2.6 Watchdog Timer

There are two watchdog timers in Vortex86SX/DX CPU. One is compatible with M6117D
watchdog timer and the other is new. The M6117D compatible watchdog timer is called WDT0
and new one is called WDT1.

We also provide DOS, Linux and WinCE example for your reference. For more technical s upport,

2.7 GPIO (General Purpose Input / Output)

40 GPIO pins are provided by the Vortex86SX/DX for general usage in the system. All GPIO pins
are independent and can be configured as inputs or outputs, with or without pull-up/pull-down
resistors.

We also offer DOS, Linux and WinCE example for your reference. For more technical support,

2.8 SPI flash (Serial Peripheral Interface)

As SPI Flash (Serial Peripheral Interface) offers many benefits including: reduced controller pin
count, smaller and simpler PCBs, reduced switching noise, less power consumption, and lower

system cost

Many of users may consider using a formatted SPI flash to boot for the system or emulate SPI
flash as Floppy (A: Driver or B: Driver). Then you must know how to set for this condition in
CMOS Setup and boot up under DOS 6.22, X-DOS, DR-DOS and Free DOS.

Driver Installation

VGA

The Vortex86SX processor also use external Display chip ““Volari™ Z9s” which is an ultra low
powered graphics chipset with total power consumption at around 1-1.5 W. It is capable in
providing VGA display output upto 1600x1200. With DVO interface, developers could easily
connect flat Panel to support TFT and LVDS output.

LAN

The Vortex86SX processor also integrated 10/100Mbps Ethernet controller that supports both
10/100BASE-T and allows direct connection to your 10/100Mbps Ethernet based Local Area
Network for full interaction with local servers, wide area networks such as the Internet.

The controller supports: Half / Full-Duplex Ethernet function to double channel bandwidth, auto
media detection.

Operating system support

The Vortex86SX-6150E-V2 PC/104 CPU board supports Embedded software: Free DOS, DOS

6.22, PCDOS 7.1, DR-DOS, x-DOS, OS/2, Windows CE 5.0 / 6.0
Please get the drivers from the Driver CD which attached with the standard packing of

Vortex86SX-6150E-V2 board or please get it from DMP official website:

http://www.dmp.com.tw/tech/vortex86sx/

Vortex86SX-6150E-V2 also supports most of the popular Linux distributions, for more detail

Appendix

A. TCP/IP library for DOS real mode

DSock is a TCP/IP library for DOS real mode, which is used by RSIP. It provides simple C
functions for programmer to write Internet applications. ICOP also provide Internet examples
using DSock: BOOTP/DHCP, FTP server, SMTP client/server, HTTP server, TELNET server,
Talk client/server, etc.

DSock provides a lot of example source code. Programmer can add Internet functions to their
project easily and save development time. With a utility "MakeROM”, programmer also can make
a ROM image to fit their application, those examples can be seen in the following Application
systems: Mity-Mite Serial Server,

DSock is free for All ICOP products using M6117D/Vortex86/Vortex86SX/Vortex86DX CPU and
ICOP also provide the business version of DSock for those customers who are using other x86
CPUs.
If you would like to use DSock or business version of DSock, Please mail to [e-mail]
contact your regional sales.

Please download the trial DSock software and Utilities from our website:
