LVDS Flat Panel Interface (JILI)
The Intel® Atom processor has integrated 18-bit single channel LVDS for WXGA.
The user interface for flat panels is the JILI Intelligent LVDS Interface.
The implementation of this subsystem complies with the COM Express®
specification. For additional implementation information, refer to the PICMG
COM Express® Design Guide on the PIGMG website.
4.1.13 Ethernet Interface
The Ethernet interface on the microETXexpress®-PV-XT COM is the Intel®
82567LM 10/100/1000 Mbit Ethernet PHY. The GbE PHY is connected to the
GLCI/LCI of the ICH8M. The controller supports a 10/100/1000 Base-T interface
and it auto-negotiates the use of 10 Mbit/sec, 100 Mbit/sec or 1Gbit/sec
connections.
The interface supports functions such as WOL (WakeOnLAN) and PXE (Preboot
eXecution Environment) Lanboot.
For cable lengths and terminations on your baseboard, refer to the PICMG COM
Express® Design Guide on the PICMG website.
Configuration
The Ethernet controller is a PCI Express bus device. The BIOS allocates the
required system resources during the configuration of the PCIe device.
4.1.14 SPI Bus Interface
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) signals are connected to the Intel®
ICH8M hub with pins that were previously reserved on the COM Express®
connector. The SPI interface can be used to connect one carrier board
devices, including external BIOS flash memory. The implementation of this
subsystem complies with the COM Express® specification. For additional
implementation information, refer to the PICMG COM Express® Design Guide on
the PICMG website
4.1.15 LPC Bus Interface
The Low Pin Count (LPC) interface signals are connected to the Intel® ICH8M.
The LPC low-speed interface can be used for peripheral circuits. For example,
it can be used as an external super I/O controller to combine legacy-device
support into a single IC. The implementation of this subsystem complies with
the COM Express® specification. For additional implementation information,
refer to the PICMG COM Express® Design Guide on the PICMG website.
