    GPIO LPC Interface The nanoX-TCR offers the LPC (Low Pin Count) bus through the CPU. Many devices already exist for this Intel defined bus. The LPC bus corresponds approximately to a serialized ISA bus yet with a significantly reduced number of signals. Because of the software compatibility to an ISA bus, I/O extensions such as additional serial ports can be easily implemented on an application specific baseboard using this bus.

  • Page 27: Video Interfaces

    Digital Input signals (AC/HDA_SDIN) support up to two codecs. Ethernet Interface The nanoX-TCR supports one Gigabit Ethernet interface. The Ethernet interface is implemented from the 82574IT Ethernet controller and provides one GLAN interface, which occupies PCI Express port 1. The Ethernet function supports multi-speed operation at 10/100/1000 Mbps and operates in full-duplex at all supported speeds or half duplex at 10/100 Mbps while adhering to the IEEE 802.3x flow control...

  • Page 28: I²C™ Bus

    PCI Express ™ The nanoX-TCR offers four (4x) PCI Express x1 ports (ports 0-3) through the COM Express A-B connector, originating from the CPU. Ports 2 and 3 can be configured to support PCI Express edge cards or ExpressCards, supporting up to 2.5 Gb/s bandwidth in each direction. The first x1 port (port 0) acts as the connection between the CPU and the PCH and cannot be used as a PCIe port.
