XE–700 SBC major software features

Diagnostic software verifies system integrity automatically

The XE–700 SBC has built-in diagnostic software that can be used to verify on-card
I/O and memory functions. On power-up, a series of tests is performed. If a problem
occurs, the failed test can be identified by a flashing LED or a beep code. The test is
performed automatically every time the system is reset or powered up. Memory
verification does not require software, test equipment, monitor, keyboard, disks, or
test fixtures. See the "Troubleshooting" chapter for a listing of tests and failures
and their descriptions.

Phoenix software BIOS

The XE–700 SBC has a Phoenix Software BIOS with Octagon BIOS extensions.
The BIOS extensions support the INT17 functions.

Octagon BIOS extensions

On-board BIOS extensions allow easy access to watchdog timer functions, serial
EEPROM, digital I/O, etc.
