2-3. HOW TO SET THE JUMPERS

You can configure your board by setting jumpers. Jumper is consists of two or three metal pins with a plastic base mounted on the card, and by using a small plastic "cap", Also known as the jumper cap (with a metal contact inside), you are able to connect the pins. So you can set-up your hardware configuration by "open" or "close" pins.

The jumper can be combined into sets that called jumper blocks. When the jumpers are all in the block, you have to put them together to set up the hardware configuration. The figure below shows how this looks like.

JUMPERS AND CAPS

If a jumper has three pins (for examples, labelled PIN1, PIN2, and PIN3), You can connect PIN1 & PIN2 to create one setting by shorting. You can either connect PIN2 & PIN3 to create another setting. The same jumper diagrams are applied all through this manual. The figure below shows what the manual diagrams look and what they represent.

EB-591LF USER′S MANUAL

4-1. INTRODUCTION

The board Prox-E591LF uses an AMI Aptio BIOS that is stored in the Serial Peripheral Interface Flash Memory (SPI Flash) and can be updated. The SPI Flash contains the BIOS setup menu, Power-on Self-test (POST), the PCI auto-configuration utility, LAN EEPROM information, and Plug and Play support.

Aptio is AMI’s BIOS firmware based on the UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) specifications and the Intel Platform Innovation Framework for EFI. The UEFI specification defines an interface between an operating system and platform firmware. The interface consists of data tables that contain platform-related information, boot service calls, and runtime service calls that are available to the operating system and its loader. These provide standard environment for booting an operating system and running pre-boot applications.

Following illustration shows Extensible Firmware Interface’s position in the software stack.

Chapter 4 AMI BIOS Setup

EB-591LF USER′S MANUAL

Page: 4-3

EFI BIOS provides an user interface allow users the ability to modify hardware configuration, e.g. change system date and time, enable or disable a system component, decide bootable device priorities, setup personal password, etc., which is convenient for modifications and customization of the computer system and allows technicians another method for finding solutions if hardware has any problems.

The BIOS setup menu can be used to view and change the BIOS settings for the computer. The BIOS setup menu is accessible by pressing the <Del> or <F2> key on keyboard during the POST stage, right before the operating system is loading. All the settings are described in chapter to be followed.

WATCHDOG TIMER CONFIGURATION

Watchdog timer feature in E6xx processor provides a resolution that ranges from 1 µs to 10 minutes. The timer uses a 35-bit down-counter.

After the interrupt is generated the WDT loads the value from the Preload register into the WDT’s 35-bit Down-Counter and starts counting down. If the host fails to reload the WDT before the timeout, the WDT drives the GPIO[4] pin high and sets the timeout bit (WDT_TIMEOUT). This bit indicates that the System has become unstable. The GPIO[4] pin is held high until the system is Reset or the WDT times out again (depends on TOUT_CNF). The process of reloading the WDT involves the following sequence of writes:

1. Write “80” to offset Bar1 + 0Ch

2. Write “86” to offset Bar1 + 0Ch

3. Write ‘1’ to WDT_RELOAD in Reload Register

The same process is used for setting the values in the preload registers. The only difference exists in step 3. Instead of writing a ‘1’ to the WDT_RELOAD, you write the desired preload value into the corresponding Preload register. This value is not loaded into the 35-bit down counter until the next time the WDT reenters the stage. For example, if Preload Value 2 is changed, it is not loaded into the 35-bit down counter until the next time the WDT enters the second stage. GPIO[4] is used for WDT output (WDT_TOUT) when it is not enabled for GPIO (CGEN[4] = 0).

Features

Selectable Prescaler – approximately 1 MHz (1 µs to 1 s) and approximately 1 KHz (1 ms to 10 min).

 33 MHz Clock (30 ns Clock Ticks)  WDT Mode:

Drives GPIO[4] high or inverts the previous value. Used only after first timeout occurs. Status bit preserved in RTC well for possible error detection and correction. Drives GPIO[4] if OUTPUT is enabled.

 Timer can be disabled (default state) or Locked (Hard Reset required to disable

WDT).

WDT Automatic Reload of Preload value when WDT Reload Sequence is performed. In WDT mode, users need to program the preload value 1 register to all 0’s.

Example Steps

Enable and start watchdog timer, where Bar1 equals to 280h:

------ Step 1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Set CGEN[4]=0

------ Step 2 PCI enable Watchdog ------------------------------------------------------------

D31:F00 84H~87H set 80020080

------ Step 3 set WDTCR - WDT Configuration Register (offset 10h) ------------------

bit4 WDT Reset Enable set "1" bit2 WDT Prescaler Select set "1"

------ Step 4 set PV1R0 -Preload Value 1 Register 0&1 ----------------------------------

write "80" to offset Bar1 +0Ch write "86" to offset Bar1 +0Ch write "1" to WDT_RELOAD in Reload Register

------ Step 5 start to count -----------------------------------------------------------------------

set WDTLR - WDT Lock Register (offset 18h) bit 1 to "1"

Flash BIOS Update

I. Before System BIOS update

1. Prepare a bootable media (ex. USB storage device) which can boot system to DOS prompt.

2. Copy AMI flash utility for MS-DOS afudos (latest version 2.36) onto bootable device.

3. Download and save the BIOS file (e.g. E5910T05.rom) to the same folder as afudos utility.

4. Make sure the target system can first boot to the bootable device. a. Connect the bootable USB device. b. Turn on the computer and press <F2> or <Del> key during boot to enter

BIOS setup menu.

c. System will go into the BIOS setup menu.

Appendix B Technical Summary

EB-591LF USER′S MANUAL

Page: B-13

d. Select [Boot] menu as shown on picture below.

e. Select [Hard Drive BBS Priorities], set the USB bootable device to be the

1st boot device.

f. Press <F4> key to save configuration and exit the BIOS setup menu.

EB-591LF USER′S MANUAL

II. AFUDOS Command for System BIOS Update

AFUDOS.exe is aforementioned AMI firmware update utility; the command line is shown as below:

AFUDOS <ROM File Name> [option1] [option2]…

You can type AFUDOS /? to see all the definition of each control options. The recommended options for BIOS ROM update consist of following parameters:

/P: program main BIOS image /B: program Boot Block /N: program NVRAM /X: don’t check ROM ID

Appendix B Technical Summary

EB-591LF USER′S MANUAL

Page: B-15

III. BIOS update procedure

1. Use the bootable USB device to boot up system into the MS-DOS command prompt.

2. Type in

AFUDOS E591xxxx.rom /p /b /n /x and press enter to start the flash

procedure. (Note that xxxx means the BIOS revision part, i.e. 0P01)

3. During the update procedure, you will see the BIOS update process status and its percentage. Beware! Do not turn off system power or reset your computer if the whole procedure are not complete yet, or it may crash the BIOS ROM and make system unable to boot up next time.

4. After BIOS update procedures is complete, the messages from afudos utility should be like the figure shown right below:

5. Youcan restart the system and boot up with new BIOS now.

6. Update is complete after restart.
