2.2 Unpacking Precautions

Some components of WAFER-E669E2V SBC are very sensitive to st atic electric charges and can be damaged by a sudden rush of power. To protect it from unintended damage, be sure to note these precautions: Ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the WAFER-E669E2V SBC. You can do it by using a grounded wrist strap at all

times or by frequently touc hing any conducting materials that is connected to the ground. Handle WAFER-E669E2V SBC by its edges. Don’t touch IC chips, leads or circuitry if not necessary. Do not plug any co nnector or jumper while the power is on.

2.3 System Memory DRAM

There is one 144-pin SO-DIMM socket to accept

3.3V non-buffered SDRAM. The max Memory size is 512MB.

2.4 Watch-Dog Timer Setting

Reading port 443H enables the Wa tchdog Timer. It should be triggered before the time-out period ends, otherwise it will assume the program operation is abnormal and wi ll issue a reset signal to start again. Reading port 043/843H disables the Watchdog Timer. Please refer to Appendix A for detailed information.

2.5 Clear CMOS Setup

If the user needs to clear the CMOS setup (for example, the user forgot the password, then the setup should be cleared and the password should be re-set). The user should close the JP1 about 3 seconds, and then open it again. Opening JP1 can set the system back to normal operation mode.

Chapter 4 AMI BIOS Setup

4.1 Introduction

This chapter discusses AMI's setup program built into the 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 w hen the power is turned off.

4.2 Starting Setup

The AMI BIOS is immediately activated when you first boot up the computer. The BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking out the system a nd then configures it. Wh en it finishes, the BIOS will seek an ope rating system on one of the di sks and then launch and pass the control over to the operating system. While the BIOS is in charge, the Setup program can be activated in one of the following 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.

Press DEL to enter SETUP.

If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, press the “RESET” button on the chassis or turn the power off then turn it back on to restart the system then you can try again. You may also restart by

simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct moment and the system does not boot, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to...

PRESS F1 TO ENTER SETUP OR PRESS F2 TO CONTINUE

4.3 Using Setup

In general, use the arrow keys to highlight options, press <Enter> to select, use the PageUp and PageDown keys to change entries, press <F1> for help and press <Esc> to quit. The following table provides more detail about how to navigate in the Setup program.

Up arrow Move to previous option Down arrow Move to next option Left arrow Move to the option in the left column Right arrow Move to the option in the right column Esc key Main Menu -- Quit and not save changes into

F5 key Reserved F6 key Reserved F7 key Reserved F8 key Reserved F9 key Reserved F10 key Save all the CMOS changes, only for Main

4.4 Getting Help

Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press <Esc> or the F1 key again.

If, after making and saving system chan ges with Setup, you discover that your computer is no longer able to boot, the AMI BIOS supports an override to the CMOS settings which can reset your system to its defaults.

The best advice is to alter only the settings which you thoroughly understand. To this end, we strongly recommend not to make any changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully chosen by both AMI and the system manufacturer to provide the optimum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly little change to the chipset setup may shut the system down and need the override program to reset it.

4.5 Main Menu

Once you enter the AMIBIOS™ CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from several setup functions and two exit choices. Use the arrow keys to select among the option and press <Enter> to accept and enter the sub-menu. Note that a brief description of each highlighted selection appears at the bottom of the screen. The main menu includes the following main setup categories. Recall that some systems may not include all entries.

Standard CMOS Setup

Use this menu for basic system configuration.

Advanced CMOS Setup

Use this menu to set the Advanced Features available on your system.

Advanced Chipset Setup

user password: It’s used to only access the setup menus, but can’t change anything of it. When you select this option, 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 existing password within CMOS memory. You will

be prompted to confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not to enter a password. To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A message which ask you to 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 user from changing any bit of your system configuration. Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a password every time the system is booting. This would prevent unauthorized uses of your computer. The user can d etermine whether th e password i s needed for entering BIOS Setup Program or other Security options (see Section 4.5). Onc e the Password has been set, The user will be prompted to enter the password at the beginning of booting and at the entry to Setup Menu.

Appendix A. Watchdog Timer

The Watchdog Timer is a device to ensure that standalone systems can always recover from catastrophic conditions that cause the CPU to crash. This condition may have occurred by external EMI or a software bug. When the CPU stops working normally, hardware on the board will perform hardware reset (cold boot) to bring the system back t o a known state.

Three I/O ports control the Watchdog Timer.

This will enable and activate the countdown timer which eventually time out and reset the CPU to ensure that this rese t condit ion doe s no t occur; the Watch-Dog Timer must be periodically refr eshed by reading the same I/O port 043/843H and 443H. This must be done withi n the time out period that is selected by software, please refer to the example program.

A tolerance of at least 5% must be maintained to avoid unknown routines within the operating system (DOS), such as disk I/O that can be very time consuming. Therefore if the time-out period has been set to 10 seconds, the I/O port 443H must be read within 7 seconds.

Note: when exiting a program it is necessary to disable the Watchdog Timer, otherwise the system

will reset.

Example assembly program:

TIMER_PORT = 443H TIMER_START = 443H TIMER_STOP = 843H

Appendix B. Digital I/O

One characteristic of digital circuit is it s fast response t o high or low signal. This kind of response is highly needed for harsh and critical industrial operating environment. That’s why we design 4-bit digital inputs and 4-bit digital outputs on the NOVA-7820. Digital Input and Output, generally, are control signals. You can use these signals to control external devices that needs On/Off circuit or TTL devices. Yo u can read or write data to the sele cted address to enable the function of digital IO.

A BIOS function call (INT 15H) is used to control the Watch dog Timer:

INT 15H :

AH – 6FH

Sub-function:

AL – 8 : Set the Digital port is INPUT AL : Digital I/O input value

Example program:

MOV AX, 6F08H ;setting the Digital port is input INT 15H ;

AL low byte = value

AH – 6FH

Sub-function:

AL – 9 : Set the Digital port is OUTPUT BL : Digital I/O output value

Example program:

MOV AX, 6F09H ;setting the Digital port is output MOV BL, 09H ;Digital value

is 09H INT 15H ;

Digital Output is 1001b
