Module Description
3.1 Processor and Chipset (SoC: System on a Chip)
The Vortex86DX2 is a high performance and fully static 32-bit x86 processor with the compatibil-
ity of running Windows, Linux, and most popular 32-bit Real-Time Operating Systems. It also
integrates 32KB write through 4-way L1 cache, 256KB write-through/write-back 4-way L2
cache, PCIE bus in at 2.5Gb/s, DDR2, ROM controller, ISA, I2C, SPI, IPC (Internal Peripheral
Controllers with DMA and interrupt timer/counter included), Fast Ethernet, FIFO UART, USB2.0
Host, IDE/SATA controller and two Watchdog Timers within a single 720-pin BGA package to
form a system-on-a-chip (SoC). The SoC provides an ideal solution for embedded system and
communications products such as thin clients, NAT routers, home gateways, access points, and
tablet PCs.

The two-row headers on the this board all use a pin sequence in which one
row is odd numbered and the adjacent row is even numbered.
