To exit this sleep state, typically the Power On switch is used to wake up the ReadyBoard 620 to restore full operation, including the Power On LED. Typically, pressing the Power On switch for less than 4 seconds (default) will restore full operation.

• 3rd state is a hibernate or suspend-to-disk state (S4).

In this state there are no internal operations taking place except for the Power On LED and the internal RTC. This includes no activity for the CPU, CD-ROM, or hard disk drives. The ReadyBoard 620 appears to be off, except for the Power On LED. Your system will take longer to wake up from this sleep state, however, since your data is saved to the disk, it is more secure and should not be lost in the event of a power failure.

♦

To enter a hibernate or suspend-to-disk state, the ReadyBoard 620 must be fully powered on and the OS transitions the ReadyBoard 620 into this sleep state (S4) under user control.

♦

To exit this sleep state, typically pressing the Power On switch for less than 4 seconds (default) will restore full operation.

• 4th state is the normal power off or shutdown (S5).

All activity stops except the Power On LED and the internal RTC clock, unless the power cord is removed from the AC power source.

♦

To go to a fully powered down state, the ReadyBoard 620 must either be powered on, or in a sleep state, and then the Power On switch is pressed for 4-to-6 seconds.

♦

To go to a fully powered up state, press the Power On switch for less than 4 seconds (default) and full operation is restored.

The OS may provide additional programming features to change the activation time for each state, and to shutdown or transition the ReadyBoard 620 at certain times, which depends on how the OS interface is programmed. Refer to the OS vendor’s documentation for power management under the ACPI standard.

NOTE Some operating systems use the keyboard, mouse, and Wake-on-LAN (Ethernet port)

as an activity to wake up the system from a sleep state. Refer to Table 3-17 for the conditions the ReadyBoard 620 currently supports for wake-up activity.

Wake-Up Activities

The wake-up events listed in Table 3-17 can be used to wake up the ReadyBoard 620 from any of the states mentioned.

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup Utility

Introduction

This section assumes the user is familiar with general BIOS Setup Utility and does not attempt to describe the BIOS functions. Refer to the appropriate PC reference manuals for information about the on-board ROM-BIOS software interface. If ADLINK has added to or modified the standard functions, these functions will be described.

Entering BIOS Setup (VGA Display)

To access the BIOS Setup Utility using a VGA display for the ReadyBoard 620:

1. Turn on the VGA monitor and the power supply to the ReadyBoard 620.

2. Start Setup by pressing the [Del] key, when the following message appears on the boot screen.

Press <Del> to run SETUP

NOTE If the setting for Quick Boot is set to [Enabled], you may not see this prompt

appear on screen if the monitor is too slow to display it on start-up. If this happens, press the <Del> key early in the boot sequence to enter the BIOS Setup Utility.

3. Use the <Enter> key to select the screen menus listed in the Opening BIOS screen.

4. Follow the instructions at the bottom of each screen to navigate through the selections and modify any settings.

Entering BIOS Setup (Remote Access)

Once you set up the BIOS Utility for Remote Access (serial console or console redirection) in VGA mode, entering the BIOS in the remote access mode, is very similar to the method used when entering the BIOS with a VGA display.

1. Turn on the power supply to the ReadyBoard 620 and access the BIOS Setup Utility in VGA mode.

2. Set the BIOS feature Remote Access to [Enabled] under the Advanced menu.

3. Accept the default options or make your own selections for the balance of the Remote Access fields and record your settings.

4. Ensure you select the type of remote serial terminal you will be using and record your selection.

5. Select Save Changes and Exit and then shut down the ReadyBoard 620.

6. Connect the remote serial terminal (or the PC with communications software) to the COM port you selected on the ReadyBoard 620 using a Hot Cable or a standard null-modem serial cable.

7. Turn on the remote serial terminal (or the PC with communications software) and set it to the settings you selected and recorded earlier in the BIOS Setup Utility.

COM1, 115200, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow control, and [Always] for Redirection After BIOS POST are the default settings for the ReadyBoard 620.

8. Restore power to the ReadyBoard 620 and look for the screen prompt shown below.

Press ^C to run SETUP

9. Press the CTRL–C keys to enter Setup early in the boot sequence if Quick Boot is set to [Enabled].

If Quick Boot is set to [Enabled], you may never see the screen prompt.

ReadyBoard 620 Reference Manual 35

Page 42

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup Utility

10. Use the <Enter> key to select the screen menus listed in the Opening BIOS screen.

NOTE The serial console port is not hardware protected, and is not listed in the COM table

within BIOS Setup Utility. Diagnostic software that probes hardware addresses may cause a loss or failure of the serial console functions.

PCI-ISA Bridge Mapping

The ReadyBoard 620 supports ISA bus based modules with an on-board PCI-ISA bridge. The PCI-ISA bridge optionally maps the following resources to ISA based modules:

• Memory

• I/O Ports

• IRQs

• DMA Channels

The ReadyBoard 620 system BIOS maps the above resources, based on information provided in the BIOS Setup screens. By default, only some of the I/O ports are mapped to ISA modules and any memory, IRQs or DMA channels to be mapped must be explicitly specified by the user in the BIOS Setup screens.

The IRQs are mapped with the “PCIPnP/IRQx” fields in BIOS setup (where x specifies the IRQ number.) The IRQs 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 14, and 15 can be mapped to ISA based modules by changing the default setting for these IRQs from “Available” to “Reserved”.

ISA I/O ports, Memory, and DMA channels can be mapped to ISA modules on the “Boot/Boot Settings Configuration” BIOS setup screen. Six I/O port “windows” and four memory “windows” are available for mapping I/O Port or Memory regions to ISA modules by specifying the window length and base address.

By default, the following I/O port windows are mapped to ISA modules:

• 200-240h

• 240-260h

• 279h

• 300-340h

• 340-360h

• A79h

NOTE 279h and A79 are the ISA PnP ports used by the BIOS and an OS that supports this

feature to recognize ISA PnP (Plug and Play) cards.

By default, no memory windows are mapped to ISA modules.

Any of the DMA channels 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 can be mapped to ISA modules by changing the default setting of “LPC Bridge” to “ISA Bridge”.

For example, to configure an ISA Soundblaster PnP card with resources 220/5/1/5 (Port/IRQ/DMA/DMA) so that the Soundblaster would work in Windows XP, the following BIOS Setup changes would be required:

• ISA I/O Ports – no changes necessary. 220h is already mapped to ISA by default.

• IRQ – set IRQ5 to “Reserved” in BIOS Setup. See the paragraph above on mapping IRQs.

• DMA1 and DMA5 – set DMA Channels 1 and 5 to “ISA Bridge” in BIOS Setup. See paragraph above

on mapping DMA Channels.
