Note: Please take note that you will need an up-to-date new version firmware
of M-system DiskOnChip for PCA-6042 series product. The reason is
to avoid any compatibility issue.
Please follow the steps as shown below when installing the up-to date firmware
on your DiskOnChip.
1, Prepare a DOS diskette with a DOS config.sys to boot your system.
2, Make sure that you turn-off the power of your CPU board.
3, Plug your DiskOnChip onto the 32-pin DIP socket provided in y our CPU board.
4, Be sure to double check the correct orientation of your DiskOnChip with the
corresponding 32-pin DIP socket.
5, Connect your CPU board with a FDD.
6, Turn on the power of your CPU board.
7, Run the utility by executing through your Drive A
A:>dformat /win:e000 /s:doc514.exb Æ press ENTER.
8, Restart the power of your CPU board.
1.5 Network Interface
Chipset: Realtek 8100B single chip
Type: 10/100BASE-T

Connectors: 8-pin male header , pitch 2.0mm
Monitoring LEDs: network ready indicator, network activity
2. Plug the DiskOnChip 2000 device into its socket. Verify the mounting orientation of the
DiskOnChip 2000 is correct (DiskOnChip 2000 pin 1 must be aligned with pin 1 of the
socket).
3. Turn on the power of the system, and you may observe the messages displayed by
the DiskOnChip 2000 when its drivers are automatically loaded into system’s memory.
Start Address is assigned and fixed at “0E0000 HEX”.
4. If the DiskOnChip 2000 is the only disk in the system, it will appear as the first disk
(drive C: in DOS).
5. If there are more disks besides the DiskOnChip 2000, the DiskOnChip 2000 will
appear by default as the last drive.
6. If you want the DiskOnChip 2000 to be bootable: a - copy the operating sys tem files
into the DiskOnChip by using the standard DOS command (for example: sys d:) b The DiskOnChip should be the only disk in the systems or should be configured as the
first disk in the system (c: ) using the DUPDATE utility

2.7 Watchdog Timer
The watchdog timer work flow of Vo rtex86 is: If the watchdog timer expires the first time,
the expired event will set SFTMR0_STS and timer will reload its inital value and count
again. If the timer expire the second time, the expired event will set SFTMR1_STS.
84Ah 7:0 R/W Software Watchdog Timer Initial Value
Bit Access Description
Writing to this register will reload the software watchdog
timer with the value specified in this register. If the software
watchdog timer expires the first time, the expired event will
set the SFTMR0_STS and the timer will reload its initial
value and count again. If the timer expire the second time,
the expired event will set the SFTMR1_STS. The timer
value can't be read from this field.

When SFTMR0_STS is set to one, an
SMI#/SFTIRQ/PCIRST# will be generated according to the
following combination.

This bit is set when the software watchdog timer expires the
second time. This status bit does not have its corresponding
enable bit and can survive under PCIRST#.
6 R/WC Software Watch Dog Timer Event 0 Status (SFTMR0_STS)
This bit is set when the software watchdog timer expires the
second time. This status bit does not have its corresponding
enable bit and can survive under PCIRST#.

SVGA Setup
3.1 Introduction
The PCA-6042 offers high performance/low cost Vortex™ SoC (System on Chip) solution
that. integrates a x86 compatible processor, high performance North Bridge, advanced
hardware GUI engine and Super-South bridge into a single chipset – this SoC design
supports the now PC technology, USB, Legacy Removal, CIR, Memory Stick, Smart Card
and Slotless Design for a variety of IA (Information Appliance) applications. It also has a
built-in VGA controller.
3.1.1 SoC Chipset
The embedded video uses the integrated Ultra-AGP™ VGA controller for Hardware
2D/video/Graphics Accelerators, this board supports conventional analog CRT monitor or
flat panel. It is both AGP 4X / Fully DirectX 8 Compliant. It also provides Monitor /
Secondary CRT Monitor output. This video SVGA controller supports conventional analog
CRT monitor or flat panel. In addition, it also supports interlaced a nd non-interlac ed analog
monitors (color and monochrome VGA) in high-resolution modes while maintaining
