2.3.4 PCI Interface
The ICH2 PCI interface provides a 33 MHz, Rev. 2.2 compliant implementation. All PCI
signals are 5V tolerant, except PME#. The ICH2 integrates a PCI arbiter that supports up
to six external PCI bus masters in addition to the internal ICH2 requests.
2.3.5 IDE Interface (Bus Master Capability and Synchronous DMA Mode)
The fast IDE interface supports up to four IDE devices providing an interface for IDE hard
disks and CD ROMs. Each IDE device can have independent timings. The IDE interface
supports PIO IDE transfers up to 14 Mbytes/sec and Bus Master IDE transfers up 100
Mbytes/sec. It does not consume any ISA DMA resources. The IDE interface integrates
16x32-bit buffers for optimal transfers.
The ICH2’s IDE system contains two independent IDE signal channels. They can be
electrically isolated independently. They can be configured to the standard primary and
secondary channels (four devices). There are integrated series resistors on the data and
control lines.
Access to these controllers is provided by two standard IDC 40-pin connectors.
2.3.6 USB
The USB controller provides enhanced support for the Universal Host Controller Interface
(UHCI). This includes support that allows legacy software to use a USB-based keyboard
and mouse. The ICH2 is USB Revision 1.1 compliant. The ICH2 contains two USB Host
Controllers. Each Host Controller includes a root hub with two separate USB ports each,
for a total of 4 USB ports. The signals are provided by a 5 x 2 header or an optional USB
bracket adapter.
2.3.7 Ethernet
2.3.7.1 ICH2 LAN Controller
The ICH2’s integrated LAN Controller includes a 32-bit PCI controller that provides
enhanced scatter-gather bus mastering capabilities and enables the LAN Controller to
perform high speed data transfers over the PCI bus. Its bus master capabilities enable the
component to process high level commands and perform multiple operations; this lowers
processor utilization by off-loading communication tasks from the processor. Two large
transmit and receive FIFOs of 3 KB each help prevent data under runs and overruns while
waiting for bus accesses. This enables the integrated LAN Controller to transmit data with
minimum interframe spacing (IFS).
The LAN Controller can operate in either full duplex or half duplex mode. In full duplex
mode the LAN Controller adheres with the IEEE 802.3x Flow Control specification. Half
duplex performance is enhanced by a proprietary collision reduction mechanism.

3.8 Watchdog Timer Programming
When the Watch-Dog Timer (WDT) function is enabled, a system reset will be generated
unless an application triggers the timer periodically within time-out period. This allows the
system to restart in an orderly way in case of any abnormal condition is found.
An optional two-port WDT is provided on ECB-865. This WDT comes with 8 possible
ranges of time intervals from 500ms to 64sec., which can be adjusted by setting jumper
positions. It could be enabled and programmed by reading I/O port 0533H or 0543H to
issue trigger continuously, and disabled by reading I/O port 0033H or 0343H. A tolerance
of 30% timer limit must be considered. For instance, if the time-out interval is set to 1
second, the WDT trigger command must be issued within 700ms at least.
The below example gives you a reference algorithm for WDT programming via I/O port

3.10 Setting Jumpers
You can configure your board to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A
jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch.
It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that
slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a jumper you connect the pins with the
clip. To “open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins,
labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case, you would connect either two pins.
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows:
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers.
If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact
your local distributor or sales representative before you make any changes.

3.11.38.1 Address & Data
AD [31::00]
C/BE [3::0]#
PAR
Address and Data are multiplexed on the same PCI pins. A bus transaction consists
of an address phase followed by one or more data phases. PCI supports both read
and write bursts.
The address phase is the clock cycle in which FRAME# is asserted. During the
address phase AD [31::00] contain a physical address (32 bits). For I/O, this is a
byte address; for configuration and memory, it is a DWORD address. During data
phases AD [07::00] contain the least significant byte (lsb) and AD [31::24] contain
the most significant byte (msb). Write data is stable and valid when IRDY# is
asserted and read data is stable and valid when TRDY# is asserted. Data is
transferred during those clocks where both IRDY# and TRDY# are asserted.
Bus Command and Byte Enables are multiplexed on the same PCI pins. During the
address phase of a transaction, C/BE [3::0]# define the bus command. During the
data phase C/BE [3::0]# are used as Byte Enables. The Byte Enables are valid for
the entire data phase and determine which byte lanes carry meaningful data.
C/BE[0]# applies to byte 0 (lsb) and C/BE[3]# applies to byte 3 (msb).
Parity is even parity across AD [31::00] and C/BE [3::0]#. Parity generation is
required by all PCI agents. PAR is stable and valid one clock after the address
phase. For data phases, PAR is stable and valid one clock after either IRDY# is
asserted on a write transaction or TRDY# is asserted on a read transaction. Once
PAR is valid, it remains valid until one clock after the completion of the current data
phase. (PAR has the same timing as AD[31::00], but it is delayed by one clock.) The
master drives PAR for address and write data phases; the target drives PAR for read
data phases.

3.11.38.2 System
CLK
RST#
Clock provides timing for all transactions on PCI and is an input to every PCI device.
All other PCI signals, except RST#, INTA#, INTB#, INTC#, and INTD#, are sampled
on the rising edge of CLK and all other timing parameters are defined with respect to
this edge. PCI operates up to 33 MHz or 66 MHz and, in general, the minimum
frequency is DC (0 Hz).
Reset is used to bring PCI-specific registers, sequencers, and signals to a consistent
state. What effect RST# has on a device beyond the PCI sequencer is beyond the
scope of this specification, except for reset states of required PCI configuration
registers. Anytime RST# is asserted, all PCI output signals must be driven to their
benign state. In general, this means they must be asynchronously tri-stated. SERR#
(open drain) is floated. REQ# and GNT# must both be tri-stated (they cannot be
driven low or high during reset). To prevent AD, C/BE#, and PAR signals from
floating during reset, the central resource may drive these lines during reset (bus
parking) but only to a logic low level–they may not be driven high. RST# may be
asynchronous to CLK when asserted or deasserted. Although asynchronous,
deassertion is guaranteed to be a clean, bounce-free edge. Except for configuration
accesses, only devices that are required to boot the system will respond after reset.

Cycle Frame is driven by the current master to indicate the beginning and duration of

FRAME# is asserted, data transfers continue. When FRAME# is deasserted, the

Initiator Ready indicates the initiating agent’s (bus master’s) ability to complete the
current data phase of the transaction. IRDY# is used in conjunction with TRDY#. A
data phase is completed on any clock both IRDY# and TRDY# are sampled
asserted. During a write, IRDY# indicates that valid data is present on AD [31::00].
During a read, it indicates the master is prepared to accept data. Wait cycles are
inserted until both IRDY# and TRDY# are asserted together.
Target Ready indicates the target agent’s (selected device’s) ability to complete the
current data phase of the transaction. TRDY# is used in conjunction with IRDY#. A
data phase is completed on any clock both TRDY# and IRDY# are sampled
asserted. During a read, TRDY# indicates that valid data is present on AD [31::00].
During a write, it indicates the target is prepared to accept data. Wait cycles are
inserted until both IRDY# and TRDY# are asserted together.
Stop indicates the current target is requesting the master to stop the current
transaction.
Lock indicates an atomic operation that may require multiple transactions to
complete. When LOCK# is asserted, non-exclusive transactions may proceed to an
address that is not currently locked. A grant to start a transaction on PCI does not
guarantee control of LOCK#. Control of LOCK# is obtained under its own protocol in
conjunction with GNT#. It is possible for different agents to use PCI while a single
master retains ownership of LOCK#. If a device implements Executable Memory, it
should also implement LOCK# and guarantee complete access exclusion in that
memory. A target of an access that supports LOCK# must provide exclusion to a
minimum of 16 bytes (aligned). Host bridges that have system memory behind them
should implement LOCK# as a target from the PCI bus point of view and optionally
as a master.
Initialization Device Select is used as a chip select during configuration read and
write transactions.
Device Select, when actively driven, indicates the driving device has decoded its
address as the target of the current access. As an input, DEVSEL# indicates whether
any device on the bus has been selected.

3.11.38.4 Arbitration
REQ#
GNT#
Request indicates to the arbiter that this agent desires use of the bus. This is a point
to point signal. Every master has its own REQ# which must be tri-stated while RST#
is asserted.
Grant indicates to the agent that access to the bus has been granted. This is a point
to point signal. Every master has its own GNT# which must be ignored while RST# is
asserted.
3.11.38.5 Error Reporting
PERR#
SERR#
Parity Error is only for the reporting of data parity errors during all PCI transactions
except a Special Cycle. The PERR# pin is sustained tri-state and must be driven
active by the agent receiving data two clocks following the data when a data parity
error is detected. The minimum duration of PERR# is one clock for each data phase
that a data parity error is detected. (If sequential data phases each have a data parity
error, the PERR# signal will be asserted for more than a single clock.) PERR# must
be driven high for one clock before being tri-stated as with all sustained tri-state
signals. There are no special conditions when a data parity error may be lost or when
reporting of an error may be delayed. An agent cannot report a PERR# until it has
claimed the access by asserting DEVSEL# (for a target) and completed a data phase
or is the master of the current transaction.
System Error is for reporting address parity errors, data parity errors on the Special
Cycle command, or any other system error where the result will be catastrophic. If an
agent does not want a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) to be generated, a different
reporting mechanism is required. SERR# is pure open drain and is actively driven for
a single PCI clock by the agent reporting the error. The assertion of SERR# is
synchronous to the clock and meets the setup and hold times of all bused signals.
However, the restoring of SERR# to the deasserted state is accomplished by a weak
pullup (same value as used for s/t/s) which is provided by the system designer and
not by the signaling agent or central resource. This pullup may take two to three
clock periods to fully restore SERR#. The agent that reports SERR#s to the
operating system does so anytime SERR# is sampled asserted.

3.11.38.6 Interrupts
PIRQ#
Interrupts on PCI are optional and defined as "level sensitive," asserted low (negative
true), using open drain output drivers. The assertion and deassertion of INTx# is
asynchronous to CLK. A device asserts its INTx# line when requesting attention from
its device driver. Once the INTx# signal is asserted, it remains asserted until the
device driver clears the pending request. When the request is cleared, the device
deasserts its INTx# signal. PCI defines one interrupt line for a single function device
and up to four interrupt lines for a multi-function
function device, only INTA# may be used while the other three interrupt lines have no
meaning. PIRQ# is connected to INTB#

These options allow you to specify IRQs for use by legacy ISA adapter cards. These
options determine if AMIBIOS should remove an IRQ from the pool of available IRQs
passed to BIOS configurable devices. The available IRQ pool is determined by reading
the ESCD NVRAM. If more IRQs must be removed from the pool, the end user can use
these PCI/PnP Setup options to remove the IRQ by assigning the option to the ISA/EISA
setting. Onboard I/O is configurable by AMIBIOS. The IRQs used by onboard I/O are
