Serial Ports 1 and 2 The number of serial ports is two. The Serial Port Mode is selectable (RS232, RS 422 and RS 485), like the IRQ number. Serial Port1 (J5) The user according the device connected to the interface can choose The Serial Port1 Mode. The default mode is RS232.
• Note(!): IRQ 11 can’t be used by peripherals connected to the ISA BUS if the printed circuit board code ends with the letter “S” (PC100112S). If the printed circuit board code ends with the letter “A” (PC100112S), there aren’t any problems. • Note: not all consecutive IRQ numbers from 3 to 15 can be used; to help the selection, the Setup program displays legal IRQ numbers only. • Note: if the IRQ is shared, all the ports using the same share number can use the same IRQ number.
No IRQ selected IRQ 3 selected IRQ 4 selected IRQ 5 selected IRQ 7 selected None 3 4 5 7 (*) • (*) = Default setting Note: not all consecutive IRQ numbers from 3 to 15 can be used; to help the selection, the Setup program displays legal IRQ numbers only.
ATAPI unit type Option Description None (*) No unit selected Auto LBA CHS CD-ROM Other Unit auto-detection LBA unit selected CHS unit selected CD-ROM unit selected Other unit selected Note Default setting for both ATAPI Units (Master1 & Slave1) (*) = Default setting • Note: when the Auto feature is selected, the BIOS ignores any other data (like Mode, Cyls, Head, etc.). Use this option for the most of hard disks or other ATAPI devices.
Translation Mode Modern hard-disks have more cylinders than maximum number of cylinders permitted by DOS, so, theoretically, a DOS machine couldn’t use a modern big-sized hard disk. This problem is solved using a special addressing mechanism. This “mechanism” is called translation. The most common translation methods are LBA (Logical Block Addressing) and ECHS (Enhanced Cylinders - Heads - Sectors).
Detect Now Using the Detect Now option, the user can start manually the hard-disk autodetect procedure and see immediately the result, as well as the size (in Mbytes), in terms of cylinders, heads and sectors numbers. Error Handling Page Generally, in a normal desktop BIOS, when an error is encountered by the POST sequence, the bootstrap stops and waits for a reboot. For example a simple keyboard absence represents an irrecoverable error. This can be a serious problem in embedded systems.
Option Ignore Prompt User (*) Description The floppy disks error is ignored When a floppy disks error occurs, the system stops and waits for the user Note (*) = Default setting Error on Fixed Disks The user can decide for himself if a floppy disks error must stop the boot process or not.
Chapter 5 How to update the BIOS. The SSD This chapter explains how to use the BTOOL Program and gives information about the Integrated Solid State Disk. Warning: The BTOOL Program can be different for each CPU and each BIOS version. For the last versions visit the site: www.parvus.com.
How to update the BIOS: the BTOOL Program The BTOOL program is a utility used to program the BIOS (that is stored in the Flash EPROM) in the following cases: ¾ BIOS upgrade; ¾ Installation of a MiniDOS compatible program into the Flash (Integrated SSD); ¾ Installation of a BIOS Extension into the Flash. PLEASE NOTE: BTOOL program must be run under MS-DOS environment, not DOS WINDOW, (so, if it is necessary, create a bootable floppy disk, with the command FORMAT/S.
OPTIONS EXPLANATION BTOOL /S BTOO L/L BTOOL /U BTOOL /G FILENAME (*) BTOOL /P FILENAME (*) BTOOL /B FILENAME (*) BTOOL /V FILENAME (*) BTOOL /U FILENAME (*) BTOOL /DA BTOOL /DB This option runs the Setup program without the necessity of rebooting the system and then pressing “F2” This option locks the setup. In this way the access to the Setup Program is denied. This option unlocks the setup. In this way the access to the Setup Program is re-established.
¾ The program will store the new BIOS version. ¾ Follow all the instructions the BTOOL gives you ¾ BTOOL will inform you about the results of the operation, ¾ Power off and then power on the CPU module. The Integrated Solid State Disk A portion of the Flash EPROM can be used as an Integrated SSD. This Integrated SSD is like a write-protected floppy disk for storing files. In the SpacePC 1232, the portion is 768 KB, and before enabling it needs to be written-to using the BTOOL program.
Chapter 6 Virtual Peripherals This chapter describes how to control the SpacePC 1232 module directly from a Laptop or a standard PC compatible computer: Use this mode when the PC/104 system doesn’t have I/O devices connected to it. The “Virtual Peripherals” mode The SpacePC 1232 module is designed to be used in industrial environments as a stand-alone module, independent from specific peripherals.
Local and redirected peripherals In “Virtual Peripherals” mode, two types of peripherals are used: ¾ The peripheral directly connected to the module (keyboard, video interface, SSD and floppy) named “local peripherals” ¾ The Host computer’s peripherals used for the remote control of the module (keyboard, video interface and Floppy) named “remote or redirected peripheral”.

It is important to set the host computer parallel port to "bi-directional". Start the VP2000.EXE program (you will find it in the CPU utility CD-ROM or in www.parvus.com tech support area) on the Host computer.
If you select the [/V] [/K] [/D] [/C] parameters, the VP connection will be performed according to the following rules: ¾ Only the selected remote peripherals are redirected in VP connection. ¾ The local peripherals connected are used according to the setup. ¾ If the floppy disks are redirected, it is not possible to use the local Host computer floppy for PC operations. ¾ The Boot is performed from the selected peripheral.
Chapter 7 Watchdog Timer This chapter describes the configuration of the Watchdog Timer with some examples. The watch dog is a part of the on–board SUPER I/O device SMSC FDC 37B782 The Super I/0 watchdog allows managing time-outs in order to seconds or minutes (depending on the Super I/O programming).
Watchdog modalities The watchdog function resets the board at the end of the countdown. There are two ways to program the watchdog: • • Using BIOS INT 52h Using direct Super I/O registers programming BIOS INT 52h - functions 0Ch, 0Dh, 0Eh This method can be used under DOS or under Operating Systems using the board BIOS (i.e. not under Linux which erases the BIOS after the boot and autonomously manage the module hardware).
MOV OUT AL, 55h DX, AL ; SPIO Configuration Mode Enable Key ; Enter in configuration mode ; Select Logical Device 8 (watch dog) ... MOV MOV OUT DX, 3F0h AL, 07h DX, AL ; SPIO Index Port ; Logical Device selector is the register 7 ; Point to Logical Device selector INC MOV OUT DX AL, 08h DX, AL ; SPIO Data Port ; Logical Device number 8 ; Select the Logical Device 8 ; Select the time base (seconds or minutes) ...
Watchdog time-out pin For external control purposes, the status of the watchdog time-out event is provided to connector J11 pin 9. This signal goes high when the watchdog resets the system. The software can reset this signal by setting and resetting bit 2 of the I/O port 110h. This signal is also initialized by hardware at power-on.
