This section al lows the user to configure the system based on the specific features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and access to system memory resou rces, such as DRAM and the external cache. It also coordinates communications between the conventional ISA bus and the PCI bus. It must be stated t hat these items should never need to be altered. The default settings have been chosen because they provide the best operating conditions for the user’s system.

DRAM Settings

The first chipset settings deal with CPU access to dynamic random access memory (DRAM). The default timings have been carefully chosen and should only be altered if data is being lost. Such a scenario migh t well occur i f the user’s system h ad mixed speed DRAM chips installed so that greater delays may

be required to preserve the integrity of the data held in the slower memory chips.

SDRAM CAS Latency Time

When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS latency depends on the DRAM timing.

The Choice: 2, 3

SDRAM Cycle Time Tras/Trc

Select the number of SCLKs for an access cycle. The Choice: 5/7, 6/8.

SDRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay

This field lets the user insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe signals, used when DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed. Fast gives faster performance; and Slow gives more stable performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.

The Choice: 2, 3.

SDRAM RAS Precharge Time

If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be incomplete and the DRAM may fail to retain data. Fast gives faster performance; and Slow gives more stable performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.

The Choice: 2, 3.

System BIOS Cacheable

Selecting Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes t o this memory area, a system error may result.

The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.

If this function is enabled, the following message will appear to guide the user to create 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. The user will be asked to confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. The user may also press <Esc> t o abort t h e selection and not enter a password.

To disable a password, just press <Enter> when the user 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 the user can enter Setup fre ely.

PASSWORD DISABLED: When a password has been enabled, the user will be prompted to enter it every time the user try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of the user’s system configuration.

Additionally, when a password is enabled, the user can also require the BIOS to request a password every time the user’s system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use of the user’s computer.

The user determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security option (see Section

Appendix A. Watchdog Timer

The Watchdog Timer is provided to ensure that standalone systems can always recover from catastrophic conditions that cause the CPU to crash. These conditions may result from an external EMI or a software bug. When the system stops worki ng correctly, hardware on the board will perform hardware reset (cold boot) to bring the system back to a known state.

Three I/O ports control the operation of Watch-Dog

Timer. 443 (hex) Write Set Watchdog Time period 443 (hex) Read

Enable the refresh the Watchdog

Timer. 043/843 (hex)

Read Disable the Watch-Dog Timer.

Prior to enable the Watch-Dog Timer, user has to set the timeout period. The resolution of the timer is 1 second and the range of the timer is from 1 sec to 255 sec. The user need to send the time-out value to the I/O port – 443H, and then enabling it by reading data from the same I/O port – 443H. This will activate the timer that will eventually time out and reset the CPU board. To ensure that this reset condition won’t occur, the Watch-Dog Timer must be periodically refreshed by reading the same I/O port 443H. This must be done within the time-out period, please refer to the example program. Finally, we have to disable the Watch-Dog timer by reading the I/O port -- 843H or 043H. Otherwise the system could reset unconditionally.

A tolerance of at least 5% must be maintained to avoid unknown routin es in the operating syst em (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.

Appendix C. How to Upgrade a New BIOS

The user can install an upgrade BIOS for the ROCKY-

3786EV/EVG(U2)

that can be downloaded from the

manufacturer’s web site ( www.e-icp.com.tw

). New BIOS may support new peripherals ,improvements in performance or amendments to system addressed known bugs.

BIOS Update Procedure:

1. Make a boot disk. Go to the DOS command prompt in

MS-DOS or Windows 9x and, with an available floppy disk in "A ", type "fo rmat A: / s" That will format the floppy and transfer the needed system files to it.

NOTES:

A. This procedure will erase any prior data on that

floppy, so please proceed accordingly.

B. Typically four files will be transferred, only

COMMAND.COM being visible when running a simple directory listing.

C. Please leave the diskette UN-write protected for the

balance of this procedure.

2. Download the BIOS upgrade file and awdflash.exe

utility fro m a I CP we b sit e t o a t em p d ir ec t o ry o n t he user’s hard drive, or directly to the floppy the user made in step 1..

3. Copy ( BIOS file and awdflash.exe )two files to the

boot floppy.

4. Reboot the system to the DOS command prompt

using the boot diskette the user just made.

5. At the DOS command prompt type , "awdflash

filename.xxx", where filename.xxx is the file name of the BIOS file. Hit enter.

6. The user’s first option, in sequence, will be to save

the old BIOS. We recommend that the user do that in case, for whatever reason, the user decide the user don't wish to use the new version once it is installed.

NOTES:

A. If the user decide to save the old BIOS, PLEASE

make sure the user do NOT save it to the same file name as the new BIOS - if the user use the same BIOS na me th e old f ile will b e writ ten over the new file with NO w arning pro mpt. A simple file name to save the old BIOS to is OLDBIOS.BIN.

B. If the user do NOT decide to save the old BIOS,

PLEASE at least write down the version number of the old BIOS and store that information with the user’s important computer documents. Enter N (for "no") and skip to step 9.

7. To save the old BIOS, hi t Y (for "yes")

8. Enter a name for the OLD BIOS file and hit enter. NOTE: PLEASE be sure the user do NOT save the old BIOS

file to the same file name as the ne w BIOS - if the user use the same BI OS name, the old f ile will writ e over the new BIOS file WITHOUT a warning prompt. A simple file name for saving the old BIOS to is OLDBIOS.BIN.

9. The user’s second option, in sequence, will be

whether the user want to flash the user’s BIOS. Enter Y (for "yes").

NOTE: This is t he crit ica l ste p. Once the user kit the enter

key, do NOT touch the keyboard, the reset button, or power switch while the flashing is in progress. There will be bar progressing across the screen while the flashing is progressing.

10. When the flas hing process is complete, the user will

be asked to reset or power off the system. Remove the floppy diskette from the floppy drive and either hit the reset button or the power button.

11. Reboot the system and note that the BIOS version on

the initial boot-up screen has changed to the new BIOS version. The user’s BIOS upgrade is now complete.

Recovering The user’s Old BIOS:

1. Assuming the user have the floppy made during the

upgrade procedure noted above, boot the system with that diskette in the floppy drive. If the user do not have floppy made during the upgrade procedure noted above, the user will ne ed to repea t steps 1 t hough 3 (above) for the version of the BIOS the user wish to recover to.

2. Complete steps 4, 5, 6B, 9, 10, and 11 (above)

substituting the name of the BIOS the user wish to recover for the upgrade BIOS at step 5.

Appendix D. ATX Power Supply

The following notes show how to connect ATX Power Supply to the backplanes and / or the ISBC ca rd.

A. For backplanes with ATX Connector

1. Please, disconnect the AC cord of the Power Supply from

the AC source to prevent sudden electric surge to the board.

2. Please, check the type of the user’s CPU board. All CPU

board listed on the next page support ATX power supply but has two types of power switch connection:

ROCKY-3786EV/EVG(U2) (through Power Button & GND):

Connect the ATX power button switch to the CN5 (power button). And connect the power cable from backplane to CN20 of CPU card.

If the user want to turn ON the system, just press the button once. And if the user want to turn off the power supply, please press the ATX power switch button for about 4 seconds.

B. For the backplanes with ATX power

supply connector

For some SBC without ATX power ON/OFF function, then the user can control the ATX power supply through backplane’s PS-ON connector. Refer to the figure below: for the backplanes wi th ATX connector, the connection can be made simply as following:

1. Connect the ON/OFF (ordinary one) switch to Pin 2 (PS ON)

and Pin 3 (GND) of connector CN2

2. The user may now turn the power ON/OFF by the power

switch

Appendix E. E2 Key™ Function

The ROCKY-3786EVG provides an outstanding E2KEY™ function for system integrator. Based on the E

KEY™, the user can free to store the ID Code, Password or Critical Data in the 1Kbit EEPROM. Because the EEPROM is nonvolatile memory, the user don’t have to worry for losing very important data.

Basically the E

KEY™ is based on a 1Kbit EEPROM which is configured to 64 words(from 0 to 63). The user could access (read or write) each word at any time.

When the user start t o use the E

KEY™ the user shoul d have the utility in the package. The software utility will include four files as follows,

README.DOC E2KEY.OBJ EKEYDEMO.C EKEYDEMO.EXE.

The E2KEY.OBJ provides two library functions for user to integrate their application with E

KEY™ function. These library (read_e2key and write_e2key) are written and compiled in C language. Please check the following statement, then the user will know how to implement it easily.

unsigned int read_e2key(unsigned int address)

/* This function will return the E

KEY™’s data at address. The address range is from 0 to 63. Return data is one word,16 bits

*/void write_e2key(unsigned int address,unsigned

data)

/* This function will write the given data to E2KEY™ at certain address. The address ran ge is from 0 to 63. The data value is from 0 to 0xffff. */

To easily start to use the function, please refer to the included EKEYDEMO.C code at first.

Please note that the E

KEY™ function is based on the working of parallel port. So the user should enable the ROCKY-3702EV’s parallel port, otherwise it will no t work .
