SubCompact Board GENE-8310

1.1 Introduction

The GENE-8310 is the third generation of fanless solutions that
AAEON has released through their original design. It is more
advanced than previous SubCompact Boards, with higher
performance and lower power consumption. We believe the
GENE-8310 will become one of the best choices for our customers
who need a higher requirement in processor ability with excellent
power consumption control.
The GENE-8310 derives its excellent functionality from several
distinctive features:

Superb Performance and Controllable Power Usage

The Gene-8310 utilizes the newest generation Intel
Voltage Celeron

®

processor and chipset. With its low-power

®

Ultra Low

consumption platform, the GENE-8310 offers a stable and efficient
computing platform which not only exceeds past products but also
solves your problem when attempting to balance performance and
power consumption. The obvious benefit is that the GENE-8310 is
more flexible and can be used widely even in development for a
new application field.

Multiple Display Modes

The previous generation of fanless 3.5” SubCompact Boards can
usually provide a basic display mode due to the limitation of board
size and power consumption; nevertheless, the GENE-8310 offers
diverse display modes based upon the support provided by the

Chapter 1 General Information 1-2

SubCompact Board GENE-8310

Intel® platform. It has the best graphics capability among current

3.5” SubCompact Boards. In addition, the GENE-8310 supports
CRT, LCD, DVI and TV-out which can meet your requirements. The
result is you will never need to worry about the limitations of board
size and power consumption using this SubCompact Board for
sophisticated graphics output.

Wide Expansion Capability

Although the GENE-8310 measures only 5.75” x 4”, that does not
affect its expansion ability because of the presence of an onboard
Mini PCI slot. Hence, the GENE-8310 allows a greater variety of
expansion interfaces in a very small space. Compared with PC/104
modules, Mini PCI modules are cheaper in price and more helpful
for saving system space. The GENE-8310 is the optimum 3.5”
Board for expansion capability.
Not all customers have needs that can be easily satisfied by a 3.5”
board that only has limited features due to its small-size and fanless
operation. The GENE-8310 has been endowed by our engineers
with features that can meet the high CPU loads of complex
application needs with higher performance and multiple functionalit y.
This SubCompact Board will meet the stringent demands of the
embedded market by fulfilling the requirements of faster processor
speed with fanless operation, better graphics and small size.

2.1 Safety Precautions

Always completely disconnect the power cord
from your board whenever you are working on
it. Do not make connections while the power is
on, because a sudden rush of power can
damage sensitive electronic components.

Always ground yourself to remove any static
charge before touching the board. Modern
electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at
all times. Place all electronic components on a
static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded
bag when they are not in the chassis

2.6 Setting Jumpers

You configure your card 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
pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.

Open Closed Closed 2-3

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 change.

Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most
connections.

3.1 System Test and Initialization

These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the
routines encounter an error during the tests, you will either
hear a few short beeps or see an error message on the
screen. There are two kinds of errors: fatal and non-fatal. The
system can usually continue the boot up sequence with
non-fatal errors. Non-fatal error messages usually appear on
the screen along with the following instructions:

Press <F1> to RESUME
Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue

the boot up sequence.

System configuration verification

These routines check the current system configuration
against the values stored in the CMOS memory. If they do
not match, the program outputs an error message. You will
then need to run the BIOS setup program to set the
configuration information in memory.

There are three situations in which you will need to change
the CMOS settings:

1. You are starting your system for the first time

2. You have changed the hardware attached to your system

3. The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration
information has been erased.

The GENE-8310 CMOS memory has an integral lithium
battery backup for data retention. However, you will need to
replace the complete unit when it finally runs down.

3.2 Award BIOS Setup

Awards BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows
users to modify the basic system configuration. This type of
information is stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that it
retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.

Power on the computer and press <Del> immediately. This
will allow you to enter Setup.

Appendix A P rogramming the Watchdog Timer A-1

SubCompact Board GENE-8310

A.1 Programming

GENE-8310 utilizes ITE 8712 chipset as its watchdog timer
controller. Below are the procedures to complete its
configuration and the AAEON intial watchdog timer program
is also attached based on which you can develop customized
program to fit your application.

Configuring Sequence Description

After the hardware reset or power-on reset, the ITE 8712
enters the normal mode with all logical devices disabled
except KBC. The initial state (enable bit ) of this logical
device (KBC) is determined by the state of pin 121 (DTR1#)
at the falling edge of the system reset during power-on reset.

There are three steps to complete the configuration setup: (1)
Enter the MB PnP Mode; (2) Modify the data of configuration
registers; (3) Exit the MB PnP Mode. Undesired result may

Appendix A P rogramming the Watchdog Timer A-2

SubCompact Board GENE-8310

occur if the MB PnP Mode is not exited normally.

(1) Enter the MB PnP Mode

To enter the MB PnP Mode, four special I/O write operations
are to be performed during Wait for Key state. To ensure the
initial state of the key-check logic, it is necessary to perform
four write opera-tions to the Special Address port (2EH). Two
different enter keys are provided to select configuration ports
(2Eh/2Fh) of the next step.

(2) Modify the Data of the Registers

All configuration registers can be accessed after entering the
MB PnP Mode. Before accessing a selected register, the
content of Index 07h must be changed to the LDN to which
the register belongs, except some Global registers.

(3) Exit the MB PnP Mode

Set bit 1 of the configure control register (Index=02h) to 1 to
exit the MB PnP Mode.

Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer A-3

SubCompact Board GENE-8310

WatchDog Timer Configuration Registers

Configure Control (Index=02h)

This register is write only. Its values are not sticky; that is to
say, a hardware reset will automatically clear the bits, and
does not require the software to clear them.
