4.1 Gbit Ethernet LAN The LAN1 connector does support 10, 100 and 1000 Mbit LAN. 4.2 USB Host Connector The double USB Host connector does support USB2.0 connection with High speed up to 480Mbit/s and also full and low speed devices. The on-board pin connector for internal USB does have the following pin out.
4.6 LVDS Connectors 4.6.1 F&S JAE FI-S25P connector on top side The single channel LVDS display port on top side can be direct connected to a LVDS 18 or 24 bit display. The VLCD voltage is 3.3V and switched on the baseboard. The current limit is 1.2 A. Connector is a JAE FI-S25P-HFE.
4.6.2 JILI30 JAE FI-X30S connector on bottom side The dual channel LVDS display port can be direct connected to a LVDS 18 or 24 bit single channel or dual channel display. The signals for the first channel are shared with the other connector 4.6.1. By connecting 2 single channel displays to the board we recommend to use the top connector for the first channel and the second channel of the bottom connector for the second display.

4.9 I2C connector for touch module This connector is to connect the F&S SINTF-ADP-CTOUCH or SINTF-ADP-RTI2C. SINTF- ADP-CTOUCH module is based on Atmel mXT224 maxTouch chip working with several capacitive touch glasses. The SINTF-ADP-RTI2C is based on Semtech SX8655 for 4 and 5 wire touch. The connector is a Hirose 6 pin connector, model no.
4.11.1 Audio The connector does provide Stereo Line in, Stereo Line out and microphone. Figure 6: Audio connection 4.11.2 RS232 COM port A 9 pin double row connector is mounted in pin 53..61. That allows attaching a standard 9pin to DSUB9 adapter cable for debug output of boot loader and kernel with TX and RX to a terminal.
4.11.4 I2C/ SPI The module supports two I2C interfaces at feature connector. Only one is compatible with armStone standard. Signals are 3.3V compliant and do have 4.7k pull-ups on module There is also a HS SPI interface as alternative function available on these pins. armStoneA9 Feature Connector I2C Interfaces J1 Pin PullUp...

5.3 Power consumption and cooling Depend you product version you will have different temperature range and power consumption of the module. The operating temperature can be measured on the mounting holes or the golden cooling plate on top of the module and shouldn’t exceed the maximum operating temperature of the board (85°C for the most of our armStoneA9 boards).
Storage conditions Maximum storage on room temperature with non-condensing humidity: 6 months Maximum storage on controlled conditions 25 ±5 °C, max. 60% humidity: 12 months For longer storage we recommend vacuum dry packs. ROHS and REACH statement All F&S designs are created from lead-free components and are completely ROHS compliant.
