2 Introduction
2 Introduction
2.1 ETX®-PM
ETX®-PM component SBC modules support the Intel® Pentium® M Processor. The ETX®-PM features an
Intel® 855GME or Intel® 852GM chipset graphics memory controller hub with Intel® Extreme Graphics 2
technology.
In addition to standard ETX® features, the ETX®-PM supports four 2.0 USB ports, up to 1GB DDR-SDRAM
SO-DIMMS PC 1600/2100-memory modules, 10/100Base-T Ethernet, keyboard/mouse controllers, a
real-time clock, and a watchdog timer.
2.2 ETX® Documentation

This product manual serves as one of three principal references for an ETX® design. It documents the
specifications and features of ETX®-PM. The other two references, which are available from the Kontron
Embedded Modules GmbH Web site, include:
® The ETX® Component SBC™ Specification defines the ETX® module form factor,
pinout, and signals. You should read this first.
® The ETX® Component SBC™ Design Guide serves as a general guide for baseboard
design, with a focus on maximum flexibility to accommodate a range of ETX®
modules.
Note: Some of the information contained within this product manual applies only to certain product revisions
(Prev: xxx). If certain information applies to specific product revisions (Prev: xxx) it will be stated. Please
check the product revision of your module to see if this information is applicable.
2.3 ETX® Benefits

Embedded technology extended (ETX®) modules are very compact (~100mm square, 12mm thick),
highly integrated computers. All ETX® modules feature a standardized form factor and a standardized
connector layout that carry a specified set of signals. This standardization allows designers to create a
single-system baseboard that can accept present and future ETX® modules.
® ETX® modules include common personal computer (PC) peripheral functions such as:
® Graphics
® Parallel, Serial, and USB ports
® Keyboard/mouse
® Ethernet
® Sound
® IDE
The baseboard designer can optimize exactly how each of these functions implements physically.
Designers can place connectors precisely where needed for the application on a baseboard designed to
optimally fit a system’s packaging.

2 Introduction
Peripheral PCI or ISA (ISA only available on ETX®-PM modules with Prev x12 or later) buses can be
implemented directly on the baseboard rather than on mechanically unwieldy expansion cards. The
ability to build a system on a single baseboard using the computer as one plug-in component simplifies
packaging, eliminates cabling, and significantly reduces system-level cost.
A single baseboard design can use a range of ETX® modules. This flexibility can differentiate products at
various price/performance points, or to design future proof systems that have a built-in upgrade path.
The modularity of an ETX® solution also ensures against obsolescence as computer technology evolves.
A properly designed ETX® baseboard can work with several successive generations of ETX® modules.
An ETX® baseboard design has many advantages of a custom, computer-board design but delivers better
obsolescence protection, greatly reduced engineering effort, and faster time to market.

you are on the board of the thermal specification. If this is the case improvements to your thermal solution
are recommended.
3.3.6 CMOS Battery Power Consumption & RTC Accuracy
RTC Voltage Range Quiescent Current

2.95 μA @ 2.5 V
Integrated in the southbridge 2.0 V – 3.6 V
3.64 µA @ 3.0 V
CMOS battery power consumption was measured with an ETX®-PM module on a standard Kontron ETX®
evaluation board. The system was turned off and the battery was removed from the evaluation board.
The 2.5 V or 3.0 V of power was supplied from a DC power supply. Do not use these values to calculate the
CMOS battery lifetime.

3 Specifications
RTC deviation of ETX®-PM reflects state-of-the-art accuracy. In statistical test rows over a longer span of
time, different manufacturing sites and different product variants, it has been determined that an
average deviation of 1,5s/24h can be expected. Worst case deviation has been observed to 5s/24h.
3.4 Environmental Specifications
3.4.1 Temperature
Operating: (with Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH heat-spreader plate assembly):

® Ambient temperature: 0 to +60 °C
® Maximum heatspreader-plate temperature: 0 to +60 °C (*)
® Non-operating: -30 to +85 °C
See the Thermal Management chapter for additional information.
Note: *The maximum operating temperature with the heatspreader plate is the maximum measurable temperature
on any spot on the heatspreader’s surface. You must maintain the temperature according to the above
specification.
Operating (without Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH heat-spreader plate assembly):

® Maximum operating temperature: 0 to +60 °C (**)
® Non operating: -30 to +85 °C
See the Thermal Management chapter for additional information.
Note: **The maximum operating temperature is the maximum measurable temperature on any spot on a module’s
surface. You must maintain the temperature according to the above specification.
3.4.2 Humidity
® Operating: 10% to 90% (non condensing)
® Non operating: 5% to 95% (non condensing)

3 Specifications
3.5 MTBF
The following MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) values were calculated using a combination of
manufacturer’s test data, if the data was available, and a Bellcore calculation for the remaining parts.
The Bellcore calculation used is “Method 1 Case 1”. In that particular method the components are
assumed to be operating at a 50 % stress level in a 40° C ambient environment and the system is
assumed to have not been burned in. Manufacturer’s data has been used wherever possible. The
manufacturer’s data, when used, is specified at 50° C, so in that sense the following results are slightly
conservative. The MTBF values shown below are for a 40° C in an office or telecommunications
environment. Higher temperatures and other environmental stresses (extreme altitude, vibration, salt
water exposure, etc.) lower MTBF values.
® System MTBF (hours) : 156209
Notes: Fans usually shipped with Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH products have 50,000-hour typical operating
life. The above estimates assume no fan, but a passive heat sinking arrangement Estimated RTC battery life
(as opposed to battery failures) is not accounted for in the above figures and need to be considered for
separately.Battery life depends on both temperature and operating conditions. When the Kontron unit has
external power; the only battery drain is from leakage paths.

5 Special Features
5 Special Features
5.1 Watchdog Timer
This feature is implemented in the Winbond 83627HF super I/O. You can configure the Watchdog Timer
(WDT) in BIOS setup to start after a set amount of time after power-on boot. The WDT can also be
controlled by the JIDA32 Library API (Refer to Appendix F: JIDA Standard). The application software
should strobe the WDT to prevent its timeout. Upon timeout, the WDT resets and restarts the system. This
provides a way to recover from program crashes or lockups.
Configuration
You can program the timeout period for the watchdog timer in two ranges:
® 1-second increments from 1 to 255 seconds
® 1-minute increments from 1 to 255 minutes
Contact Kontron Embedded Modules technical support for information on programming and operating
the WDT.

6 Important Information
Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH currently offers different variants of the ETX®-PM. They are the
1100MHz, 1400MHz, 1600MHz, 1800MHz and Celeron 600MHz, 1000MHz and 1300MHz versions. These
variants utilize a smart BIOS that is capable of identifying the CPU that the module is equipped with.
Another feature of the BIOS is its ability to offer the user the option to set the maximum CPU frequency
when using modules equipped with the 1100MHz, 1400MHz, 1600MHz, or 1800MHz. The Celerons
600MHz, 1000MHz or 1300MHz does not support this option.
Note: The Max CPU Frequency setting option is only available on modules that use BIOS version MODBR114.wph or
higher.
6.1 Max CPU Frequency setting

The 1100MHz, 1600MHz, and 1800MHz variants offer the option to set the maximum CPU frequency
using a setting in the BIOS setup located in the Power Menu page.
The different Max CPU frequency settings available are as follows:
1100 MHz 1400 MHz 1600 MHz 1800 MHz
1100 MHz 1300 MHz 1600 MHz 1800 MHz
1000 MHz 1200 MHz 1400 MHz 1600 MHz
900 MHz 1100 MHz 1200 MHz 1400 MHz
800 MHz 1000 MHz 1000 MHz 1200 MHz
600 MHz 900 MHz 800 MHz 1000 MHz
800 MHz 600 MHz 800 MHz
600 MHz 600 MHz
Note: The ETX®-PM Celeron 1300MHz does not support the Max CPU frequency setting option.
The Max CPU Frequency setting option is only available on modules that use BIOS version MODBR114.wph or
higher.
6.2 Max CPU Frequency default settings

Each ETX®-PM module that supports the Max CPU Frequency setting option has a predefined default
frequency setting.
® On the 1100MHz version this default setting is 1100MHz.
® On the 1400MHz version this default setting is 1400MHz.
® On the 1600MHz version the default setting is 1200MHz.
® On the 1800MHz version the default setting is 1400MHz.
6.3 Limitations
With the introduction of higher frequency CPUs new problems arise when considering cooling solutions.
Although these higher frequency CPUs offer greater performance they also produce more heat, which
must be efficiently dissipated from the application.

As mentioned in the previous section each ETX®-PM module that supports the Max CPU Frequency
setting option has a predefined default frequency setting. This is done to ensure that the module can
operate using the standard ETX®-PM heatspreader without reaching the “Critical Trip Point” when used
at room temperature (typical 24°C).
The “Critical Trip Point” is designed to ensure that the module is shut down before any thermal damage
can occur to the CPU. This feature is available on all ETX®-PM modules. If the cooling solution is unable
to maintain a temperature below the “Critical Trip Point” then the module is automatically shut down.
The “Critical Trip Point” feature only works in conjunction with an ATX power supply or power supplies
that utilize the PS_ON signal.
Warning: AT power supplies do not support the “Critical Trip Point” feature.
The ETX®-PM 1600MHz and 1800MHz can also generate extreme heat when operated at their respective
maximum CPU frequencies. Due to this reason Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH has decided to offer
the option for setting “Max CPU Frequency” within the BIOS setup. In order to ensure that both of these
modules operate with the standard ETX®-PM heatspreader Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH has had to
limit the CPU output to a predefined default frequency. The following defaults have been defined.
ETX®-PM 1600MHz 1800MHz
Default 1200MHz 1400MHz
Although these defaults have been defined the user still has the ability to increase the CPU frequency
using the “Max Frequency Setting”. If the user chooses to use the maximum CPU frequency offered by
the module they must ensure that they also use a cooling solution that is capable of dissipating the heat
so that the “Critical Trip Point” is not reached. As mentioned earlier if this safety mechanism is triggered
the module will automatically shut down.
Warning: Selecting frequencies higher then the default may cause the system to reach “Critical Trip
Point” and shutdown if a proper cooling solution is not used. Always ensure that you use a
proper cooling when selecting higher frequency settings.
6.3.1 ETX®-PM Celeron 1500 MHz/1300 MHz/1000 MHz/800 MHz/600 MHz

Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH also offers an ETX®-PM Celeron 1300 MHz/1000 MHz/800 MHz/600
MHz. This module does not support the “Max CPU Frequency” setting option mentioned earlier in this
section but does support the “Critical Trip Point” feature. Due to the fact that this particular CPU does
not support the “Max CPU Frequency” setting option it always operates at maximum frequency and
generates extreme heat. This means that this module is unable to operate using the standard ETX®-PM
heatspreader as its only means of thermal interface and therefore requires a special cooling solution for
use. You must ensure that you design a cooling solution that will allow the excess heat to be dissipated
from the application so that the “Critical Trip Point” is not reached causing the module to shut down.
Additionally the ETX®-PM Celeron 1500 MHz/1300 MHz/1000 MHz/800 MHz/600 MHz does not support
INTEL speedstep. As a result of this the default value for the “Automatic Thermal Monitor Control Circuit”
in the BIOS setup is TM1 instead of TM2 (BIOS version MODBR115.wph or later), which is the default for
the ETX®-PM 1100 MHz, 1400 MHz, 1600 MHz and 1800 MHz. The ETX®-PM Celeron 1500 MHz 1300

MHz/1000 MHz/800 MHz/600 MHz does not support TM2. See sections Thermal Monitor and
Catastrophic Thermal Protection and Power Menu of this document for more information about TM1 and
TM2.
Warning: AT power supplies do not support the “Critical Trip Point” feature.
6.4 Cooling Solutions

With introduction of higher frequency CPUs into the embedded market the need to design more efficient
cooling solutions is now a necessity. These higher frequency CPUs generate much more heat, which must
be removed from the application. One solution that has become more common in the embedded market
is the use of heat pipes when designing a cooling solution. Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH has
designed some cooling solutions that utilize heat pipes in order to perform some tests. Although
Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH designed these cooling solutions strictly for test purposes, and not as
a standard ETX® cooling solution, the knowledge gained from these tests is being made available to
customers in the form of an application note called PM_Thermal_Guidelines_E1xx.pdf. This application
note should be used as a guideline to help evaluate potential thermal designs. It can be found on
Kontron’s web site at http://www.kontron.com on the ETX® product page and in the Tech Support
section.

7 Design Considerations
7.1 Thermal Management
A heat-spreader plate assembly is available from Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH for the ETX®-PM.
The heat-spreader plate on top of this assembly is NOT a heat sink. It works as an ETX®-standard thermal
interface to use with a heat sink or other cooling device.
External cooling must be provided to maintain the heat-spreader plate at proper operating
temperatures. Under worst-case conditions, the cooling mechanism must maintain an ambient air and
heat-spreader plate temperature of 60° C or less.
The aluminum slugs and thermal pads on the underside of the heat-spreader assembly implement
thermal interfaces between the heat spreader plate and the major heat-generating components on the
ETX®-PM. About 80 percent of the power dissipated within the module is conducted to the heat-spreader
plate and can be removed by the cooling solution.
For 1100MHz modules, the heat dissipated into the plate ranges from 18 to 20 watts. Design a cooling
solution to dissipate the heat load on a heat-spreader plate at a minimum of 20 watts to accommodate
all ETX®-PM modules.
You can use many thermal-management solutions with the heat-spreader plates, including active and
passive approaches. The optimum cooling solution varies, depending on the ETX® application and
environmental conditions. Please see the ETX® Design Guide for further information on thermal
management.

8 Important Technology Information

The following technological information is designed to give the reader a better understanding of some of
features of the ETX®-PM. This information can be referenced when reading the System Resources and
BIOS Operation sections that follow. There are also references to additional documentation that will
help to develop a better understanding of the technical information described herein.
8.1 I/O APIC vs 8259 PIC Interrupt mode

The I/O APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller) handles interrupts differently then the
8259 PIC. The following information explains these differences.
8.1.1 Method of interrupts transmission

The I/O APIC transmits interrupts through the system bus and interrupts are handled without the needs
for the processor to run an interrupt acknowledge cycle.
8.1.2 Interrupt priority

The priority of interrupts in the I/O APIC is independent of the interrupt number.
8.1.3 More interrupts

The I/O APIC in the chipset of the ETX®-PM supports a total of 24 interrupts.
The APIC is not supported by all operating systems. Only Windows Xp supports APIC. The APIC mode must
be enabled in the BIOS setup before the OS installation. APIC only works in ACPI mode.
For more information see chapter 8 of the IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer’s Manual, Volume
3.
Note: Enable the APIC mode if your OS supports it.
8.2 Native vs. compatible IDE mode

Windows XP SP1 and Windows Server 2003 will switch a native-mode-capable ATA controller from
compatible to native mode if the BIOS indicates that the controller can be switched, the controller
supports native mode and the appropriate registry entry is set. You must add a DWORD VALUE called
EnableNativeModeATA under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/PnP/Pci/ and set 1 as the value.
8.2.1 Compatible Mode

The ATA controller emulates a legacy IDE controller, which is a non-standard extension of the ISA-based
IDE controller. In compatible mode, the controller requires two ISA IRQs (14 and 15) that cannot be
shared with other devices.

8.2.2 Native Mode

The ATA controller acts as a true PCI device that does not require dedicated legacy resources and can be
configured anywhere in the system. ATA controllers running in native mode use their PCI interrupt for
both channels and can share this interrupt pin with other devices in the system, like any other PCI
device.
By requiring only one shareable interrupt instead of two non-shareable ones, native-mode controllers
significantly decrease the likelihood that a user will install a device that cannot work because no
interrupts are available.
Enable Native IDE mode if your OS supports it.
Note: For more information see: BIOS Settings for Native-Mode-Capable ATA Controllers
8.3 Thermal Monitor and Catastrophic Thermal Protection

The Thermal Monitor within the Pentium M processor helps to control the processor temperature by
activating the TCC (Thermal Control Circuit) when the processor silicon reaches its maximum operating
temperature. The temperature at which the Intel Thermal Monitor activates the TCC is not user-
configurable and is not software visible.
The Thermal Monitor controls the processor temperature by modulating (starting and stopping) the CPU
core clocks at a 50% duty cycle (TM1) or by initiating an Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology transition
(TM2) when the processor silicon reaches its maximum operating temperature (selectable in setup).
Note: TM2 is the recommended mode for the Intel Pentium M processor.
Not supported on the ETX®-PM Celeron 0.6 GHz, 0.8 GHz, 1.0 GHz, 1.3GHz and 1.5 GHz.
Thermal Monitor supports two modes to activate the TCC: Automatic and On-Demand mode. The Intel
Thermal Monitor Automatic Mode must be enabled via BIOS for the processor to be operating within
specification.
Automatic mode does not require any additional hardware, software drivers, or interrupt handling
routines.
Note: With a properly designed thermal solution, the TCC is only active for very short periods, hence processor
performance impact is expected to be so minor that it would not be detectable.
For more details see chapter 5.1.2 of the Intel Pentium M Processor Datasheet.
The Intel Pentium M processor supports the THERMTRIP# signal for catastrophic thermal protection.
In the event of a catastrophic cooling failure, the processor will automatically shut down when the
silicon has reached a temperature of approximately 125°C. At this point the system BUS signal
THERMTRIP# will go active.
THERMTRIP# activation is independent of processor activity and does not generate any bus cycles.

8.3.1 Summary
Thermal Control Circuit reduces performance when the processor reaches its max. operating temperature
(100°C). THERMTRIP# shuts down the system in case of catastrophic cooling failure.
8.4 Processor Performance Control

The Pentium M processor can run in different performance states (multiple frequency/voltage operating
points). The CPU performance can be altered while the computer is functioning. This allows the
processor to run at different core frequencies and voltages depending on CPU thermal state and OS
policy.
Windows XP includes built-in processor performance control to operate the processor more efficiently
when it is not fully utilized. Win2k, WinME and Win9x do not support processor performance control.
Special software is required for Oses not capable of processor performance control.
In Windows, the processor performance control policy is linked to the Power Scheme setting in the
control panel power option applet.
Note: Windows always runs at the highest performance state when the “Home/Office” or “Always On” power
scheme is selected.
For a more detailed information about processor performance control, see:
Chapter 8 of the ACPI Specification Revision 2.0c available at www.acpi.info Windows platform design note
and at: Windows Native Processor Performance Control
8.5 Thermal Management

ACPI allows the OS to play a role in the thermal management of the system. With the OS in control of the
operating environment, cooling decisions can be made based on the application load on the CPU and the
thermal heuristics of the system.
The ACPI thermal solution on ETX®-PM supports three cooling policies:
Active Cooling
The OS is turning the fan on/off. Active cooling devices typically consume power and produce noise, but
are able to cool a thermal zone without limiting system performance. The active cooling trip point
declares the temperature threshold the OS uses to decide when to start/stop active cooling devices. See
section ETX®-PM onboard Fan connector for more information about the ETX®-PM onboard Fan control.
Passive Cooling
The OS reduces the power consumption of the processor by throttling the processor clock to reduce the
temperature of the thermal zone. Passive cooling devices (processor) produce no noise. The passive
cooling trip point declares the temperature threshold where the OS will start or stop passive cooling.
Critical Trip Point

The OS performs an orderly, but critical, shutdown of the system when the temperature reaches the
critical trip point.

8.6 ETX®-PM onboard Fan connector

This section describes how to connect a fan to the connector located directly on the ETX®-PM. With
certain BIOS-settings it is possible to control the fan depending on the Active Trip Point temperature.
The fan switches on/off depending on the adjusted Active Trip Point temperature. In order for this
feature to function properly an ACPI compliant OS is necessary.
Note: The ETX® PM BIOS supports only turning the onboard FAN ON/OFF. For additional support 3rd party software
is necessary. Schematics of Fan control

Sense (Tacho-pulse) = 4 Pulses per turn
Note: The 5 V output is not short circuit proof. The user has to ensure that the circuit is protected externally, for
example by a fuse on the backplane.
8.7 Processor Clock Throttling

The ACPI OS assesses the optimum CPU performance change necessary to lower the temperature using
the following equation:
ΔP[%] = TC1(Tn-Tn-1) + TC2(Tn-Tt)
ΔP is the performance delta, Tt is the target temperature = passive cooling trip point. The two
coefficients TC1 and TC2 and the sampling period TSP are hardware dependent constants the end user
must supply (setup options section ACPI Control Submenu).

It’s up to the end user to set the cooling preference of the system by setting the appropriate trip points
in the BIOS setup.
Note: See chapter 12 of the ACPI specification (www.acpi.info) for more details.

8.8 ACPI Suspend Modes and Resume Events

The ETX®-PM, supports the S1 (POS=Power On Suspend) state. S3 (=Save to Ram) is supported on
modules from CE-Rev. 3.X.X or later and BIOS Rev. MODBR12x or later.
S4 (=Save to Disk) is not supported by the BIOS (S4_BIOS) but it is supported by the following operating
systems:
® WinME
® Win2k
® WinXP (S4_OS=Hibernate)
The following resumes are supported:
Resume Event S1 S3 hot S3 cold S5
Power Button Yes Yes Yes Yes
WakeOnLAN Yes Yes Yes Yes
USB Yes Yes Yes* No
PS2 Yes No No No
Note: S3 hot: 5VSB on and 5V switched to 5V

S3 cold: 5VSB on and 5V switched to 5VSB
*Not supported on ETX Eval Backplane, works only if the USB Device is supplied from 5VSB
8.9 USB 2.0 (EHCI) Host Controller Support

The EHCI host controller shares the 6 USB ports with the 3 UHCI host controllers. Integrated into the
EHC functionality is a port-routing logic, which performs the mixing between the UHCI and EHCI host
controllers. If a device is connected that is not capable of USB2.0’s high-speed signaling protocol, or if
the EHCI software drivers are not present, than the UHCI controller owns the ports.

10.2 Setup Guide

The PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility changes system behavior by modifying the BIOS configuration. The setup
program uses a number of menus to make changes and turn features on or off.
The BIOS setup menus documented in this section represent those found in most models of the ETX®-
PM. The BIOS Setup for specific models can differ slightly.
Note: Selecting incorrect values may cause system boot failure. Load setup default values to recover by pressing
<F9>. It might also be necessary to use the “reset configuration data” option in the BIOS setup and set it to
“yes”. In certain circumstances this may also help to recover from system boot failure or a resource conflict.

10.10 Updating or Restoring BIOS

Phoenix Phlash16 allows you to update or restore the BIOS with a newer version or restore a corrupt
BIOS by using a floppy disk without having to install a new ROM chip.
BIOS Update:
® Download the compressed BIOS File from Kontron EMD CustomerSection and unzip all
files on a DOS bootable media like Floppy Disk or USB stick. Execute the batch file
flash.bat to update the BIOS.
File Purpose
BIOW.WPH Actual BIOS image to be programmed into Flash ROM
PHLASH16.EXE Phoenix DOS tool to program the Flash ROM.
Flash.bat Batch File with necessary flash command. Execute this file to update the BIOS.
BIOS Crisis Recovery:

® Get the Phoenix Phlash16 compressed file, CRDXXXX.ZIP, from the Kontron website.
It contains the following files:
File Purpose
MAKEBOOT.EXE Creates the custom boot sector on the Crisis Recovery Diskette.
CRISBOOT.BIN Serves as the Crisis Recovery boot sector code.
MINIDOS.SYS Allows the system to boot in Crisis Recovery Mode.
PHLASH16.EXE Programs the Flash ROM.
WINCRISIS.EXE Creates the Crisis Recovery Diskette from Windows.
WINCRISIS.HLP Serves as the help file of WINCRISES.EXE.
® To install Phoenix Phlash16 on a hard disk, unzip the content of CRDXXXX.ZIP into a
local directory such as C:\PHLASH.
® Download the BIOS File from Kontron EMD CustomerSection and copy the file
BIOS.WPH into same directory. BIOS.WPH is a file that contains the 1MB BIOS binary
and flash interface code required by Phlash16.EXE.
Note: Crisis Recovery requires either a floppy disk connected to the LPT interface (external floppy drive_1) or an
USB floppy drive.
® To create a Crisis Recovery Diskette, insert a blank diskette into Drive A: or B: and
execute WINCRISIS.EXE. This copies four files onto the Crisis Recovery Diskette.
File Purpose
MINIDOS.SYS Allows the system to boot in Crisis Recovery Mode.
PHLASH16.EXE Programs the Flash ROM.
BIOS.WPH Serves as the BIOS image to be programmed into Flash ROM.
® Connect a floppy drive with crisis disk to onboard floppy and the crisis recovery
dongle to COM1. Power on System to recover BIOS.
For more details about Crisis Recovery refer to Kontron Application Note 'KEMAP045' 'Phoenix BIOS
Update'

10 BIOS Operation
10.11 Preventing Problems When Updating or Restoring BIOS

Updating the BIOS represents a potential hazard. Power failures or fluctuations that may occur during
updating the Flash ROM can damage the BIOS code, making the system unbootable.
To prevent this potential hazard, many systems come with a boot-block Flash ROM. The boot-block
region contains a fail-safe recovery routine. If the boot-block code finds a corrupted BIOS (checksum
fails), it boots into the crisis recovery mode and loads a BIOS image from a crisis diskette (see above).
Additionally, the end user can insert an update key into the serial port (COM1 only) to force initiating
the recovery routine for the boot block.

11 Appendix F: JIDA Standard
11 Appendix F: JIDA Standard

Every board with an on-board BIOS extension supports the following function calls, which supply
information about the board. Jumptec Intelligent Device Architecture (JIDA) functions are called via
Interrupt 15h. Functions include:
® AH=Eah
® AL=function number
® DX=4648h (security word)
® CL=board number (starting with 1)
The interrupt returns a CL≠0 if a board with the number specified in CL does not exist. CL will equal 0 if
the board number exists. In this case, the content of DX determines if the operation was successful.
DX=6B6Fh indicates success; other values indicate an error.
11.1 JIDA Information

To obtain information about boards that follow the JIDA standard, use the following procedure.
® Call Get BIOS ID with CL=1.
The name of the first device installed will be returned.
If you see the result Board exists (CL=0), increment CL, and call Get BIOS ID again.
® Repeat until you see Board not present (CL≠0).
You now know the names of all boards within your system that follow the JIDA
standard.
® You can find out more information about a specific board by calling the appropriate
inquiry function with the board’s number in CL.
Note: Association between board and board number may change because of configuration changes. Do not rely on
any association between board and board number. Always use the procedure described above to determine
the association between board and board number.
Refer to the JIDA manual in the jidai1xx.zip folder, which is available from the Kontron Embedded
Modules GmbH Web site, for further information on implementing and using JIDA calls with C sample
code.
