The power on the 5V line is equipped with a resettable fuse with 500mA. USB device The USB device connects the armStoneA5 as device on a PC. microSD The microSD push-push connector supports the SD Standard Host Specification Version 2.0...
LVDS port connector The single channel LVDS display port can be direct connected to a LVDS 18 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. Matching connector on display cable is a crimp connector FI-S25S housing and a cable with FI-C3-A1-15000 crimp contacts.
The integrated resistive touch controller will support 4 wire analog resistive touch panels. The connector is a Hirose 4 pin connector, model no. DF13A-4P-1.25H, mounted on the armStoneA5 module. Pin 1 is marked on PCB. Matching connector is a Hirose DF13-4S-1.25C with DF13-2630SCF crimping contacts.
An external touch controller can be connected here The connector is a Hirose 6 pin connector, model no. DF13A-6P-1.25H, mounted on the armStoneA5 module. Pin 1 is marked on PCB. Matching connector is a Hirose DF13-6S-1.25C with DF13-2630SCF crimping contacts.
4.11 Audio connector A 3.5mm stero phone jack provides audio line-out. The signals are shared with the audio signals on the Feature connector. 4.12 66 Pin Feature connector This 2.54mm connector supports CAN, RS232, Audio, ADC Input, PWM output, TTL serial ports, keyboard matrix and GPIOs.

4.12.1 Audio The feature connector provides Stereo Line in, Stereo Line out and microphone. 4.12.2 RS232 COM port A 9 pin double row connector is mounted in pin 53..61. That allows to attach a standard 9pin to DSUB9 adapter cable for debug output of bootloader and kernel with TX, RX, RTS and CTS to a terminal.
4.12.9 GPIOs GPIOs are programmable as Input or Output with 3.3V TTL level. The default maximum driv- er current is 10mA (sink and source). XGPIO0..9 have 4.7k pull-up on module. !!! XGPIO9 has a pull-down due to bug in processor revision. Will be changed to pull-up when bug in processor is fixed.!!! MISC signals, power 4.12.10...
CAN Bus 4.12.11 As an optional feature the module does provide the CAN bus transmit and receive TTL signal without any termination in standard version (CANRX, CANTX). Both signals are working with 3.3V level. Needs an interface chip to the CAN bus as shown below. If not used, please left signals un- connected.

If an external 3.3V power supply is used for external logic, we recommend to use the “VCC Out 3.3V” as enable signal for this power supply to avoid backdrive leak current through IO pins..
