Serial Interfaces

Also see BSP / Using the Hardware / Serial Interfaces.
You need an additional adapter to translate the 3.3V-UART signals (provided on the Micro-SUB port) to USB.

IOs

Four digital inputs/outputs (either or) are available. If used as output the state can be read back from the associated input.
The table below shows number and function of available GPIOs. You can access them via the standard GPIO Sys-interface /sys/class/gpio

Name direction Accessible via Connector
dout1 output /sys/class/gpio/dout1 X17_DIO1
din1 input /sys/class/gpio/din1 X17_DIO1
dout2 output /sys/class/gpio/dout2 X17_DIO2
din2 input /sys/class/gpio/din2 X17_DIO2
dout3 output /sys/class/gpio/dout3 X17_DIO3
din3 input /sys/class/gpio/din3 X17_DIO3
dout4 output /sys/class/gpio/dout4 X17_DIO4
din4 input /sys/class/gpio/din4 X17_DIO4

Audio

A speaker can be plugged in X10

Display Interfaces

The displays of the devices described in capter "Models" are connected via the 50 pin RGB 24 interface (X12). X12 also includes the touch lines for the touch controller. Between display and board a display adapter board (bonded on the display) is required.

The board is additionally equiped with an 40 pin LVDS interface (X19). With this interface customer specific displays can be ćonnected via a convenient display adapter.

Ethernet

Name Connector Linux device
Ethernet 1 X7 eth0
Ethernet 2 X6 eth1

USB

The connector X9 is including the two USB ports "top" and "bottom". Both ports are configured as USB Host in Linux. The "top" port can also be configured as device (dr_mode="peripheral" in the usbotg node of the devicetree). OTG mode is not possible because of the missing id pin on type A/B connectors.
