2.1Introduction
This sec tion of the man ual is in tended to pro vide suf fi cient in for ma tion re gard ing the
con figu ra tion and us age of the LPM/MCM-DX5 board. Win Sys tems main tains a Tech ni cal
Sup port Group to help an swer ques tions re gard ing con figu ra tion, us age, or pro gram ming
of the board. For an swers to ques tions not ade quately ad dressed in this man ual, con tact
Tech ni cal Sup port at (817) 274- 7553 be tween 8AM and 5PM Cen tral Time.
2.2Auctor 2089 Chipset
The LPM/MCM-DX5 util izes the ACC Mi cro 2089 Chipset which pro vides a highly
in te grated, high- performance back bone for full PC/AT com pati bil ity. The 2089 con tains
the logic for DRAM, CPU and Bus State con trol as well as the stan dard com ple ment of ‘AT’
class pe riph er als in ter nally, in clud ing :
8 DMA Chan nels com pati ble with PC- AT Con trol lers
15 In ter rupt in puts com pati ble with mas ter/slaved 8259 in ter rupt con trol lers
Three 82C54 com pati ble timer/coun ter chan nels
Two 82C50 com pati ble UARTS
EPP/ECP LPT Port
765B com pati ble Floppy Disk Controller
PC-AT com pati ble real time clock/cal en dar with CMOS
The func tional units are 100% PC- AT com pati ble and are sup ported by the Award BIOS
and Setup. Us ers de sir ing to ac cess these in ter nal pe riph er als di rectly should ref er to any
manu fac tur er’s ge neric lit era ture on the equiva lent dis crete com po nent.
There are a number of in ter nal reg is ters within the 2089 Chipset sec tion that are used
by the BIOS for con trol and con figu ra tion. Ref er to the I/O Map in Ap pen dix A for port

The LPM/MCM-DX5 con tains an on board Clock/Cal en dar from Dal las Semi-
Con duc tor. The DS12885 is fully com pati ble with the MC146818A used in the origi nal PC AT com put ers. This clock has a number of fea tures in clud ing pe ri odic and alarm interru pt
ca pa bili ties. In ad di tion to the Time and Date keep ing func tions, the sys tem con figu ra ti on
is kept in CMOS RAM con tained within the clock sec tion. This RAM holds all of the setup
in for ma tion re gard ing hard and floppy disk types, video type, shad ow ing, wait states, etc.
Ref er to the sec tion on the Award BIOS Setup for com plete in for ma tion on what is
con fig ured via the CMOS RAM.
It may be come nec es sary at some time to make the CMOS RAM for get its cur rent
con figu ra tion and to start fresh with fac tory de faults. This may be ac com plished by first
re mov ing power and the board from the sys tem. Secondly, re move the jumper from J16
pins 1-2 and place on pins 2-3. Thirdly, short all 3 pins of J19 together for 2 sec onds. Finally
re place the jumper at J16 to its origi nal po si tion, re in stall the board, power up, and
re con fig ure the setup as desired.
NOTE : J16 must al ways be re in stalled. The sys tem will not func tion cor rectly with out
this jumper in stalled. If no battery is installed, jumper J16 pins 2-3.
2.4Keyboard Interface
The LPM/MCM-DX5 con tains an on board PC- AT style key board con trol ler.
Con nec tion is made through the Multi-I/O con nec tor at J15. An adapter ca ble, part number
CBL-162-1, or CBL-247-1 for PS2 type keyboard connections, are avail able from
Win Sys tems to make ready ac cess to all of the de vices ter mi nated at the Multi-I/O
con nec tor. Us ers de sir ing cus tom con nec tions should ref er to the Multi-I/O con nec tor pin

The LPM/MCM-DX5 board fea tures a power- on volt age de tect and a power down/power brown out re set cir cuit to pro tect mem ory and I/O from faulty CPU op era tion
dur ing pe ri ods of il le gal volt age lev els. This su per vi sory cir cuitry also fea tures a wa tch dog
timer which can be used to guard against soft ware lock ups. An in ter nal self-timer with a
pe ri od of 1.5 sec onds will, when en abled, re set the CPU if the watch dog has not been
serv iced (pet ted) within the al lot ted time. There are three watch dog op era tional modes
avail able on the LPM/MCM-DX5. With no jumper in stalled on J21, the watchdog is to tally
dis abled and can never re set the CPU. When J21 is jumpered pins 2-3, the watch dog cir cuit
is per ma nently en abled and tim ing be gins im me di ate ly with power- on. This mode is NOT
com pati ble with the Award BIOS or with MS- DOS, but is avail able for di rectly em bed ded
code that takes the place of the BIOS. The watch dog must be ac cessed at least every 1.5
sec onds or a re set will oc cur. Pet ting in this mode is ac com plished by writ ing to I/O port
1D0H with an al ter nat ing 1 and 0 value.
The al ter nate mode of op era tion is via soft ware en able/dis able con trol. This mode is set
by jump er ing J21 pins 1-2. In this mode the watch dog timer powers- up dis abled and must
be en abled in soft ware bef ore tim ing will be gin. Ena bling is ac com plished by writ ing a 1 t o
I/O port 1D0H. Writ ing a 0 to I/O port 1D0H will dis able the watch dog. Af ter ena bling, the
watch dog must be serv iced at least every 1.5 sec onds or a re set will oc cur. The pet ting is
ac com plished by sim ply writ ing any value to I/O port 1D8H. This mode of op era tion can be
used with the BIOS and DOS pro vided that the watch dog is dis abled bef ore mak ing any
ex ten sive BIOS or DOS calls, es pe cially video or disk I/O calls, which in some cases could
ex ceed the 1.5 sec onds al lowed. The draw back to this mode is that a lockup dur ing the time
the watch dog is dis abled will not al low for auto- recovery but will re quire an ex ter nal sourc e
for a re set.

board. The Solid State Disk socket may be jumpered for bat tery backup when us ing SRAMs
if de sired. Ref er to the Sili con Disk Con figu ra tion sec tion of this man ual for de tails. It may
be come nec es sary or de sir able at some time to erase the CMOS setup in for ma tion due to
in cor rect or un de sir able set tings which are caus ing an in abil ity to exe cute the setup uti l ity
or im proper op era tion. To reset the CMOS memory to factory defaults, remove the jumper
from J16 1-2 and place on J16 2-3. Then short all 3 pins of J19 together for 2 seconds, then
restore the jumper to J16 pins 1-2. This should result in the BIOS restoring defaults and
prompting for setup during the next boot. Ref er to sec tion 3, “Award BIOS Con figu ra tion”,

the amount of mem ory lo cated above 1MB in the CPU’s mem ory ad dress space.
Other Memory
This re fers to mem ory lo cated in the 640K to 1024K ad dress space. This is mem ory that
can be used for dif fer ent ap pli ca tions. DOS may use this area to load de vice driv ers and
TSRs to keep as much base mem ory free as pos si ble for ap pli ca tion pro grams. The most
com mon use of this area is for Shadow RAM.

4LPM/MCM-DX5 Silicon Disk Reference
4.1Introduction
Win Sys tems pro vides Sili con disk sup port for the LPM/MCM-DX5 us ing four dif fer ent
me dia types de pend ing on the needs of the ap pli ca tion.
1. The LPM/MCM-DX5 pro vides sup port for a boota ble ROM DISK with a size of up to 1
Mega byte. A sim ple disk im ag ing tech nique al lows for the easy crea tion and main te nance
of ROM DISKs. Since the boota ble ROM DISK is an ex act im age of a boota ble floppy
disk ette, all test ing and de bug ging can be ac com plished us ing a floppy drive. Once the
ap pli ca tion is ready for ROM, it’s a sim ple mat ter to use the MKDISK util ity to cre ate the
EPROM files nec es sary for the boota ble ROM DISK equiva lent of the func tion ing floppy
disk ette.
2. In ap pli ca tions re quir ing oc ca sional pro gram or data up dates, PEROM (Flash) disks
of 512K bytes may be used as the boot me dia. On board sup port is pro vided for the
for mat ting, read ing, and writ ing of the Floppy drive emu lat ing PEROMs.
3. For ap pli ca tions need ing to log data, up date the ap pli ca tion, or for con ven ience
dur ing de vel op ment, bat tery-backed SRAM may be used as the boot m edia with a size of
512K bytes.
4. The LPM/MCM-DX5 sup ports the M- Systems’ Disk On Chip de vice (DOC). These are
sin gle chip de vices con tain ing the BIOS Ex ten sion, True Flash File Sys tem (TrueFFS), and
a Flash ar ray rang ing in size from 8 Mega bytes to 288 Mega bytes. These de vices emu late a
Hard disk at the BIOS level.
4.2ROMDISK Usage
MKDISK is a menu driven util ity for cre at ing the ROM im age du pli cat ing the desired
floppy disk ette. MKDISK is in voked at the DOS com mand line with :

and the ex ten sion (.BIN, .HEX, .S19) in di cates the out put for mat for Bi nary, Hex, and
Mo torola re spec tively.
If more than one file is cre ated, it means that the disk will span more than a sin gle
EPROM. Once the ROM has been cre ated us ing the im age file, in stall the ROM, jumper for
cor rect ROM size, and en able the Sili con Disk boot op tion. The next power up should re sult
in a boot from the A : Sili con Disk. The ac tual floppy drive (if pres ent) will then be avail abl e
as drive B :.
4.3Bootable RAMDISK usage
The LPM/MCM-DX5 sup ports a boota ble RAM DISK of 512K bytes in size. A 512K X 8
Static RAM/PEROM can be in stalled in the board at U3. Once the RAM/PEROM is
in stalled, the de vice jump ers should be ap pro pri ately set as de scribed in sec tion 2.15. Af ter
power up, it is nec es sary to con fig ure the sili con disk for the ac tual size of the drive us i ng
the SSDINIT util ity. SSDINIT is in voked at the DOS com mand line with :
SSDINIT [A: | B: ] disk_size[K | M]
The K or M ar gu ments are op tional and are ac tu ally ig nored. Val ues be low 32 are
as sumed to be in Mega bytes while val ues above 32 are ass umed to be in Ki lo bytes. An
ex am ple might help to clar ify. To pre pare a 512K FLASH or SRAM disk for for mat ting
type :
SSDINIT B: 512K
Page 4-4OPERATIONS MANUAL LPM/MCM-DX5030116
WinSystems - "The Embedded Systems Authority"
The disk is now pre pared for for mat ting. The sys tem must be re booted prior to
for mat ting with the sim ple DOS com mand :
for mat b: /s/u
Af ter the next re set the for mat ted sili con disk will boot as the A: drive. If it is ever
nec es sary to by pass the sili con disk boot in or der to re for mat or to boot the ac tual floppy
drive, or the hard disk, sim ply press the <CTRL><ALT><LSHIFT> keys
si mul ta ne ously im me di ate ly fol low ing dis play of the BIOS con figu ra tion BOX. The
mes sage :
Sili con Disk Boot Aborted by User
will be dis played and the sys tem will boot from one of the avail able boot drives.
IM POR TANT NOTE : The FLASH DISK is fully write able at all times but is not
rec om mended for con tinu ous up dat ing or data log ging. The on board BIOS im ple ments a
sim ple FAT based file sys tem (iden ti cal to a floppy disk) with no wear lev el ing
im ple mented. The PEROMs can and will wear out with ex ces sive write cy cles. Atmel
speci fies at least 10,000 write cy cles.
4.4Non-Bootable RAMDISK Usage
A non- bootable RAM DISK is of ten de sired in con junc tion with ro ta tional me dia. It can
then be used for pro gram up dates, pa rame ter stor age, or data log ging ap pli ca tions. A
non boota ble RAM DISK uses the Win Sys tems Uni ver sal Solid State Disk Driver (USSD)
which is loaded via the boot me dia’s CON FIG.SYS file with the en try :
where the 512 in /DSZ:512 is the size of the disk in Ki lo bytes and the 80 in the /SPG:80 is
the start ing page ad dress in the ar ray for this sili con disk. This hexa deci mal value is
ac tu ally the count of 32K byte blocks pre ced ing the start of the RAM DISK.
NOTE : USSD, as is the con ven tion with DOS instal la ble disk de vices, cre ates a drive
with the NEXT AVAIL ABLE drive let ter. Drives A: and B: are al ways re served for the
physi cal floppy drive or the BIOS sup ported boota ble Sili con Disk. In a sys tem with out a
hard disk, the next avail able drive let ter would be C:. In a sys tem with one or more hard
drive par ti tions, the sili con disk cre ated with USSD will be the first avail able let ter
fol low ing any other drive let ters al ready in use. Also note, that it is never nec es sary to
for mat a disk cre ated with USSD. The disks are self for mat ting us ing the size and ad dress
in for ma tion pro vided on the CON FIG.SYS in vo ca tion line. Dur ing ini tiali za tion, USSD
ex am ines the sili con disk to de ter mine if a disk al ready ex ists which matches the
030116OPERATIONS MANUAL LPM/MCM-DX5Page 4-5
WinSystems - "The Embedded Systems Authority"
pa rame ters speci fied. If so, no ac tion is taken and the disk is used as is. If there is not a d isk
of the type and size speci fied, it is cre ated.
4.5Non-Bootable Flash Disk Usage
The Atmel 5 volt Flash Part (29C040/29C040A) may also be used as a non- bootable
drive in a man ner nearly iden ti cal to the RAM DISK us age de scribed in the pre vious
sec tion. The only change when us ing USSD for the Atmel PEROMs is the ad di tion of the
/EPT:256 pa rame ter to the CON FIG.SYS line which in stalls the USSD driver. An ex am ple
us ing the 512K PEROM de vice would need the line :
in the CON FIG.SYS file on the floppy or hard disk. This in vo ca tion will cre ate a 512K
Flash disk in U3. Ref er to the pre vious sec tion on non- bootable RAM DISK us age for
ad di tional de tails re gard ing the USSD driver.
4.6DiskOnChip Usage
The LPM/MCM-DX5 sup ports the M- System’s Disk On Chip (DOC) Flash de vice in sizes
rang ing from 8MB to 288MB. The DOC de vice con tains a BIOS ex ten sion, the TrueFFS
(True Flash File Sys tem), and the flash mem ory all in a sin gle 32- pin de vice. The DOC,
un like the other Win Sys tems’ SSD sup port for the LPM/MCM-DX5, emu lates a hard disk
rather than a floppy disk. The DOC can be used as a sec on dary hard disk to a physi cal IDE
drive or it can be the only hard disk in the sys tem.
The DOC is in stalled into the socket at U29. Ref er to Sec tion 2.17 for cor rect de vice
jump er ing and ena bling of the DOC.
4.6.1DOC Initialization
The DOC is ini tial ized in an iden ti cal fash ion to a fixed disk. DOS is booted (from floppy
or hard disk), FDISK is run on the DOC drive (be sure to get the right drive), the sys tem is
re booted and then the DOC is for mat ted us ing the DOS for mat com mand.
If the /S switch was used dur ing for mat ting and there is no other fixed disk de vice
speci fied or at tached to the sys tem, the DOC will be come the boot de vice. If a hard disk is
pres ent, the DOC will be come a sec on dary fixed disk.

5SERIAL CONSOLE REFERENCE
5.1 Introduction
This section documents the usage of the WinSystems’ Serial Console feature present on
the LPM/MCM-DX5 board. The serial console consists of special BIOS code and a special
terminal program used to communicate with the board. The principal design criteria for
the serial console was the ability to access the Award CMOS setup options without the need
for a standard keyboard or video adapter and monitor. This allows embedded system
designers and technicians access to CMOS setup on the LPM/MCM-DX5 using only a
laptop computer.
5.2 Wincom.exe Serial Console Client
Wincom.exe is the application run on the laptop or other 100% PC compatible in order
to access the LPM/MCM-DX5. The client is started on the DOS command line with :
WIN COM port in ter rupt baud_rate
'port' is re placed with the I/O port ad dress of the de sired com port in hex. i.e. 3F8 for
COM1 and 2F8 for COM2. This al lows for the us age of non stan dard ad dresses for COM
ports.
'i nte rrupt' is re placed with the IRQ number as signed to the de sired COM port, typi cally
the val ues would be 4 for COM1 and 3 for COM2.
‘Baud_rate’ is re placed with one of the fol low ing val ues
1200
2400
4800
9600
19200
38400
57600
115200
which is the baud_rate to use for the connection. Higher baud_rates mean snappier
response but may be limited due to the client PC. The best compromise for speed and
reliability in testing was 38400. The baud_rate MUST be matched to the “Console Baud
Rate” selected in CMOS setup (discussed later) in order for the systems to communicate.
030116OPERATIONS MANUAL LPM/MCM-DX5Page 5-1
WinSystems - "The Embedded Systems Authority"
NOTE : Wincom runs best in a pure DOS environment. It is possible to use Wincom in a
DOS box under Windows but there are a few limitations to doing so and success is not
always a sure thing due to differences in low-level hardware drivers. It is recommended
that a DOS boot-floppy be made containing Wincom.exe which can be used when access to
the LPM/MCM-DX5 is desired.
When run in a “pure” DOS environment, all keys and key combinations are passed
directly to the target LPM/MCM-DX5 such that even the infamous three-finger-salute
<CTL><ALT><DEL> will result in the target system performing a warm reboot. There
are, however, three keystroke combinations reserved by Wincom.
<ALT><END> Exits WINCOM back to DOS
<ALT><PgUp> Prompts for upload filename. (Used in conjunction with scopy.exe)
<ALT><PgDn> Prompts for download filename.(Used in conjunction with scopy.exe)
5.3 Getting Started with the Serial Console
The LPM/MCM-DX5 defaults to a standard video/keyboard configuration. In order to
gain access to the system the first time the following steps must be followed.
1. Copy WINCOM.EXE onto a DOS boot disk for the client (terminal) machine.
2. Attach a Null-Modem cable between COM1 of the LPM/MCM-DX5 and a free COM
port on the client machine.
3. Boot up the client machine and run Wincom.exe
if attached to COM1 on the client type:
win com 3f8 4 38400 <En ter>
if attached to COM2 on the client, type:
win com 2f8 3 38400 <En ter>
4. Wait for wincom to finish initializing and the screen to clear. A totally blank screen is
perfectly normal at this point.
5. Apply power to the LPM/MCM-DX5. The BIOS should sense a Wincom attachment to
its COM1 port and turn on the serial console for that port at the default rate of 38400 baud.
6. The sign-on messages should be visible on the client screen. Press <DEL> during the
memory test to access CMOS setup.

7. Make whatever changes are required in “Setup”. If permanent serial console access is
desired, go to the BIOS features screen and select the desired mode, COM port and baud
rate. Refer to the next section for details on selecting these items.
8. Exit CMOS setup, saving the changes as desired.
5.4 Serial Console Setup
In the “BIOS Features” of the CMOS setup are several options relating to usage of the
serial console feature. Each of these options will be discussed in the paragraphs to follow.
5.4.1Console Type
This selection allows selection of the console type. The available choices are :
KB/Video (Default) Standard video display and keyboard input.
Serial Video output is routed to the serial port, keyboard input comes from serial port.
Dual Video output is routed both to the serial port and to the display adapter.
Keyboard input can come from either the serial port or a connected keyboard.
5.4.2Console Serial Port
This selection allows for the choice of serial port to be used for console I/O. Is
“KB/Video” is chosen for the “Console Type” this selection has no meaning.
The available selections are :
COM1 The COM1 port is used 93F8, IRQ4
COM2 The COM2 port is used 92F8, IRQ3
5.4.3Console Baud Rate
This option allows for selection of the baud rate to be used in connecting with WINCOM
115200Bps
Factory testing shows that the best tradeoff between speed and reliability with most PC
clients is 38400.
5.5 Copy Files using the Serial Console
Besides being useful for accessing the CMOS setup menu, the serial console can be used
effectively with non-graphic based DOS applications. Standard file operations including
Fdisk, format, copy, etc. can all be accessed through the serial console.
The serial console can also be used in conjunction with the “SCOPY.EXE” utility to
provide the ability to serially upload or download applications and/or data from the
LPM/MCM-DX5 to the client PC and vice versa.
To use SCOPY it must already be present on a disk currently accessible to the
LPM/MCM-DX5. SCOPY is invoked at the DOS command line on the LPM/MCM-DX5
with the command :
scopy [ com1 | com2 ] [-rq | -sq] file name
The first argument must be the COM port in use. This should match the COM port used
by the LPM/MCM-DX5 for serial console operations, i.e. COM1 or COM2
The next argument is the direction flag '-rq' indicates a desire to have the LPM/MCM-
DX5 receive a file, a direction flag of '-sq' indicates that the LPM/MCM-DX5 will send a file.
The last argument is the name of the file to be sent or the name with which to save the
file to be received.
A couple of examples illustrate the usage. In this first case, we wish to send our revised
application, called “APP.EXE”, to the LPM/MCM-DX5. We are currently connected to the
serial console using COM2 on the LPM/MCM-DX5. To initiate the reception we type :
scopy com2 -rq app.exe
The reverse of this would be to retrieve a data file “APP.DAT” from the LPM/MCM-
DX5 for analysis. To start the upload we would type :
scopy com2 -sq app.dat
Page 5-4OPERATIONS MANUAL LPM/MCM-DX5030116
WinSystems - "The Embedded Systems Authority"
Once SCOPY has been started on the LPM/MCM-DX5 we now need to tell Wincom to
send or receive a file. If we specified '-r' to SCOPY, we wanted the LPM/MCM-DX5 to
receive and Wincom to send. This is called an “upload”. To start the upload we press
<ALT><PgUp> on the client keyboard and Wincom presents us with a prompt :
File to up load :
We type in the name of the file we're sending. The file must be in the current directory
on the client PC or else a path must be specified. In our previous upload example we typed :
app.exe
Wincom responds with the message :
Send ing app.exe
And then begins a synchronization process with the LPM/MCM-DX5. Once they're
synchronized wincom presents a tally of records sent so far such as :
Send ing Re cord Num ber 000040
When the file transfer is complete. Wincom reports:
win com : File Trans fer Com plete
Scopy then reports on the result:
scopy : File trans fer com plete
As long as both parties agree, the file will arrive at the destination correctly. If there is a
problem, either Wincom or SCOPY will report that an error has occurred.
Downloading a file from the LPM/MCM-DX5 to the client PC is done in an identical
matter except that '-sq' is used with SCOPY and <ALT><PgDn> is used with WINCOM.
