1.20 Digital I/O

One of the characteristics of digital circu it is its fast resp on se to high or l ow signal.
This kind of response is highly nece ssary for harsh and critic al industrial operating
environment. That’s why we design 4-bit digital inputs and 4-bit digital outputs
on NOVA-7830.

Digital Input and Output are control signals in general. You can use these signals
to control external devices that needs On/Off circuit or TTL devices. We provide
"BIOS Call" for DI O's reading.

Chapter 4 AMI BIOS Setup

1.1 Introduction

This chapter discusses the Setup program built into the BIOS which allows users
to configure the system. This configuration is then stored in battery-backed
CMOS RAM so that Setup information is retained whilst the power is off.

1.2 Starting Setup

The BIOS is immediately active when you turn on the computer. While the BIOS
is activated, the Setup program can be entered in one of two ways:

i. By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or

ii. By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears briefly at

the bottom of the screen during the POST (Power On Self-Te st).

Press DEL to run SETUP.

Primary/Secondary Master/Slave LBA Mode

LBA (Logical Block Addressing) is a new IDE HDD access method to develop to
overcome the 528-megabyte capacity bottleneck. If your IDE hard disk capacity
is greater than 528MB, AMIBIO S can enable this LBA mode feature. The option is
only for Primary Master IDE LBA mode .

Primary/Secondary Master/Slave Block Mode

If your hard disk drive supports IDE block transfer mode, enable this option for a
faster IDE hard disk drive transfer rate. The option is only for Primary Master
Block mode.

Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO Mode

This option enables Primary Master IDE PIO mode on the IDE, whic h can set
proper cycle timings. The cycle timing between the IDE PIO mode value and IDE
cycle timing is shown below:
Mode 0 -> Timing (600ns) Mode 1 -> Timing (383ns)
Mode 2 -> Timing (240ns) Mode 3 -> Timing (180ns)
Mode 4 -> Timing (120ns) Mode 5 -> Timing (60ns)

26

Primary/Secondary Master/Slave 32Bit Mode

This option enables Primary Master IDE 32-bit data transfe rs on the IDE data port.
If disabled, 16-bit data transfer is used by the BIOS.32-bit data transfers can only
be enabled if IDE prefetch mo de is also enabled.

Boot Sector Virus Protection

When this option is enabled, AMIBIOS issues a warning when any program or
virus issues a Disk Format command or attempts to write to the boot sector of the
hard disk drive. The settings are Disabled, Enabled.

Base/Extd Memory

Displays the amount of conv entional/extended memory detected dur ing boot up.

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. This condition
may have occur red by external EMI or a software bug. When the CPU stops
working correctly, hardware on the board will either perform a h ardware reset
(cold boot) to bring the system back to a known state.

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

AH – 6FH
Sub-function:
AL– 2: Set the W a tchdog Timer’s period
BL: Time-out value (the time unit-second, is
dependent on the item “Watchdog Timer unit
(selected in BIOS setup).

You have to call sub-function 2 to se t the time-out period of Watchdog Timer first.
If the time-out value is not zero, the Watchdog Timer will start counting down.
When the timer value reaches zero, the system will reset. To ensur e that this
reset condition does no t occur, the W a tchdog Timer must be periodically refr eshed
by calling sub-function 2. However the Watchdog timer will be disabled if you set
the time-out value to be zero.

A tolerance of at least 10% must be maintained to avoid unknown
routines within the operating system (DOS), such as disk I/O that can be
very time-consuming.

Note: When exiting a program it is necessary to disable the Watchdog Timer,
otherwise the system will reset.

Example program:

; INITIAL TIMER PERIOD COUNTER

;
W_LOOP:

MOV AX, 6F02H ;setting the time-out value
MOV BL, 30 ;time-out value is 48 seconds
INT 15H
;

; ADD YOUR APPLICATION PROGRAM HERE

;
CMP EXIT_AP, 1 ;is your application over?
JNE W_LOOP ;No, restart your application

MOV AX, 6F02H ;disable Watchdog Timer
MOV BL, 0 ;
INT 15H
;

; EXIT

38

Appendix B Digital I/O

One of the characteristics of digital circu it is its fast resp on se to high or l ow signal.
This kind of response is highly needed for harsh and critical industrial op erating
environment. That is why we design 4-bit digital inputs and 4-bit digital outputs
on NOVA-7830.

Digital Input and Output are control signals in general. You can use these signals
to control external devices that needs On/Off circuit or TTL devices. You can read
or write data to the selected address to enable the function of digital IO.

A BIOS function call (INT 15H) is used to control the Watchdog 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
