Page 5: Overview
Features 1.1 INTRODUCTION The AR-B9629 is a new generation half-size, 386SX board. This card offers much greater performance than the older cards such as support for onboard 2MB DRAM. The unit also comes with a programmable watchdog timer and other typical interfaces. The 386 CPU board is excellent for embedded systems, MMI’s, workstations, medical applications or POS/POI systems. -
Page 7: System Controller
Parallel Port (AR-B9449) 2.1 MICROPROCESSOR The AR-B9629 uses the ALI M6117 CPU; it is designed to perform systems like Intel’s 386SX system with deep green features. The 386SX core is the same as M1386SX of Acer Labs. Inc. and 100% object code compatible with the Intel 386SX microprocessor. -
Page 8: Keyboard Controller
2.4 INTERRUPT CONTROLLER The equivalent of two 8259 Programmable Interrupt Controllers (PIC) are included on the AR-B9629 board. They accept requests from peripherals, resolve priorities on pending interrupts in service, issue interrupt requests to the CPU, and provide vectors which are used as acceptance indices by the CPU to determine which interrupt service routine to execute. -

2.4.2 Real-Time Clock and Non-Volatile RAM The AR-B9629 contains a real-time clock compartment that maintains the date and time in addition to storing configuration information about the computer system. It contains 14 bytes of clock and control registers and 114 bytes of general purpose RAM. -
Page 11: Serial Port
AR-B9629 User’s Guide 2.5 SERIAL PORT The ACEs (Asynchronous Communication Elements ACE1 to ACE4) are not only used to convert parallel data to a serial format on the transmit side but also used to convert serial data to parallel on the receiver side. In order of transmission and reception, the serial format is a start bit, followed by five to eight data bits, a parity bit (if programmed) and one, one and half (five-bit format only) or two stop bits. - Page 12 AR-B9629 User’s Guide (5) Line Control Register (LCR) Bit 0: Word Length Select Bit 0 (WLS0) Bit 1: Word Length Select Bit 1 (WLS1) WLS1 WLS0 Word Length 5 Bits 6 Bits 7 Bits 8 Bits Bit 2: Number of Stop Bit (STB)
