GPIO WDT Programming This chapter provides GPIO (General Purpose Input/ Output), WDT (Watch Dog Timer), 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.
Page 53
// Set N_GPO1 address (bit 7) to 0 (output “low”). Outportb (0xA05, val); // Write back to N_GPO1 port. MSI Industrial Platform Computing Read input value from GPI Read the value from GPI port. Get the value of GPI address.
Page 54
= Inportb (WDT_BASE + 0x05); // Read current WDT setting val = val & 0xDF; // Disable WDT by set WD_EN (bit 5) to 0. MSI Industrial Platform Computing Outportb (WDT_BASE + 0x05, val); // Write back WDT setting. Check WDT Reset Flag If the system has been reset by WDT function, this flag will set to 1.
