Getting started with your GEMINI
Once you have a working GEMINI system, you can start adding other peripherals to
enable you to start development. In this section we guide you through setting up and
using peripherals and some of the features of the GEMINI.
The GEMINI uses a Phoenix-Award BIOS (Basic Input-Output System) to provide
support for the board as standard. BIOS defaults have been selected to enable the board
to operate with a minimum of devices connected. If you want to change these default
settings, you use the Phoenix-Award BIOS setup program.
The setup parameters are stored in the CMOS RAM and are retained when the power is
switched off, providing the battery backup supply is connected. If no battery is installed or
the CMOS settings are corrupted then the BIOS will restore them from an onboard
CMOS EEPROM.
