PCI-ISA Bridge Mapping
The CoreModule 740 supports ISA bus based modules with an on-board PCI-ISA bridge. The PCI-ISA
bridge optionally maps the IRQs to ISA based modules.
The CoreModule 740 system BIOS, maps the above resources based on information provided in the BIOS
Setup screens. By default, IRQs to be mapped to ISA modules must be explicitly specified by the user in the
BIOS Setup screens.
The IRQs are mapped with the “PCIPnP/IRQx” fields in BIOS setup (where x specifies the IRQ number.)
The IRQs 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 14, and 15 can be mapped to ISA based modules by changing the default
setting for these IRQs from “Available” to “Reserved”.
OEM Logo Utility
The CoreModule 740 BIOS supports a graphical logo utility, which can be customized by the user and
displayed when enabled through the BIOS Setup Utility. The graphical image can be a company logo or any
custom image the user wants to display during the boot process. The custom image can be displayed as the
first image on screen and remain there while the OS boots, depending on the options selected in BIOS Setup.
Logo Image Requirements
The user’s image may be customized with any image editing tool, and the system will automatically convert
the image into an acceptable format to the tools (files and utilities) provided by ADLINK. The
CoreModule 740 OEM Logo utility supports the following image formats:
•
Bitmap image
♦
16-Color, 640x480 pixels
♦
256-Color, 640x480 pixels

probes hardware addresses may cause a loss or failure of the serial console
functions.
