6 Embedded Functions All embedded board functions on ADLINK’s Computer on Modules are supported at the operating system level using the ADLINK Intelligent Device Interface (AIDI) library. The AIDI API programming interface is compatible and identical across all ADLINK Computer on Modules and all supported operating systems.
GPIO The COM.0 Rev 2.0 Type 10 standard specification allows for optional SDIO signals to be carried over the GPIO pins. On the nanoX-TC, the output mode is set to either SDIO or GPIO by BIOS setup. The nanoX-BASE has no special setting for this and will either output the GPIO signals to the GPIO header or the SDIO signals to the standard SDIO socket.
Hardware Monitoring To ensure system health of your embedded system ADLINK’s COM Express modules come with built in support for monitoring and control of CPU and system temperatures, fan speed and critical module voltage levels. The AIDI Library provides simple APIs at the application level to support these functions and adds alarm functions when voltage or temperature levels exceeds the upper or lower limit set by the user.

Execute Disable Bit Capability This is an Intel hardware-based security feature that can help reduce system exposure to viruses and malicious code. It allows the processor to classify areas in memory where application code can or cannot execute. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables its code execution, preventing damage and worm propagation.
