[0025] Example: This example provides a computer module based on the Feiteng FT-2000 / 4 processor, as shown in the attached Figure 1As shown, it includes a Feiteng module equipped with a FT-2000 / 4 processor 1, a watchdog module 2 communicating with the processor 1, a current and voltage monitoring module 3, a network adapter 4, a network output module 5 and a power supply module 6, wherein:

[0026] The watchdog module 2 is used to monitor the operating status of the processor. Preferably, the watchdog module 2 adopts a CPLD equipped with an EF2L15LG100B chip. CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is the abbreviation of Complex PLD. It is a logic element that is more complex than PLD. It is a digital integrated circuit that users can construct logic functions according to their own needs. It has the characteristics of strong programmability, rich logic resources, low power consumption, etc., and is very suitable for implementing complex monitoring logic. Specifically in the design of this embodiment, the CPLD is configured to regularly send a heartbeat signal to the Feiteng module. When the module is operating normally, it will respond to the heartbeat signal on time. If the module is abnormal or freezes and cannot respond to the heartbeat signal in time, the CPLD will trigger the reset operation of the module to restore the module to its initial state to ensure the normal operation of the Feiteng module.

[0027] The current and voltage monitoring module 3 is used to monitor the input current and voltage of the processor 1 in real time, providing data support for power consumption calculation. Preferably, the current and voltage monitoring module 3 of this embodiment adopts a TPA626 monitoring chip. The current and voltage monitoring module 3 is connected to the processor 1 via I2C communication, and the user can view its power consumption value in real time through the display interface of the processor (such as LED display, serial port output, etc.). In this embodiment, the current and voltage monitoring of the Feiteng module is implemented by the TPA626 monitoring chip. The TPA626 monitoring chip is a high-performance current and voltage monitoring chip that can accurately measure the current and voltage values ​​in the circuit. At the input end of the Feiteng module, the TPA626 is used to monitor the current and voltage of the 12V input voltage. The monitored data is output to the Feiteng module via I2C. The internal program of the Feiteng module will receive this data and calculate the power consumption value according to the power consumption calculation formula (power consumption = current × voltage). This power consumption value can be displayed through the display interface of the Feiteng module (such as LED display, serial port output, etc.) for the user to view in real time.

[0028] The network adapter 4 is used to enhance the data communication capabilities of the processor to meet the needs of large data transmission and processing. Preferably, the network adapter 4 of this embodiment adopts a network adapter equipped with a WX1820 chip and configured with two 10G network interfaces. It is connected to the processor 1 via a PCI-E interface. The WX1820 chip is a high-performance network adapter that can support high-speed network connections to meet the needs of large data transmission and processing. It realizes the 10G network output function of the Feiteng module and greatly enhances the data communication capabilities of the Feiteng module. In actual applications, users can set parameters and configure the network of the WX1820 to meet specific network communication needs.

[0029] The network output module 5 is used to output network signals. Preferably, the network output module 5 of this embodiment uses a JXY8211 network PHY chip for communicating with the device's mainboard. The PHY chip uses a dual-mode output, connecting to both FIBER mode and UTP mode. The PHY operating mode can be controlled by a CPLD, supporting 1000M BASE-X and 1000M BASE-T modes respectively.

[0030] The power module 6 is connected to the CPLD and the processor 1 via the connector 7 to provide power to the entire module.

[0031] Furthermore, the watchdog module 2 is also electrically connected to a plurality of LED indicators, including a power-on indicator LED1, a watchdog indicator LED2, and a network indicator, wherein:

[0032] LED1 is managed by CPLD. After normal startup, the indicator light flashes (frequency is 1Hz), and the light is always off after shutdown.

[0033] LED2 is managed by CPLD. It is always on when it is turned on. It flashes after the watchdog receives the feeding signal. The flashing frequency is 10 times the feeding frequency. The light is always off when the watchdog is turned off.

[0034] There are two network indicator lights, LED3 and LED4, which correspond to the two 10G networks of the network adapter respectively. The network indication Link and ACT indication of the network adapter 4 are respectively entered into the CPLD and merged into one network indicator light. The logic is that the light is always on when connected and the light flashes when sending and receiving data.
