24 23BAppendix B: BIOS Operation
For other operating systems, special 32-bit drivers (JIDAIA??.ZIP) are available. You can download the
zip file from the Kontron Web site.
24.9.2 Remote Control Client Extension
You can remotely control the EPIC/PM using software available from Kontron (JRC-1, Part Number
96047-0000-00-0). This software tool can communicate with the board via one of the serial ports.
During boot-up, the system BIOS scans the serial ports for an available JRC connection. If detected, it
loads the JRC client BIOS extension into the memory. With the JRC client loaded into the first detected
free memory location between C0000hex and DFFFFhex, a 16K block is shadowed.
For more information on the Remote Control usage, refer to the JRC-1 technical manual or Application
Note JRCUsage_E???.PDF, which you can find on the Kontron Web site.
24.9.3 LAN PXE ROM
If the onboard LAN PXE ROM is enabled in the system BIOS setup, a special optional ROM for the Ethernet
controller loads into memory during boot up. This optional ROM allows you to boot the EPIC/PM over an
Ethernet connection. A server with Intel PXE boot support is required on the other side of the Ethernet
connection. The setup and configuration of the server, including PXE support, is not the responsibility of
Kontron.
The PXE ROM extension is loaded into the first free memory area between C0000hex and DFFFFhex and a
16K block of memory is shadowed.
