Intermec 073290-001 User Manual

Power-On Reset circuit VR3 simultaneously asserts the PSC reset input 
and the PXA255 nRESET. This ensures that the processor is always in 
reset as its power is ramped up. 

Warm boot forces code execution to vector to boot code, where the kernel 
is restarted without reinitializing the object store. Warm boot is 
implemented as in the 700 and 241X products: Pressing and holding the 
I key for several seconds: 

•  The PSC first wakes the system if it is suspended. 

•  The PSC starts a timer on I key down. 

•  If the IO key is still down after approximately 5 seconds, the PSC asserts 

signal VDD_FAULT* to command a warm boot. 

• If the I key is released before the timer expires, the PSC treats it as a 

simple Suspend/Resume command and asserts PSC_IRQ to suspend or 
resume the system. 

The VDD_FAULT* assertion causes the processor to suspend. The PSC 
then awakes the system using PSC_IRQ. Code execution starts as it would 
on a normal resume but checks the PXA255 power management registers 
to determine if the exception was triggered by VDD_FAULT*. If it was, 
code execution vectors to the warm boot in the bootloader. 

Other functional blocks in the computer have their own resets. 

The FPGA generates its own internal reset as part of the download process. 
Because it is an SRAM-based device and is not even downloaded until well 
after the system reset is release, system reset is not brought out to the 
FPGA. After download, functional blocks within the FPGA are reset 
through their own memory-mapped control registers. 

The audio codec (Proto 0 only) uses the AC97 interface reset (AC_RST). 

The Bluetooth module supplies its own power-on reset. 

PCI slot reset is provided through the PCI bus reset–PCI-RESET–
generated by the FPGA-based PCI host bridge. 

The I key is a simple contact closure to GND on the keypad PCB. The 
IO_KEY* signal is debounced in software by the PSC, which then issues a 
PSC_IRQ* interrupt to PXA255 GPIO[0] to suspend or resume the 
system PXA255. On a resume, the PSC does not issue the interrupt if 
BATT_FAULT_IRQ* is asserted (main battery too low to resume).
