PCI-bus devices serve as primary and secondary IDE hosts on the MOPSlcdGX1. BIOS automatically configures them, but you can disable them by using the BIOS Setup Utility. Resources used by primary and secondary IDE host adapters are compatible with the PC/AT.
The IDE controller supports the following modes:
• Ultra 33 DMA mode
• PIO modes up to Mode-4 timing
• Multiword DMA Mode 0, 1, 2 with independent timing
Use a master/slave daisy chain when connecting two devices to a single adapter. For more information on IDE-controller interfaces, please see the Appendix G:

MOPSlcdGX1 Product Manual chipDISK-IDE Interface

14. CHIPDISK-IDE INTERFACE
As an option, you can add Kontron Embedded Modules’ chipDISK-IDE to the MOPSlcdGX1 board. However, the boards support just two IDE drives on the interface. You can use one chipDISK-IDE and one hard disk or CD-ROM.
The chipDISK-IDE provides high-capacity, solid-state, Flash memory that is electrically compatible with an IDE disk drive. ChipDISK-IDE modules provide up to 192 MB of formatted storage capacity. A chipDISK has no mechanical parts.
The Flash Chipset (FCS) on chipDISK-IDE consists of two chips:
• A highly integrated flash controller
• One to three memory modules
The chipDISK-IDE controller provides a true IDE compatible interface to the host computer. The controller manages interfacing to the host system, data storage and retrieval, as well as electrical connectivity checks (ECC), defect handling and diagnostics and power management. The controller manages all defects and errors and makes the Flash memory appear as perfect memory to the host. After the chipDISK has been configured, it appears to the host as an IDE disk drive. The chipDISK-IDE is an IDE­compatible disk, which you plug into a 2.5”-IDE connector.
Features include:
• Direct plug in for 2.5” IDE connectors
• Very low power CMOS operation and ultra low power standby modes
• 5V +- 10% supply voltage
• No formatting and installation software needed
• 50-bit Reed Solomon ECC
• Automatic error correction and retry
• Automatic sleep mode
• 0°c to 60°C operating temperature range
• 44-pin, 2mm-IDE connector

MOPSlcdGX1 Product Manual Power

18. POWER
The MOPSlcdGX1 uses +5V-only modules. You have the choice of using +12V, -12V, and -5V, which may be necessary for other boards in the PC/104 system.
Power consumption of all available power pins on the MOPSlcdGX1 is limited to 5A in total (1A per pin, with two pins on the power connector, two pins on the XT-bus, and one pin on the AT-bus) and at GND up to 8A. Systems consuming more then 2A should not be served over the power connector only. Systems consuming more then 5A must provide power supply through an additional connector on another board.
Note: The MOPSlcdGX1 is not a replacement for a backplane. Use all power pins on the PC/104
connector for power supply to the MOPSlcdGX1, and additional I/O cards. It is not acceptable to use only the power pins of the PC/104 connector for power supply of the full
PC/104 stack.
18.1 VBAT (System Battery Connection)
Pin 3 connects a system battery to all modules. The battery voltage has to be higher than 2.2V and lower than 3. 5V. Kontron Embedded
Modules recommends a 3V battery (for example, CR2032). Your configuration is automatically saved in an onboard dynamic random access memory
(DRAM). You do need a battery to save the CMOS date and time when the power is off.

MOPSlcdGX1 Product Manual Watchdog Timer

19. WATCHDOG TIMER
The watchdog-timer (WDT) feature is implemented in the Winbond W83977A Super I/O device. You can configure the WDT from the BIOS setup utility to start after a set amount of time after power-on boot. The application software will strobe the WDT to prevent its timeout. Upon timeout, the WDT resets and restarts the system. This provides a way to recover from program crashes or lockups.
19.1 Configuration
You can program the timeout period for the WDT in ranges from 15 seconds to 30 hours and 15 minutes.
Refer to the Watchdog Settings Submenu in the Appendix B: BIOS Operation chapter for additional information on configuraton.

21.8 Updating or Restoring BIOS Using Phoenix Phlash
Phoenix Phlash allows you to update BIOS using a floppy disk without having to install a new ROM chip. Phoenix Phlash is a utility for flashing a BIOS to the Flash ROM installed on the MOPSlcdGX1.
Use Phoenix Phlash to:
• Update the current BIOS with a newer version
• Restore a corrupt BIOS
Kontron Embedded Modules Revision 1.3
55
Page 62
MOPSlcdGX1 Product Manual Appendix B: BIOS Operation
21.8.1 Flashing a BIOS
Use the following procedure to update or restore a BIOS.
1. Download the Phoenix Phlash compressed file, CRISPGX1.ZIP, from the Kontron
Embedded Modules Web site. It contains the following files:
File Purpose
MAKEBOOT.EXE Creates the custom boot sector on the Crisis Recovery Diskette. CRISBOOT.BIN Serves as the Crisis Recovery boot sector code. MINIDOS.SYS Allows the system to boot in Crisis Recovery Mode. PHLASH.EXE Programs the flash ROM. WINCRISIS.EXE Creates the Crisis Recovery Diskette from Windows. WINCRISIS.HLP Serves as the help file of W INCRISES.EXE. PLATFORM.BIN Performs platform-dependent functions. BIOS.ROM Serves as the actual BIOS image to be programmed into Flash ROM.
2. Install Phoenix Phlash on a hard disk by unzipping the content of CRISPGX1.ZIP
into a local directory such as C:\PHLASH.
3. Create a Crisis Recovery Diskette by inserting a blank diskette into Drive A: or B:
and execute WINCRISIS.EXE. This copies four files onto the diskette.
File Purpose
MINIDOS.SYS Allows the system to boot in Crisis Recovery Mode. PHLASH.EXE Programs the flash ROM. PLATFORM.BIN Performs platform-dependent functions. BIOS.ROM Serves as the actual BIOS image to be programmed into Flash ROM.
4. If the BIOS image (BIOS.ROM) changes due to an update or bug fix, copy the new
BIOS.ROM image (PGX1R119.ROM) onto the diskette.
Phoenix Phlash runs in one of two modes: ! Command line mode ! Crisis recovery mode
5. Use the command line mode to update or replace a BIOS. To execute Phlash in this
mode, move to the Crisis Recovery Disk and type:
PHLASH PGX1R110.ROM
Phoenix Phlash will update the BIOS. Phlash can fail if the system uses memory managers. If this occurs, the utility displays the following message:
Cannot flash when memory managers are present.
If you have a high-memory manager present, type:
PHLASH/X PGX1R110.ROM
Kontron Embedded Modules Revision 1.3

Page 63
MOPSlcdGX1 Product Manual Appendix B: BIOS Operation
21.8.2 Preventing Problems When Updating or Restoring BIOS
Updating the BIOS represents a potential hazard. Power failures or fluctuations that occur when you update the Flash ROM can damage the BIOS code, making the system unbootable.
To prevent this hazard, many systems come with a boot-block Flash ROM. The boot­block region contains a fail-safe recovery routine. If the boot-block code finds a corrupted BIOS (checksum fails), it boots into the crisis recovery mode and loads a BIOS image from a crisis diskette (see above).
Additionally, the end user can insert an update key into the LPT port to force initiating the boot block recovery routine.
For further information on the update key and the crisis diskette, see Kontron Embedded Modules application note JAP0034.

MOPSlcdGX1 Product Manual Appendix F: JIDA Standard

25. APPENDIX F: JIDA STANDARD
Every board with an on-board BIOS extension supports the following function calls, which supply information about the board. Jumptec Intelligent Device Architecture (JIDA) functions are called via Interrupt 15h. Functions include:
• AH=Eah
• AL=function number
• DX=4648h (security word)
• CL=board number (starting with 1)
The interrupt returns a CL≠0 if a board with the number specified in CL does not exist. CL will equal 0 if the board number exists. In this case, the content of DX determines if the operation was successful. DX=6B6Fh indicates success; other values indicate an error.
25.1 Obtaining Information about Boards that Use the JIDA Standard
To obtain information about the installed boards that follow the JIDA standard, use the following procedure.
1. Call Get BIOS ID with CL=1. The name of the first device installed will be returned. If you see the result Board
exists (CL=0), increment CL, and call Get BIOS ID again.
2. Repeat until you see Board not present (CL≠0).
You now know the names of boards that follow the JIDA standard.
3. You can find out more information about a specific board by calling the appropriate inquiry function with the board’s number in CL.
Note: Association between board and board number may change because of configuration
changes. Do not rely on associations between board and board number. Use the above procedure to determine the association between board and board number.
Refer to the JIDA manual in the jidai110.zip folder for further information on implementing and using JIDA calls with C sample code.
