Chapter 3 BIOS Setup UEFI Overview

UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is the latest computer firmware to

replace traditional BIOS. UEFI is solidified in the flash memory on the CPU board. Its

main functions include: initialize system hardware, set the operating status of the

system components, adjust the operating parameters of the system components,

diagnose the functions of the system components and report failures, provide hardware

operating and controlling interface for the upper level software system, guide

operating system and so on. UEFI provides users with a human-computer interface in

menu style to facilitate the configuration of system parameters for users, control power

management mode and adjust the resource distribution of system device, etc.

Setting the parameters of the UEFI correctly could enable the system operating stably

and reliably; it could also improve the overall performance of the system at the same

time. Inadequate even incorrect UEFI parameter setting will decrease the system

operating capability and make the system operating unstably even unable to operate

normally.

UEFI Parameter Setup

Prompt message for UEFI setting may appear once powering on the system. At that

time (invalid at other time), press the key specified in the prompt message (usually

<Del> or <F2>) to enter UEFI setting.

All the setup values modified by UEFI (excluding data and time) are saved in the flash

storage in system; the contents will not be lost even if powered down or remove the

battery of the board. The data and time are saved in CMOS storage, which is powered

by battery; unless clearing CMOS is executed, its contents would not be lost even if

powered off.

Note! UEFI setting will influence the computer performance directly. Setting

parameter improperly will cause damage to the computer; it may even be unable to

power on. Please use the internal default value of UEFI to restore the system.

Our company is constantly researching and updating UEFI, its setup interface may

be a bit different. The figure below is for reference only; it may be different from

your UEFI setting in use.

DMA2 Unassigned

DMA3 Unassigned

DMA4 Used for DMAC cascade

DMA5 Unassigned

 APIC

Advanced programmable interrupt controller. Most motherboards above P4 level

support APIC and provide more than 16 interrupt sources, like IRQ16 - IRQ23; while

some others can have up to 28 interrupt sources, such as motherboard supporting

PCI-X. However, relevant OS are required to enable that function.

Only 16 IO address lines are designed for X86, from 0 ~ 0FFFFh; there is 64K for the

system I/O address space. In traditional ISA connector, only the foregoing 1024 (0000

~ 03FFh) are adopted while the ports above 0400h are adopted by PCI and EISA

connectors. Each peripheral will occupy portion of the space. The table below shows

 IRQ Assignment Table

There are 15 interrupt sources of the system. Some are occupied by the system

devices. Only the ones that are not occupied can be assigned to other devices. ISA

device requests exclusive use of its interrupt. Only the plug and play ISA devices can

be assigned by the UEFI or the OS. And several PCI devices share one interrupt,

which is assigned by UEFI or OS. Interrupt assignment of some devices of X86

platform is shown in the table below, but it does not show the interrupt source

occupied by the PCI devices.

BPI Overview

EVOC BPI (BIOS Programming Interface) is a cross-platform, easy-to-maintain

software interface specification, which supports access to hardware under the

Protected Mode of the operating system. The function of the product is to provide a

unified standard interface for the application software or driver; therefore, when the

hardware of the motherboard is upgraded, there is no need to modify the application

software or driver and the former software can operate on the new platform normally.

It has greatly sped up the product development and reduced the maintenance cost.

Currently, BPI supports the configuration of WDT and GPIO as well as H/W monitor

function. As for the test program and function library, please refer to the relevant

documents in the enclosed CD.

Features of the BPI include:

1、 Platform Irrelevant

The software developed by BPI function library can operate on a new platform,

supporting BPI function, normally without making any modification.

2、 Security and High Reliability

The BPI function library accessing the hardware is programmed by the

motherboard developer and is strictly tested; therefore, it can avoid system

malfunction caused by improper operation of the system hardware.

3、 Flexible Configuration

Take GPIO configuration as an example, users may conveniently configure an

arbitrary GPIO function by BPI function library or test program.

4、 Easy Maintenance

Traditional WDT and GPIO programming are closely related to the hardware

Page 54

with complicated test and debug process and software of different platforms;

however, the software developed by BPI only requires one set of the

maintenance software.

5、 Low Cost

Developing the applications by BPI will not result in additional hardware and

software cost, but it will reduce the development difficulty, development cycle

and time-to-market for the system integrator.

Troubleshooting and Solutions

NO. Phenomenon Troubleshooting and Solution

Analysis: it could be the problem of the CMOS battery.

BIOS setting cannot be saved

Solution: measure the CMOS battery with a multi-meter; if the voltage is insufficient, replace the battery; re-set the BIOS and save again. Analysis: it may be caused by poor connection. Remove the power plug from power socket on motherboard, you may find that certain pin of the motherboard power has been collapsed to one side after some forceful insertion.

The computer can only be powered-on occasionally

Solution: power off the computer and remove the power plug; erect the bended power pin with tweezers and re-insert in the power socket. Reboot the computer and test for several times until the problem no longer exits.

Analysis: A USB flash drive is a high-speed USB2.0; when connecting with the computer, it prompts that a high-speed device has been connected with a low-speed connector, which indicates that the connector on motherboard is regarded as a USB1.1 port.

When connecting with a USB flash drive, the system prompts that a high-speed device has been connected with a low-speed connector.

Solution: enable the USB high-speed transmission mode on the motherboard. Different motherboards may have different settings. Change the FULLSPEED option to HISPEED in USB device option.

The screen has no display after replacing with a new memory

Analysis: it could result from improper operation when inserting or removing the memory and cause abnormal operation of the components on the motherboard. Focus on the circuit related to the memory on the motherboard.

and cannot enter system; even when the former memory is re-installed, the system cannot be booted as well.

Solution: check the hardware such as memory, video card first; if it shows that the hardware are all OK, then check the circuit around the memory slot on motherboard carefully; you may find that the two pins connected with the gold finger in the first memory slot are shorted while the second memory slot is normal, then you may know that there is short circuit in the first memory slot. Remove the two pins to their original location with tweezers carefully, insert the memory, reboot the system and the system will be booted smoothly.

Analysis: the data cable of the hard disk may get knocked when installing the CD-ROM, which leads to poor connection of the hard disk data cable, or the master and slave jumpers on hard disk and CD-ROM are wrongly set.

The system cannot be booted after replacing a CD-ROM.

Solution: check the data cable of the hard disk and the IDE connectors on hard disk and motherboard first; if there are no problems, then check the master and slave jumper setting. You may find that the hard disk and CD-ROM are connected with different data cables while their jumpers are all set to master; thus, the hard disk cannot be booted. Set the CD-ROM jumper to slave and then re-install it.

Analysis: make sure the PCI card functions normally; re-insert the PCI card or insert it into another PCI slot to see whether it is normal; find out the power type in use (AT or ATX); find out users’ requirement for the PCI card voltage.

No PCI card can be detected after entering the system.

Solution: if the PCI card functions abnormally, replace it with a new one; if it functions normally when re-inserted or inserted in another PCI slot, then there is something wrong between the PCI card and the slot. If AT power is adopted and the PCI card requires 3.3V voltage, then the AT power shall be replaced with ATX power because AT power cannot provide 3.3V voltage. (Suggestion: when purchasing power supplies, please check whether the PCI card in use requires 3.3V voltage or not).

Analysis: devices are not connected; no drivers are loaded; devices are broken.

No peripheral devices can be detected.

Solution: check whether the cable between the device and the motherboard is normal; if it is normal, replace it with a new cable to make sure the connection is OK. Re-install the device driver and check whether it can be recognized; check whether the device is normal; if the device is normal, then check whether the device is compatible with the motherboard.
