Hello everyone, today we will learn about the boot sequence

2

00:00:03,166 --> 00:00:08,200

in the standard timing of Intel's 10th to 12th generation low-power CPU chipsets

3

00:00:11,633 --> 00:00:17,866

This lesson includes the signal explanation of the boot sequence and the introduction of the boot process

4

00:00:19,900 --> 00:00:23,833

First, let's look at the signal explanation of the boot sequence

5

00:00:25,033 --> 00:00:31,800

The first signal, PWRBTN#, which is the falling edge trigger signal received by the CPU

6

00:00:34,233 --> 00:00:38,966

It is high in standby mode, it will be pulled low after pressing the switch,

7

00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:42,500

and it will return to high after releasing the switch

8

00:00:46,900 --> 00:00:49,166

The second one, SLP_A#,

9

00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:53,133

this signal was used to turn on the power supply of the ME module

10

00:00:54,833 --> 00:00:58,900

But now there is no ME power supply, so this signal is not used

11

00:01:03,900 --> 00:01:06,266

The third one, CL_RST#,

12

00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:12,433

it is used to reset the wireless network card when supporting the Intel AMT function

13

00:01:16,466 --> 00:01:20,933

PLATFORM VCCASW, this is the ME module power supply,

14

00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,366

the module has been canceled, it can not be found in the circuit diagram

15

00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:37,066

Next, SLP_LAN# and SLP_WLAN# are the power supply start signals of wired network card and wireless network card

16

00:01:41,866 --> 00:01:45,400

VCC_LANPHY is the power supply of the network card,

17

00:01:46,266 --> 00:01:50,600

VCC_WLANPHY is the power supply of the wireless network card

18

00:01:52,766 --> 00:01:58,066

SLP_S5# means that the CPU exits the shutdown state after receiving the switch signal

19

00:02:08,033 --> 00:02:11,466

SLP_S4# is usually used to turn on memory power supply

20

00:02:15,766 --> 00:02:20,666

SLP_S3# is usually used to turn on the power supply required for the S0 state

21

00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:26,366

SLP_S0#

22

00:02:26,866 --> 00:02:33,766

When the CPU is in the idle state, this signal will control the CPU power supply to enter the low power mode

23

00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,166

This signal can also be connected to the EC for other power management

24

00:02:43,933 --> 00:02:46,600

The last one, CPU_C10_GATE#,

25

00:02:47,466 --> 00:02:53,800

this signal is usually used to control the opening and closing of VCCST and VCCSTG power supply

26

00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,433

When the CPU enters the C10 state, which is the idle state,

27

00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:05,933

this signal will turn off VCCST and VCCSTG

28

00:03:12,233 --> 00:03:18,466

In normal operation, this signal is high, it will turn on VCCST and VCCSTG

29

00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:24,333

Now, let's take a look at the boot process

30

00:03:31,300 --> 00:03:35,200

First, the CPU must meet the 11 major standby conditions

31

00:03:35,933 --> 00:03:42,300

After the standby conditions are normal, the CPU needs to read the ME program in the BIOS and configure the pins

32

00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,266

Then, the EC standby condition must be satisfied

33

00:03:50,033 --> 00:03:57,566

Including EC standby power supply, EC standby clock, EC standby reset and EC standby program, etc.

34

00:03:59,366 --> 00:04:02,233

And the switch pin and LID signal should be high level

35

00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,766

Then, press the switch

36

00:04:09,366 --> 00:04:11,500

After the EC receives the switch signal,

37

00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:17,166

it delays and sends a "high --> low --> high" switch signal to the PWRBTN# pin of the CPU

38

00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,600

The CPU will set SLP_S5#, SLP_S4#, SLP_S3# to high

39

00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,833

in order to turn on the power supplies of the following channels

40

00:04:29,266 --> 00:04:35,300

At the same time, CPU_C10_GATE# will be issued to control the opening of VCCST power supply

41

00:04:38,566 --> 00:04:40,533

Ok, this is the boot process
