All configured parameters are stored in a flash chip to save the setup information whenever the power is turned off. This chapter provides users with detailed description about how to set up basic system configuration through the AMI BIOS setup utility. 4.1 Starting To enter the setup screens, follow the steps below: 1. 2. Turn on the computer and press the <Del> key immediately. After you press the <Del> key, the main BIOS setup menu displays. You can access the other setup screens from the main BIOS setup menu, such as the Advanced and Chipset menus. If your computer cannot boot after making and saving system changes with BIOS setup, you can restore BIOS optimal defaults by setting JP1 (see section 2.4.1). Note It is strongly recommended that you should avoid changing the chipset’s defaults. Both AMI and your system manufacturer have carefully set up these defaults that provide the best performance and reliability. 4.2 Navigation Keys The BIOS setup/utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of the BIOS setup utility hot keys can be used at any time during the setup navigation process. These keys include <F1>, <F2>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, and so on. Some of the navigation keys differ from one screen to another. Note AMI BIOS Setup Utility 33 PICO880 Pico-ITX Board Hot Keys Description Left/Right The Left and Right <Arrow> keys allow you to select a setup screen.

Some embedded systems are not watched by human for 24 hours. It is usually too slow to wait for someone to reboot when computer hangs. The systems need to be able to reset automatically when things go wrong. The watchdog timer gives us solution. The watchdog timer is a counter that triggers a system reset when it counts down to zero from a preset value. The software starts counter with an initial value and must reset it periodically. If the counter ever reaches zero which means the software has crashed, the system will reboot. B.2 How to Use Watchdog Timer The I/O port base addresses of watchdog timer are 2E (hex) and 2F (hex). The 2E (hex) and 2F (hex) are address and data port respectively. Assume that program A is put in a loop that must execute at least once every 10ms. Initialize watchdog timer with a value bigger than 10ms. If the software has no problems; watchdog timer will never expire because software will always restart the counter before it reaches zero.
