Software Introduction
6.1 BPI Overview
BPI (BIOS Programming Interface) is a cross-platform, easy-to-maintain software
interface specification, which supports access to hardware under the Protected Mode
of 32-bit or 64-bit operating system and supports multi-process and multi-threading
hardware access. BPI is a bridge between hardware and application software, and its
purpose is to provide a unified standard interface for the application layer (in the form
of library function, similar to library function of standard C). With BPI, application
software engineer do not need to care about the specific hardware solution of the
motherboard. The users can use BPI library to rapidly develop their own software
products, and 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. BPI has greatly sped up the product development and reduced
the maintenance cost. The BPI architecture is shown in the Figure 1 below:
· 24 · W15 SERIES
Figure 1 BPI architecture
Page 34
Software Introduction
1. Function Supported by BPI
1) Watchdog
Supports Watchdog boot, stop and feed Watchdog function.
2) GPIO
Supports GPIO input/output programming.
3) Hardware monitoring
Supports monitoring of motherboard CPU temperature, system temperature, fan
rotation speed and motherboard core voltage detection, such as CPU Core
voltage, V12.0, battery voltage, and etc.
The user can use BPI library for second development based on application
requirement, for example:
a) Detecting CPU temperature: If the temperature is too high, a buzzer will
be triggered to send alarm.
b) To control peripheral devices by GPIO programming.
2. Advantages of BPI
1) Platform Irrelevant
It is an interface provided by BPI to application layer, which means the BPI
library function is platform-irrelevant, so the software developed by BPI
function library can operate on a new hardware 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.
W15 SERIES · 25 ·
Page 35
Software Introduction
3) Easy Maintenance
Traditional WDT and GPIO programming are closely related to the hardware
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.
4) Low Cost
Developing the applications by BPI will not result in additional hardware and
software cost. Application software engineer can conveniently use BPI library
functions for second development, and do not need to pay attention to access
information of specific hardware. So it will greatly reduce the development
difficulty, shorten development cycle and boost time-to-market for the system
integrator.
6.2 FMI Overview
FMI (Firmware Management Interface) is management software developed based on
BPI specifications. FMI supports eLogo function. For its test program, please refer to
the eManager software in the user manual CD.
1) eLog
eLog keeps operation records of the PC in details, such as the time for first boot,
completion time of the test, date of production, time of each power-on/off, total
times of power-on of the system, times of illegal power-off, total online time
length of the PC, total heart beat times of the CPU. eLog management
information can provide valuable reference for failure analysis and product
upgrade.

7. BIOS Setup
7.1 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.
7.2 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 < ESC >) 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.

Definition of ESD:
All the electronic modules are equipped with large-scale integrated ICs or assemblies.
Due to their own design, these electronic components are extremely sensitive to
over-voltage, therefore, they are extremely sensitive to any electrostatic discharge.
ESD-sensitive assemblies/modules are usually called ESD devices. This is also the
W15 SERIES · 75 ·

Appendix
internationally universal abbreviation for these devices.
The fo
llowing sign can be used to identify ESD modules:
Caution
ESD devices can be damaged by any voltage far lower than that can be felt by
human. If you do not release electrostatic charges on your body when you contact a
component of the device or carry out electrical connection for the device,
electrostatic voltage will be generated. The current of electrostatic discharge may
cause potential problem to the module. The damage may not seem serious for the
moment, but may lead to malfunction during later operation.
Electrostatic charging
Human body not connected to surrounding electrical level may have electrostatic
charging.
The following data indicates the maximum electrostatic voltages generated when
human bodies contact specific materials. These values are compliant with IEC 801-2
specifications.

Appendix
Electrostatic voltage on the operator
Basic protection measures to prevent electrostatic discharge:
Ensure excellent equipotential connection:
When holding an ESD-sensitive device, make sure your body, working area and
package are all grounded. This can prevent electrostatic charges.
Avoid direct contact:
Contact ESD-sensitive devices only when it is unavoidable (for example during
repair). Do not touch any chip pin or PCB circuit when holding a module. In this way,
the released electric energy will not affect the ESD-sensitive device.
Before handling the module, release charges on your body. They can be released by
touching a grounded metal component. Make sure a grounded measuring instrument
is used.
