China DOS Union

Here is a part of a code running on DOS written in C. It's about the BIOS watchdog. Please ask about the specific meaning of each sentence and how to write it in Debug assembly. Thanks.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <dos.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <inlines/pc.h>
#include <dpmi.h>
#define INDEX_PORT 0x2e
#define DATA_PORT 0x2f
#define WDTBaseAddress 0xDF300000;
int selector[0];
__dpmi_meminfo mi[0];


void InitWDTimer()
{
mi[0].address = WDTBaseAddress; //WDT timer base address//
mi[0].size = 0x10; //WDT register //
__dpmi_physical_address_mapping(&(mi[0]));
selector[0] = __dpmi_allocate_ldt_descriptors(1);
__dpmi_set_segment_base_address(selector[0], mi[0].address);
__dpmi_set_segment_limit(selector[0], mi[0].size - 1);
}

void SetWDtimer(unsigned long timer)
{
_farsetsel(selector[0]);
//; perform unlock sequence for preload 1//
_farnspokeb(0x0C, 0x80);
_farnspokeb(0x0C, 0x86);
timer = timer * 1000; // Msec hange to Sec//
_farnspokel( 0x00, timer);
//; perform unlock sequence for preload 2//
_farnspokeb(0x0C, 0x80);
_farnspokeb(0x0C, 0x86);
_farnspokel(0x04, 0x01);
outportl(0x0cf8, 0x8000EC00 + 0x68); //;enable WDT timer//
outportl(0x0cfc, 0x00000002);
}

The InitWDTimer function is relatively simple, using DPMI to get a selector pointing to WDTBaseAddress. Since this address exceeds the 24-bit address range of real mode, DPMI (DOS Protected Mode Interface) is used.

As for the SetWDtimer function. After setting up the segment descriptor with _farsetsel in the first sentence, the following _farnspokeb and _farnspokel are port operations, which are related to the design of specific interface command words.

The final outportl is used to write to the PCI configuration. 0x0cf8 is the PCI address port, 0x8000EC00 is the device number (divided into three levels: bus, device, function, the specific bit meanings are to be checked in the PCI specification, I don't remember exactly), 0x68 refers to the register at address 0x68 of this device (custom register, the function is unknown, related to the design of specific interface command words). 0x0cfc is the PCI data port, and this program writes a 32-bit data (0x00000002) to the previously specified register at address 0x68.

This program uses DPMI, and it's not easy to write in assembly. Also, there are many 32-bit operations (_farnspokel, outportl), but Debug only supports 16-bit assembly, and no one should be willing to write machine code directly. Using Debug is very impractical.

Thanks 2zyl910. I'll try first.

_farpeekb, _farpeekw, _farpeekl
_farnspeekb, _farnspeekw, _farnspeekl
_farpokeb, _farpokew, _farpokel
_farnspokeb, void _farnspokew, _farnspokel
These are the interface functions for DPMI to read and write protected mode memory.
_farsetsel, _fargetsel are the interface functions for setting and obtaining LDT.
===The above parts need to study the materials of protected mode programming to better understand===
The following two sentences are relatively simple -
1. This hardware uses the PCI configuration space 8000EC00 segment (each segment is 256 bytes), BUSID = 0, DEVICEID = 29.
2. Its 68H is the BIOS watchdog timer enable register (for the specific register distribution, format and function of this configuration space, you'd better get it from the manufacturer).
3. Set the value of this register to 2 to enable the timer.
Note: The value of the timer seems to be at the protected mode memory space DF300000.
If you must use DEBUG to write, then many statements can only use machine language. It is recommended that you use masm611, use the.386 mode, if you are familiar with protected mode programming, you can use INT 15H call to completely get rid of DPMI.

Thanks everyone, still learning!!
