GPIO WDT SMBus Programming This chapter provides WDT (Watch Dog Timer), GPIO (General Purpose Input/ Output) and SMBus Access programming guide. Abstract In this section, code examples based on C programming language provided for customer interest. Inportb, Outportb, Inportl and Outportl are basic functions used for access IO ports and defined as following.
General Purpose IO 1. General Purposed IO – GPIO/DIO The GPIO port configuration addresses are listed in the following table: Name IO Port IO address Name IO Port IO address N_GPI0 0x12 Bit 0 N_GPO0 0x21 Bit 0 N_GPI1 N_GPO1 0x12 Bit 1 0x21...
Page 75
SMBus_WriteByte (0x6E, 0x21, val); // Write back to N_GPO0 port through SMBus. Example: Set N_GPO1 output “low” val = SMBus_ReadByte (0x6E, 0x21); // Read value from N_GPO1 port through SMBus.. val = val & (~(1<<1)); // Set N_GPO1 address (bit 1) to 0 (output “low”). SMBus_WriteByte (0x6E, 0x21, val);...
Watchdog Timer 2. Watchdog Timer – WDT The base address (WDT_BASE) of WDT configuration registers is 0xA10. Set WDT Time Unit val = Inportb (WDT_BASE + 0x05); // Read current WDT setting val = val | 0x08; // minute mode. val = val & 0xF7 if second mode Outportb (WDT_BASE + 0x05, val);...
SMBus Access 3. SMBus Access The base address of SMBus must know before access. The relevant bus and device information are as following. #define IO_SC 0xCF8 #define IO_DA 0xCFC #define PCIBASEADDRESS 0x80000000 #define PCI_BUS_NUM #define PCI_DEV_NUM #define PCI_FUN_NUM Get SMBus Base Address int SMBUS_BASE;...
