The RTD Enhanced BIOS
The RTD Enhanced BIOS is software that interfaces hardware-specific features of the cpuModule to an
operating system (OS). Physically, the BIOS software is stored in a Flash EPROM on the cpuModule.
Functions of the BIOS are divided into two parts.
The first part of the BIOS is known as POST (power-on self-test) software, and it is active from the time
power is applied until an OS boots (begins execution). POST software performs a series of hardware tests,
sets up the machine as defined in Setup, and begins the boot of the OS.
The second part of the BIOS is known as the CORE BIOS. It is the normal interface between cpuModule
hardware and the OS which is in control. It is active from the time the OS boots until the cpuModule is
turned off. The CORE BIOS provides the system with a series of software interrupts to control various
hardware devices.
Configuring the RTD Enhanced BIOS
The cpuModule Setup program allows you to customize the cpuModule's configuration. Selections made in
Setup are stored on the board and are read by the BIOS at power-on.
Entering the BIOS Setup through the Graphical BIOS Menu
You can run Setup by rebooting the cpuModule and repeatedly pressing the
ESC
key. This will bring to you
to a graphical BIOS menu with several options described in the table below.
To enter Setup, navigate to the
Setup Utility
option with the arrow keys, and press
Enter
.
