Move the JP7 back to 1-2 position (Normal Operation) and start the system.

Users then load BIOS default setting.

3.5

WDT Function

The working algorithm of the WDT function can be simply described as a counting process. The Time-Out Interval can be set through software programming. The availability of the time-out interval settings by software or hardware varies from boards to boards.

3301390 allows users control WDT through dynamic software programming. The WDT starts counting when it is activated. It sends out a signal to system reset, when time-out interval ends. To prevent the time-out interval from running out, a re-trigger signal will need to be sent before the counting reaches its end. This action will restart the counting process. A well-written WDT program should keep the counting process running under normal condition. WDT should never generate a system reset unless the system runs into troubles.

The related Control Registers of WDT are all included in the following sample program that is written in C language. User can fill a non-ero value into the Timeout Value Register to enable/refresh WDT. System will be reset after the Time-out

Value to be counted down to ero. Or user can directly fill a ero value into Time-out

Value Register to disable WDT immediately. To ensure a successful accessing to the content of desired Control Register, the sequence of following program codes should be step-by-step run again when each register is accessed.

Additionally, there are maximum 2 seconds of counting tolerance that should be considered into user’ application program. For more information about WDT, please refer to Winbond W83627THF data sheet.


System Installation

There are two PNP I/O port addresses that can be used to configure WDT,

1) 0x2E:EFIR (Extended Function Index Register, for identifying CR index number)

2) 0x2F:EFDR (Extended Function Data Register, for accessing desired CR)

Below are some example codes, which demonstrate the use of WDT.

// Enter Extended Function Mode outp(0x002E, 0x87); outp(0x002E, 0x87);

// Assign Pin 89 to be a WDTO outp(0x002E, 0x2B); outp(0x002F, inp(0x002F) & 0xEF);

// Select Logic Device 8 outp(0x002E, 0x07); outp(0x002F, 0x08);

// Active Logic Device 8 outp(0x002E, 0x30); outp(0x002F, 0x01);

// Select Count Mode outp(0x002E, 0xF5); outp(0x002F, (inp(0x002F) & 0xF7) | ( Count-mode Register & 0x08));

// Specify Time-out Value outp(0x002E, 0xF6); outp(0x002F, Time-out Value Register );

// Disable WDT reset by keyboard/mouse interrupts outp(0x002E, 0xF7); outp(0x002F, 0x00);

// Exit Extended Function Mode outp(0x002E, 0xAA);

Definitions of Variables:

Value of Count-mode Register :

1) 0x00 -- Count down in seconds (Bit3=0)

2) 0x08 -- Count down in minutes (Bit3=1)

Value of Time-out Value Register :

1) 0x00 -- Time-out Disable

2) 0x01~0xFF -- Value for counting down

3301390 GPIO Programming Guide

There are 8 GPIO pins on 3301390 Series. These GPIO pins are from SUPER I/O

(W83627THF) GPIO pins, and can be programmed as Input or Output direction. J20 pin header is for 8 GPIO pins and its pin assignment as following :

J20_Pin1=GPIO0:from SUPER I/O_GPIO10 with Ext. 4.7K PH








<<<<< Be careful Pin9=GND , Pin10=VCC >>>>>


System Installation

There are several Configuration Registers (CR) of W83627THF needed to be programmed to control the GPIO direction, and status(GPI)/value(GPO). CR02h ~

CR2F are common (global) registers to all Logical Devices (LD) in W83627THF.

CR07h contains the Logical Device Number that can be changed to access the LD as needed. LD7 contains the GPIO10~17 registers.

Programming Guide:

Step1: CR29_Bit [7.6]. P [0,1]; to select multiplexed pins as GPIO10~17 pins

Step2: CR07h.P [07h]; Point to LD7

Step3: LD7_CR30h_Bit0.P1; Enable LD7

Step4: Select GPIO direction, Get Status or output value.

LD7_CRF0h; GPIO17 ~ 10 direction, 1 = input, 0 = output pin

LD7_CRF2h.P[00h]; Let CRF1 (GPIO data port) non-invert to prevent from confusion

LD7_CRF1h; GPIO17~10 data port, for input pin, get status from the related bit, for output pin, write value to the related bit.

For example,

LD7_CRF0h_Bit4.P0; Let GPIO14 as output pin

LD7_CRF2h_Bit4.P0; Let CRF1_Bit4 non-inverted

LD7_CRF1h_Bit4.P0; Output “0” to GPIO14 pin (J20_Pin2)

LD7_CRF0h_Bit0.P1; Let GPIO10 as input pin

LD7_CRF2h_Bit0.P0; Let CRF1_Bit0 non-inverted

Read LD7_CRF1h_Bit0; Read the status from GPIO10 pin (J20_Pin1)

How to access W83627THF CR?

In 3301390 Series, the EFER = 002Eh, and EFDR = 002Fh. EFER and EFDR are 2 IO ports needed to access W83627THF CR. EFER is the Index Port, EFDR is the Data Port.

CR index number needs to be written into EFER first,

Then the data will be read/written from/to EFDR.

To R/W W83627THF CR, it is needed to Enter/Enable Configuration Mode first.

When completing the programming, it is suggested to Exit/Disable Configuration

Mode.

Enter Configuration Mode: Write 87h to IO port EFER twice.

Exit Configuration Mode: Write AAh to IO port EFER.

This chipset settings deal with CPU access to dynamic random access memory

(DRAM). The default timings have been carefully chosen and should only be altered if data is being lost. Such a scenario might well occur if your system had mixed speed DRAM chips installed so that greater delays may be required to preserve the integrity of the data held in the slower memory chips.

DRAM Timing Selectable

This option provides DIMM plug-and-play support by serial presence detect (SPD) mechanism via the system management bus (SMBUS) interface.

The choice: Manual, By SPD.

CAS Latency Time

This option controls the number of SCLKs between the time a read command is sampled by the DRAMs and the time the GMCH samples correspondent data from the DRAMs.

The choice: 3, 4, 5 and Auto.

DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay

This option controls the number of SCLKs (SDRAM Clock) from a row activate command to a read or write command. If your system installs good quality of

SDRAM, you can set this option to “3 SCLKs” to obtain better memory performance.

Normally, the option will be set to Auto.

The choice: 2, 3, 4, 5 and Auto.

DRAM RAS# Precharge

This option controls the number of SCLKs for RAS# precharge. If your system installs good quality of SDRAM, you can set this option to “3 SCLKs” to obtain better memory performance. It is set to auto normally.

The choice: 2, 3, 4, 5 and Auto.

Precharge delay (tRAS)

The choice: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15, Auto.

System Memory Frequency

Users are recommended to use Auto for memory frequency selection.

The choice: 333MH, 400MH, 533MH and Auto.



SLP_S4# Assertion Width

The choice: 4 to 5 Sec., 3to 4 Sec, 2 to 3 Sec., 1 to 2 Sec.

System BIOS Cacheable

Selecting Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.


Video BIOS Cacheable

Select “Enabled” to enable caching VGA BIOS into L2 cache to get higher display performance. “Disabled” to ignore this BIOS caching function.

Troubleshooting

Chapter 5

Troubleshooting

This chapter provides a few useful tips to quickly get 3301390 running with success. As basic hardware installation has been addressed in Chapter 2, this chapter will primarily focus on system integration issues, in terms of BIOS setting, and OS diagnostics.

5.1

Hardware Quick Installation

Backplane

3301390 series is a full-sized Signal Board Computer, and therefore is only able to run on PICMG PCI/ISA backplane. To know whether your backplane is PICMG

PCI/ISA backplane, please contact with vendor or manufacturer.

P4 Power connector

3301390 series requires power drawing from at least one or two power connectors (J28 and J16), depending on power mode (AT or ATX). The CPU supplementary Power Connector (J28) has to be connected to a system all the time no matter using AT or ATX mode. Otherwise, the system won’t boot up properly. In addition, the 4-pin connector (J16) is only required at ATX mode due to the fact that

4-pin connector provides 5V Stand-by from the backplane to the SBC. If J16 isn’t connected, it could also because system failed to boot up.


Figure 5-1

5-1

Troubleshooting

ATX Power Setting

This section would be more likely to introduce you how to set up ATX mode on your

3301390 series. Please refer to the following instruction.

Step 1: Connect 20-pin power cable of the ATX POWER with ATX POWER

CONNECTOR (20-pin) on the backplane. (Figure 5-2)

Figure 5-2

Step 2: Use 4-pin power cable to connect both ATX P/S Control Connector on backplane and ATX Power Control (J16) on Signal Board Computer. (Figure

5-3)

Figure 5-3


Troubleshooting

Step 3: Please adjust AT/ATX Jumper on JP6 to short 3-5, 4-6 pins, then it can support ATX power scheme. (Figure 5-4)

Figure 5-4

Step 4: Please connect 12V Power to CPU supplementary Power Connector (J28), which shows on Figure 5-1.

Step 5: Connect TOGGLE SWITCH with J7 connector on 3301390 series (Figure 5-

5), which is used to power on ATX Power Supply. Generally, the TOGGLE

SWITCH is located on the chassis of front panel.


Figure 5-5

5-3

Troubleshooting

AT Power Setting

This section will introduce you how to quickly and appropriately set up AT power on your system.

Step 1: Please adjust AT/ATX Jumper on JP6 to short 1-3, 2-4 pins, then it can support AT power scheme. (Figure 5-6)

Figure 5-6

Note:

If current Power setting is at ATX mode, please clean CMOS first before adjusting

Power setting to AT mode. Otherwise, system would not boot up properly.

Step 2: Remove 4 pins power cable, and then put a jumper back on pin 3 (PS-ON) and pin 4 (GND) of backplane ATX P/S control connector. (Figure 5-7)


Figure 5-7

5-4

Troubleshooting

Step 3: Please connect 12V Power to CPU supplementary Power Connector (J28), which shows on Figure 5-1.

Stand-alone Setting

The purpose of system stand-alone function is to identify the root cause by isolating the board from other possible system devices such as PCI device, backplane, and so on. Please refer the following steps to make system at stand-alone status.

Step 1: Please connect 4 pins power to J26 in order to make system stand-alone and

12V Power to CPU supplementary Power Connector (J28) (See Figure 5-8)

Figure 5-8

Step 2: If you are using ATX power, please short PS-ON and Ground on ATX power connector (As Figure 5-9), and turn on AC power switch of ATX power supply to let system boot up. If you are using AT power supply, you can simply turn on the power on AT power supply to boot up the system.


Figure 5-9

5-5

Troubleshooting

Note:

In fact, different power supply has different definition of pin assignments. Therefore, please check Pin assignment on Power Supply or ask your vendor.

Unboot problem

Symptom: After changing power mode from ATX to AT, my system is just not working.

Solution: Due to ICH6 design, when you change your power mode from ATX to AT or from AT to ATX, you have to clean your CMOS in order to make your system boot up properly. To clean CMOS, please short 1-2 pins on JP7 for a moment, and then change it back to its default setting. (Figure 5-10)

Figure 5-10

Symptom: keeps beeping, and no screen has shown.

Solution: In fact, each beep sound represents different definition of error message.

Please refer to table as following:

Beep sounds Meaning

One long beep with one DRAM error short beeps

One long beep constantly DRAM error

Action

Change DRAM or reinstall it

Change DRAM or reinstall it

One long beep with two Monitor or Display Please check Monitor connector short beeps

Beep rapidly

Card error whether it inserts properly

Power error warning Please check Power mode setting


Troubleshooting

Symptom: There is neither no beeps nor screen output.

Solution: Indeed, you shall make the SBC stand-alone to identify the root cause by isolating the board from other possible system devices such as PCI device, backplane, and so on. If the system still cannot boot up, please fill out

RMA from which is provided on Global American website, and then send back to Global American as a RMA? Besides, you also visit

RMA site (http://www.GlobalAmericaninc.com) to check RMA report if necessary.

Frequency Asking Questions

Q: How to use Standard PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse?

A: Users can adopt bracket over the J36 jumper interface which supports PS/2 keyboard and mouse function on 3301390 series. (Figure 5-11)

Figure 5-11

Q: What is Serial ATA and how to use it exactly?

The Intel

®

82801FB ICH6 contains two integrated Serial ATA host controllers capable of DMA operation on four ports. Unlike IDE bus, each Serial ATA channel can only connect to one SATA hard disk at a time; there are total four connectors,

J21, J22, J41 and J42. The installation of Serial ATA is simpler and easier than IDE, because SATA hard disk doesn’t require setting up Master and Slave, which can reduce mistake of hardware installation. All you need to do is to plug in two cables and enable SATA in System BIOS. (The Serial ATA hard disk of installation, please see Figure 5-12 as below)


Troubleshooting

Figure 5-12

After done with the installation of SATA hardware, please enter system BIOS to enable Serial ATA function. Otherwise, Serial hardware won’t be recognized. To enable SATA function, please see as following:

System BIOS

Integrated Peripherals

On Chip IDE Device …….…………[Press enter]

On-Chip Serial ATA .…….. [Auto]

A: As matter of fact, you need to access system BIOS to enable SATA device. (Please refer to SATA hard disk device installation guide)

Q: I have one IDE hard disk and one SATA hard disk. How can I assign SATA hard disk as First boot device?

A: After entering system BIOS, access Advanced BIOS Feature. And then press enter

Hard disk boot Priority. You will see the mode of your SATA hard disk. Select it as first boot device. Every time, when your hard disk devices have been changed, system BIOS will ask you to re-setup Hard disk boot priority.

Q: After inserting Compact Flash, why doesn t it work at all?

A: Compact Flash is occupied with the (Master device of Primary IDE Channel If there is any device occupying this channel, please remove it or set it as a Slave device.


Troubleshooting

Q: I am using an ATA-66 (or 100) hard drive, how can I know that ATA-66 function is enabled?

A: You need to use the 80-pin ATA-66 IDE flat cable to have this function. During

The Post phase, you can see ATA-66 (or 100) message while hard drive is being detected. Besides, after installing Microsoft series OS successfully, you also need to install ATA-66/100 driver to active ATA-66/100 function.

Q: Could 3301390 series support RAID function?

A : No, 3301390 adopts Intel

BIOS Setting

It is assumed that users have correctly adopted modules and connected all the devices cables required before turning on AT or ATX power. CPU, CPU Fan, 200-pin

DDR2 SDRAM, keyboard, mouse, floppy drive, IDE hard disk, printer, VGA connector, device cables, ATX accessories are good examples that deserve attention.

With no assurance of properly and correctly accommodating these modules and devices, it is very possible to encounter system failures that result in malfunction of any device.

To make sure that you have a successful start with 3301390 series, it is recommended, when going with the boot-up sequence, to hit “DEL” key and enter the BIOS setup menu to tune up a stable BIOS configuration so that you can wake up your system far well.

Loading the default optimal setting

When prompted with the main setup menu, please scroll down to “ Load Optimal

Defaults ”, press “Enter” and “Y” to load in default optimal BIOS setup. This will force your BIOS setting back to the initial factory configuration. It is recommended to do this so you can be sure the system is running with the BIOS setting that

Global American has highly endorsed. As a matter of fact, users can load the default BIOS setting any time when system appears to be unstable in boot up sequence.

Auto Detect Hard Disks

In the BIOS => Standard CMOS setup menu, pick up any one from

Primary/Secondary Master/Slave IDE ports, and press “Enter”. Setup the selected

IDE port and its access mode to “Auto”. This will force system to automatically pick up the IDE devices that are being connected each time system boots up.


Troubleshooting

Improper disable operation

There are too many occasions where users disable a certain device/feature in one application through BIOS setting. These variables may not be set back to the original values when needed. These devices/features will certainly fail to be detected.

When the above conditions happen, it is strongly recommended to check the BIOS settings. Make sure certain items are set as they should be. These include the floppy drive, COM1/COM2 ports, Parallel port, USB ports, external cache, on-board VGA and Ethernet.

It is also very common that users would like to disable a certain device/port to release IRQ resource. A few good examples are

Disable COM1 serial port to release IRQ #4

Disable COM2 serial port to release IRQ #3

Disable Parallel port to release IRQ #7

Disable PS/2 mouse to release IRQ #12,

Etc…

A quick review of the basic IRQ mapping is given below for your reference.

IRQ#

IRQ #0 System Timer

Description

#4 COM1

IRQ #5 USB 1.0/1.1 UHCI and EHCI 2.0 Controller

IRQ #6 Floppy Disk Controller

IRQ #8 Real-time Clock

IRQ #9 Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System

IRQ #10 Network Controller /Multimedia Device

IRQ #11 SMbus /Primary IDE Controller

IRQ #12 Network /Display Controller

IRQ #13 Data Processor

IRQ #14 Primary IDE Controller

It is then very easy to find out which IRQ resource is ready for additional peripherals. If IRQ resource is not enough, please disable some devices listed above to release further IRQ numbers.
