2 Software Specifications2.1 Preface

The software engineering specification is a deployment from product marketing specification. It should outline major

tasks to be implemented in a specific model. For any model which has been defined from product marketing division,

there should have a product marketing specification comes out.

The purpose of this specification is to be an implementation guideline for engineers who are responsible for the

model. It intends to avoid ambiguity about function definitions so as to allow engineers to shorten their

implementation period.

The specification covers all the bundled software components which including BIOS, Micro-Controller, device

drivers and applications. The target Operating Systems will be Windows XP and Windows Vista Basic. The device

drivers and applications are options based on per-customers requirements. The engineers should make sure that

these drivers and application could run without any difficulties on the target PC2001 model.

The readers of this specification are assumed to have enough experiences and knowledge to understand

whatever in the context. The specification will not intend to explain any detail of specific topic.

2.3 System Overview

System Memory

The System consists of DDR2 memory on 64-bit bus and the size options are 256/512/1024MB on

each DIMM slot. The BIOS will automatically detect the amount of memory during the POST.

Video

We use the North Bridge internal VGA in this model. The Display frame buffer is shared with system memory.

Enhanced IDE

The enhanced IDE specification has defined many data transfer modes as following:

PIO Mode 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

Multiword DMA Mode 0, 1, 2

Ultra DMA-33/66/100

Which transfer mode will be set depend on the used devices, core chip IDE interface and BIOS

supported. This models BIOS support all the data transfer modes above, and it will auto detect and

initialize it during POST. The Ultra DMA-33/66/100 is a new physical protocol used to transfer data

between an Ultra DMA-33/66/100 capable IDE controller and one or more Ultra DMA-33/66/100

capable IDE devices.

AudioThe audio controller is integrated in south bridge ATI SB460 and through the Azalia data line to

external CODEC to reduce the noise caused by PCBs layout. However the H/W architecture is, the BIOS

will recognize it as a PCI device and initialize it in PCI bus initialization. The PCI legacy audio mode is

not to be supported.

Modem

The system can use all of the modem that is Azalia compliance and the MDC form factor. During

POST need to detect the existence and setting proper registers in south bridge ATI SB460.

New Card

The systems BIOS need to initialize the registers of ATI RS485MC to support some devices need to

work in Windows.

LED Indicator

In the system has some LED and listed below:

Indicator Function Description


10/17


Page 10 of 17

HDD/CDRM LED The LED will turn on when the hard disk drive or CDROM drive is activated or accessed

Num Lock LED The LED will turn on when Num Lock function is activated

Caps Lock LED The LED will turn on when Caps Lock function is activated

Suspend LED The LED will turn blink green when system is suspend.

The LED will turn on green when system entry silent mode.

Charge LED The LED will always off when without Battery.

The LED will turn on green when Battery Full Charged.

The LED will turn on blinking orange when Battery Charging.

The LED will turn on red when Battery Low warning.

Power on LED The LED will turn on green when system Power on.

RF LED The LED will turn on green when RF activated.

Power on the system will turn on Cap, Num lock LED about 1~2 seconds then turn off them.

2.4 Power Management

2.4.1 General Requirement

The purpose of the Power Management (PM) is trying to reduce the power consumption of the system and

extent the battery life, increase the time without recharging the battery. The Advanced Configuration and Power

Interface (ACPI) specification is the latest and better PM method and will replace the traditional APM and PNP

functions. ACPI is a kind of Operating System Directed Power Management (OSPM), that is, the OS will control the

system/devices to enter proper power-saving mode and determine when to do it.

The BIOS shall provide the ACPI table that is written by ASL language, to tell the OS how to setup and control

the system/device configuration and the power-saving mode. So the system H/W, BIOS and drivers must be met the

ACPI specification:

ACPI 2.0 compliant

Supporting processor power state C0, C1, C2 and C3

Supporting system state S0, S3, S4 and S5

Support Smart Power Function

First of all, the next section will depict the power management state transition, and then describe the definitionfor each system state.

2.4.2 Power Management State Transition

2.4.3 Power Management Mode Definitions

Each system (or model) may have different PM model and state definition. For clear, see the following table:

PM Mode Definitions

Full-On The CPU run in full speed and all the devices are power on. The system can respond to all

applications with maximum performance.

1. The system in the state S0.

2. The CPU in the state C0.

3. All the devices in the state D0.

Idle This mode is similar to Full-On except the CPU will change to C1, C2 or C3 state depend on

the OS, to save CPU power consumption.


2. The CPU in the state C1, C2 or C3.

3. All the devices in the state D0.

Suspend The state is more power saving than above; the system will save most power consumption.



12/17


Page 12 of 17

2. HDD, CDROM and LCD power off.

Soft Off /

Hibernate

The state is the most power saving mode, all of the parts in the system will power off, except

the keyboard controller enter to idle mode continuously to control the battery charging and

monitor power button.

Note: Before enter to S4 mode, the OS or BIOS will save all of data or registers in the parts.

1. The system in the state S5 or S4.

2. The CPU and all of devices power off.

When system in suspend mode (S3 state), external keyboard/mouse and touch pad cant be the wake up

event source. Only Power Button can resume the system.

2.4.4 Smart Power Function

The purpose of Smart Power is to save the power consumption during the system is not busy. This function not

only save the power of Battery to extend the Notebooks battery working time, but also reduce the temperature of

CPU / Chip and keep system working in a lower temperature to extend the CPU and whole systems life. Reduce

temperature will also keep Operation System work stable.

2.4.5 Long Battery Life Mode

Also called Smart Power 1, Example:

AC/battery Idle model Battery heavy loading AC heavy loading

CPU 1.8G 800Mhz 800MHz 1800MHz (Disable)

CPU 1.8G 800MHz 800MHz 800MHz (Enable)

Silent Mode: Example:

AC/battery Idle model Battery heavy loading AC heavy loading

CPU 1.8G 800Mhz 800MHz 800MHz (Enable)

CPU 1.8G 800MHz 800MHz 1800MHz (Disable)

2.5 CMOS Setup Menu

The setup function only can be invoked by pressing F2 key during POST that provide a approach to change

some setting and configuration the user prefer, and the changed values will save in the battery backup RAM of

CMOS RTC and will take effect after the system rebooted. The setup uses a menu interface to allow the user to

configure their system and the features are briefly listed as follow
