Watchdog Timer
5.1 Watchdog Timer
The operation of the Nupro-850’s watchdog timer is described in this chapter.
An overview of the watchdog operation and features, as well as the
programming procedure is provided to give the user an insight into the
workings of the watchdog timer.
5.1.1 WDT Overview
The primary function of the watchdog timer is to monitor the Nupro-850’s
operation and to generate IRQ or to reset the system should the software fail to
function as programmed. The major features of the watchdog timer are:
z Enabled and disabled through software control
z Armed and strobed through software control
The Nupro-850’s custom watchdog timer circuit is integrated in the south
bridge 6300ESB.
Watchdog Timer • 35
The Intel 6300ESB ICH includes a two-stage Watchdog Timer (WDT) that
provides a resolution that ranging from 1 micro second to 10 minutes. The
timer uses a 35-bit Down-Counter. The counter is loaded with the value from
the first Preload register. The timer is then enabled and starts counting down.
The time at which the WDT first starts counting down is called the first stage. If
the host fails to reload the WDT before the 35-bit down counter reaches zero
the WDT generates an internal interrupt. After the interrupt is generated, the
WDT loads the value from the second Preload register into the WDT’s 35-bit
Down-Counter and starts counting down. The WDT is now in second stage. If
the host still fails to reload the WDT before the second timeout, the WDT drives
the WDT_TOUT# pin low. The WDT_TOUT# pin is held low until the system is
reset.
The WDT of 6300ESB also supports multiple modes, WDT and free-running.
Free-running mode is a one stage timer and it will toggle WDT_TOUT# after
programmable time. WDT mode is a two stage timer and its operation is
described as above.
5.1.2 Configuration Registers
The Intel® 6300ESB ICH WDT, appears to BIOS as PCI Bus 0, Device 29,
Function 4, and has the standard set of PCI Configuration register. The
following describes the configuration registers.
Offset 10H: Base Address Register (BAR)
This register determines the memory base for WDT down-counter setting. It
will be used to set Preload value 1 register, Preload value 2 register, General
Interrupt Status register and Reload register.
Preload Value 1 & 2 registers
These two registers are used to hold the preload value for the WDT timer. Its
value will be automatically transferred into the down-counter every time the
WDT enters the first and second stage. Preload Value 1 register is located at
Base + 00H and Preload Value 2 register is located at Base + 04H. Only bit
[19:0] are settable.
The register unlocking sequence is necessary whenever writing to the Preload
registers. Instructions for writing a value into preload value 1&2 register are as
follows:
1. Write 80H to offset BAR + 0CH.
2. Write 86H to offset BAR + 0CH.
3. Write desired value to preload register. (BAR + 00H or BAR + 04H)
36 • Watchdog Timer
General Interrupt Status Register
This register is at Base + 08H. Bit 0 is set when the first stage of down-counter
reaches zero.
Bit 0 = 0 – No Interrupt
Bit 1 = 1 – Interrupt Active
NOTE: This bit is not set in free-running mode.
Reload Register
This register is at Base + 0CH. Write 1 to bit 8 will reload the down-counter’s
value. To prevent a timeout:
1. Write 80H to offset BAR + 0CH
2. Write 86H to offset BAR + 0CH
3. Write a ‘1’ to RELOAD[8] of the reload register
Offset 60 – 61H: WDT Configuration Register
Bit 5 indicates whether or not the WDT will toggle the WDT_TOUT# pin when
WDT times out. (0 = Enabled, 1 = Disabled)
Bit 2 provides two options for prescaling the main down-counter. (0 = 1ms –
10min, 1 = 1us – 1sec)
Bit [1:0] allows the user to choose the type of interrupt desired when the WDT
reached the end of the first stage without being reset. (00 = IRQ, 01 = reserved,
10 = SMI, 11 = Disabled)
NOTE: The WDT does not support SMI now. IRQ uses APIC 1, INT 10 and it is
active low, level triggered.
Offset 68H: WDT Lock Register
Bit 2 is used to choose the functionality of the timer. (0 = Watchdog Timer
mode, 1 = Free running mode) The free-running mode ignores the first stage
and only uses Preload Value 2. In free-running mode it is not necessary to
reload the timer as it is done automatically every time the down-counter
reaches zero.
Bit 1 enables or disables the WDT. (0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled)
Bit 0 will lock the values of this register until a hard reset occurs or power is
cycled. (0 = unlocked, 1 = locked) The default is Unlocked.

5.1.2 GPIO Control Registers
There are two GPIOs on Nupro-850 that relate to watchdog timer. They are
listed below. The GPIO control base port is 480H.
WDT_TOUT# pin selection
WDT_TOUT# signal is multiplexed with GPIO32. When using WDT, this signal
must be switched to WDT_TOUT# function. It used bit 0 of GPIOBASE + 30H
to set WDT_TOUT function. (0 = WDT_TOUT#, 1 = GPIO32)
WDT LED Control
GPO25 of 6300ESB is designed to control WDT LED. Two features of WDT
LED are supported on Nupro-850’s WDT LED lights or blinks.
WDT LED light
Set bit 25 of GPIOBASE + 04H to 0. Bit 25 of GPIOBASE + 0CH determines
the state of WDT LED. (0 = light, 1 = dark)
WDT LED blink
Set bit 25 of GPIOBASE + 04H to 0. Bit 25 of GPIOBASE + 18H enables WDT
LED blinking function. (0 = function normally, 1 = enable blinking) The high and
low times have approximately 0.5 seconds each.
5.1.3 The procedure of programming WDT
Step 1: Make sure WDT_TOUT# signal is workable. (Not GPIO32 function).
Step 2: Set WDT output enable, presecaler and interrupt type into WDT
configuration register.
Step 3: Get control base from Base Address register.
Step 4: Program Preload register’s value according to unlocking sequence.
Step 5: Set WDT timer mode into WDT Lock Register.
Step 6: Enable WDT from WDT Lock register and program which
functionality of WDT LED will be.
To keep the timer from causing an interrupt or driving WDT_TOUT#, the timer
must be reloaded periodically. The frequency of reloads required is dependent
on the value of the preload values. To reload the down-counter, the register
unlocking sequence must be performed.
To disable WDT, Set bit 1 of WDT Lock Register to 0.

ePCI-X Bus Details
6.1 NuPRO-850 ePCI-X Bus
The NuPRO-850 provides PCI-X/PCI buses. Bus-A can run up to 64-bit PCI-X
66. Bus-B can run PCI 33MHz.
The ePCI-X Bus pin assignment is compatible with the PICMG 1.2 ePCI-X
specifications. In the following sections, we will describe the detail signal
definition and the design guide for the backplane designer to be compatible
with the NuPRO-850 ePCI-X bus.
6.2 Global Signals
6.2.1 Standby Supply (+3.3Vaux)
The NuPRO-850 onboard circuit generate 3.3Vaux power from the +5Vaux or
+5V. Therefore, NuPRO-850 does not require the backplane to provide
+3.3Vaux.
6.2.2 ATX Support
The ATX support signals include PWRGD, PSON#, PWRBT#, +5Vaux. The
NuPRO-850 design provides the ATX power control capability.
If the backplane did not provide the +5Vaux, then the PWRBT# and PSON#
will not work under ATX power mode. Users have to setup the external w iring to
switch on/off the power supply.
6.2.3 JTAG
NuPRO-850 does NOT implement the JTAG signals.
6.2.4 I2C Bus
The onboard SMBus is connected to the SER_SCL and SER_SDA pins.
