XTX 820 Reference Manual 79
∗ If this field is set to [Always], all resources and interrupts associated with Serial
Redirection are protected and not released to DOS. This option lets Serial Redirection
permanently reside at base memory which allows the DOS console to be redirected.
However, the graphics output (VGA, SVGA, etc) from DOS programs is not redirected.
∗ If this field is set to [Boot Loader], Serial Redirection is active during the OS boot loader
process. This allows boot status messages to be redirected, but Serial Redirection will
terminate when the OS loads.
♦ Terminal Type – [ANSI], [VT100], or [VT-UTF8]
∗ If [VT-UTF8] is selected, the following field disappears from the screen.
• VT-UTF8 Combo Key Support – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
This field enables VT-UFT8 combination key support for ANSI/VT100 terminals.
♦ Sredir Memory Display Delay – [No Delay], [Delay 1 sec], [Delay 2 sec] or [Delay 4 sec]
This fields sets the delay in seconds for the memory information to display on screen.
>Hardware Health Configuration
• H/W Health Function – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
Hardware Health Event Monitoring
♦ Board Temperature – [Current board temperature
°C/°F]
♦ CPU Temperature – [Current processor die temperature
°C/°F]
♦ VcoreA – [Current Core A reading]
♦ VcoreB – [Current Core B reading]
♦ +3.3Vin – [Current +3.3V reading]
♦ +5Vin – [Current +5V reading]
♦ VBAT – [Current VBAT (
≈3.0V) reading]
>Watchdog Configuration
• Post Watchdog – [Disabled], [30 sec], [1 min], [2 min], [5 min], [10 min], or [30 min]
This watchdog is only active during the power-on-self-test (POST) of the system and provides a
facility to prevent errors during bootup by performing a reset.
* If this field is enabled by selecting a time interval (30 sec to 30 min) it will direct the
watchdog timer to reset the system if it fails to boot the OS properly. Refer to the watchdog
timer section in Chapter 3 for more information.
• Runtime Watchdog – [Disabled], [One-time trigger], [Single Event ], or [Repeated Event]
This field selects the operating mode of the runtime watchdog and will be initialized just before
the operating system starts booting.
∗ If this field is set to [One time trigger], the watchdog will be disabled after the first trigger.
∗ If this field is set to [Single event', every stage will be executed only once, then the watchdog
will be disabled.
∗ If this field is set to [Repeated event] the last stage will be executed repeatedly until a reset
occurs.
∗ If [Disabled] is selected the following options do not appear on screen.
♦ Delay – [Disabled], [10 sec], [30 sec], [1 min], [2 min], [5 min], [10 min], or [30 min]
This field selects the delay time before the runtime watchdog becomes active. This ensures
the operating system has enough time to load.
