2.3.9 Panel Interface
Alternative displays to the standard CRT monitor are digital flat panel interfaces in which
the color of each pixel is digitally encoded. 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

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

from VGA to UXGA resolutions (25 - 165Mpps) in a single link interface. The SiI164
transmitter has a highly flexible interface with either a 12-bit mode (½ pixel per clock edge)
or 24-bit mode 1-pixel/clock input for true color (16.7 million) support. In 24-bit mode, the
SiI164 supports single or dual edge clocking. In 12-bit mode, the SiI164 supports dual
edge single clocking or single edge dual clocking. The SiI164 can be programmed though
an I2C interface. The SiI164 support Receiver and Hot Plug Detection.
PanelLink Digital technology simplifies PC design by resolving many of the system level
issues associated with high-speed mixed signal design, providing the system designer
with a digital interface solution that is quicker to market and lower in cost.

3.6 Setting Jumpers
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.
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.
3.7 Clear CMOS (J3)
You can use J3 to clear the CMOS data if necessary. To reset the CMOS data, set J3 to

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 (typ. 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.

3.10.26 Signal Description – PC/104 Connector (CN8, CN9)
3.10.26.1 Address
LA [23:17] The address signals LA [23:17] define the selection of a 128KB section of memory space
within the 16MB address range of the 16-bit data bus. 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

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.

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. Due to the use of pull-ups, unused interrupt inputs must be masked.

3.10.26.7 Bus Arbitration
DRQ [0:3], These signals are active high signals driven by a DMA bus adapter to indicate a request for a
DRQ [5:7] DMA bus operation. 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

EDGE Edge select / Hot Plug input. 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. If the I2C is disabled (ISEL = LOW), then this pin
selects the input bus width.
Input Bus Select:
HIGH selects 24-bit input mode
LOW selects 12-bit input mode

4. 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
