Page 125 ICE-945GSE COM Express Type 2 Module Appendix C C Watchdog Timer Page 126 ICE-945GSE COM Express Type 2 Module NOTE: The following discussion applies to DOS environment. IEI support is contacted or the IEI website visited for specific drivers for more sophisticated operating systems, e.g., Windows and Linux. The Watchdog Timer is provided to ensure that standalone systems can always recover from catastrophic conditions that cause the CPU to crash. This condition may have occurred by external EMIs or a software bug. When the CPU stops working correctly, Watchdog Timer either performs a hardware reset (cold boot) or a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) to bring the system back to a known state. A BIOS function call (INT 15H) is used to control the Watchdog Timer. INT 15H: AH – 6FH Sub-function: AL – 2: Sets the Watchdog Timer’s period. BL: Time-out value (Its unit-second is dependent on the item “Watchdog Timer unit select” in CMOS setup). Table C-1: AH-6FH Sub-function Call sub-function 2 to set the time-out period of Watchdog Timer first. If the time-out value is not zero, the Watchdog Timer starts counting down. When the timer value reaches zero, the system resets. To ensure that this reset condition does not occur, calling sub-function 2 must periodically refresh the Watchdog Timer. However, the watchdog timer is disabled if the time-out value is set to zero. A tolerance of at least 10% must be maintained to avoid unknown routines within the operating system (DOS), such as disk I/O that can be very time-consuming. Page 127 ICE-945GSE COM Express Type 2 Module NOTE: When exiting a program it is necessary to disable the Watchdog Timer, otherwise the system resets.
