Diagnostic software verifies system integrity automatically
The PC-510 has built-in diagnostic software that can be used to verify
on-card I/O and memory functions. On powerup, a series of tests is
performed. If a problem occurs, the failed test can be identified by the
color sequence on an on-board, bicolored LED. The test is performed
automatically every time the system is reset or powered up. Software,
test equipment, monitor, keyboard, disks, or test fixtures are not re-
quired for memory verification. See the LED signaling and “beep” codes
chapter for a complete listing of tests and failures and their descriptions.
SETUP information stored in EEPROM for high reliability
Loss of SETUP data is serious in industrial applications. Most PCs
store SETUP information in battery-backed CMOS RAM. If the battery
fails or is replaced during routine maintenance, this information is lost.
Without a keyboard and monitor in embedded applications, time con-
suming re-initialization is required. The PC-510 stores the SETUP
information in EEPROM with 1,536 bytes available to the user. Soft-
ware routines to use this available memory come with the PC-510.
Phoenix BIOS
The PC-510 has a Phoenix AT BIOS with power management and
Octagon BIOS extensions. The AT BIOS supports up to four EIDE
drives.
“Instant DOS” operating system
Datalight ROM-DOS v6.22 operating system is in flash. This means
that this version is always present on powerup. The system boots and
operates the same way as a desktop PC. Since all software and hard-
ware are included, the system is fully operational “out of the box.”
Programmable video BIOS
The flash device contains a video BIOS, which controls the on-board
SVGA controller. To support other flat panels, you can reprogram a
new video BIOS. By default, the video BIOS supports a CRT and Sharp
monochrome dual drive flat panel in simultaneous mode.
