    Register Definitions (WS16C48) The EBC-C384 uses the WinSystems exclusive ASIC device, the WS16C48. This device provides 48 lines of digital I/O. There are 16 unique registers within the WS16C48. The following table summarizes the registers, and the text that follows provides details on each of the internal registers.
  • Page 42 POL0 - POL2 These registers are accessible when Page 1 is selected. They allow interrupt polarity selection on a port–by–port and bit-by-bit basis. Writing a 1 to a bit position selects the rising edge detection interrupts while writing a 0 to a bit position selects falling edge detection interrupts.

    BIOS SETTINGS STORAGE OPTIONS CMOS Storage Locations The EBC-C384’s BIOS configuration is stored in three (3) locations: (1) CMOS RAM (nonvolatile if battery backed) (2) EEPROM (nonvolatile storage for user defaults) (3) FLASH PROM (nonvolatile storage for factory defaults) Saving the CMOS Configuration The Real-Time Clock and the CMOS RAM settings can be maintained by an optional battery when the board is powered off.
  • Page 70 Updating the BIOS FLASH PROM The most recent EBC-C384 BIOS is available on the WinSystems website. However, it is highly recommended that an Applications Engineer be consulted prior to any BIOS FLASH PROM update. If the BIOS PROM is updated, the steps described above must be followed to reset the CMOS and EEPROM to the newly loaded factory defaults and to clear the data from the previous BIOS version.

    * - Thermal profiles can vary greatly depending on the operating system and applications being used. WinSystems uses the Intel TAT (Thermal Analysis Tool) for testing with Intel processors. This program heavily loads the system and creates a worst case scenario for the single board computer. Specific real world applications will rarely tax the system as heavily and may allow for extending the fanless operational range.

  • Page 76: Best Practices

    APPENDIX - A BEST PRACTICES POWER SUPPLY The power supply and how it is connected to the Single Board Computer (SBC) is very important. Avoid Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Only handle the SBC and other bare electronics when electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is in place. Having a wrist strap and a fully grounded workstation is the minimum ESD protection required before the ESD seal on the product bag is broken.
  • Page 77 Contact Points WinSystems’ boards mostly use connectors with gold finish contacts. Gold finish contacts are used exclusively on high speed connections. Power and lower speed peripheral connectors may use a tin finish as an alternative contact surface. It is critical that the contact material in the mating connectors is matched properly (gold to gold and tin to tin).
  • Page 78 CONFORMAL COATING Applying conformal coating to a WinSystems product will not in itself void the product warranty, if it is properly removed prior to return. Coating may change thermal characteristics and impedes our ability to test, diagnose, and repair products.
  • Page 79 Every single board computer has an Operations manual or Product manual. Manual Updates Operations/Product manuals are updated often. Periodicially check the WinSystems website (http://www.winsystems.com) for revisions. Check Pinouts Always check the pinout and connector locations in the manual before plugging in a cable. Many single board computers will have identical headers for different functions and plugging a cable into the wrong header can have disastrous results.

    APPENDIX - B POST CODES If the system hangs before the BIOS can process the error, the value displayed at the I/O port I/O address 80h is the last test that performed. In this case, the screen does not display an error code.
