The AMD Geode™ CS5536 companion device is designed to work with an integrated processor North Bridge component such as the AMD Geode™ LX processor. Together, the

Geode LX processor and Geode CS5536 companion device provide a system-level solution well suited for the high-performance and low-power needs of a host of embedded devices including digital set-top boxes, mobile computing devices, thin client applications, and single board computers.

The internal architecture uses a single, high-performance modular structure based on

GeodeLink™ architecture. This architecture yields high internal speed (over 4 GB/s) data movement and extremely versatile internal power management. The GeodeLink architecture is transparent to application software. Communication with the Geode Geode

LX processor is over a 33/66 MHz PCI bus.

User’s Manual 17

AIMB-220

The Geode CS5536 companion device incorporates many I/O functions, including some found in typical superI/O chips, simplifying many system designs. Since the graphics subsystem is entirely contained in the Geode GX3 processor, system interconnect is simplified. The device contains state-of-the-art power management that enables systems, especially battery powered systems, to significantly reduce power consumption.

Audio is supported by an internal controller, designed to connect to multiple AC97 compatible codecs. An IR (infrared) port supports all popular IR communication protocols.

The IR port is shared with one of two industry-standard serial ports that can reach speeds of 115.2 kbps. An LPC (low pin count) port is provided to facilitate connections to a superI/O should additional expansion, such as a floppy drive, be necessary, and/or to an

LPC ROM for the system BIOS.

The hard disk controller is compatible to the ATA-6 specification. The bus mastering IDE controller includes support for two ATA-compliant devices on one channel. The CS5536 companion device provides four Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 compliant ports, supporting low speed, full speed, and high speed connections. All four ports are individually automatically associated with either the Open Host Controller Interface (OHCI) or the

Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) depending on the attached device type. A battery-backed real-time clock (RTC) keeps track of time and provides calendar functions.

A suite of 82xx devices provides the legacy PC functionality required by most designs, including two PICs (programmable interrupt controllers), one PIT (programmable interval timer) with three channels, and DMA (direct memory access) functions. The CS5536 companion device contains eight MFGPTs (multi-function general purpose timers) that can be used for a variety of functions. A number of GPIOs (general purpose input/outputs) are provided, and are assigned to system functions on power-up (i.e., LPC port).

State-of-the-art power management features are attained with the division of the device into two internal power domains. The GPIOs and multi-function timers are distributed into each domain allowing them to act as wakeup sources for the device. The device provides full

ACPI (Advanced Configuration Power Interface) compliance and supports industry-standard Wakeup and Sleep modes.

For implementation details and suggestions for this device, see the supporting documentation (i.e., application notes, schematics, etc.) on the AMD Alchemy™ and

Geode™ Developer Support web site.

1.6.3 Realtek ALC203 Audio Codec

The ALC203 is a 20-bit DAC and 18-bit ADC full-duplex AC'97 2.3 compatible stereo audio

CODEC designed for PC multimedia systems, including host/soft audio, and AMR/CNR based designs.

The ALC203 incorporates proprietary converter technology to achieve a high SNR (greater than 100 dB), sensing logics for device reporting, and a Universal Audio Jack® for improved user convenience. The ALC203 AC'97 CODEC supports multiple CODEC extensions with independent variable sampling rates and built-in 3D effects. The ALC203

CODEC provides two pairs of stereo outputs with independent volume controls, a mono output, multiple stereo and mono inputs, along with flexible mixing, gain, and mute functions to provide a complete integrated audio solution for PCs.

The circuitry of the ALC203 CODEC operates from a 3.3V digital and 3.3V/5V analog power supply with EAPD (External Amplifier Power Down) control for use in notebook and

PC applications. The ALC203 integrates a 50mW/20Ohm headset audio amplifier into the

CODEC, saving BOM costs. The ALC203 also supports the S/PDIF out function (complies with AC'97 2.3) that offers easy connection of PCs to consumer electronic products, such as AC3 decoders/speakers and mini disk devices.

The ALC203 CODEC supports host/soft audio from Intel ICHx chipsets as well as audio controller based VIA/SIS/ALI/AMD/nVIDIA/ATI chipsets. Bundled Windows series drivers

(Win98/ME/NT/2000/XP, EAX/Direct Sound 3D/I3DL2/A3D compatible sound effect utilities

(supporting Karaoke, 26-kinds of environment sound emulation, 10-band equalizer), HRTF

3D positional audio and Sensaura™ 3D (optional) provide an excellent entertainment package and game experience for PC users. An internal 14.318MHz -> 24.576MHz PLL circuit generates required timing signals, eliminating the need for external crystal, whilst a built-in PCBEEP generator removes the need for an external buzzer.

2.3 Jumper and Connector List

You can configure your board to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch.

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, labeled 1,

2, and 3. In this case, you would connect either two pins.

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

A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers.

Connectors on the board are linked to external devices such as hard disk drives, a keyboard, or floppy drives. In addition, the board has a number of jumpers that allow you to configure your system to suit your application.

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.

The following tables list the function of each of the board's jumpers and connectors.

This differential signal pair sends and receives serial data to the communication link. The mode of this differential signal pair is controlled through the RTS register of Serial Port 2. Set the RTS register of the Serial Port 2 to LOW for transmitting, HIGH for receiving.

Do not select a mode different from the one used by the connected peripheral, as this may damage CPU board and/or peripheral.

The transmitter drivers in the port are short circuit protected by a thermal protection circuit. The circuit disables the drivers when the die temperature reaches 150 °C.

RS-422 mode is typically used in point to point communication. Data and control signal pairs should be terminated in the receiver end with a resistor matching the cable impedance (typical 100-120 Ω). The resistors could be placed in the connector housing.

RS-485 mode is typically used in multi drop applications, where more than 2 units are communicating. The data and control signal pairs should be terminated in each end of the communication line with a resistor matching the cable impedance (typical 100-120 Ω). Stubs to substations should be avoided.

AIMB-220

3.1 Starting Setup

The AwardBIOS™ is immediately activated when you first power on the computer. The

BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an operating system on one of the disks and then launch and turn control over to the operating system.

While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways:

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

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

3.4 In Case of Problems

If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer no longer is able to boot, the AwardBIOS™ supports an override to the CMOS settings which resets your system to its defaults.

The best advice is to only alter settings which you thoroughly understand. To this end, we strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully chosen by both Award and your systems manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the chipset setup has the potential for causing you to use the override.

3.5.3 Advanced Chipset Features

This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and access to system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external cache. It also coordinates communications between the conventional ISA bus and the PCI bus. It must be stated that these items should never need to be altered. The default settings have been chosen because they provide the best operating conditions for your system. The only time you might consider making any changes would be if you discovered that data was being lost while using your system.

The first 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.

This item allows to select CPU/Memory/PCI frequency.

The choices: Auto, 200/333/400/433/500

This item allows to enable On-chip IDE channel.

The IDE PIO (Programmed Input/Output) fields let you set a PIO mode (0-4) for each of the four

IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports. Modes 0 through 4 provide successively increased performance. In Auto mode, the system automatically determines the best mode for each device.

Ultra DMA implementation is possible only if your IDE hard drive supports it and the operating environment includes a DMA driver

(Windows 95 OSR2 or a third-party IDE bus master driver). If the hard drive and the system software both support Ultra DMA, select Auto to enable BIOS support.

This feature allows you to enable or disable

DMA (Direct Memory Access) support for all

IDE devices. If you disable this BIOS feature, the BIOS will disable DMA transfers for all IDE drives. They will revert to PIO mode transfers. If you enable this BIOS feature, the BIOS will enable DMA transfers for all IDE drives. The proper DMA mode will be detected at boot-up.

If the drive does not support DMA transfers, then it will use PIO mode instead.

Block mode is also called block transfer, multiple commands, or multiple sector read/write. If the IDE hard drive supports block mode (most new drives do), select Enabled for automatic detection of the optimal number of block read/writes per sector the drive can support.

During the Power On Self-Test (POST), if the BIOS detects an error requiring you to do something to fix, it will either sound a beep code or display a message.

If a message is displayed, it will be accompanied by:

PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE OR PRESS DEL TO ENTER SETUP

Post Beep

Currently there are two kinds of beep codes in BIOS. This code indicates that a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional information. This beep code consists of a single long beep followed by two short beeps.

The other code indicates that your DRAM error has occurred. This beep code consists of a single long beep repeatedly.

Error Messages

The following messages are examples of messages including errors detected by the BIOS during POST and a description of what they mean and/or what you may do to correct the error.

1. CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED

CMOS battery is no longer functional. It should be replaced.

2. CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR

Checksum of CMOS is incorrect. This can indicate that CMOS has become corrupt. This error may have been caused by a weak battery. Check the battery and replace if necessary.

3. DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER

No boot device was found. This could mean that either a boot drive was not detected or the drive does not contain proper system boot files. Insert a system disk into Drive A: and press <Enter>. If you assumed the system would boot from the hard drive, make sure the controller is inserted correctly and all cables are properly attached. Also be sure the disk is formatted as a boot device. Then reboot the system.

4. DISKETTE DRIVES OR TYPES MISMATCH ERROR - RUN SETUP

Type of diskette drive installed in the system is different from the CMOS definition. Run

Setup to reconfigure the drive type correctly.

User’s Manual 87

AIMB-220

5. DISPLAY SWITCH IS SET INCORRECTLY

Display switch on the motherboard can be set to either monochrome or color. This indicates the switch is set to a different setting than indicated in Setup. Determine which setting is correct, and then either turn off the system and change the jumper, or enter Setup and change the VIDEO selection.

6. DISPLAY TYPE HAS CHANGED SINCE LAST BOOT

Since last powering off the system, the display adapter has been changed. You must configure the system for the new display type.

PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY

The EISA non-volatile RAM checksum is incorrect or cannot correctly read the EISA slot.

This can indicate either the EISA non-volatile memory has become corrupt or the slot has been configured incorrectly. Also be sure the card is installed firmly in the slot.

8. EISA Configuration Is Not Complete


The slot configuration information stored in the EISA non-volatile memory is incomplete.

Note: When either of these errors appears, the system will boot in ISA mode, which allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility.

9. ERROR ENCOUNTERED INITIALIZING HARD DRIVE

Hard drive cannot be initialized. Be sure the adapter is installed correctly and all cables are correctly and firmly attached. Also be sure the correct hard drive type is selected in Setup.

10. ERROR INITIALIZING HARD DISK CONTROLLER

Cannot initialize controller. Make sure the cord is correctly and firmly installed in the bus.

Be sure the correct hard drive type is selected in Setup. Also check to see if any jumper needs to be set correctly on the hard drive.

11. FLOPPY DISK CNTRLR ERROR OR NO CNTRLR PRESENT

Cannot find or initialize the floppy drive controller. Make sure the controller is installed correctly and firmly. If there are no floppy drives installed, be sure the Diskette Drive selection in Setup is set to NONE.


User’s Manual

12. Invalid EISA Configuration


The non-volatile memory containing EISA configuration information was programmed incorrectly or has become corrupt. Re-run EISA configuration utility to correctly program the memory.


13. KEYBOARD ERROR OR NO KEYBOARD PRESENT

Cannot initialize the keyboard. Make sure the keyboard is attached correctly and no keys are being pressed during the boot.

If you are purposely configuring the system without a keyboard, set the error halt condition in Setup to HALT ON ALL, BUT KEYBOARD. This will cause the BIOS to ignore the missing keyboard and continue the boot.

14. Memory Address Error at ...

Indicates a memory address error at a specific location. You can use this location along with the memory map for your system to find and replace the bad memory chips.

15. Memory parity Error at ...

Indicates a memory parity error at a specific location. You can use this location along with the memory map for your system to find and replace the bad memory chips.

16. MEMORY SIZE HAS CHANGED SINCE LAST BOOT

Memory has been added or removed since the last boot. In EISA mode use Configuration

Utility to reconfigure the memory configuration. In ISA mode enter Setup and enter the new memory size in the memory fields.

17. Memory Verify Error at ...

Indicates an error verifying a value already written to memory. Use the location along with your system's memory map to locate the bad chip.

18. OFFENDING ADDRESS NOT FOUND

This message is used in conjunction with the I/O CHANNEL CHECK and RAM PARITY

ERROR messages when the segment that has caused the problem cannot be isolated.

19. OFFENDING SEGMENT:

This message is used in conjunction with the I/O CHANNEL CHECK and RAM PARITY

ERROR messages when the segment that has caused the problem has been isolated.

20. PRESS A KEY TO REBOOT

This will be displayed at the bottom screen when an error occurs that requires you to reboot.

Press any key and the system will reboot.

21. PRESS F1 TO DISABLE NMI, F2 TO REBOOT

When BIOS detects a Non-maskable Interrupt condition during boot, this will allow you to disable the NMI and continue to boot, or you can reboot the system with the NMI enabled.

22. RAM PARITY ERROR - CHECKING FOR SEGMENT ...

Indicates a parity error in Random Access Memory.

23. Should Be Empty But EISA Board Found


A valid board ID was found in a slot that was configured as having no board ID.


24. Should Have EISA Board But Not Found


The board installed is not responding to the ID request, or no board ID has been found in the indicated slot.


25. Slot Not Empty

Indicates that a slot designated as empty by the EISA Configuration Utility actually contains a board.


26. SYSTEM HALTED, (CTRL-ALT-DEL) TO REBOOT ...

Indicates the present boot attempt has been aborted and the system must be rebooted.

Press and hold down the CTRL and ALT keys and press DEL.


User’s Manual

27. Wrong Board In Slot


The board ID does not match the ID stored in the EISA non-volatile memory.


28. FLOPPY DISK(S) fail (80)

→ Unable to reset floppy subsystem.

29. FLOPPY DISK(S) fail (40)

→ Floppy Type dismatch.

30. Hard Disk(s) fail (80)

→ HDD reset failed.


→ HDD controller diagnostics failed.


→ HDD initialization error.


→ Unable to recalibrate fixed disk.


→ Sector Verify failed.

35. Keyboard is locked out - Unlock the key.

BIOS detect the keyboard is locked. P17 of keyboard controller is pulled low.

36. Keyboard error or no keyboard present.

Cannot initialize the keyboard. Make sure the keyboard is attached correctly and no keys are being pressed during the boot.

37. Manufacturing POST loop.

System will repeat POST procedure infinitely while the P15 of keyboard controller is pull low. This is also used for M/B burn in test.

38. BIOS ROM checksum error - System halted.

The checksum of ROM address F0000H-FFFFFH is bad.

39. Memory test fail.
