6. Watch-Dog-Timer (WDT) Setting

6. Watch-Dog-Timer (WDT) Setting

Introduction

The watchdog timer serves as a safeguard against possible system lock-up in your industrial computer system. In most industrial environments, there are heavy equipment, generators, high-voltage power lines, or power drops that have adverse effects on your computer system. For instance, when a power drop occurs, it could cause the CPU to come to a halt state or enter into an infinite loop, resulting in a system lock-up.
With the watchdog timer enabled, a RESET can be automatically generated unless the CPU periodically triggers the timer within the time-out interval. That is, while the system gets hung up, the running program can’t trigger the timer periodically. The timer will generate a reset signal to reboot the system. This feature allows a running program to restart in an orderly way when a power glitch or any abnormal condition occurs.
The watchdog timer comes with 255-level time-out interval, 1 - 255 seconds per interval, which can be adjusted by software setting. There is a tolerance of 2 second for this time-out interval. For example, if the time-out interval has been set to 32 seconds, your program should trigger the watchdog timer before 28 seconds are escaped. Otherwise, after 28-32 seconds are escaped, the system will automatically reboot. To keep the system running normally, your program should trigger the watchdog timer every 28 seconds.
The I/O port is defined at address 2e/2fH. You can trigger/enable disable the timer by writing port2e/2fH.
Here is an example for flow chart and programming how to use the watch-dog-timer. (1) Example flow chart

8. BIOS Setup

8. BIOS Setup

Introduction

This chapter discusses Award’s Setup program built into the FLASH ROM BIOS. The Setup program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This special information is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.
The rest of this chapter is intended to guide you through the process of configuring your system using Setup.

Starting Setup

The Award BIOS is immediately activated when you first power on the computer. The BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an operating system on one of the disks and then launch and turn control over to the operating system.
While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways: 1 By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or 2 By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen
during the POST (Power On Self-Test).
Press DEL to enter SETUP.

In Case of Problems

If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer no longer is able to boot, the AwardBIOS™ supports an override to the CMOS settings which resets your system to its defaults.
The best advice is to only alter settings which you thoroughly understand. To this end, we strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully chosen by both Award and your systems manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the chipset setup has the potential for causing you to use the override.

menus. When you select this unction, the following message will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.
ENTER PASSWORD:
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previously entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password.
To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A message will confirm the password will be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED.
When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your system configuration.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a password every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer.
You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security option (see Section 3). If the Security option is set to “System”, the password will be required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.

Exit Selecting

Load Fail-Safe Defaults
Save & Exit Setup Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:
Save to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y
Pressing “Y” stores the selections made in the menus in CMOS – a special section of memory that stays on after you turn your system off. The next time you boot your computer, the BIOS configures your system according to the Setup selections stored in CMOS. After saving the values the system is restarted again.
Exit Without Saving Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:
Quit without saving (Y/N)? Y
This allows you to exit Setup without storing in CMOS any change. The previous selections remain in effect. This exits the Setup utility and restarts your computer.

POST Messages

During the Power On Self-Test (POST), if the BIOS detects an error requiring you to do something to fix, it will either sound a beep code or display a message.
If a message is displayed, it will be accompanied by:
PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, CTRL-ALT-ESC OR DEL TO ENTER SETUP

POST Beep

Currently there are two kinds of beep codes in BIOS. This code indicates that a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional information. This beep code consists of a single long beep followed by two short beeps. The other code indicates that your DRAM error has occurred. This beep code consists of a single long beep repeatedly.

Error Messages

One or more of the following messages may be displayed if the BIOS detects an error during the POST. This list includes messages for both the ISA and the EISA BIOS.
CMOS battery has failed
CMOS battery is no longer functional. It should be replaced.
CMOS checksum error
Checksum of CMOS is incorrect. This can indicate that CMOS has become corrupt. This error may have been caused by a weak battery. Check the battery and replace if necessary.
