12 BIOS Configuration for FBCube-Modules
For some of the FBCube modules special Embedded BIOS configuration options may be
necessary. They are listed in this appendix. Please remember that the Embedded BIOS V4.x
file of the IPC/NETIPCFW-1A distribution is exclusively preconfigured for the
CUB/NETIPC-1A board and the Embedded BIOS V5.x file is exclusively preconfigured for
the IPC/NETIPC-5A board!

12.1. NETIPC boards

The CUB/NETIPC-1B board provides 8 Mbytes and the CUB/NETIPC-1A 32 MBytes of main
memory.
The correct target NETIPC board must be set in the 'Target Board' screen of the BCP (or
BCPX) program to enable correct BIOS operation and the correct VGA BIOS extension must
be downloaded to the target (see chapter 5.2).

12.2. CUB/SIC4-1A Serial Interface Module

The Embedded BIOS can be configured to support the channels of the CUB/SIC4-1A as
standard COMx-ports. See paragraph 4.5.1 for more information.
The four channels A, B, C and D are fully compatible to the standard PC 16C550A UART
exept for the interrupt line, which is common to all four channels.
The following options must be set in the BCP COM port setup screen to define a CUB/SIC4-
1A channel as COM-port:
– Set I/O port to the channels base address (e.g. Moduleaddress = 1 -> channels
A/B/C/D = I/O ports 1100h/1108h/1110h/1118h).
– Set RTS Enable to NO if you use RS485 drivers to YES if you use RS232
drivers on the CUB/SIC4-1A.
Set Clock Scale to 1 because the CUB/SIC4-1A uses a 3.6864 MHz UART
–
clock.
– Leave the BIOS int14 init byte at standard int14 values.

12.3. CUB/CARFBC-1R

The CUB/CARFBC-1R features a shared RAM of 8 16 or 32 kbyte for data transfers. To be
able to access this memory from the NETIPC board the jumpered address range must be
redirected to the expansion bus in case it is occupied by a local memory resource on the CPU
module (e.g. the main memory or FlashROM).
This must be done in the BCP(X) Memory Configuration setup screen.
