Pressing it sets the module's /RST line low, holding the module in a hard reset until the switch is released.Note:This is a "hard" reset using the /RST pin on the main connector, not a "soft" reset. The reset button on the embedded module performs a "soft" reset (see also "Main Connector (P8)" on page 24). Serial/GPIO Switch Bank 3 (SW3) and Switch Bank 4 (SW4)Each switch bank holds five slide switches that enable either serial or GPIO signaling between the development board and the module. When set for GPIO signaling, SW3 works in conjunction with SW1, and SW4 works with SW2. See "GPIO Switch Bank 1 (SW1) and 2 (SW2)" on page 27 for more information. See the following table for SW3 and SW4 switch definitions.Ground +9 to +30  VDC
 27About the Development BoardNote:These switches control where the development board routes a signal. They do not reconfigure the Wi-EM 9210 processor. Software should be configured to track with switch settings. See "GPIO" on page 33 for more information. GPIO Switch Bank 1 (SW1) and 2 (SW2)GPIO Switch Bank 1 and Switch Bank 2, labeled SW1 and SW2, are two sets of five slide switches that set GPIO inputs to logic levels of high (switch to left) or low (switch to right). If the GPIO port is configured as an output, then the switch should always be to the left. If there is an external device connected to P3, the switch should always be set to the left.Each GPIO port can be used independently.Notes:These switches do not determine whether the GPIO is an input or output. That is determined by the module software. If GPIO is set to an output by software, switches must be set to the left (high). These switches are used in conjunction with SW3 and SW4.GPIO Switch Banks 3 and 4 SettingsSwitch Bank Switch Number LeftPosition RightPositionSW31 DCD GPIO-12 CTS GPIO-23 DSR GPIO-34 RTS GPIO-45 DTR GPIO-5SW46 TXD-1 GPIO-67 RXD-1 GPIO-78 TXD-2 GPIO-89 RXD-2 GPIO-910 Not connected Not connected

 33Programming ConsiderationsCHAPTER 3This chapter addresses the embedded modules programming considerations.Note:This chapter applies only to development kit customers. GPIOGeneral InformationThe Wi-EM 9210 processor supports 16 general purpose I/O (GPIO) lines, some of which are reserved for specific functions and some of which can be customized. These GPIO lines fall into three categories: Those labeled “Reserved” in the following table are reserved for a specific use and must not be reprogrammed, or the unit may not operate correctly. Often, these lines are not connected to external interfaces. Those labeled “Allocated” in the following table are exposed to an external interface and allocated to a specific use by the software, but they can be customized safely with code modifications.Those labeled “Available” are exposed to an external interface, not controlled directly by the software, and can be customized.
GPIO34 Digi Connect Wi-EM 9210 Hardware ReferenceGPIO RegistersSix registers govern the 16 GPIO pins. There are four configuration registers. Each has eight bits dedicated to the configuration of each GPIO.. Each GPIO configuration section is set up the same way. The following table shows the settings using bits D07:00; the same settings apply to the corresponding bits in D31:24, D23:D16, and D15:08.GPIO pin configuration registersRegister D31:24 D23:D16D15:08 D07:00A090 2000, config 0 GPIO [15] GPIO [14] GPIO [13] GPIO [12]A090 2004, config 1 GPIO [11] GPIO [10] GPIO [9] GPIO [8]A090 2008, config 2 GPIO [7] GPIO [6] GPIO [5] GPIO [4]A090 200C, config 3 GPIO [3] GPIO [2] GPIO [1] GPIO [0]GPIO ConfigurationSetings using bits D07:00D07:06 Reserved N/AD05:03 FUNCUse these bits to select the function you want to use.

GPIO36 Digi Connect Wi-EM 9210 Hardware ReferenceGPIO [15:0] Control Register There is one GPIO control Register that governs all 16 GPIO pins. When a GPIO pin is configured as a GPIO output, the corresponding bit in the GPIO Control Register is driven out the GPIO pin. In all configurations, the CPU has read/write access to these registers. Register bits D31:16 are unused GPIO pins. These pins are being used as memory data bits 15:00. It is safest to read all 32 bits, modify the bit(s) corresponding to the GPIO(s) of interest, and then write back the full 32 bits. In this way the behavior of the other GPIO lines will be preserved.GPIO [15:0] Status RegisterThere is one GPIO Status Register. This register contains the status information for each of the 16 GPIO pins. Bits D31:16 are used as memory data therefore their status will not be meaningful. In all configurations, the value on the GPIO input pin is brought to the status register and the CPU has read-only access to this register.Register D31:24 D23:D16 D15:08 D07:00A090 206C GPIO [31:24] not used] GPIO [23:16] not used GPIO [15:8] GPIO [7:0]Register D31:24 D23:D16 D15:08 D07:00A090 207C GPIO [31:24] not used] GPIO [23:16] not used GPIO [15:8] GPIO [7:0]

Embedded Module Reset40 Digi Connect Wi-EM 9210 Hardware ReferenceEmbedded Module Reset Hard ResetThe embedded modules support a hardware reset on pin 10 of the 12-pin header. The unit will be forced into a hard reset if this pin is pulled low. When used with the development board, this pin is wired to reset button SW5, which means it acts as a hard reset button.The JTAG version of the Wi-EM 9210 EM module has a 3-pin jumper (JP1) to allow two modes of operation.Shorted 1-2: The CPU and other registers are reset. The PLL, GPIOs, and memory are not. Debugger connection is maintained. This is the same as SRST#  from the debugger.Shorted 2-3:  The entire module is reset. Debugger connection will need to be re-established.Soft ResetNET+OS provides an internal facility to enact a soft reset, but it is the responsibility of a specific implementation to choose a reasonable trigger to invoke it. One choice is to use a GPIO pin as a signal to trigger a soft reset. The embedded modules have one GPIO pin GPIO[13] which is not normally assigned to any other task named "/INIT." It is an ideal candidate for use as a signal for soft reset. The signal is wired to the push button on the module (next to the LEDs), and is pulled high unless the button is pushed. The "naresetapp" sample application demonstrates a simple mechanism for monitoring a GPIO pin and then initiating a soft reset when the pin achieves a particular value.MemoryFlashThe Wi-EM 9210 module has 4 MB of flash memory, which is controlled by chip select 2 (default = st_cs1) located at 0x50000000.

 45SpecificationsNote: The embedded modules use a supervisory circuit with a 2.93V reset threshold. When VCC falls to the threshold voltage, a reset pulse is issued, holding the output in active state. When power rises above 2.93V, the reset remains for approximately 200 ms to allow the system clock and other circuits to stabilize.Warning: The rise time of the 3.3v power supply must be between 700 mS and 140ms and the inrush current must be limited to less than 2 A.  A rise time outside of these limits may cause the device to malfunction and give a 3-1-3 diagnostic error.Operating Conditions Symbol Description Min Typ Max UnitVCC Supply Voltage 3.14 3.3 3.45 Vn/a Power Supply Ripple 40 mVppICC Supply Current — 390 630 mAIIL Input Current as “0”(16.5K equivalent pull-up) — — 200 μAIIH Input Current as “1”(16.5K equivalent pull-up) -10 — 10 μAIOZ HighZ Leakage Current -10 — 10 μAIOD Output Drive Strength — — 2 mACIO Pin Capacitance (VO=0) — — 4 pFInputsSymbol Description Min Typ Max UnitVIH Input High Voltage 2 — VCC+0.3 VVIL Input Low Voltage VSS-0.3 — 0.2*VCC VOutputsSymbol Description Min Typ Max UnitVOH Output High Voltage 2.4 — 3.45 VVOL Output Low Voltage 0 — 0.4 V
