To setup the LCD, you need the component below:
1. A panel with LVDS interfaces.
2. An inverter for panel’s backlight power.
3. A LCD cable and an inverter cable.
For the cables, please follow the pin assignment of the connector to make a cable,
because every panel has its own pin assignment, so we do not provide a standard cable;
please find a local cable manufacture to make cables.
LCD Installation Guide:
1. Preparing the LV-679, LCD panel and the backlight inverter.
m
2. Please check the datasheet of the panel to see the voltage of the panel, and set
the jumper JVLCD to +12V or +5V or +3.3V.
3. You would need a LVDS type cable.

compatible CPU architecture based processors and computers. The BIOS
provides critical low-level support for the system central processing, memory and
I/O sub-systems.
The BIOS setup program of the single board computer let the customers modify
the basic configuration setting. The settings are stored in a dedicated
battery-backed memory, NVRAM, retains the information when the power is
turned off. If the battery runs out of the power, then the settings of BIOS will

The GPIO’s can be programmed with the MSDOS debug program using
simple IN/OUT commands. The following lines show an example how
to do this.
GPIO0…..GPIO7 bit0……bit7
-o 2E 87 ; Enter configuration
-o 2E 87
-o 2E 07
-o 2F 09 ; Enable GPIO’s function
-o 2E 30
-o 2F 02 ; Enable GPIO’s configuration
-o 2E F0
-o 2F xx ; Set GPIO’s as input/output; set ‘1’ for
input,’0’for output
-o 2E F1
-o 2F xx ; If set GPIO’s as output, in this register its
value can be set
Optional:
-o 2E F2
-o 2F xx ; Data inversion register; ‘1’ inverts the current
value of the bits,’0’ leaves them as they are
-o 2E 30
-o 2F 01 ; Active GPIO’s
