A.5 System resources

A.5.1 Currently allocated system resources

All system resources (hardware addresses, memory configuration, allocation of interrupts,
DMA channels) are assigned dynamically by the Windows® operating system, depending on
the hardware configuration, drivers and connected external devices. You can view the
current configuration of system resources or possible conflicts with Windows® as follows:
1. Press the "Windows key" and "R" simultaneously.
The "Run" dialog box opens.
2. Enter "msinfo32" in the "Open" field.
3. Confirm your entry with "OK".

A.5.2 I/O address allocation

A.5.2.1 Overview of the internal module registers

The following addresses are used for the internal registers:

I/O address (hex) Input/output unit

280 h Basic address
Base address + offset 0 GPIO port select register
Base address + offset 2 GPIO data register
Base address + offset 5 WDT control register
Base address + offset 6 WDT counter register

The status of the CMOS battery (two levels) can be read out via the battery status register as
follows.
Note: Always use read-modify-write operations so that reserved bits are not overwritten. This
can lead to impairment of the functionality of the device.

Procedure
1. Write 06h into the GPIO port select register (280h) to select the relevant register (GPIO6).
2. To get information about the battery status, read the desired value from the GPIO6 data
register (282h).

A.5.2.3 Watchdog timer (WDT) register (read/write)

The procedures for operating the watchdog timer (WDT) are described below.
Note: Always use read-modify-write operations so that reserved bits are not overwritten. This
can lead to impairment of the functionality of the device.

Enter countdown time and start timer

1. Write the desired value for the WDT Count Mode (minutes or seconds) into the WDT control
register (285h).
2. Write the desired countdown time into the WDT counter register (286h).
The countdown starts. When the countdown reaches 0, the WDT expires. If the WDT has
expired, the countdown will not restart until the WDT status "Expired" is reset.

Reset WDT countdown

1. Write the initial or new countdown time into the WDT counter register (286h).
The WDT starts counting down. When the countdown reaches 0, the WDT expires.

Stop WDT
1. Write 0 into the WDT counter register to stop the WDT completely.

Set behavior when WDT expires

1. Write the desired value for the WDT system reset (On or Off) into the GPIO2 data register
(282h).
– If On, the system restarts when the WDT expires. The WDT status is set to "Expired" and
the "PC ON/WD" LED starts pulsing red.
– If Off, the system will NOT reboot when the WDT expires. The WDT status is set to
"Expired" and the "PC ON/WD" LED starts pulsing red.

Read WDT status

1. Read the current WDT status (active or expired) from the WDT status register (287h).

Reset WDT Status "Expired"

1. Write 0 into the WDT status register (287h) to switch the WDT to "Active" again.
This step resets the "PC ON/WD" LED from pulsing red to its normal state (lit green).
The WDT starts counting down. To prevent this behavior, stop the WDT before resetting the
status to "Active".
