    (without fan) for the PCH. User GPIO Signals The ReadyBoard 910 provides eight GPIO pins for custom use. The signals are routed to the CN13 header, and the enable and initialize values are set in the BIOS. For more information about GPIO pin operation, refer to the Programming Manual for the Super I/O controller at: http://www.smsc.com/main/catalog/sch311x.html...

  • Page 39: Serial Console

    Hardware Serial Console The ReadyBoard 910 supports the serial console (or console redirection) feature. This I/O function is provided by an ANSI-compatible serial terminal, or the equivalent terminal emulation software running on another system. This can be very useful when setting up the BIOS on a production line for systems that are not connected to a keyboard and display.

    BIOS implements interrupt 15 function 0C3h to manipulate the WDT. Power Interfaces The ReadyBoard 910 uses various voltages onboard and externally receives +12 volts through the external Power In (CN3) interface, which uses an 8-pin header with 0.165" (4.2 mm) pitch. The +12V is provided for the CPU Fan, System Fan, LVDS power, PCI-104 bus, and PCIe Mini Card power.
