Chapter 2 INSTALLING THE UTILITYMODULE
Since the utilityModule uses a PC/104 stackthrough bus, the only hardware installation you will do
is placing the module to the PC/104 stack. To do this, you will connect the PC/104 bus connector
with the matching connector of another module.
Recommended Procedure
We recommend you follow the procedure below to ensure that stacking of the modules does not
damage connectors or electronics.
•
Turn off power to the PC/104 system or stack.
•
Select and install standoffs to properly position the utilityModule on the PC/104 stack.
•
Touch a grounded metal part of the stack to discharge any buildup of static electricity.
•
Remove the utilityModule from its anti-static bag.
•
Check that keying pins in the PC/104 bus connector are properly positioned.
•
Check the stacking order: make sure an XT bus card will not be placed between two AT bus
cards, or it will interrupt the AT bus signals.
•
Hold the utilityModule by its edges and orient it so the bus connector pins line up with the
matching connector on the stack.
•
Gently and evenly press the utilityModule onto the PC/104 stack.
CAUTION: Do not force the module onto the stack! Wiggling the module or applying too much
force may damage it. If the module does not readily press into place, remove it, check
for bent pins or out-of-place keying pins, and try again.
Connecting the utilityModule
The following sections describe connectors of the utilityModule.
Finding Pin 1 of Connectors
A white area silk-screened on the PC board indicates pin 1 of connectors. A square solder pad
visible on the bottom of the PC board also indicates it.

Two locations on the bus have mechanical keying pins to help prevent misconnection
of the PC/104 bus. These keying pins are a part of the PC/104 standard, and we
strongly recommend you leave them in place.
If you have other modules without keying pins, we suggest you modify them to
include keying.
First COM port, CN3
The first serial port is implemented on connector CN3. It can be configured as a PC compatible
full duplex RS232 port or as half- or full duplex RS422 or RS485 through mode jumper JP8. The
I/O address is configurable in respect to SW1 address table, and corresponding interrupt is also
selectable through jumper JP1 to be IRQ3, IRQ4, IRQ5, IR6, IRQ7, IRQ9, IRQ10, IRQ11, IRQ12,
IRQ14 and IRQ15. But you need to make sure that there are no resource conflicts on the I/O base
address and interrupt line you choose.
The serial port is implemented with a 16C550-compatible UART (Universal Asynchronous
Receiver/Transmitter). This UART is capable of baud rates up to 1.5 M with the 24 MHz clock
input and 115.2K with the 24 MHz / 13 clock input.

RS422 or RS485 Serial Port
You can change the mode switch to set the first port as RS422 or RS485. In this case, you must
connect CN3 to an RS422 or RS485 compatible device.
When using RS422 or RS485 mode, you can use the port in either half-duplex (two-wire) or fullduplex (four-wire) configurations. For half-duplex (2-wire) operation, you must connect RXD+ to
TDX+, and connect RXD- to TXD-.
Note! Two 120-ohm termination resistors are provided on the utilityModule. Termination is
usually necessary on all RS-422 receivers and at the ends of the RS-485 bus. If the
termination resistor is required, it can be enabled by closing jumper JP8 5-6 for RxD
and/or 7-8 CTS.

Notes on using RS422 or RS485 Modes
When using the serial port in RS422 or RS485 mode, the serial receiver is always enabled,
however the serial transmitter is enabled and disabled under software control in the following two ways.
By default, the transmitter is enabled by manipulating the Request To Send (RTS*) signal of the
serial port controller. This signal is controlled by writing bit 1 of the Modem Control Register (MCR) as
follows:
•
•
If MCR bit 1 = 1, then RTS* = 0, and serial transmitter is disabled
If MCR bit 1 = 0, then RTS* = 1, and serial transmitter is enabled
For more information on the serial port registers, including the MCR, please refer to a standard PC-AT
hardware reference for the 16C550 UART, or refer to RTDUSA application note ANC102 at
http://www.rtdusa.com
The other way to enable the serial transmitter is to write 1 to its corresponding bit of the
utilityModule’s internal common register 4, which sets the serial transmitter in “always on” mode. Please
refer to Internal Common Register Section for detail.
Second COM port, CN4
Please refer to the previous section on the first COM port CN3 for the description on CN4.
Third COM port, CN5
Please refer to the previous section on the first COM port CN3 for the description on CN5.
Fourth COM port, CN6
Please refer to the previous section on the first COM port CN3 for the description on CN6.

CM312 common registers
The utilityModule includes 5 common registers to provide additional information and software
control that is not required for normal COM port operation, but may be helpful in determining the
status of the board and configuring of the board. The following two sections give the location and
definition of the common registers.
Base Address of Common Registers
The utilityModule common registers are located 800h above the address of the first enabled COM
port. That is, assuming that “X” in hex is the first enabled COM port base address, which can be
any of the valid addresses listed in the Com Port Address Table, the base address for the common
registers is “Y” in hex, then,
Y = X + 800h
For example, if the switches of SW4 are set all DOWN position which makes CN3 = 3E8h, CN4 =
2E8h, CN5 = 280h and CN6 = 288h, then according to the algorithm, the common registers base
address (BA) will be the following depending the setting of enable switch SW2 for each serial
port,
If CN3 is enabled then,
BA = 3E8h + 800h = BE8h
Else if CN3 is disabled AND CN4 is enabled then,
BA = 2E8h + 800h = AE8h
Else if CN3 and CN4 are disabled AND CN5 is enabled then,
BA = 280h + 800h = A80h
Else if CN3, CN4 and CN5 are disabled AND CN4 is enabled then,
BA = 288h + 800h = A88 A80h
Else if CN3, CN4, CN5 and CN6 are disabled then,
Common Registers are disabled

Chapter 3 USING THE UTILITYMODULE
SERAIL PORTS
The utilityModule features an EXAR quad UART 16C550 compatible 16C554D part.
EXAR Documentation
Due to the complexity of the EXAR serial chip, it is impossible for us to reproduce all
programming information in this manual. If you will be doing in-depth programming of the serial
port controller, we suggest you obtain the 16C554D datasheet from the manufacturer.
The 16C554D datasheet is available on-line in electronic format as an Adobe Acrobat (. PDF) file
on the EXAR website:

1.5 Mbps support
With 24 MHz clock input selected (JP5, 1-2), the utilityModule is capable of provide data rates up
to 1.5 Mbps in RS422/RS485 mode. Since RS-232 standard restricts data rate to 20 Kbps, you
might experience failure at higher data rate above 252 Kbps with 24 MHz clock select for the
utilityModule.
CM312 Quad Serial utilityModule
23
RTD Embedded Technologies, Inc.
Interrupt Sharing
Interrupt sharing is a mechanism which allows different devices sharing same active high IRQ lines
on the PC/104 bus, given that there is a interrupt sharing circuit associated with each device. The
utilityModule provides interrupt-sharing circuits for all the serial ports; thus it allows sharing of
one IRQ line among the serial ports in the utilityModule. However, user needs to be careful to
share an IRQ line with devices in the system elsewhere, and be sure that other devices also share
their IRQ lines as well. For instance, users should be aware of that the IRQ3/IRQ4 associated with
serial port J3/J4 on RTDUSA cpuModule are not shareable. And if the utilityModule is in the
same system with RTDUSA cpuModule, be advised not to use/share IRQ3/IRQ4 for the
utilityModule unless you have serial ports on the cpuModule disabled.
Interrupt sharing in a PC/104 system requires one 1K pull-down resistor per IRQ line for all the
devices that share the IRQ. Installing a G jumper in the utilityModule will pull its associated IRQ
line down with 1K resistor. That is, for example, if IRQn is shared among four serial ports on the
utilityModule, only one G jumper needs to be installed for IRQn line. If more than one G jumper
are installed, the pull-down on IRQn line will be much stronger that expected 1K ohm, which will
prevent interrupt controller from functioning correctly.
Let consider two cases to demonstrate the concepts for the above discussion. Let us assume that
IRQ5 and IRQ10 are not used and driven by other devices in the system. For the first case, IRQ10
line is shared among the four serial ports and for the second case IRQ5 is shared for port 1 and
port 2, while IRQ10 is shared among port 3 and port 4.
The following two tables listed the interrupt jumper settings for each case respectively.

Chapter 4 USING THE UTILITYMODULE
ETHERNET PORTS
Using the utilityModule is straightforward, and essentially identical to any other Ethernet card.
When CM312 module is powered on, data in the EEPROM on board is transferred to Ethernet
controller’s internal configuration registers. The data in the EEPROM contains information
configuration such as the base address of the card, the active interrupt line on the PC/104 bus for
Ethernet access, the media type in use, etc. The factory default setting of the board is at I/O
address 0x320 and IRQ 5. And if there is a resource conflicting, you need to change your setting
on CM312 with the other I/O boards removed temporally by executing CM312SET program as
described in the later chapter.
The following sections describe:

Power Consumption
Diagnostic LEDs
If CN8, the RJ45 connector, has two LEDs that are used to indicate status and provide some
diagnostic information in case of malfunctions.
Name
COL
LNK
Meaning
Collision Detected
Link established (UTP)
Normal State
Off
On (10Base-T only)
COL LED
The LED is normally off, and flashes when the module detects a collision on the network.
Collisions may be due to low-quality cable, which allows crosstalk between the transmit and
receive pairs, miswiring, or a malfunctioning device on the network.
LNK LED
The LED is turned on when a valid 10Base-T link is detected by the chipset. It is only active when
using the 10Base-T UTP connection with link integrity checking enabled. If it is off, the UTP
wiring may be broken or incorrect, link integrity checking may be disabled, or you may be using
the 10Base-2 or AUI interface.
Boot ROM Socket
In some applications, you may wish to use the boot ROM socket of the utilityModule to boot a
connected cpuModule from a remote server.
The socket will accomodate a 32 pin PLCC EPROM or Flash memory devices of size 8k, 16k,
32k, or 64k bytes. The device must be a byte-wide architecture.
The boot ROM feature can be enabled using the CM312SET program described on page 28.

Client Remote Boot Examples
Software installation
There is no installation program for the supplied software. We suggest you create a directory
named /CM312 on your target drive, and copy all files and subdirectories from the supplied floppy
disk into that directory.
The CM312SET Program
The /TOOLS directory of the supplied floppy disk contains the setup and diagnostic utility,
CM312SET.EXE.
Using CM312SET
Since CM312 utility module is a jumperless I/O board, complete software configurable with all its
configuration data stored in EEPROM, CM202SET is a utility program that let you view or change
the existing setting of the board.
When you run the CM312SET program, the utility looks at all possible I/O addresses.
If no module is found or if there is a conflicting, the utility quits with a message.
When the module is found and correctly operating, the utility displays lines indicating the active
I/O address, the interrupt, the Media Type in use, the compatibility mode selected (NE2000 or
NE1000), and the MAC address of the board.
You can use the program to change settings for I/O address, Interrupt, Media Type, Remote Boot
Prom, and compatibility mode and save your selection either into the configuration registers or to
both registers and EEPROM. Saving to registers only will allow you to perform test with the
settings in your system, but the settings will be lost when power off. In order to change the setting
for future operation, you need to save your changes to both registers and EEPROM. These settings
then are recalled from EEPROM whenever the module is reinitialized.
NE1000 Mode
NE1000 mode can be used to allow the utilityModule to operate with an 8-bit (XT) cpuModule. In
NE1000 mode, only IRQ2, IRQ3, IRQ4, IRQ5 are available. You cannot use IRQ10, IRQ11,
IRQ12, IRQ15 with an 8-bit system bus.

Remote Boot Examples
The following examples illustrate configuration of the module for use in a remote boot application.
RPL from a WindowsNT server 3.5
1. Install RPL Service on your WindowsNT Server
2. Copy DOS 6.22 files in WINNT35\RPL\RPLFILES\BINFILES\DOS622
3. Copy NE2000.DOS in WINNT35\RPL\BBLOCKS\NDIS;
remember not to flag the files IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS as Hidden or System.
4. From a DOS window run RPLCMD
5. add Vendor:
VendorName=00E0C7
comment=RTDUSA NE2000
6. add boot (b - a):
BootName= DOS
VendorName=00D081
BBCFile=BBLOCK\NETBEUI\NE2000\DOSBB.CNF
7. Restart WindowsNT and start RPL Service.
Now the cpuModule used with the utilityModule can remotely boot DOS from WindowsNT Server

Ethernet References
To learn more about Ethernet, you might start with:
Charles Spurgeon’s Ethernet Website:
http:wwwhost.ots.utexas.edu/ethernet/ethernet-home.html
This site provides thorough overviews of 10 Mbps and faster Ethernet.
Types of Ethernet
There are three standard types of 10 Megabit Ethernet, of which 10Base-T is by far the most
common, and 10Base-5 is by far the least common.

Note: Although 8-conductor telephone wire is commonly used for 10Base-T connections, this type
wire is not the correct 100 ohm UTP, as it does not use twisted-pairs. Using such wire may cause
excessive crosstalk, resulting in a large number of collisions and poor network performance.
