to 100k Ohm).

2) The maximum length for SDIO signals on the baseboard is 80mm

3) SDIO boot is supported on baseboards that conform to the maximum

length

specification for SDIO (80mm).

Watchdog

This feature is implemented within an I

2

C Watchdog and offers a single-stage

watchdog. You can configure the Watchdog Timer (WDTimer) using the JIDA32

Library API (Refer to Appendix: JIDA Standard), or through the BIOS setup, or

directly through register settings. The application software should strobe

the WDTrigger to prevent a timeout. The WDTrigger resets and restarts the

system after a timeout to provide a way to recover from program crashes or

lockups.

The Watchdog can be enabled through:

»

BIOS Setup (with BIOS NOW1R113 or newer)

»

JIDA32 or K-Station

»

Direct programming over register settings

The Watchdog can be triggered through

»

JIDA32 or K-Station

»

Direct programming (i.e., writing data into one register of the CPLD)

For information about programming this feature, see the JIDA32/K-Station

driver packet in the Kontron Customer section or contact your local sales

support representative to get an application note about low level

programming.

General Purpose Input and Output (GPIO)

The COMe-cXLi2 COM provides eight GPIOs that can be accessed through the

module connector described in the Pin-out Lists, Section 0. The GPIO

interface is shared with SDIO signals and can be enabled in BIOS setup for

either GPIO or SDIO.

Note:

GPIO cannot drive applications faster than 2msec. Data transfer

rates up to 1 kHz maximum are recommended.
