Chapter 4 AWARD BIOS Setup

This appendix discusses the Setup program built into the BIOS. The Setup program enables users to configure the system. This configuration is then stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that it retains the Setup information while the power is off.

4.1 Getting Started

The BIOS is immediately active when you turn on the computer. While the BIOS is in control, the CMOS Setup program can be activated in one of two ways:

1. By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or

2. By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during the POST (Power On Self-Test).

Press DEL to enter SETUP

If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the "RESET" button on the system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing

<Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to...

PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, DEL TO ENTER SETUP

In general, you can use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to select, use the Page Up and Page Down keys to change entries, press <F1> for help and press <Esc> to quit. The table on the next page provides more details about how to navigate in the Setup program using the keyboard.

Appendix A. Watchdog Timer

The Watchdog Timer is a device to ensure that standalone systems can always recover from abnormal conditions that cause the system to crash. These conditions may have resulted from an external EMI or a software bug. When the system stops working, hardware on the board will perform a hardware reset (cold boot) to bring the system back to a known state.

Three I/O ports control the operation of Watchdog Timer, which is described in the following table.

I/O PORT ACTION DESCRIPTION

443 (hex)

443 (hex)

Write

Read

043/843 (hex) Read

Set time-out period

Enable the refreshing of the Watchdog Timer.

Disable the Watchdog Timer.

Prior to enabling the Watchdog Timer, set the time-out period. The range of the timer is 1 to 255 sec, set in increments of 1 second. Send the time-out value to the I/O port 443H, and then enable it by reading data from the same I/O port.

This will activate the timer, which will eventually time out and check and monitor the CPU board. This must be done within the time-out period that is set by the software. For additional help, please refer to the example program. Finally, disable the Watchdog timer by reading the I/O port 843H or 043H, otherwise the system will reset unconditionally. Please refer to the sample assembly program on the next page for more details.

Note: A margin of error of at least 5% must be maintained to avoid unknown routines in the operating system (DOS), such as disk I/O, which can be very time-consuming. Therefore if the time-out period is set to 10 seconds, the I/O port 443H must be completely read within 7 seconds.

The WAFER-4826EV provides an outstanding E 2 KEY™ function for system integrators. Based on the E 2 KEY™, ID Code, Passwords or Critical Data can be stored in the 1Kbit EEPROM (memory module). The loss of these important data is prevented, as EEPROM is non-volatile.

The E 2 KEY™ is based on a 1Kbit EEPROM, which is configured to 64 words (from

0 to 63). The user can access (read or write) each word at any time.

When you start to use WAFER-4826, the E 2 KEY™ utility is already in the package.

The software utility will contain the following four files:

README.DOC

E2KEY.OBJ

EKEYDEMO.C

EKEYDEMO.EXE.

The E2KEY.OBJ provides two library functions (read_e2key and write_e2key) for users to integrate their applications with E 2 KEY™. These compiled library functions are written in the C programming language. Please check the following statements to for using and implementing the library functions: unsigned int read_e2key(unsigned int address)

/* This function will return the data of E 2 KEY™ at the specified address. The address ranges from 0 to 63. Return data is one word, 16 bits in length. */ void write_e2key(unsigned int address, unsigned int data)

/* This function will write the given data to the E 2 KEY™ at a certain address. The address ranges from 0 to 63. The data value is from 0 to 0xffff. */

To use these functions, please refer to the included EKEYDEMO.C sample program for further information.
