  • Page 6: Introduction

    BIOS modifications you may require. This manual is fairly short. This is because for the most part, the TS-5400 is a standard x86-based PC compatible computer, and there are hundreds of books about writing software for the PC platform. The primary purpose of this manual is documenting where the TS-5400 differs from a standard PC.

  • Page 7: Power

    4.2 Flash There is a total of 2 MB of Flash memory on the TS-5400 with 128 KB reserved for the BIOS. During POST, this 128 KB area is copied from Flash into SDRAM at addresses E0000h through FFFFFh for improved performance (a standard technique known as BIOS Shadowing).

  • Page 8: Using The Sandisk Usb Compact Flash Card Reader

    Technologic Systems host PC for file transfers. This results in the ability to quickly move files from a host PC to the TS-5400 using a Compact Flash card as the removable media. Since the Compact Flash card appears as a standard IDE drive on the TS-5400, it uses no additional RAM for drivers.

  • Page 9: Serial Port Configuration Registers

    This is quite sufficient to interface with the vast majority of serial devices. If additional handshake lines are required, it will be necessary to add a TS-SER daughter board. The TS-5400 serial signals are routed to 10-pin header labeled COM2 and a standard 9-pin Sub-D male labeled COM2. A serial adapter cable can be plugged into the COM2 header to convert this into a standard DB9 male connector.

  • Page 10: Automatic Rs-485 Tx Enable

    DOS software drivers. The TS-5400 PC/104 bus has IRQ 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, or 15 available for additional serial ports. Typically each serial port has a dedicated interrupt, but the TS-SER4 allows all four extra serial ports to share a single interrupt.

    LCD connector on the front-side can result in a reverse power polarity and can damage the LCD display. Please refer to your LCD data sheets for in-depth information. The TS-5400 BIOS incorporates a fairly complete set of INT10h video routines that work with the LCD. Once the LCD has been enabled (INT15h/Func B042h –...

  • Page 13: The 10/100 Base-T Ethernet Port

    The physical interface is 10/100Base-T (RJ45 connector). The TS-5400 has both a LINK/ACTIVITY LED and a 10/100 speed LED built into each RJ-45 connector that indicates the current Ethernet status. The LINK LED (left side of connector, green) is active when a valid Ethernet link is detected.

    The TS-9500 daughter board provides full VGA video, keyboard, and mouse interfaces necessary to work within most environments. It also has a Compact Flash card that can be used even if the TS-5400 is using a Compact Flash card as well. You can transfer your development tools (e.g. Turbo C) onto the TS-9500 Compact Flash card.

  • Page 21: Debugging

    TS-5400 User’s Manual Technologic Systems 15 Debugging There are two main methods for debugging on the TS-5400: using the integrated BIOS debugger (INT3) and/or using your development tool's debugger (this usually requires the TS-9500 video and keyboard). 15.1 Integrated BIOS Debugger To provide simple, direct access to the TS-5400 hardware, the system BIOS has an integrated debugger that can perform standard low-level debugger functions.
