1.10 Entering Rescue Mode during Runtime
The MSEL (Mode Select) input signal of the iChip (see the iChip CO2128 Datasheet),
can be used for entering iChip into Rescue mode.
If MSEL is pulled low (logical 0) for more than 5 seconds during runtime, iChip waits
until MSEL is pulled high (logical 1), performs a software reset and restarts in Rescue
mode. In Rescue mode, iChip performs the following operations:
If in SerialNET mode iChip exits SerialNET mode (changes SNMD value to 0).
If serial baud rate (BDRF or BDRD) is set to a fixed value iChip forces auto baud
rate detection. BDRF/BDRD value will be used again upon the next power-up.
If Always Online mode is defined (TUP=2), or Automatic Router Start is enabled
(ARS=1) iChip bypasses this mode, which means that iChip does not attempt to go
online until the next software or hardware reset.
If the Host Interface parameter (HIF) is set to a fixed interface, it is forced into auto
host interface detection mode (HIF=0).
1.11 Internet Session Hang-Up Procedure (Modem Only)
Upon completion of a dialup Internet session, the iChip automatically executes a modem
hang-up procedure:
The DTR line is dropped.
After a 1 second delay, iChip raises the DTR.
If the modem responds to the DTR drop with a No Carrier then Done. Otherwise,
iChip issues a (+++) to the modem followed by ATH.
1.12 Modem Startup
Following power-up and baud rate determination, iChip in dial-up mode issues the
AT<CR> command to the modem to configure the modem‘s baud rate.
1.13 Analog-to-Digital Converter
iChip contains an Analog-to-Digital (A/D) 8-bit converter that receives analog input
voltage through the ADC signal. This input voltage can be monitored: if it reaches a
predefined upper threshold or goes below a certain lower threshold, an acknowledgement
can be sent. This acknowledgement is sent to the host processor through one of iChip‘s
general-purpose I/O pins (GPIO).
Input voltage can be polled every predefined number of milliseconds. In addition, a report
can be obtained at any given time by issuing the AT+iRP19 command.
The following parameters determine the behavior of the A/D converter:
ADCL and ADCD specify threshold and delta values, respectively. If the value read
from the register of the A/D converter is greater than the sum of ADCL and ADCD,
then the GPIO pin specified by the ADCP parameter is asserted High. If that value is
less than ADCL minus ADCD, the GPIO pin is asserted Low.
