Embedded Controller 3.1 AEC-6612 Rev. B System Test and Initialization These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines encounter an error during the tests, you will either hear a few short beeps or see an error message on the screen. There are two kinds of errors: fatal and non-fatal. The system can usually continue the boot up sequence with non-fatal errors.
Embedded Controller 3.2 AEC-6612 Rev. B AMI BIOS Setup AMI BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off. Entering Setup Power on the computer and press or immediately. This will allow you to enter Setup. Main Set the date, use tab to switch between date elements.

Embedded Controller AEC-6612 Rev. B A.1 Programming AEC-6612 Rev.B utilizes W83627DHG-P chipset as its watchdog timer controller. Below are the procedures to complete its configuration and the AAEON intial watchdog timer program is also attached based on which you can develop customized program to fit your application.
Embedded Controller AEC-6612 Rev. B (3) Exit the W83627DHG config Mode. Undesired result may occur if the config Mode is not exited normally. (1) Enter the W83627DHG config Mode To enter the W83627DHG config Mode, two special I/O write operations are to be performed during Wait for Key state. To ensure the initial state of the key-check logic, it is necessary to perform two write operations to the Special Address port (2EH).
