4.1.6 Windows XP 2nd IDE Bug Fix

Most PC-AT chipsets contain a dual IDE controller. The AMD Geode™ CS5536 and CS5535 companion devices contain
only a single IDE controller. These companion devices use the same out-of-box Windows

®

XP IDE driver as other

compatible chipsets.

This may present a problem since the driver will assume a dual controller is present. The result is that, system
resources may become reserved and unavailable for other devices. Install the following .reg file from the
Product CD:

DRIVERS\WinXP-Win2K\IDE\General-IDE-Driver\XP Geode disable IDE2.reg

This reg file (XP Geode disable IDE2.reg) disables the second IDE controller in the XP OS.

The changes do not affect the performance of the IDE controller but simply allow the resources to be used elsewhere.

4.1.7 VideoIn

The VideoInput function (frame grabber) is available in conjunction with the MSB800, MPC21, MSEP800 and optional
on the MPCV800. The low cost version MSB800L and MSEP800L do not include this feature.

The Geode LX800 / LX900 contains a low cost video input port. It consist of LX800 / LX900's video input port (VIP) and
the external frame grabber chip SAA7111A from Philips. This port is capable of digitizing a CVBS video signal with 15
frames per second at a resolution of 352 x 288bits. Note that this frame rate is only achievable when the raw data
stream is compressed before being stored on the hard drive. Driver support is currently available for the Windows XP
platform.

With higher resolutions, the frame rate will decrease.
