Chapter 2 Getting Started
This section describes how the hardware installation and system settings should be done.
The following hardware is included in package:
NAR-5650 Communication Appliance System
One null serial port cable
To prevent damage to any system board, it is important to han dle it with care. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from static electricity discharge:
When handling the board, use a grounded wrist strap designed for static discharge elimina tion and touches a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag. Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
When handling processor chips or memory modules, avoid touching their pins or gold edge fingers. Restore the communications appliance system board and peripherals back into the antistatic bag when they are not in use or not installed in the chassis.
Some circuitry on the system board can continue operating even thou gh the power is switched off. Under no circumstances should the Lithium battery cell used to power the real-time clock be allowed to be shorted. The battery cell may heat up under these conditions and present a burn hazard.
WARNING!
1. "CAUTION: DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE
ONLY WITH SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
DISCARD USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS"
2. This guide is for technically qualified personnel who have experience installing and configuring system boards. Disconnect the system board power supply from its po wer source before you connect/disconnect cables or install/remove any system board components. Failure to do this can result in personnel injury or equipment damage.
3. Avoid short-circuiting the lithium battery; this can cause it to superheat and cause burns if touched.

Chapter 3 BIOS Setting
BIOS Setup Information
NAR-5650 is equipped with the Award BIOS within Flash ROM. The BIOS has a built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration easily. This type of information is stored in CMOS RAM so that it still retains during power-off periods. When system is turned on, NAR-5650 communicates with peripheral devices and checks its hardware resources against the configuration information stored in the CMOS memory. Whenever an error is detected, or the CMOS parameters need to be initially defined, the diagnostic program will prompt the user to enter the Setup program. Some errors are significant enough to abort the start-up.
When you see the message “Hit <DEL> if you want to run Setup”, after turning on or rebooting the computer, press <Del> key immediately to enter BIOS setup program.
If you want to enter Setup but fail to respond before the message disappears, please restart the system either by first turning it off and followed by turning it on (COLD START) or simply press the "RESET" button. “WARM START” (press <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys simultaneously) will do, too. Unless you press the keys at the right time, the system will not boot, an error message will display and you will be asked to do it again.
When no setting is stored in BIOS or the setting is missing, a message “Press <F1> to run Setup” will appear. Then press <F1> to run Setup or resume HIFLEX BIOS Setup.
You can use the keyboard to choose among options or modify the system parameters to match the options with your system. The table shown on next page will show you all of keystroke functions in BIOS Setup.

Chapter 4 EZIO Programming Guide
Proprietary keypad and LCD display interfaces are implemented in traditional computing system design, but they are usually different from system to system. The main purpose to roll this module out is to provide an easier human-machine interface for those computing systems regarding application friendly operation as a “must.”
The design goals of this interface are:
A single interface for those applications where both LCD display and keypad are required.
This interface should be available in every computing system.
The communication implementation should be OS independent.
Our solution is to use “Serial port” as the interface for both LCD display and keypad. A simple protocol is further defined so that applications can directly communicate with this module no matter what the Operating System is.
WARNING!
THE LCD DRIVER ICS ARE MADE OF CMOS PROCESS, DAMAGED BY STATIC CHARGE VERY
EASILY. MAKE SURE THE USER IS GROUNDED WHEN HANDLING THE LCD.
• Ideal user interface for communication appliance
• No driver required; OS independent
• Alphanumeric characters display support
• Four key pads can be customized for different applications
• Easy system installation and operation
• Clearly display system status
• Single interface to SBC or M/B
For further support, users may also contact Caswell’s headquarter in Taipei or your local distributors.

4.9 EZIO3 Function Command
First, all versions (00A, 01A, 02A) of EZIO can use those commands. Only the 02A version of EZIO firmware that adds “FE 28” & “FE 37” command can control start of HEX & End of HEX.
EZIO is an intelligent device, which will display those data received from RS-232 port and reply key pressing status to polling command from RS-232 port. Both commands and data go thru RS-232 ports. To distinguish between data and commands, the LCD/key-pad module recognizes a command prefix, 254 (Hex 0FE). The byte following “254” will be processed as a command. For example, to clear the screen, send the command prefix (254) followed by the LCD clear-screen code (1). The valid data range is shown as the following table:
Valid data range
0-7
48-57 (30-39 Hex)
65-90 (41-5A Hex)
Displayed characters
Customized icon 0-7
0-9
A-Z
97-122 (61-7A Hex) a-z
To get the key pressing status, a “read key” command can be issued to this module, which will check the key-pressing status and reply accordingly. The following are the commands and corresponding Decimal/Hex values:
1. Start Of HEX
Functions/commands
2. End Of HEX
5. Read key
6. Blank display (retaining data)
7. Hide cursor & display blanked characters
8. Turn on (blinking block cursor)
9. Show underline cursor
10. Move cursor 1 character left
11. Move cursor 1 character right
12. Scroll 1 character left
13. Scroll 1 character right
14. Set display address (position the cursor) location

Note 1: Upon receiving the “read key” command from host computer, the LCD/keypad module will check the status of every key and reply with status command accordingly. The replied message from LCD/key-pad module consists of a header and a status byte. The header byte is 253 (Hex0FD). The high nibble (with the most significant bit) of the status byte is always “4” and the low nibble (with the least significant bit) of the status byte is used to indicate key pressing status of the keypad module. This nibble will be “F” (of four
1s), if no key pressed while the “read key” received. “0” will be used to indicate key pressing status of corresponding key. There are four keys in this module – upper arrow, down arrow, enter (ENT), and escape (ESC). The relationship between the function key, corresponding status bit and status byte is shown as the table below
Function key Corresponding status bit Status byte
NAR- 5650 Series User’s Manual

Escape
Up arrow
Enter
The fourth bit of lower nibble (the least significant bit) (1110)
The third bit of lower nibble (1101)
The second bit of lower nibble (1011)
B7 (H)
BE (H)
BB (H)
Down arrow The first bit of lower nibble (0111) BD (H)
More than one key can be pressed at the same time so that there may be more than one “0”s in the low nibble of status byte. For example, if Up and Down arrow keys are pressed at the same time while “read key” command received, the replied status will be “Hex045”.
Note 2: This command can be used to place the cursor at any location. The corresponding address for each character on the screen is as follows:
For 16×2 Display Address
The addresses of characters at the same row are continuous, so moving cursor commands can be applied to shift the cursor position back and forth. However, the addresses of characters between upper and lower row are discontinuous. To change cursor position between upper row and lower row, this command will be applied.

The addresses of characters at the same row are continuous, so moving cursor commands can be applied to shift the cursor position back and forth. However, the addresses of characters between upper and lower row are discontinuous. To change cursor position between upper row and lower row, this command will be applied.
Note 3: This command can be used to create customized icon. The starting address is 64 and every character will take 8 bytes to create a 5(W) x 7(H) resolution picture, as shown belows:

To show the customized icon, simply send the data between “0” to “7” to this module
For example, this module will display the customized icon at location 64 to 71 upon receiving data “0”; white it will display the customized icon at location 72 to 79 upon receiving data”1”.
Watchdog timer is also built in the module. This module will reset itself and send out “reset packet“ (0FDH,
0EH) thereafter.
The input must be a standard RS-232 or inverted TTL signal. The RS-232 setting should be:
Baud rate: 2400 bps
Parity: None
Data bits: 8
Stop bit: 1
What follows is the default setup after LCD module initiated:
2-line display mode; every character is 5 x 8 dots.
Display on; cursor off; cursor blink off.
Display will be cleared.
Shift right for entry mode.
Set address counter to “00”(cursor position to 0)
In entry mode.

2. The main function MUST call init() twice to initialize EZIO
before any communication.
3. For executing any command, the command prefix, Cmd, MUST be
called be command. So all command contains two parts, eg.
to initialize the sequence of HEX number is 0xFE, 0x25.
4. After clear screen and display welcome message, ReadKey()
method must be call to advise EZIO for reading data.
5. A pooling method is implemented to get input from EZIO while
any button is pressed.
