GPIO (General Purpose Input / Output) 40 GPIO pins are provided by the Vortex86SX/DX for general usage in the system. All GPIO pins are independent and can be configured as inputs or outputs, with or without pull-up/pull-down resistors. Vortex86DX-6324RD Vortex86DX Half-Size CPU Module...
SPI flash (Serial Peripheral Interface) As SPI Flash Serial Peripheral Interface) offers many benefits including: reduced controller pin count, smaller and simpler PCBs, reduced switching noise, less power consumption, and lower system cost Many of users may consider using a formatted SPI flash to boot for the system or emulate SPI flash as Floppy (A: Driver or B: Driver).
PWM (Pulse-width modulation) Pulse-width modulation (PWM) of a signal or power source involves the modulation of its duty cycle, to either convey information over a communications channel or control the amount of power sent to a load. The popular applications of pulse width modulation are in speed control of electric motors, volume control of Class D audio amplifiers or brightness control of light sources and many other power electronics applications.
IDE to SD (Micro-SD) Vortex86DX SoC also built-in simulation circuit to adapt SD to IDE in order to allow your system to recognize Micro-SD card as C: or D: Driver SD-1917: 44 pins IDE to SD Adapter is an ideal solution for industrial PC or embedded system and 44 pins IDE to SD Adapter can be easily installed on all Vortex86DX-63xx CPU boards.
C h a p t e r Driver Installation The Vortex86DX processor also use external Display chip ““Volari™ Z9s” which is an ultra low powered graphics chipset with total power consumption at around 1-1.5 W. It is capable in providing VGA display output upto 1600x1200. With DVO interface, developers could easily connect flat Panel to support TFT and LVDS output.
