BIOS SETUP

BIOS Introduction

The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer system’s ROM supports Intel processors. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for a standard device such as disk drives, serial ports and parallel ports. It also adds virus and password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system.

BIOS Setup

The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the Award BIOS is immediately activated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately allows you to enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the <Del> key, POST (Power On Self Test) will continue with its test routines, thus preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system by pressing the ”Reset” button or simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can also restart by turning the system Off and back On again. The following message will appear on the screen:

If this option is enabled, an alarm message will be displayed when trying to write on the boot sector or on the partition table on the disk, which is typical of the virus.

CPU L1 and L2 Cache

Cache memory is additional memory that is faster than conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type on up contain internal cache memory, and most, but not all, modern PCs have additional (external) cache memory. When the CPU requests data, the system transfers the requested data from the main DRAM into cache memory, for even faster access by the CPU. These allow you to enable (speed up memory access) or disable the cache function.

A. I/O Port Address Map

Each peripheral device in the system is assigned a set of I/O port addresses which also becomes the identity of the device. The fo llowing table lists the I/O port addresses used.

Address Device Description

000h - 01Fh DMA Controller #1 020h - 03Fh Interrupt Controller #1 040h - 05Fh Timer 060h - 06Fh Keyboard Controller 070h - 07Fh Real Time Clock, NMI 080h - 09Fh DMA Page Register 0A0h - 0BFh Interrupt Controller #2 0C0h - 0DFh DMA Controller #2 0F0h Clear Math Coprocessor Busy Signal 0F1h Reset Math Coprocessor 1F0h - 1F7h IDE Interface 278 - 27F Parallel Port #2(LPT2) 2F8h - 2FFh Serial Port #2(COM2) 2B0 - 2DF Graphics adapter Controller 378h - 3FFh Parallel Port #1(LPT1) 360 - 36F Network Ports 3B0 - 3BF Monochrome & Printer adapter 3C0 - 3CF EGA adapter 3D0 - 3DF CGA adapter 3F0h - 3F7h Floppy Disk Controller 3F8h - 3FFh Serial Port #1(COM1)

C. Watchdog Timer Configuration

The WDT is used to generate a variety of output signals after a user programmable count. The WDT is suitable for use in the prevention of system lock-up, such as when software becomes trapped in a deadlock. Under these sorts of circumstances, the timer will count to zero and the selected outputs will be driven. Under normal circumstance, the user will restart the WDT at regular intervals before the timer counts to zero.

SAMPLE CODE:

if (argc != 2) { printf(" Parameter incorrect!!\n"); return 1; }

if (Init_W627EHF() == 0) { printf(" Winbond 83627HF is not detected, program abort.\n"); return 1; } bTime = strtol (argv[1], endptr, 10); printf("System will reset after %d seconds\n", bTime);

EnableWDT(bTime);

return 0; } //===========================================================================
