NANO-AL EPIC SBC LVDS Low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) is a dual-wire, high-speed differential electrical signaling system commonly used to connect LCD displays to a computer. POST The Power-on Self Test (POST) is the pre-boot actions the system performs when the system is turned-on.
NANO-AL EPIC SBC E.1 Introduction The DIO connector on the NANO-AL is interfaced to GPIO ports on the Super I/O chipset. The digital inputs and digital outputs are generally control signals that control the on/off circuit of external devices or TTL devices. Data can be read or written to the selected address to enable the DIO functions.
