2.4 Watchdog Timer
The watchdog timer work flow of Vortex86 is: If the watchdog timer expires the first time,
the expired event will set SFTMR0_STS and timer will reload its inital value and count
again. If the timer expire the second time, the expired event will set SFTMR1_STS.

SVGA Setup

3.1 Introduction
The Vortex86-6071 offers high performance/low cost Vortex SoC (System on Chip)
solution that integrates a x86 compatible processor, high performance North Bridge,
advanced hardware GUI engine and Super-South bridge into a single chipset – this SoC
design supports the now PC technology, USB, Legacy Removal, CIR, Memory Stick,
Smart Card and Slotless Design for a variety of Industrial Applications covering automation,
data acquisition, internet communication, and other information exchange devices. It also
has a built-in VGA controller.

3.1.1 SoC Chipset

The embedded video uses the integrated Ultra-AGP VGA controller for Hardware
2D/video/Graphics Accelerators, this board supports conventional analog CRT monitor or
flat panel. It is both AGP 4X / Fully DirectX 8 Compliant. It also provides Monitor /
Secondary CRT Monitor output. This video SVGA controller supports conventional analog
CRT monitor or flat panel. In addition, it also supports interlaced and non-interlaced analog
monitors (color and monochrome VGA) in high-resolution modes while maintaining
complete IBM VGA compatibility. Multiple frequency (multi-sync) monitors are handled as if
they were analog monitors.

3.1.2 Display memory

The VGA controller can drive CRT displays or color panel displays with resolutions up to
1920 x 1440 at 256 colors (True colors). It supports Shared System Memory up to 128
MB.

TFT-LCD Panel Driving

Note: The TFT-LCD panel display is compatible with four kinds of timing. They are
VGA-480, VGA-400, VGA-350 and freedom mode. The polarization of Hsync and
Vsync determine the timings.
