DIGITAL-LOGIC AG MSE-P5IP Manual V1.31 IRQ[ 3 - 7, 9 - 12, 14, 15], input These signals are used to tell the microprocessor that an I/O device needs attention. An interrupt re- quest is generated when an IRQ line is raised from low to high. The line must be held high until the microprocessor acknowledges the interrupt request.

DIGITAL-LOGIC AG MSE-P5IP Manual V1.31 4.4 Controllers 4.4.1 Interrupt Controllers An 8259A compatible interrupt controller, within the CS4021 device, provides seven prioritized inter- rupt levels. Of these, several are normally associated with the board's onboard device interfaces and controllers, and several are available on the AT expansion bus.
800 ms. If no strobe occures within the 800 ms, the watchdog resets the system. To program the watchdog in user application DIGITAL-LOGIC AG has implemented a special BIOS extension in interrupt 60h (function: EBh).
DIGITAL-LOGIC AG MSE-P5IP Manual V1.31 4.6 BIOS 4.6.1 BIOS Memory Devices 4.6.1.1 FLASH/ROM-BIOS Sockets An EPROM socket with 8 Bit wide data access normally contains the board's AT compatible ROM- BIOS. The socket takes any of a 27C010 to 27C040 EPROM (or equivalent) device. The board's wait- state control logic automatically inserts four memory wait states in all CPU accesses to this socket.
On the next Setup pages (switched with PgDn and PgUp) the values for special parameters are modi- fiable. Normally the parameters are set correctly by DIGITAL-LOGIC AG. Be very careful with modify- ing any parameter since the system could crash. Some parameters are dependent on the type of CPU.
DIGITAL-LOGIC AG MSE-P5IP Manual V1.31 4.6.3 CMOS Setup Harddisk Harddisk parameter selection: Since the BIOS autodetects the harddisk type, no HD-drive parameter table is needed. Refer to the BIOS-HD-Setup and select autodetect. The parameters are read out of the harddisk and stored into the CMOS memory.
DIGITAL-LOGIC AG MSE-P5IP Manual V1.31 4.6.5 EEPROM saved CMOS Setup The EEPROM has different functions, as listed below: • Backup of the CMOS-Setup values. • Storing the keymatrix definitions, if the hardware supports a keymatrix (MSM386SV, MSM386SN, MSM486SV). • Storing system informations like: version, production date, customisation of the board, CPU type.
