Boot Flash

Boot loader image and SUM information that serves to determine
whether or not the boot loader image has been successfully written are
written in the boot loader-2 area.

The COMADJ/RTC accurancy adjustment value should be stored in the parameter area.

DiskOnChip

The key matrix is interfaced by the GPIO instruction set of the CPU. The
key matrix comprised of 24 keys connected in a 6 column 4 row
arrangement.
The [Power] key is connected to GPIO_0 and GPIO_22 of the PXA255
processor.
If more than three keys are pressed simultaneously, the correct result of
key input cannot be acquired because two or more of the keys pressed
are in the same column (COL).
(An example of incorrect input: pressing the [8], [9] and the [4] keys
simultaneously)
In the UP-X200, the [•] and [TRG] are separated into a different group
from the other keys. Therefore, when the [•] and [TRG] keys are
pressed together in conjunction with another key in the same column,
the key combination is interpreted as specified.
(An example of correct input: pressing keys the [8], [9] and the [•] simul-
taneously)

• Power

• Reset

GPIO_0 or GPIO_1 is the only element which causes the ON condition
after a full PXA255 reset. The [Power] key and AC adapter input are
ORed and set in GPIO_0. The determination of whether power-on is
effected by AC insertion or the [Power] key is made as follows: power is
switched on by the [Power] key when GPIO_22 is high and by AC inser-
tion when low.

Boot Loader

– 4 –

The boot loader fulfills the following functions.

• Normal Mode

Carries out initialisation of hardware and grants control to the CE
image located on the Disk On Chip.

•  Maintenance Mode (Displayed in QVGA mode)

The maintenance mode is invoked by pressing the [5] key while hold-
ing down the [Power] key.

Operations such as updating of the WindowsCE image, boot loader,

backup and restoring of the Disk On Chip image may be effected in
this mode.

•  Activation of Diagnostics for production.

Execution of Diagnostics on NOR for production.

• 2-side support

Reduces the possibility of failure to activate in the event of unfore-

seen accidents.

1

Boot Loader-2 is checked immediately after resetting and,
if enabled is executed. If disabled, Boot Loader-1 is executed.

2

Hardware initialization is carried out, the CPU set to the sleep mode
and power-on awaited (pressing the [Power] key). (All peripheral
devices should be either OFF or in power saving mode at this stage.)

3

Switching power on (by pressing the [Power] key) executes the
WindowsCE image on the Disk On Chip or Diagnostics.
When the WindowsCE image or Diagnostics does not exist on the
Flash ROM, the maintenance mode is invoked.

*

To determine the existence of the image, check whether or not the
program is stored in the specified area.

4

If the [5] key was pressed when power was switched on (by press-
ing the [Power] key), the maintenance mode is invoked.

*

A SUM check of Boot Loader-2 area is carried out when Boot
Loader-1 is activated and, if results are normal, processing is
shifted to Boot Loader-2.

*

Boot Loader-1 rewrites only in JTAG.

*

The Boot Loader-2 area is rewritten by "Boot Loader Update" on
the Boot Loader maintenance menu and the remote maintenance
function. (:

*

 1)

*1

Rewriting of Boot Loader-2 is effected from the OS of the
remote maintenance function ONEMINIT.

A simple menu is displayed in the maintenance mode from where
selections may be made using the numeric keypad.

*

If the [Power] key is pressed, CPU software is updated and the pro-

cess returned to awaiting input of the [Power] key.

*

Verification should be carried out to ensure that writing to and reading

from the Flash ROM have been correctly carried out.

Windows CE Image

– 5 –

The following two methods of the Start function are available using the keys.

Pressing the [Power] key after the reset switch, results in the start of
Windows CE by the registry stored on the Disk On Chip. If the registry
file is not stored on the Disk On Chip, the registry information is not
changed.

After pressing the reset switch, pressing the [Power] key while holding
down the [CL] and [•] keys results in the initialization of the registry to
the factory-set status and start of WindowsCE.

Battery

Calculates battery time remaining based on the read out of voltage
and temperature by the AD converter.

Buzzer

Controlled by the PWM in the CPU. The driver should be a stream
type with ON (in units of 50ms and 100ms) and OFF functions.

LED

2 LED Controls.
The driver should be a stream type with ON, OFF and blink functions.

FFS

True FFS manufactured by M-Systems is used.
Contains the WindowsONEMINIT image and the remainder is
used as a Flash disk.
The Flash disk file name is "Flash DISK".
User application data is stored on the Flash disk.

RTC Calendar

Since an external RTC is used for maintenance of information, the
RTC calendar with an internal PXA255 is not used.
The PXA255 is used unchanged for cyclic interruptions, etc.
(Reducing the number of changes).
The RTC accurancy adjustment data set function is included in the
"ONEMINIT" of the WindowsCE initialization process.

AUDIO

Driver with A97 codec application (i.e. capable of simultaneous
audio recording and playing to realize the audio transmission
function).

USB

Factory setting
Status with no power supply. 

The CPU begins to run when the battery is inserted.

2

OFF Status (Boot Loader)

Initialization is carried out from the HW reset status and the
suspend status effected by the boot loader.

•  Reduction of OFF current may be achieved by suspending the

power supply and clock of unnecessary devices, and setting up a

CPU port.

3

RUN Status

Switch ON using the [Power] key.

•  A fatal check must be executed and if a fatal status is detected,

power must not be switched on.
Power must not be switched on if GPIO 17 (MAIN_BATT_LB) is

active (3 read calls at 10ms intervals), or if the battery compart-

ment lid is in unlock status.

•  In the RUN status, current consumption must be minimized by

switching off the power and clock requirements.

Additionally, it is recommended that application designs should

incorporate INFINTE as the TIME OUT for each thread (i.e. iop-
eration based on interrupt drive), enabling an environment where

the CPU can carry out IDLE processing.

•  When stored on the Flash disk, the registry information, favorites

and attached files are read out.

4

OFF Status (OS)

Transition to the suspend status may be accompished in one of the

two ways detailed below.

Note when a suspension is intialized under the conditions stated

below, Normally, resumption may be effected by input of the

[Power] key (exceptions: 

6

, 

8

).

[Transition to the suspend status by pressing the [Power] key, or

upon request from the application]

•  Reduce OFF current by suspending the power supply and clock

of an unnecessary device, and setting up a CPU port.

•  Suspension is effected in the following sequence.

1. A buzzer sounds.

2. Register information, favorites and attached files are stored.

3. GwesPowerOffSystem is called.

The buzzer tone lets the user know that files are being saved and

that caution is required. At the same time, the buzzer also acts as a

warning to the user not to remove the batteries.

Note, the [Power] key suspend function is valid only when the [Power]

key is enabled in the register shown below.
