microsystems µFlashTCP-EP User’s Manual Operation The µFlashTCP-EP is configured with two ‘disk drives’ A: and B:. Drive A: contains the operating system, the BIOS, and utility programs essential to the operation of the µFlashTCP-EP. Drive A: is read-only. Drive B: is read/write and contains optional utility programs and is available for user files and applications.
. These files are EDIT.COM also found on the JK microsystems web site. The µFlashTCP-EP does not have a hardware clock calendar. The time and date will be maintained by DOS until the power is cycled. If the correct time and date are required after a...

microsystems µFlashTCP-EP User’s Manual Hardware Memory Configuration The 386Ex processor is initially configured in real mode with a physical address space of 1 megabyte. The SRAM is located between 00000h and 7FFFFh, the flash is between 80000h and FFFFFh. A 32-pin DIP socket is provided for additional flash, RAM, or EPROM. This memory can be accessed by reprogramming the chip select unit in the 386Ex or by entering protected mode.
microsystems µFlashTCP-EP User’s Manual 386Ex Port 3 bits 0-5, I/O Address F870 and F872 hex Port 3 bits 0,1,2 and 5 are available on J6, bits 3 and 4 are available on J5. The data on Port 3 can be read from I/O address F870 hex. The pins default to inputs. Each bit of Port 3 can be individually configured as an input or output.

microsystems µFlashTCP-EP User’s Manual COM1 is wired as Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) for connection to a peripheral such as a modem. This is a full function RS-232 port implementing all of the handshaking and control lines with the exception of the Ring Indicator input. The UART base address is at I/O location 3F8h and can be configured to use IRQ 4.
IR7 or externally to reset the board. Software should periodically reload the counter indicating that it is behaving properly. JK microsystems strongly recomments implementing the watchdog feature in user software. A system using the watchdog will be able to recover (reboot) from events that would frequently require user intervention.
microsystems µFlashTCP-EP User’s Manual To enable the watchdog in Software mode the following sequence must be followed: 1. Write the upper byte of the reload value to the WDTRLDH register (F4C0h) 2. Write the lower byte of the reload value to the WDTRLDL register (F4C2h) 3.

Jumpers JP1 - RS485 Termination This jumper allows the user to enable the internal RS-485 termination resistors. If termination is required, JP1 pins 1-2 and 3-4 should be shorted.
microsystems µFlashTCP-EP User’s Manual JP2/3 - COM1 Voltage Levels These jumpers allow the user to select between RS232 and TTL levels for the COM1 serial port. Install jumpers on JP2 for TTL levels or JP3 for RS232 levels. Default position: JP3: 1-2, 3-4, ..., 13-14, RS232 Levels.
