System Installation 3.4.2 Intel Integrated Graphics GMCH Chip Using Intel® SCH US15WP(T) with Media Accelerator High performance graphic integrated chipset is aimed to gain an outstanding graphic performance. Shared 1MB to 8MB system DDR2-SDRAM Memory with Total Graphics Memory. This combination makes PQ7-M100G an excellent piece of multimedia hardware.
WDT and you need to include more tolerance. “Let Twd be longer than 2 seconds” is the recommendation due to the limitation of Winbond W83627DHG WDT. You can call Portwell support center for reference. The value read back from CR_Twd indicates the counting down value instead of the original Twd. System will be reset after the Time-out Value to be counted down to zero.
System Installation GPIO The PEB-2738 provides 8 programmable input or output ports that can be individually configured to perform a simple basic I/O function. Users can configure each individual port to become an input or output port by programming register bit of I/O Selection.
