6 Embedded Functions All embedded board functions on ADLINK’s Computer on Modules are supported at the operating system level using the ADLINK Intelligent Device Interface (AIDI) library. The AIDI API programming interface is compatible and identical across all ADLINK Computer on Modules and all supported operating systems. The AIDI library includes a demo program to demonstrate the library’s functionallity. 6.
6.2 GPIO GPIO library support is limited to GPIO signals that originate from the Computer on Module and extended to the carrier board. COM Express modules support 4 GPO and 4 GPI signals. Some of ADLINK’s COM Express boards can configure all 8 ports for GPI or GPO use. GPIO signals can be monitored and controlled by using the ADLINK Intelligent Device Interface (AIDI) library that is compatible and identical across all ADLINK COM Express modules and all supported operating systems.
6.3 Hardware Monitoring To ensure system health of your embedded system ADLINK’s COM Express modules come with built in support for monitoring and control of CPU and system temperatures, fan speed and critical module voltage levels. The AIDI Library provides simple APIs at the application level to support these functions and adds alarm functions when voltage or temperature levels exceeds the upper or lower limit set by the user.

Checkpoints and Beep Codes Definition A checkpoint is either a byte or word value output to I/O port 80h.
9.1 Bootblock Initialization Code Checkpoints The Bootblock initialization code sets up the chipset, memory and other components before system memory is available. The following table describes the type of checkpoints that may occur during the bootblock initialization portion of the BIOS: Checkpoints may differ between different platforms based on system configuration. Checkpoints may change due to vendor requirements, system chipset or option ROMs from add-in PCI devices.
9.2 Bootblock Recovery Code Checkpoints The Bootblock recovery code gets control when the BIOS determines that a BIOS recovery needs to occur because the user has forced the update or the BIOS checksum is corrupt. The following table describes the type of checkpoints that may occur during the Bootblock recovery portion of the BIOS: Checkpoints may differ between different platforms based on system configuration.
9.3 POST Code Checkpoints The POST code checkpoints are the largest set of checkpoints during the BIOS preboot process. The following table describes the type of checkpoints that may occur during the POST portion of the BIOS: Checkpoints may differ between different platforms based on system configuration. Checkpoints may change due to vendor requirements, system chipset or option ROMs From add-in PCI devices. Checkpoint Description 03 Disable NMI, Parity, video for EGA, and DMA controllers.
POST Code Checkpoints cont’d: Checkpoint Description 31 Allocate memory for ADM module and uncompress it. Give control to ADM module for initialization. Initialize language and font modules for ADM. Activate ADM module. Initializes the silent boot module. Set the window for displaying text information. Displaying sign-on message, CPU information, setup key message, and any OEM specific information. Initializes different devices through DIM.
9.4 OEM POST Error Checkpoints Checkpoints from the range 61h to 70h are reserved for chipset vendors & system manufacturers. The error associated with this value may be different from one platform to the next. 9.5 DIM Code Checkpoints The Device Initialization Manager (DIM) gets control at various times during BIOS POST to initialize different system busses.
HIGH BYTE XY The upper nibble ‘X’ indicates the function number that is being executed. ‘X’ can be from 0 to 7. 0 = func#0, disable all devices on the BUS concerned. 1 = func#1, static devices initialization on the BUS concerned. 2 = func#2, output device initialization on the BUS concerned. 3 = func#3, input device initialization on the BUS concerned. 4 = func#4, IPL device initialization on the BUS concerned. 5 = func#5, general device initialization on the BUS concerned.
9.7 9.8 Boot Block Beep Codes No. of Beeps Description 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Insert diskette in floppy drive A: ‘AMIBOOT.ROM’ file not found in root directory of diskette in A: Base Memory error Flash Programming successful Floppy read error Keyboard controller BAT command failed No Flash EPROM detected Floppy controller failure Boot Block BIOS checksum error Flash Erase error Flash Program error ‘AMIBOOT.
9.9 Troubleshooting POST BIOS Beep Codes No. of Beeps Description 1, 2 or 3 4-7, 9-11 Reseat the memory, or replace with known good modules. Fatal error indicating a serious problem with the system. Consult your system manufacturer. Before declaring the motherboard beyond all hope, eliminate the possibility of interference by a malfunctioning add-in card. Remove all expansion cards except the video adapter.
