Watchdog Timer
A watchdog timer can be implemented using the VL-EPMs-21 WDT register and the SMSC
SCH3114 Super I/O chip. The BIOS initializes the SCH3114 WDT registers during post.
See the
SCH311X Datasheet
for detailed Super I/O chip information.
1.
Configure PLD Watchdog control bits (0x1D3.5:4). Examples:
a.
0x1D3 POR default = 00h
b.
0x1D3 = 00h = Do Nothing
c.
0x1D3 = 10h = Cold Reset
d.
0x1D3 = 20h = Power Cycle (3 sec. off time)
e.
0x1D3 = 30h = Power Off
2.
Configure Super I/O WDT (GP60) pin (0x0C47.7,3:0). Examples:
a.
0x0C47 POR default = 0Eh
b.
0x0C47 = 0Eh = WDT enable, Push-Pull, Inverted
3.
Configure Timescale (0x0C65.7). Examples:
a.
0x0C65 POR default = 08h
b.
0x0C65 = 00h = Minutes
c.
0x0C65 = 80h = Seconds
4.
Configure Timeout value (0x0C66.7:0). Examples:
a.
0x0C66 POR default = 00h
b.
0x0C66 = 00h = WDT disabled
c.
0x0C66 = 01h to FFh = Timeout value + 1 (min./sec.)
5.
(optional) Read SIO WDT status bit (0x0C68.1). Examples:
a.
0x0C68 POR default = 00h
b.
0x0C68 = 00h = timer counting
c.
0x0C68 = 01h = timeout occurred (Note: Bit 0 is not automatically cleared by
PCI reset but can be reset by software.)
6.
(optional) Read PLD WDT status bit (0x1D3.7). Examples:
a.
0x1D3 POR default = 00h
b.
0x1D3 = 00h = No timeout has occurred
c.
0x1D3 = 80h = timeout has occurred
7.
(optional) “Feeding” the watchdog.
a.
Repeat step 4
