2.7.1 RESET Button

A RESET button is fitted to the front panel to avoid false operation. The RESET button triggers the on-board system reset
generator, as well as the VME if jumper J2 is set.

2.7.2 ABORT Button

Together with the RESET button, an ABORT button is also fitted to the front panel. The ABORT button generates a level
7 IRQ (non-maskable interrupt) which is used for debugging purposes. In this case, bit 1 of the Board Control/Status
Register is not set (remains ‘0’).

2.7.3 LED Port

The front panel LED port consists of three LEDs with the following functions:

Red LED

CPU in HALT or RESET status

Yellow LED

Watchdog timer running status

Green LED

General purpose, set via board control/status register

The green LED is free to be used by the customer. It is set by the software during startup when the 68EN360 is initialized.
