The two key components on board are the VIA VT82C694X North Bridge and VT82C686A super South Bridge. These two devices provide the ISA and PCI bus to which all the major components are attached. The following sections provide detailed information about the functions provided onboard. 6 PCM-6892E User’s Manual PCM-6892E 2.3.1 VIA VT82C694X The VIA VT82C694X along with the VT82C686A companion chip provide the basic functionality and buses of the system: � High Performance CPU interface. � Full Featured Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) controller. � Advanced High-Performance DRAM controller. PC133 compliant SDRAM must be used if 133MHz FSB CPU is to be used. � Concurrent PCI Bus controller. � PCI to ISA Bridge provided by VT82C686A super south bridge. � Universal Serial Bus controller integrated in the VT82C686A. � UltraDMA-33 / 66 Master Mode PCI EIDE controller. Two connectors are provided: A 40 pin pitch 2.54mm standard IDE interface on the primary controller and a Compact Flash connector on the secondary controller. � SoundBlaster Pro hardware and Direct Sound ready AC97 Digital Audio controller. 2.3.2 DRAM Interface The VT82C694X supports eight banks of DRAMs up to 1.5GB. The DRAM controller supports standard Fast Page Mode (FPM) DRAM, EDO-DRAM, Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) and Virtual Channel SDRAM (VC SDRAM), in a flexible mix / match manner. The Synchronous DRAM interface allows zero wait state bursting between the DRAM and the data buffers at 66/100/133 MHz. The eight banks of DRAM can be composed of an arbitrary mixture of 1M / 2M / 4M / 8M / 16M / 32MxN DRAMs. The DRAM controller also supports optional ECC (single-bit error correction and multi-bit detection) or EC (error checking) capability separately selectable on a bank-by-bank basis. The DRAM controller can run at either the host CPU bus frequency (66 /100 /133MHz) or at the AGP bus frequency (66 MHz) with built-in PLL timing control. 2.3.3 AGP Interface The VT82C694X system controller also supports full AGP v2.0 capability for maximum bus utilization including 2x and 4x mode transfers, SBA (SideBand Addressing), Flush/Fence commands, and pipelined grants.

The panel data may be transferred in parallel where the color of each pixel is transferred over a number of signal lines at rates up to 80MHz. Lynx3DM supports both color dual scan STN (passive) and color TFT (active) panel interface. It can also support color TFT panel with RGB analog interface. For color DSTN panel, Lynx3DM can support 16-bit and 24-bit interfaces up to 1600x1200 resolution. For color TFT panel, Lynx3DM can support single pixel per clock of 9-bit, 12-bit, 18-bit, 24-bit, or double-pixel per clock of 24-bit, 36-bit interfaces up to 1280x1024 resolution. Lynx3DM supports two separate digital LCDs. Both LCDs need to be TFT interface. FP1 has to be only 18-bit TFT interface and FP2 has to be 24-bit TFT interface. DSTN panel cannot be supported under dual digital LCD mode. Dual Digital LCD mode is supported through the Virtual Refresh architecture. FP1 and FP2 must be in Virtual Refresh mode. FP1 clocks the data based on VRCLK (Virtual Refresh Clock); whereas FP2 clocks the data based on FIFOCLK (based on Video Clock). The parallel interface is only suitable for short distance (less than 50 cm) and is typically implemented by using of ribbon cables. One should be careful in the EMC design of the box and cabling when this interface is used. It should also be noted that the signal level of this interface is 3.3V, but does comply with the TTL signal levels. Some or most older displays require a 5V signal level. 2.3.10 Zoom Video Port Lynx3DM's Zoom Video Port (ZV Port) is designed to interface with video solutions implemented as PCMCIA (or PC CardBus) cards: examples are NTSC/PAL decoders, MPEG-2 decoders, and JPEG Codecs. The ZV Port can also directly interface with an NTSC/PAL decoder, such as Philips 7111 or BT819. Incoming video data from the ZV Port interface can be YUV or RGB format. The data can be interlaced or non-interlaced. The ZV Port can be configured for output if the video capture function is disabled. 18-bit graphics and video data in RGB format can be sent out when the ZV Port is configured for output mode. The ZV Port may also be configured as a test port. Up to 20 signals from each of the logic blocks within Lynx3DM can be brought out to an internal test bus (TD Bus) connected to the ZV Port. System designers or silicon validation engineers can access these signals by setting the TEST0, TEST1, USR0, USR1, and USR2 pins. This approach can bring out a total of 180 internal signals to the primary I/O pins. The test port capability can be used to enhance fault coverage, as well as reduces silicon validation or debugging time. The Video Capture Unit captures incoming video data from the ZV Port and then stores the data into the frame buffer. PCM-6892E User’s Manual 11 User’s Manual The Video Capture Unit support several features to maintain display quality, and balance the capture rate: � 2-tap, 3-tap, and 4-tap horizontal filtering � 2 to 1 and 4 to 1 reduction for horizontal and vertical frame size � YUV 4:2:2, YUV 4:2:2 with byte swap, RGB 5:5:5, and RGB 5:6:5 � Multiple frame skipping methods � Interlaced data and non-interlaced data capture � Single buffer and double buffer capture � Cropping Lynx3DM uses the Video Processor block to display the captured data on the LCD, TV, or CRT display. The captured data can be displayed through Video Window I or Video Window II. The stretching, color interpolation, YUV-to-RGB conversion, and color key functions are performed in the Video Processor. Lynx3DM's Video Processor can simultaneously process captured video data and perform CD-ROM playback on two independent video windows. Lynx3DM also supports real-time video capture to the hard drive or system memory through PCI master mode or slave mode. In PCI bus master mode, Lynx3DM uses the Drawing Engine's Host BLT and Host DMA functions to maximize performance. 2.3.11 TV Encoder The TV Encoder is an NTSC/PAL Composite Video/S-video Encoder. It receives RGB inputs and converts to digital video signals based on CCIR 624 format. The input video signal of the TV Encoder is RGB 8-bit each. The sampling rate is corresponding to CCIR 601, Square pixel and 4Fsc (NTSC only). The output video signals of the TV Encoder are Composite video signal and S-video signals of 10-bit each. These output signals are over-sampled by a double frequency clock called CLKX2. This feature helps to simplify external analog filtering. The TV Encoder video timing is controlled by vertical sync and the horizontal sync input signals. The blank signal input is optional. If the blank signal input signal is pulled up, internal blanking control will be performed. Macrovision 7.01 and closed captioning functions are included. Key features are summarized as the following: � NTSC/PAL interlace mode digital video encoder � Composite Video and S-Video digital output � CCIR 601, Square pixel and 4Fsc (NTSC only) resolution RGB input � Slave timing operation � Interlace mode operation � 2x over-sampling data output to simplify external analog filtering � Selectable pedestal level OIRE/7.5IRE for NTSC � Macrovision function (version 7.01) � Closed captioning function 12 PCM-6892E User’s Manual PCM-6892E 2.3.12 Ethernet The Ethernet interfaces are based on two Intel 82559ER Ethernet controllers, which support both 100Mbit as well as l0Mbit Base-T interface. The Ethernet controllers are attached to the PCI bus and use PCI bus mastering for data transfer. The CPU is thereby not loaded during the actual data transfer. The 82559ER is part of Intel's second-generation family of fully integrated 10BASE- T/100BASE-TX LAN solutions. The 82559ER consists of both the Media Access Controller (MAC) and the physical layer (PHY) combined into a single component solution. 82559 family members build on the basic functionality of the 82558 and contain power management enhancements. The 82559ER is a 32-bit PCI controller that features enhanced scatter-gather bus mastering capabilities, which enables the 82559ER to perform high-speed data transfers over the PCI bus. The 82559ER bus master capabilities enable the component to process high-level commands and perform multiple operations, thereby off-loading communication tasks from the system CPU. Two large transmit and receive FIFOs of 3 Kbytes each help prevent data underruns and overruns, allowing the 82559ER to transmit data with minimum interframe spacing (IFS). The 82559ER can operate in either full duplex or half duplex mode. In full duplex mode the 82559ER adheres to the IEEE 802.3x Flow Control specification. Half duplex performance is enhanced by a proprietary collision reduction mechanism. The 82559ER includes a simple PHY interface to the wire transformer at rates of 10BASE- T and 100BASE-TX, and Auto-Negotiation capability for speed, duplex, and flow control. These features and others reduce cost, real estate, and design complexity. The 82559ER also includes an interface to a serial (4-pin) EEPROM and a parallel interface to a 128 Kbyte Flash memory. The EEPROM provides power-on initialization for hardware and software configuration parameters PCM-6892E User’s Manual 13 User’s Manual 2.3.13 Compact Flash Interface A Compact Flash type II connector is connected to the secondary IDE controller.

These signals are active high. The validity of the MEMCS16# depends on these signals only. These address lines are presented to the system with tri-state drivers. The permanent master drives these lines except when an alternate master cycle occurs; in this case, the temporary master drives these lines. The LA signals are not defined for I/O accesses. SA [19:0] System address. Address lines for the first one Megabyte of memory. SA [9:0] used for I/O addresses. SA0 is the least significant bit SBHE# This signal is an active low signal, that indicates that a byte is being transferred on the upper byte (SD [15:8)) of the 16 bit bus. All bus masters will drive this line with a tri-state driver. 3.10.26.2 Data SD [15:8] These signals are defined for the high order byte of the 16-bit data bus. Memory or I/O transfers on this part of the bus are defined when SBHE# is active. SD [7:0] These signals are defined for the low order byte of the 16-bit data bus being the only bus for 8 bit PC-AT/PC104 adapter boards. Memory or I/O transfers on this part of the data bus are defined for 8-bit operations with even or odd addresses and for 16-bit operations for odd addresses only. The signals SA0 and SBHE# are used to define the data present on this bus: SBHE# SA0 SD15-SD8 SD7-SD0 Action 0 0 ODD EVEN Word transfer 0 1 ODD ODD Byte transfer on SD15- SD8 1 0 - EVEN Byte transfer on SD7- SD0 1 1 - ODD Byte transfer on SD7- SD0 38 PCM-6892E User’s Manual PCM-6892E 3.10.26.3 Commands BALE This is an active high signal used to latch valid addresses from the current bus master on the falling edge of BALE. During DMA, refresh and alternate master cycles, BALE is forced high for the duration of the transfer. BALE is driven by the permanent master with a totem-pole driver. IOR# This is an active low signal driven by the current master to indicate an I/O read operation. I/O mapped devices using this strobe for selection should decode addresses SA [15:0] and AEN. Additionally, DMA devices will use IOR# in conjunction with DACK # to decode a DMA transfer n from the I/O device. The current bus master will drive this line with a tri-state driver. IOW# This is an active low signal driven by the current master to indicate an I/O write operation. I/O mapped devices using this strobe for selection should decode addresses SA [15:0] and AEN. Additionally, DMA devices will use IOR# in conjunction with DACK # to decode a DMA transfer n from the I/O device. The current bus master will drive this line with a tri-state driver. SMEMR# This is an active low signal driven by the permanent master to indicate a memory read operation in the first 1MB of system memory. Memory mapped devices using this strobe should decode addresses SA [19:0] only. If an alternate master drives MEMR#, the permanent master will drive SMEMR# delayed by internal logic. The permanent master ties this line to VCC through a pull-up resistor to ensure that it is inactive during the exchange of bus masters. SMEMW# This is an active low signal driven by the permanent master to indicate a memory write operation in the first 1MB of system memory. Memory mapped devices using this strobe should decode addresses SA [19:0] only. If an alternate master drives MEMR#, the permanent master will drive SMEMR# delayed by internal logic. The permanent master ties this line to VCC through a pull-up resistor to ensure that it is inactive during the exchange of bus masters. MEMR# This is an active low signal driven by the current master to indicate a memory read operation. Memory mapped devices using this strobe should decode addresses LA [23:17] and SA [19:0]. All bus masters will drive this line with a tri-state driver. The permanent master ties this line to VCC through a pull-up resistor to ensure that it is inactive during the exchange of bus masters. MEMW# This is an active low signal driven by the current master to indicate a memory write operation. Memory mapped devices using this strobe should decode addresses LA [23:17] and SA [19:0]. All bus masters will drive this line with a tri-state driver. The permanent master ties this line to VCC through a pull-up resistor to ensure that it is inactive during the exchange of bus masters. PCM-6892E User’s Manual 39 User’s Manual 3.10.26.4 Transfer Response IOCS16# This is an active low signal driven by an I/O-mapped PC-AT/PC104 adapter indicating that the I/O device located at the address is a 16-bit device. This open collector signal is driven, based on SA [15:0] only (not IOR# and IOW#) when AEN is not asserted. MEMCS16# This is an active low signal driven by a memory mapped PC-AT/PC104 adapter indicating that the memory device located at the address is a 16-bit device. This open collector signal is driven, based on LA [23:17] only. 0WS# This signal is an active low open-collector signal asserted by a 16-bit memory mapped device that may cause an early termination of the current transfer. It should be gated with MEMR# or MEMW# and is not valid during DMA transfers. IOCHRDY precedes 0WS#. IOCHRDY This is an active high signal driven inactive by the target of either a memory or an I/O operation to extend the current cycle. This open collector signal is driven based on the system address and the appropriate control strobe. IOCHRDY precedes 0WS#. IOCHCK# This is an active low signal driven active by a PC-AT/PC104 adapter detecting a fatal error during bus operation. When this open collector signal is driven low it will typically cause a non- maskable interrupt. 3.10.26.5 Controls SYSCLK This clock signal may vary in frequency from 2.5 MHz to 25.0 MHz depending on the setup made in the BIOS. Frequencies above 16 MHz are not recommended. The standard states 6 MHz to 8.33 MHz, but most new adapters are able to handle higher frequencies. The PC- AT/PC104 bus timing is based on this clock signal. OSC This is a clock signal with a 14.31818 MHz ± 50 ppm frequency and a 50 ± 5% duty cycle. The signal is driven by the permanent master. RESETDRV This active high signal indicates that the adapter should be brought to an initial reset condition. This signal will be asserted by the permanent master on the bus for at least 100 ms at power- up or watchdog time-out to ensure that adapters in the system are properly reset. When active, all adapters should turn off or tri-state all drivers connected to the bus. 3.10.26.6 Interrupts IRQ [3:7], These signals are active high signals, which indicate the presence of an interrupting PC- IRQ [9:12], AT/PC104 bus adapter.

DRQ [0:3] request 8 bit DMA operations, while DRQ [5:7] request 16 bit operations. All bus DMA adapters will drive these lines with a tri-state driver. The permanent master monitors these signals to determine which of the DMA devices, if any, are requesting the bus. DACK [0:3]#, These signals are active low signals driven by the permanent master to indicate that a DMA DACK [5:7]# operation can begin. They are continuously driven by a totem pole driver for DMA channels attached. AEN This signal is an active high totem pole signal driven by the permanent master to indicate that the address lines are driven by the DMA controller. The assertion of AEN disables response to I/O port addresses when I/O command strobes are asserted. AEN being asserted, only the device with active DACK # should respond. n REFRESH# This is an active low signal driven by the current master to indicate a memory refresh operation. The current master will drive this line with a tri-state driver. TC This active high signal is asserted during a read or write command indicating that the DMA controller has reached a terminal count for the current transfer.

If the I2C bus is enabled (ISEL = HIGH), then this pin is used to monitor the “Hot Plug” detect signal (Please refer to the DVITM or VESA® P&DTM and DFP standards). Note: This Input is ONLY 3.3V tolerant and has no internal debouncer circuit. If I2C bus is disabled (ISEL = LOW), then this pin selects the clock edge that will latch the data. How the EDGE setting works depends on whether dual or single edge latching is selected: Dual Edge Mode (DSEL = HIGH) EDGE = LOW, the primary edge (first/even latch edge after DE is asserted) is the falling edge. EDGE = HIGH, the primary edge (first/odd latch edge after DE is asserted) is the rising edge. Note: In 24-bit single clock dual edge mode, EDGE is ignored. Single Edge Mode (DSEL = LOW) EDGE = LOW, the falling edge of the clock is used to latch data. EDGE = HIGH, the rising edge of the clock is used to latch data. DDCDAT Dual edge clock select / I2C Data. This pin is an open collector input. If I2C bus is enabled (ISEL = HIGH), then this pin is the I2C data line. If the I2C bus is disabled (ISEL = LOW), then this pin selects whether single clock dual edge is used. Dual edge clock select: When HIGH, IDCK+ latches input data on both falling and rising clock edges. When LOW, IDCK+/IDCK- latches input data on only falling or rising clock edges. In 24-/12-bit mode: If HIGH (dual edge), IDCK+ is used to latch data on both falling and rising edges. st nd If LOW (single edge), IDCK+ latches 1 half data and IDCK- latches 2 half data. DDCCLK Input bus select / I2C clock. This pin is an open collector input. If I2C bus is enabled (ISEL = HIGH), then this pin is the I2C clock input.

AWARD BIOS Setup 4.1 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 immediately after switching the system on, or By pressing the 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 , , and 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 54 PCM-6892E User’s Manual PCM-6892E 4.2 Using Setup In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press to select, use the PageUp and PageDown keys to change entries, press for help and press to quit.

Then press . A “�” pointer marks all sub menus. PCM-6892E User’s Manual 55 User’s Manual 4.3 Getting Help Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press or the F1 key again. 4.4 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. 4.5 Main Menu Once you enter the AwardBIOS™ CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from several setup functions and two exit choices. Use the arrow keys to select among the items and press to accept and enter the sub-menu. Note that a brief description of each highlighted selection appears at the bottom of the screen. 56 PCM-6892E User’s Manual PCM-6892E 4.5.1 Setup Items The main menu includes the following main setup categories.

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. 4.5.4.1 SDRAM Clock Frequency Set SDRAM clock speed.

The time interval is from 32 seconds to 254 minutes with a resolution of 30 seconds. As soon as the timer is out, the system will generate a reset signal. Configure Register The PCM-6892E onboard watchdog timer function is integrated in the I/O chip, Winbond W83977EF-AW. If you would like to utilize this function in your program, you have to know how to program the W83977EF-AW configuration register. The W83977EF-AW I/O chip decode address is 3F0h. The index port and data port is 3F1h. The way to program the register is to write the register number to index port, then read / write data from / to data port. The following procedures show how to program the W83977EF-AW register and use the watchdog function. 1. Unlock W83977EF-AW I/O chip and enter configuration mode. 2. Select Logical Device. 3. Select register number. 4. Read / Write data from / to register. 5. Lock W83977EF-AW I/O chip and exit from configuration mode. PCM-6892E User’s Manual 119 User’s Manual Programming Watchdog Timer To Unlock / Lock W83977EF-AW and Enter / Exit configuration mode is to write a specific value to I/O Port 3F0h as shown below. Unlock W83977EF-AW: write value 87h to I/O port 3F0h twice. Lock W83977EF-AW: write value aah to I/O port 3F0h. Therefore, to unlock W83977EF-AW I/O chip and enter configuration mode, write twice unlock value (87h) to port 3F0h. Ex: outportb(0x3f0, 0x87); outportb(0x3f0, 0x87); Set register 30h of logical device 8 to 1 to activate the timer. Logical Device 8: Register number 30h (CR30) 00h: timer inactive 01h: timer active Write value 7 to port 3F0h /* register 7 (logical device switch register)*/ Write value 8 to port 3F1h /* write value 8 to enter logical device 8 */ Ex: outportb(0x3f0, 0x07); outportb(0x3f1, 0x08); Write time-out value (01h ~ FFh) to timer register (F2h). Logical Device 8: Register number F2h (CRF2) 00h: Time-out Disable 01h: Time-out occurs after 32 seconds 02h: Time-out occurs after 1 minute 32 seconds 03h: Time-out occurs after 2 minutes 32 seconds 04h: Time-out occurs after 3 minutes 32 seconds 05h: Time-out occurs after 4 minutes 32 seconds . . . FFh: Time-out occurs after 254 minutes 32 seconds Write register number F2h to port 3F0h Write time-out value to port 3F1h Ex: outportb(0x3f0, 0xF2); /* register F2 (Watchdog Timer) */ outportb(0x3f1, 0x01); /* time-out value 01 = 32 seconds */ Lock W83977EF-AW I/O chip, and exit configuration mode Write lock value (AAh) to port 3F0h Ex: outportb(0x3f0, 0xAA); The following shows two examples of programming the watchdog timer with 32 seconds time interval in both Micro-assembly and C language. 120 PCM-6892E User’s Manual PCM-6892E Demo Program 1 (Micro-Assembly Language) ;;============================================================== ;; Title : PCM-6892E Watchdog Timer Demo Program (32 seconds) ;; Company : EMAC, Inc. ;; Date : 11/02/2000 ;;============================================================== .model small .code W83977_IO_PORT DW 3F0H UNLOCK_ID DB 087h LOCK_ID DB 0AAH ;;--------------------------------------------------- ;; Main Program start ;;--------------------------------------------------- Watchdog PROC ;; Set Logic Device 8 Active mov bl, 8 ;; Logic Device 8 mov al, 30h ;; Register 30h mov ah, 01h ;; Active --> 01h, InActive --> 00h call W977_Register_Set ;; Set watchdog time-out value = 1 (32 seconds) mov bl, 8 ;; Logic Device 8 mov al, 0F2h ;; Register F2h mov ah, 01h ;; 01h ~ FFh == 0:32 ~ 254:32 call W977_Register_Set mov ah,4ch ;; Return to DOS int 21h ret WatchDog ENDP ;;--------------------------------------------------- ;;--------------------------------------------------- ;; unlock W83977 register program mode ;;--------------------------------------------------- Unlock_977 proc cli push ax push dx mov al, UNLOCK_ID mov dx, cs:W83977_IO_PORT out dx, al ;; write Unlock_ID to w83977 twice out dx, al PCM-6892E User’s Manual 121 User’s Manual jmp $+2 jmp $+2 pop dx pop ax ret Unlock_977 endp ;;--------------------------------------------------- ;;--------------------------------------------------- ;; lock w83977 register program mode ;;--------------------------------------------------- Lock_977 proc push ax push dx mov dx, cs:W83977_IO_PORT mov al, LOCK_ID out dx, al pop dx pop ax ret Lock_977 endp ;;--------------------------------------------------- ;;--------------------------------------------------- ;; Select W83977 I/O chip Logic Device ;; bl : Device Number ;;--------------------------------------------------- Set_Device proc push ax push dx mov dx, cs:W83977_IO_PORT mov al, 07h out dx, al inc dx mov al, bl out dx, al pop dx pop ax ret Set_Device endp 122 PCM-6892E User’s Manual PCM-6892E ;;--------------------------------------------------- ;;--------------------------------------------------- ;; Write data to W83977 Register ;; al : register number ;; ah : data ;; bl : device number ;;--------------------------------------------------- W977_Register_Set PROC push dx call Unlock_977 call Set_Device mov dx, cs: W83977_IO_PORT out dx, al mov al, ah inc dx out dx, al call Lock_977 pop dx ret W977_Register_Set ENDP ;;--------------------------------------------------- end PCM-6892E User’s Manual 123 User’s Manual Demo Program 2 (C Language) //============================================================== // Title : PCM-6892E Watchdog Timer Test Utility // Company : EMAC, Inc. // Programer: Winston Kang // Version : 1.0 // Date : 11/02/2000 // Compiler : Borland C ++ //============================================================== #include #include #include #define IO_INDEX_PORT 0x3F0 #define IO_DATA_PORT 0x3F1 #define UNLOCK_DATA 0x87 #define LOCK_DATA 0xAA #define DEVICE_REGISTER 0x07 void EnterConfigMode() { outportb(IO_INDEX_PORT, UNLOCK_DATA); outportb(IO_INDEX_PORT, UNLOCK_DATA); } void ExitConfigMode() { outportb(IO_INDEX_PORT, LOCK_DATA); } void SelectDevice(unsigned char device) { outportb(IO_INDEX_PORT, DEVICE_REGISTER); outportb(IO_DATA_PORT, device); } unsigned char ReadAData(short int reg) { outportb(IO_INDEX_PORT, reg); return (inportb(IO_DATA_PORT)); } void WriteAData(unsigned char reg, unsigned char data) { outportb(IO_INDEX_PORT, reg); outportb(IO_DATA_PORT, data); } 124 PCM-6892E User’s Manual PCM-6892E void SetWatchDogTime(unsigned char time_val) { EnterConfigMode(); SelectDevice(8); //Set Register F2 //Set Watch-Dog Timer WriteAData(0xF2, time_val); //Set Register 30 //Set Device 8 Function enable WriteAData(0x30, 0x01); ExitConfigMode(); } int Detect_W83977EF() { EnterConfigMode(); if (ReadAData(0x20) == 0x52 && ReadAData(0x21) == 0xF4) return 0; else return 1; } void main(int argc, char* argv[]) { int time_value=0; char *ptr; printf("WinBond 83977EF WatchDog Timer Test Utility Version 1.0 \n"); printf("Copyright (c) 2000 \n"); printf("(only support PCM-6892E board and will reset the system)\n"); if (argc == 1) { printf("\n Syntax: 5610WDT [step] \n"); printf(" step range : 1 ~ 256 steps \n"); printf(" timer range: 0:32 ~ 254:32 (min:sec) \n"); return ; } if (Detect_W83977EF()==1) { printf("Sorry !
