Pull Up Resistor Pull Down Resistor Not Connected / Reserved 5.5 Onboard Fan Connector The Express-GFC has an onboard fan connector (FAN1: 3-pin 1.25 mm Wafer) on the underside of the board, next to the SODIMM socket. FAN1: 12V Fan Power Signal...
6 Module Connectors and Switches 6.1 Onboard Fan Connector The Express-GFC has an onboard fan connector (FAN1: 4-pin 1.25 mm Wafer) on the topside of the board, close to the CPU. The PWM / TAG signals on the 4-pin connector are shared with the AB pins PWM and TAG signals leading to the carrier board.
The AIDI library includes a demo program to demonstrate the library’s functionallity. Watchdog Timer The Express-GFC implements a Watchdog timer that can be used to automatically detect software execution problems or system hangs and reset the board if necessary. The Watchdog timer consists of a counter that counts down from an initial value to zero.
