Sections include: • Specifications • Board layout • Dimensions Chapter 1 General Information 1 CHAPTER Introduction The PCM-4894 is an all-in-one single board 486 computer with an and interface . It offers all the functions of an industrial computer and its display capabilities on a single board, but fits in the space of a 5.25" floppy drive (only 5.75" x 8"). This means the PCM-4894 is your absolute best solution for embedded applications. The onboard PCI-bus, flat panel/CRT SVGA controller uses the CHIPS 65550 chipset with up to 2 MB of video memory (on- board 1MB). This chipset, used with the local PCI-bus, enables 32-bit graphic throughput at up to 33 MHz. Excellent for display- intensive applications, it supports various LCD types including TFT, STN, B/W, and EL. PCM-4894 A31 has one Realtek RTL 8139C PCI bus Ethernet controller on borad to offer LAN function, while PCM-4894 A31-01 doesn't have any onboard LAN. The PCM-4894 supports the M-Systems DiskOnChip 2000 (option- al) which is a new generation of high performance single-chip Flash Disk. It provides a Flash Disk (as a BIOS expansion) which does not require any bus, slots, or connectors. It is also the optimal solution for Single Board Computers because of its small size, easy integration, plug-and-play functionality, and its low power con- sumption. The DiskOnChip is available in capacities from 2MB to 72MB and fits in a standard 32-pin DIP socket. Another feature of the PCM-4894 is the inclusion of a high speed, local bus IDE controller. This controller supports (through ATA PIO) mode 3 and mode 4 hard disks, enabling data transfer rates in excess of 11 MB/second. Up to two IDE devices can be connected, including large hard disks, CD-ROM drives, tape backup drives, or other IDE devices. The built-in, enhanced IDE controller provides a 4-layer, 32-bit, posted write buffer and a 4-layer, 32-bit read-prefetch buffer to boost IDE performance. Moreover, PCM-4894 provides one riser card slot and the function of digital I/O (4 in, 4 out),while PCM-4894-A31-01 is the exception for it doesn't provide the slot and this function. 2 PCM-4894 User Manual PCI Ethernetonboard flat panel/CRT SVGA controller Specifications STANDARD SBC FUNCTIONS AMD 5X86-P75 (486DX5-133) SQFP Award 128KB FLASH BIOS ALI 1487/1489 WINBOND83877TF nd nd 2 On board 128KB 2 level cache.

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 pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3. 3 2 1 Open Closed Closed 2-3 The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows: 1 2 3 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 represen- tative before you make any changes. 12 PCM-4894 User Manual Safety precautions Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you are working on it. Do not make connections while the power is on because sensitive electronic components can be damaged by the sudden rush of power. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis. Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis. Chapter 2 Installation 13 Installing DRAM (SIMMs) The PCM-4894 CPU card provides two 72-pin SIMM (Single In- line Memory Module) sockets and supports between 4MB and 64MB. When installing SIMMs, make sure that Bank 1 is filled first. Installing SIMMs Note: that the modules can only fit into a socket one way. 1. Insert the memory module into the socket at a moderate angle. 2. Push the module toward the vertical posts at both ends of the socket until the module is upright and the retaining clips at both ends of the module click into place. When positioned correctly, the pins on top of the vertical posts should corre- spond to the circular holes on the ends of the module. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each module you install. Removing SIMMs If you need to remove a SIMM, follow the procedures below: 1. Supporting the SIMM with a finger, use a pen or a similarly shaped object and press one retaining clip straight down. 2. Repeat for the other side. When released, the retaining clips will push the SIMM up and out of its upright position. 3. Carefully pull the SIMM out of the socket with your fingers. 4. Repeat the above steps for each module you remove. 14 PCM-4894 User Manual Ethernet connector (CN1) The Ethernet connects to the PCM-4894 via an adapter cable to a 10-pin polarized header (CN1). For 100Base-T RJ-45 operation, an adapter cable converting CN1 into a standard RJ-45 is required. Please notice that PCM-4894-A31-01 doesn't have this connector.

The card comes with a 40-pin flat piggyback cable. This cable has one 44- pin 2.0mm pitch and two identical 40-pin flat-cable connectors. Connecting the hard drive Usually, wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are gray. 1. Connect one end of the cable to the IDE connector. Make sure that the red (or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector, which is labeled on the board. 2. Plug the other end of the cable to the Enhanced IDE hard drive, with pin 1 on the cable corresponding to pin 1 on the hard drive. (See your hard drive's documentation for the location of the connector.) Unlike floppy drives, you can make the connections with any of the connectors on the cable. If you install two drives, you will need to set one as the master and one as the slave. You do this using jumpers on the drives. If you install just one drive, set it as the master. 18 PCM-4894 User Manual Pin assignments The following table lists the pin numbers and their respective signals: IDE Connector (CN4) Pin Signal Pin Signal 1 Reset 2 GND 3D7 4 D8 5D6 6 D9 7 D5 8 D10 9D4 10 D11 11 D3 12 D12 13 D2 14 D13 15 D1 16 D14 17 D0 18 D15 19 GND 20 N.C. 21 N.C. 22 GND 23 IOW 24 GND 25 IOR 26 GND 27 IORDY 28 NC 29 N.C. 30 GND 31 IRQ 14 32 -I/O CS16 33 A1 34 N.C. 35 A0 36 A2 37 CS0 38 CS1 39 -ACT 40 GND 41 +5V 42 +5V 43 NC 44 GND Chapter 2 Installation 19 Floppy drive connector (CN5) You can attach up to two floppy disks to the PCM-4894's on- board controller.

Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 33 CHAPTER System test and initialization These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines encounter an error during the tests, you will either hear a few short beeps or see an error message on the screen. There are two kinds of errors: fatal and nonfatal. The system can usually continue the boot up sequence with nonfatal errors. Nonfatal error messages usually appear on the screen along with the following instructions: press to RESUME Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue the bootup sequence. System configuration verification These routines check the current system configuration against the values stored in the card’s CMOS memory. If they don’t match, the program outputs an error message. You will then need to run the BIOS setup program to set the configuration information in memory. There are three situations in which you will need to change the CMOS settings: 1. You are starting your system for the first time. 2. You have changed the hardware attached to your system. 3. The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration information has been erased. 34 PCM-4894 User Manual Award BIOS setup Entering setup Power on the computer and press immediately. This will allow you to enter the utility and the utility screen should appear (below). Setup Utility Initial Screen Award BIOS ROM has a built-in setup utility that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in a battery-backed CMOS RAM so that the information is retained when the power is turned off. Many fields in the setup screens have on-line help descriptions available: press F1 to access this help. Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 35 Standard CMOS setup When you choose the STANDARD CMOS SETUP option from the INITIAL SETUP SCREEN menu, the screen below is displayed. This standard setup menu allows users to configure system components such as the date, time, hard disk drive, floppy drive, display, and memory. Online help for each field can be accessed by pressing F1. Date and Time Configuration Select the Date and Time in the Standard setup. The current values for each category are displayed. Enter new values through the keyboard. Drive C/D The BIOS supports up to four IDE drives. This section does not show information about other IDE devices, such as a CD-ROM drive, or about other hard drive types, such as SCSI drives. NOTE: We recommend that you select type AUTO for all drives. The BIOS can automatically detect the specifications and optimal operating mode of almost all IDE hard drives. When you select type AUTO for a hard drive, the BIOS detects its specifications during POST, every time the system boots. 36 PCM-4894 User Manual If you do not want to select drive type AUTO, other methods of selecting the drive type are available: 1.Match the specifications of your installed IDE hard drive(s) with the preprogrammed values for drive types 1 through 45. 2.Select USER and enter values into each drive parameter field. 3.Use the IDE HDD AUTO DECTECTION function in Setup. Here is a brief explanation of drive specifications: Type:The BIOS contains a table of pre-defined drive types. Each defined drive type has a specified number of cylinders, number of heads, write precompensation factor, landing zone, and number of sectors. Drives whose specifications do not accommodate any pre-defined type are classified as type USER. Size: Disk drive capacity (approximate). Note that this size is usually slightly greater than the size of a formatted disk given by a disk-checking program. Cyls:Number of cylinders Head:Number of heads Precomp:Write precompensation cylinder Landz:Landing zone Sector:Number of sectors Mode:Auto, Normal, Large, or LBA - Auto:The BIOS automatically determines the optimal mode. -CHS:This allows the user to enter their own hardware values - Large:For drives that do not support LBA and have more than 1024 cylinders. - LBA (Logical Block Addressing):During drive access, the IDE controller transforms the data address described by sector, head, and cylinder number into a physical block address, significantly improving data transfer rates. For drives with greater than 1024 cylinders. Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 37 Drive A Drive B Select the correct specifications for the diskette drive(s) installed in the computer.

The displayed configuration is based on the manufacturer's SETUP DEFAULTS settings. BIOS features setup Virus Warning When this item is enabled, the Award BIOS will monitor the boot sector and partition table of the hard disk drive for any modifica- tion attempts. If an attempt is made, the BIOS will halt the system and the following error message will appear. Afterwards, you can run an anti-virus program to locate and remove the problem before any damage is done. ! WARNING ! Disk boot sector is to be modified Type "Y" to accept write or "N" to abort write Award Software, Inc. 40 PCM-4894 User Manual CPU Internal Cache/External Cache These two categories, if enabled, can speed up memory access. However, it depends on the CPU/chipset design. Quick Power On Self Test This category speeds up Power On Self Test (POST) after you power up the computer. If it is set to Enabled, BIOS will shorten or skip some check items during POST. Boot Sequence This category determines which drive to search first for the operating system. Swap Floppy Drive This item allows you to swap the floppy drive assignments so that drive A is treated as drive B and drive B is treated as drive A under DOS. The default setting is Disabled. Boot Up Floppy Seek During POST, the BIOS will determine if the floppy disk drive installed is 40 or 80 tracks. 360KB type is 40 tracks while 760KB, 1.2MB, and 1.44MB are all 80 tracks. Boot Up NumLock Status This allows you to determine the default state of the numeric keypad on an IBM-compatible extended keyboard. Boot Up System Speed This allows you to determine the Boot Up Speed. The choices are High/Low. Gate A20 Option This entry allows you to select how gate A20 is handled. Gate A20 is a device used to address memory above 1 MB. Initially, gate A20 was handled via a pin on the keyboard. Today keyboards still provide this support, however it is more common and much faster for the system chipset to provide support for gate A20. The choices are thus: Normal and Fast. Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 41 Memory Parity Check Select Enabled if the DRAM chips in your system support parity. Typematic Rate Setting Key strokes repeat at a rate determined by the keyboard controller. When enabled, the typematic rate and typematic delay can be selected. The choices: Enabled/Disabled Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec) When the typematic rate setting is enabled, you can select a typematic rate ( the rate at which character repeats when you hold down a key) of 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30. Typematic Delay (Msec) When the typematic rate setting is enabled, you can select a typematic delay (the delay before key strokes begin to repeat) of 250, 500, 750 or 1000 milliseconds. Security Option This category allows you to limit access to the system. The choices are System: which requires a password at boot up and Setup: which only requires a password to access the setup utility. PCI/VGA Palette Snoop Leave this field at Disabled. OS Select For DRAM>64M Select the operating system that is running with greater than 64MB or RAM on the system.

However, it is optional depending on the chipset design. The default setting is Enabled. Shadowing Address Ranges The next 3 lines, from C8000-CBFFF Shadow to DC000-DFFFF Shadow are address ranges for shadowing other expansion card ROMs. If there are any expansion cards with ROMs installed in your system, you have to know the address range they use in order to shadow them specifically. The default setting for all of these is Disabled. Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 43 CHIPSET features setup By choosing the BIOS FEATURES SETUP option from the INITIAL SETUP SCREEN menu, the screen below is displayed. The displayed configuration is based on the manufacturer's SETUP DEFAULTS settings. CHIPSET features setup 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. Because of the complexity and technical nature of some of the options, not all of the options are described here. 44 PCM-4894 User Manual Power management setup By choosing the POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP option from the initial SETUP SCREEN menu, the screen below is displayed. The displayed configuration is based on the manufacturer's SETUP DEFAULTS settings. Power management setup Power Management Power management lets you set up your computer to save electricity when it is not actively in use by putting the system into progressively greater power saving modes. In the power manage- ment scheme there are four system states which proceed in the following sequence: Normal � Doze � Standby � Suspend Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 45 There are four selections for Power Management (PM): Disabled Turns off PM Max Saving Maximized power saving by activating maxi- mum power saving settings after one minute of system inactivity. Min Saving Produces less power saving by activating moderate power saving settings after one hour of system inactivity. User Defined You set the power saving options manually. With the exception of Disabled, three of the above selections have "fixed-mode" settings. Therefore, when PM is set to Disabled, some items which are predefined will become unmodi- fiable. PM Control by APM When this is set to Yes, the Advanced Power Management feature in Microsoft Windows controls power management operation. The default setting is No. Video Off Option User can select 4 different modes for turning off the video. The modes are a function of the PM mode of the computer. The choices are All Modes�Off, Always On, Suspend�Off, and Susp, Stby�Off. The table below summarizes the behavior of the monitor in relation to the four PM modes. PM Mode Monitor Behavior All Modes Off - Always On Suspend Off Susp, Stby Off For example, if you choose Suspend�Off, then the monitor will turn off if the computer is in the Suspend PM mode. 46 PCM-4894 User Manual Video Off Method This governs monitor power saving by controlling how power management blanks the monitor screen. The default setting blanks the screen and turns off vertical and horizontal scanning and requires a monitor with "green" features. If you don't have this type of monitor, use the Blank option. DPMS (Display Power Management System) allows the BIOS to control the video display card if the card has the DPMS feature. V/H SYNC+Blank (Default) BLANK (non-green monitor, less saving) DPMS (Display card must support DPMS) Modem Use IRQ If you have a modem installed in your system, you can enter which IRQ it is using so that APM can control it. HDD Power Down When enabled and after the selected time of system inactivity, the hard disk drive will be powered down while all other devices will remain active. Doze Mode This sets the period of system inactivity after which the system goes into Doze mode, the most limited power saving state. The settings range from 10 seconds to 1 hour and can be set manually when power management is in User Define mode. The default setting is Disabled. When the system goes into power saving mode, power management will skip to the next mode in the sequence if this is disabled. Standby Mode This sets the period of system inactivity after which the system goes into Standby mode, the intermediate power saving state. The settings range from 10 seconds to 1 hour and can be set manually when power management is in User Define mode. The default setting is Disabled. When the system goes into power saving mode, power management will skip to the next mode in the se- quence if this is disabled. Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 47 Suspend Mode This sets the period of system inactivity after which the system goes into Suspend mode, the maximum power saving state. The settings range from 10 seconds to 1 hour and can be set manually when power management is in User Define mode. The default setting is Disabled. When the system goes into power saving mode, power management will skip to the next mode in the sequence if this is disabled. PM Events PM events are I/O events whose occurrence can prevent the system from entering a power saving mode or can awaken the system from such a mode. In effect, the system remains alert for anything which occurs to a device which is configured as En- abled, even when the system is in a power down mode. When an I/O device wants to gain the attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ (Interrupt Request) to occur. When the operating system is ready to respond to the request, it interrupts itself and performs the service. The follow- ing is a list of IRQs, which can be disabled: • COM Ports Activity • LPT Ports Activity • HDD Ports Activity • VGA Activity • IRQ3 (COM 2) • IRQ4 (COM 1) • IRQ5 (LPT 2) • IRQ6 (Floppy Disk) • IRQ7 (LPT 1) • IRQ8 (RTC Alarm) • IRQ9 (IRQ2 Redir) • IRQ10 (Reserved) • IRQ11 (Reserved) • IRQ12 (PS/2 Mouse) • IRQ13 (Coprocessor) • IRQ14 (Hard Disk) • IRQ15 (Reserved) 48 PCM-4894 User Manual PCI configuration setup By choosing the PCI CONFIGURATION SETUP option from the initial SETUP SCREEN menu, the screen below is displayed. The displayed configuration is based on the manufacturer's SETUP DEFAULTS settings. PCI configuration setup This section describes configuring the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed of the CPU when communi- cating with its own special components. This section covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users make any changes to the default settings. PnP BIOS Auto-Config The Award Plug and Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically configure all of the boot and Plug and Play compatible devices. However, this will only work if you are running a Plug and Play TM . operating system such as Windows 95 Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 49 Slot 1/2/3/4 Using INT# Some PCI devices use interrupts to signal that they need to use the PCI bus. Other devices do not need interrupt service at all. Each PCI slot can activate up to four interrupts, INT# A, INT# B, INT# C and INT# D. By default, a PCI slot is allowed INT# A. Assigning INT# B has no meaning unless the device in the slot requires two interrupt services rather than just one. Likewise, using INT# C can only mean the device requires three interrupts; and using INT# D, four interrupts. Selecting the default, AUTO, allows the PCI controller to automatically allocate the interrupts. PCI IRQ Activated By This sets the method by which the PCI bus recognizes that an IRQ service is being requested by a device. Under all circumstances, you should retain the default configuration unless advised by your system manufacturer. The choices are Level/Edge. PCI IDE 2nd Channel Since your chipset supports a second IDE channel, you can use this selection to enable or disable the second channel. The second channel may connect to a CD-ROM. PCI IDE IRQ Map To This allows you to configure your system to the type of IDE disk controller in use. The more apparent difference is the type of slot being used. If you have equipped your system with a PCI controller, changing this allows you to specify which slot has the controller and which PCI interrupt (A, B, C, D) is associated with the connected hard drives. This setting refers to the hard disk drive itself, rather than individual partitions. Selecting PCI Auto allows the system to automatically determine how your IDE disk system is configured. 50 PCM-4894 User Manual Primary & Secondary IDE INT# Each PCI peripheral connection is capable of activating up to four interrupts: INT# A, INT# B, INT# C and INT# D. By default, a PCI connection is assigned INT# A. Assigning INT# B has no meaning unless the peripheral device requires two interrupt services rather than just one. Because the PCI IDE interface in the chipset has two channels, it requires two interrupt services. The primary and secondary IDE INT# fields default to values appropriate for two PCI IDE channels, with the primary PCI IDE channel having a lower interrupt than the secondary. Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 51 Load BIOS defaults / Load setup defaults LOAD BIOS DEFAULTS loads the default system values directly from ROM. The BIOS DEFAULTS provides the most stable settings, though they do not provide optimal performance. LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS, on the other hand, provides for maximum system performance. If the stored record created by the setup utility becomes corrupted (and therefore unusable), BIOS defaults will load automatically when you turn the PCM-4894 on. 52 PCM-4894 User Manual Integrated Peripherals On-Chip Local Bus IDE The integrated peripheral controller contains a IDE interface with support for two IDE channels. Select Enabled to activate the IDE interface. IDE Buffer for DOS & Win Select Enabled to increase throughput to and from IDE devices by using the on-chip read-ahead and posted-write IDE buffers. Note that use of the buffers may cause some slow IDE devices to be even slower. When in doubt, experiment with this setting for optimal performance and data integrity. The 2nd Channel IDE Select Enable to activate the second IDE interface. IDE HDD Block Mode Select Enabled only if your hard drives support block mode. Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 53 IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO The four 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. Onboard FDC Controller Select Enabled if your system has a floppy disk controller (FDC) installed on the system board and you wish to use it. If you install an add-in FDC or the system has no floppy drive, select Disabled in this field. Onboard Serial Port 1/2/3/4 Select a logical COM port name and matching address for the first and second serial ports. Select an address and corresponding interrupt for the first and second serial ports. UART Mode Select The choices: Normal, IrDA, ASKIR. UART2 Duplex Mode In an infrared port mode, this field appears. Full-duplex mode permits simultaneous two-direction transmission. Half-duplex mode permits transmission in one direction only at a time. Select the value required by the IR device connected to the IR port. RxD, TxD Active This feature enables you to set the IR reception/transmission polarity as High or Low. You'll need to consult your IR peripheral's documentation to determine the correct polarity. IR Transmission Delay This item allows you to enable/disable IR transmission delay. The choice: Enabled, Disabled. 54 PCM-4894 User Manual Parallel Port Mode Select an operating mode for the onboard parallel (printer) port. Select Normal, Compatible, or SPP unless you are certain your hardware and software both support one of the other available modes. ECP Mode Use DMA Select a DMA channel for the port. EPP Mode Select Select EPP port type 1.7 or 1.9.

The onboard VGA adapter is based on the CHIPS VGA Flat Panel/CRT controller and is fully IBM VGA compatible. This controller offers a large set of extended functions and higher resolutions. If you intend to use your VGA adapter in standard VGA modes only, you do not need to install any of these drivers. Since your VGA adapter is fully compatible, it does not require any special driver to operate in stan- dard modes. The purpose of the enclosed software drivers is to take advantage of the extended features of the CHIPS VGA Flat Panel/CRT controller. Hardware configuration Some of the high-resolution drivers provided in this package will work only in certain system configurations. If the driver does not display correctly, please try the following steps: 1. Change the display controller to CRT-only mode, rather than flat panel or simultaneous display mode. Some high-resolution drivers will display correctly only in CRT mode. 2. If a high-resolution mode is not supported on your system, try to use a lower-resolution mode. For example, 1024 x 768 mode will not work on some systems, but 800 x 600 mode is supported on most. 62 PCM-4894 User Manual Necessary to know The instructions in this manual assume that you understand elementa- ry concepts of MS-DOS and the IBM Personal Computer.

To configure the medium type, to view the current configuration, or to run diagnostics, please refer to the following istructions: 1. Power the mainboard on. Ensure that the Rset8139.EXE file is located in the working drive. 2. At the prompt, type Rset8139.EXE and press . The Ethernet configuration program will then be displayed. 3. This simple screen shows all the available options for the Ethernet interface. Just highlight the option you wish to change by using the Up and DOWN keys. To change a selected item, press , and a screen will appear with the available options. Highlight your option and press . Each highlighted option has a helpful message guide displayed at the bottom of the screen for additional information. 4. After you have made your selections and the configuration is what you want, press . A prompt will appear asking if you want to save the configuration. Press "Y" if you want to save. The Ethernet Setup Menu also offers three very useful diagnos- tic functions. These are: 1. Run EEPROM test 2. Run Diagnostics on Board 3. Run Diagnostics on Network Each option has its own display screen which shows the format and result of any diagnostic tests undertaken. 72 PCM-4894 User Manual A Watchdog Timer Demo Program The following demo program illustrates the programming steps required to enable, set, and disable the watchdog timer. APPENDIX Watchdog timer demo program How to program the WATCHDOG TIMER 1. To enable the time-out interval of watchdog timer: -- output the desired value to port 0x443. The resolution of watchdog timer is 1 sec. Since the data is of 1 byte, the time- out interval will be 1 sec ~ 255 sec. Whenever the value of timer is not zero, the timer will automatically count down e.g. outportb(0x443, 30); // set interval to 48 sec and count down 2. To set the time-out event: -- output data to port 0x444. The default setting is “reset system”. • 0: reset system (default) • 1, 2, 3: IRQ 10, 15, 11 respectively • 4: NMI e.g. outportb(0x444, 0); // set time-out event to reset-system 3. To disable watchdog timer: -- output value “0” to port 0x443. e.g. outportb(0x443, 0); // disable watchdog timer A-74 PCM-4894 User Manual 4. To refresh watchdog timer: -- output the desired value to port 0x443. The timer will reset to the new value and count down. e.g. outportb(0x443,10); // set time-out interval to 16 sec … outportb(0x443,20); // reset watchdog timer to 32 sec Demo program in C outportb(0x444, 0); // set time-out event to reset-system outportb(0x443, 10); // set time-out interval to 16 seconds job1(); // execute your job here, be sure your job will finished within 16 seconds outputb(0x443,20); // set time-out interval to 32 seconds and refresh watchdog timer, otherwise the system will reset after time-out job2(); // another job finished within 32 seconds outportb(0x443, 0); // disable watchdog timer … Appendix A Watchdog Timer Demo Program A-75 A-76 PCM-4894 User Manual B Installing PC/104 Modules This appendix gives instructions for installing PC/104 modules.
