Introduction

The following sections show the internal jumper settings and the external connectors and pins assignment for applications.

2.2

Jumpers

2.2.1

Jumper Description

You may configure the MIC-7900 to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an electric circuit. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To close a jumper, you connect the pins with the clip. To open a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labelled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you would connect either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3.

open closed closed 2-3

The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows.

1 2 1 2 open closed closed 2-3

A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers. If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact your local distributor or sales representative before you make any changes. Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most connections.

Clear CMOS

MIC-7900 single board computer contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should be set with pins 1-2 closed. If you want to reset the CMOS data, set CMOS1 to 2-3 closed for just a few seconds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2 closed. This procedure will reset the

CMOS to its default setting.

Programming the

Watchdog Timer

A.1

Programming the Watchdog Timer

The MIC-7900's watchdog timer can be used to monitor system software operation and take corrective action if the software fails to function within the programmed period. This section describes the operation of the watchdog timer and how to program it.

A.1.1

Watchdog Timer Overview

The watchdog timer is built into the super I/O controller NCT6106D. It provides the following user-programmable functions:

 It can be enabled and disabled by user program

 Timer can be set from 1 to 255 seconds or 1 to 255 minutes

 Generates an interrupt or resets signal if the software fails to reset the timer before time-out

A.1.2

Programming the Watchdog Timer

The I/O port address of the watchdog timer is 2E (hex) and 2F (hex). 2E (hex) is the address port. 2F (hex) is the data port. You must first assign the address of register by writing an address value into address port 2E (hex), then write/read data to/from the assigned register through data port 2F (hex).


Unlock NCT6106D

Select register of watchdog timer

Enable the function of the watchdog timer

Use the function of the watchdog timer

Lock NCT6106D


Table A.1: Watchdog Timer Registers

Write this address to I/O address port 2E (hex) twice to unlock the NCT6106D.

Write 08 (hex) to select register of watchdog timer.

Write 01 (hex) to enable the function of the watchdog timer. Disabled is set as default.

Set seconds or minutes as units for the timer.

Write 0 to bit 3: set second as counting unit.

[default]

Write 1 to bit 3: set minutes as counting unit.

0: stop timer [default]

01~FF (hex): The amount of the count, in seconds or minutes, depends on the value set in register F5

(hex). This number decides how long the watchdog timer waits for strobe before generating an interrupt or reset signal. Writing a new value to this register can reset the timer to count with the new value.

Bit 7:Write 1 to enable mouse to reset the timer, 0 to disable[default]. Bit 6: Write 1 to enable keyboard to reset the timer, 0 to disable.[default]

Bit 5: Write 1 to generate a timeout signal immediately and automatically return to 0. [default=0]

Bit 4: Read status of watchdog timer, 1 means timer is “timeout”.

Write this address to I/O port 2E (hex) to lock the watchdog timer 2.
