Logical Blocks in the Watchdog Implementation
The watchdog is controlled by writing to the SuperIO registers. The BYPASS_LAN# signal
will indicate whether LAN bypass is activated. When the BYPASS_LAN# output is 0 (active-
low), the CSA-5100 hardware will bypass the LAN inputs (LAN1, LAN2, LAN3, LAN4). When
the BYPASS_LAN# output is 1 (inactive), the CSA-5100 hardware will take in the LAN inputs
for IP package inspection and security processing. The various pin functions are described
as follows.
• BYPASS_BTN#
: issue a low pulse after the button is pushed. The BIOS routine will
read the bypass button status, then trigger BYPASS_LAN# when the button is
pushed. Linux watchdog software need NOT handle the BYPASS_BTN#.
• BYPASS_LAN#
: active low. Both BIOS and Linux watchdog software can read and
change this GPIO status. LAN bypass is activated when BYPASS_LAN# is set to 0
(active-low).
• WDOG_CTRL : LPC bus. Both BIOS and Linux can control the SuperIO watchdog by
writing its registers over LPC bus.
• WDOG_RESET
: issue low pulse when feeding fails. A system reset will be
triggerered if WDT_ENABLE is set to 1. After a system reset, BYPASS_LAN# is set
to 0 (active-low) automatically by the BIOS.
• LAN_BY_LED#
, lit when BYPASS_LAN# is set to low. The feature is implemented by
pure hardware logic and there is no control required by BIOS/Linux software.
