GPIO WDT Programming This chapter provides WDT (Watch Dog Timer), GPIO (General Purpose Input/ Output). 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. Inportb: Read a single 8-bit I/O port.
3. Write the value back to GPO port. Example: Set N_GPO0 output “high” val =SMBus_ReadByte (0x6E, 0x11); // Read value from N_GPO0 port through SMBus. MSI Industrial Platform Computing val = val | (1<<4); // Set N_GPO0address (bit 4) to 1 (output “high”). SMBus_WriteByte (0x6E, 0x11, val);...
Page 67
val = SMBus_ReadByte (0x6E, 0x11); // Read value from N_GPO1 port through SMBus.. val = val & (~(1<<5)); // Set N_GPO1 address (bit 5) to 0 (output “low”). SMBus_WriteByte (0x6E, 0x11, val); // Write back to N_GPO1 port through SMBus. Read input value from GPI: 1.
// Write back WDT setting Set WDT Time Outportb (WDT_BASE + 0x06, Time); // Write WDT time, value 1 to 255. MSI Industrial Platform Computing Enable WDT val = Inportb (WDT_BASE + 0x0A); // Read current WDT_PME setting val = val | 0x01;...
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 MSI Industrial Platform Computing #define PCI_BUS_NUM #define PCI_DEV_NUM #define PCI_FUN_NUM Get SMBus Base Address int SMBUS_BASE; int DATA_ADDR = PCIBASEADDRESS + (PCI_BUS_NUM<<16) + (PCI_DEV_NUM<<11) + (PCI_FUN_NUM<<8);...
