Functions

Overview of Functions

Communicates with the main CPU via UART. The main functions are shown below.

  • Power SW monitoring
  • Initialization SW monitoring
  • Power control
  • Temperature measurement
  • Buzzer control
  • Watchdog function (However, watchdog function is disabled on u-boot)
  • LAN ACT monitoring
  • LED display
  • Reset sequence generation
  • LED Illumination

UART Communication with Main CPU

Transmission System

UART Basic Settings

  • Transmission speed: 38400bps
  • Data bit: 8bit
  • Parity: Even
  • Stop bit: 1 bit or more

Communication with Main CPU

  • Basic communication is performed by the transmission of commands, data, and parity.
  • When switches etc are pressed, a level interrupt occurs. The interrupt is cleared when reporting to the CPU is completed.
  • If many frame errors occur, regulate the guard time on the main CPU.

Protocol

Preamble

The receive buffer is completely cleared by sending FF 35 times.

System Watchdog

Command

0×01 First operand read 0×80 when setting
0×35 Second operand

Data

Set the time until the power goes OFF for forced OFF. You can set up to 255 seconds.

However, setting to 0 will cause the system watchdog to stop and not operate.

If read is performed, the time for the watchdog to operate is displayed.

0×FF – (time to shutdown) = Setting value

Temperature Read

Command

0×80 First Operand (read only)

Data

The temperature on the board can be read.

The read data is signed char.

If SW or INITSW is pressed, an interrupt occurs. You can research the cause of an

interrupt by reading the SW.

Reading this resistor clears the interrupt.

  • If the SW is released at the point when read is started, the value returns to 1. Therefore,

measure the pressed time on the CPU to judge.
