The mouse uses I/O and IRQ resources. The BIOS allocates the resources during POST configuration. The resources are
set to be compatible with common PC/AT settings. You can change some mouse-related parameters from the BIOS
setup.
IrDA
The ETX®-DC is capable of IrDA SIR operation. This feature is implemented in the Winbond 83627HF. Contact Kontron
Embedded Modules for help with this feature.
Parallel Port
The parallel-communication interface shares signals with the floppy-disk interface. The implementation of this
parallel port complies with the ETX® Specification. Implementation information is provided in the ETX® Design Guide.
Refer to the documentation for additional information.
Configuration :
The parallel-communication interface uses I/O, IRQ, and DMA resources. The resources are allocated by the BIOS
during POST configuration and are set to be compatible with common PC/AT settings. You can change some
parameters of the parallel-communication interface through the BIOS setup.
Floppy
The floppy-disk interface shares signals with the parallel-communication interface. The floppy interface is limited to
one drive (drive_1). A standard floppy cable has two connectors for floppy drives. One connector has a non-twisted
cable leading to it, the other has a twisted cable leading to it. When using the floppy interface you must connect the
floppy drive to the connector (drive_1) that has the non-twisted cable leading to it.
The implementation of this subsystem complies with the ETX® Specification. Implementation information is provided
in the ETX® Design Guide. Refer to the documentation for additional information.
Configuration :
The floppy-disk controller uses I/O, IRQ, and direct memory access (DMA) resources. These resources are allocated by
BIOS during POST configuration and are compatible with common PC/AT settings. You can change some parameters of
the parallel-communication interface through the BIOS setup.
