4.1.8 Watchdog Timer for Booting
The BIOS of Nuvo-4000 has a useful feature which allows users to use the watchdog timer
to secure the booting process. You can specify the timeout value for watchdog timer. Once
the watchdog timer expires, the BIOS issues a reset command to initiate another booting
process. You can also set the behavior of how to stop the watchdog timer. There are two
options in BIOS menu, “Automatically after POST” and “Manually after Entering OS”. When
“Automatically after POST” is selected, the BIOS automatically stop the watchdog timer
after POST (Power-On Self Test) OK. When “Manually after Entering OS” is selected, it’s
user’s liability to stop the watchdog timer when entering OS. This guarantees the system
can always boot to OS, otherwise another booting process will be initiated. For information
about programming watchdog timer, please refer to Appendix “A” Using Watchdog Timer &
Isolated DIO.
To set the watchdog timer for boot in BIOS:
1. When Nuvo-4000 boots up, press F2 to enter BIOS setup utility.
2. Go to [Boot].
3. Disable or select timeout value for [WDT for Booting] option.
4. Once you specify a timeout value, the [WDT Stop Option] option appears. You can
select “Automatically after POST” or “Manually after Entering OS”.

Appendix A Using Watchdog Timer & Isolated DIO
Neousys Nuvo-4000 series provide a watchdog (WDT) timer function to ensure a more
reliable system operation. The WDT is a hardware mechanism to reset the system if the
watchdog timer is expired. Users can start the WDT and keeping resetting the timer to
make sure the system or program is running. Otherwise, the system shall be reset.
In addition to hardware watchdog function, an option of isolated digital I/O is available for
extended range of applications. Nuvo-4000 feature the option of 8x DI channels and 8x DO
channels via an internal 2x13 Pin Header. Neousys also provides a cable/panel kit with
DSub-25 connector for front-panel access. The optional digital I/O supports standard
polling mode I/O access so users’ program can read or write DIO channel(s) using this
function library. It also features an enhanced mode called “Change-of-State Interrupt”. By
detecting any change on digital input channel(s), an interrupt is generated according to a
user-defined interrupt mask and level/edge setting, so user’s program can react to the
change.
In this document, we’ll illustrate how to use the function library provided by Neousys to
program the WDT and DIO functions. Currently, WDT & DIO driver library supports the
following operating systems:



Windows XP
Windows Vista (32-bit)
Windows 7 (32-bit & 64-bit)
For other OS support, please contact Neousys Technology for further information.

A.3 Using DIO Function
Wiring for DIO
The digital input function of Nuvo-4000 is implemented using a photo-coupler with a
internally series-connected 4.7k ohm resistor. You need to provide a voltage to specify the
logic high/low state. The input voltage for logic high is 5~24V, and the input voltage for logic
low is 0~1.5V
The digital output function of Nuvo-4000 is implemented using Power MOSFET + Analog
Device iCoupler® component. The DO channels are configured as NO (normally-open)
configuration. When you turn on Nuvo-4000, all DO channels have a deterministic state of
logic 0 (circuit disconnected from GND return). When logic 1 is specified, MOSFET is
activated and GND return path is established. You should configure a sinking current
connection for DO of Nuvo-4000. The following diagrams are the suggested wiring for DO:
