Chapter 4 BIOS
BIOS are a program located on a Flash memory chip on a circuit board. It is used to
initialize and set up the I/O peripherals and interface cards of the system, which
includes time, date, hard disk drive, the ISA bus and connected devices such as the
video display, diskette drive, and the keyboard. This program will not be lost when
you turn off the system.
The BIOS provides a menu-driven interface to the console subsystem. The console
subsystem contains special software, called firmware that interacts directly with the
hardware components and facilitates interaction between the system hardware and
the operating system.
The BIOS default values ensure that the system will function at its normal capability.
In the worst situation the user may have corrupted the original settings set by the
manufacturer.
All the changes you make will be saved in the system RAM and will not be lost after
power-off.
Page 19
Korenix | BIOS 19
When you start the system, the BIOS will perform a self-diagnostics test called Power
On Self Test (POST) for all the attached devices, accessories, and the system. Press
the [Del] key to enter the BIOS Setup program, and then the main menu will show on
the screen.
Note 3: Change the parameters when you fully understand their functions and

4-2-2-2 Primary/Secondary IDE Master/Slave
IDE hard drive controllers can support up to two separate hard drives. These drives
Page 25
Korenix | BIOS 25
have a master/slave relationship, which is determined by the cabling configuration
used to attach them to the controller. Your system supports one IDE controller – a
primary – so you have the ability to install up to two separate hard disks.
LBA/Large Mode
LBA (Logical Block Addressing) is a method of addressing data on a disk drive. In LBA
mode, the maximum drive capacity is 137 GB. The Optimal and Fail-Safe default
setting is Auto
Hard Disk Type
The BIOS supports various types for user settings, The BIOS supports <Pri Master>,
<Pri Slave>, so the user can install up to two hard disks. For the master and slave
jumpers, please refer to the hard disk’s installation descriptions and the hard disk
jumper settings.
You can select <AUTO> under the <TYPE> and <MODE> fields. This will Enabled
auto detection of your IDE drives during boot up. This will allow you to change your
hard drives (with the power off) and then power on without having to reconfigure
your hard drive type. If you use older hard disk drives, which do not support this
feature, then you must configure the hard disk drive in the standard method as
described above by the <USER> option.
PIO MODE
PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than have the BIOS issue a series of
commands to affect a transfer to or from the disk drive, PIO allows the BIOS to tell
the controller what it wants and then let the controller and the CPU perform the
complete task by them. This is simpler and more efficient (and faster). Your
system supports five modes, numbered from 0 to 4, which primarily differ in timing.
When Auto is selected, the BIOS will select the best available mode.
BLOCK (Multi-Sector Transfer)
This option allows your hard disk controller to use the fast block mode to transfer
data to and from your hard disk drive (HDD).

5-5 Watchdog Timer
This section describes how to use the Watchdog Timer, including disabled, enabled,
and trigger functions.
The JetBox is equipped with a programmable time-out period watchdog timer. You
can use your own program to Enabled the watchdog timer. Once you have enabled
the watchdog timer, the program should trigger the I/O every time before the timer
times out. If your program fails to trigger or disable this timer before it times out, e.g.
because of a system hang-up, it will generate a reset signal to reset the system. The
time-out period can be programmed to be set from 1 to 255 seconds or minutes.
Watchdog Timer Setting
The watchdog timer is a circuit that may be used from your program software to
detect system crashes or hang-ups. The watchdog timer is automatically disabled
Page 49
Korenix | Software Installation 49
after reset.
Once you have enabled the watchdog timer, your program must trigger the watchdog
timer every time before it times out. After you trigger the watchdog timer, it will be
set to non-zero value to watchdog counter and start to count down again. If your
program fails to trigger the watchdog timer before time-out, it will generate a reset
pulse to reset the system.
The factor of the watchdog timer time-out constant is approximately 1 second. The
period for the watchdog timer time-out is between 1 to FF timer factors.
If you want to reset your system when watchdog times out, the following table listed
the relation of timer factors between time-out periods.
Watchdog Timer Enabled
To Enabled the watchdog timer, you have to output a byte of timer factor to the
watchdog register whose address is 2Eh and data port is 2fH. The following is an
Assemble program, which demonstrates how to enable the watchdog timer and set
the time-out period at 28 seconds.

enabling to the watchdog register at least once every time-out period to its previous
setting. You can change the time-out period by writing another timer factor to the
watchdog register at any time, and you must trigger the watchdog before the new
time-out period in next trigger.

6-2 Serial Ports
The ACEs (Asynchronous Communication Elements ACE1 to ACE2) are used to
convert parallel data to a serial format on the transmit side and convert serial data to
parallel on the receiver side. The serial format, in order of transmission and reception,
is a start bit, followed by five to eight data bits, a parity bit (if programmed) and one,
one and half (five-bit format only) or two stop bits. The ACEs are capable of handling
divisors of 1 to 65535, and produce a 16x clock for driving the internal transmitter
logic.
Provisions are also included to use this 16x clock to drive the receiver logic, also
included in the ACE a completed MODEM control capability, and a processor
interrupt system that may be software tailored to the computing time required to
handle the communications link.
