- [ 9. SETUP System]
- EMBEDDED BIOS SETUP SYSTEM
- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- Embedded BIOS has an OEM-configurable SETUP screen system that works on
- the standard PC/AT keyboard and screen, or can be redirected over a COM
- port for in-the field system installation and even problem diagnosis.
-
- The top-level SETUP menu can be configured to be very simple or as full-
- featured as necessary by the OEM. These screens are all optional:
-
- * BASIC CMOS SETUP
- * ADVANCED CMOS SETUP
- * CHIPSET CONFIGURATION
- * ROM SHADOWING
- * ADVANCED POWER MANAGEMENT
- * PASSWORD CONFIGURATION
- * REMOTE (RS-232) MANUFACTURING DIAGNOSTICS
- * STANDARD SYSTEM/BURN-IN DIAGNOSTICS
- * RESIDENT DEBUGGER/MONITOR ACCESS
-
- The STANDARD DIAGNOSTICS SCREEN is a powerful, full-screen system test
- and burn-in facility that allows the user to select any of the following
- tests to run once, or continually, to check operation of the configured
- BIOS on your new hardware:
-
- CPU Core NPX Core Protected Mode
- Mem <1MB Mem >1MB DMA Controllers
- Interrupt Controllers Real-Time Clock Keyboard Controller
- Video Controller/RAM A20 Gate Logic Timer Controller
- CMOS RAM & Battery UARTs (COM ports) Flash Read/Write/Update
- Floppy Disk I/O IDE/ATA Disk I/O ROM Disk I/O
- RAM Disk I/O Flash Disk I/O Remote Disk I/O
- Video Svc (INT 10h) Equip Svc (INT 11h) Low Mem Svc (INT 12h)
- Disk Svc (INT 13h) Serial Svc (INT 14h) System Svc (INT 15h)
- Keyboard Svc (INT 16h) LPT Svc (INT 17h) Time/Date Svc (INT 1ah)
- Timer Tick (INT 1ch) Continuous Testing Begin Testing
-
- No other BIOS on the market provides the same low-level system testing
- facility that is so essential to the development of embedded consumer
- electronics products. And don't forget-- these tests can run with or
- without a keyboard and screen, so they'll run on a phone, PDA, or other
- hand-held device.
