2.7 GPIO (General Purpose Input / Output)
40 GPIO pins are provided by the Vortex86SX/DX for general usage in the system. All GPIO pins
are independent and can be configured as inputs or outputs, with or without pull-up/pull-down
resistors.
We also offer DOS, Linux and WinCE example for your reference. For more technical support,

2.8 SPI flash (Serial Peripheral Interface)
As SPI Flash (Serial Peripheral Interface) offers many benefits including: reduced controller pin
count, smaller and simpler PCBs, reduced switching noise, less power consumption, and lower
system cost
Many of users may consider using a formatted SPI flash to boot for the system or emulate SPI
flash as Floppy (A: Driver or B: Driver). Then you must know how to set for this condition in
CMOS Setup and boot up under DOS 6.22, X-DOS, DR-DOS and Free DOS.

2.9 PWM (Pulse-width modulation)
Pulse-width modulation (PWM) of a signal or power source involves the modulation of its duty
cycle, to either convey information over a communications channel or control the amount of
power sent to a load.
The popular applications of pulse width modulation are in speed control of electric motors,
volume control of Class D audio amplifiers or brightness control of light sources and many other
power electronics applications.
The Vortex86DX SoC integrated 32 channels of PWM interface enabling the Automation, robotic
industry to a New Age x86 SoC platform and we also offer the sample code of PWM which will
guide the engineer to control the PWM functionality smoothly.
For more inquire of this sample code that please contact our sales team or mail to:

Driver Installation
VGA
The Vortex86DX processor also use external Display chip ““Volari™ Z9s” which is an ultra low
powered graphics chipset with total power consumption at around 1-1.5 W. It is capable in
providing VGA display output upto 1600x1200. With DVO interface, developers could easily
connect flat Panel to support TFT and LVDS output.
LAN
The Vortex86DX processor also integrated 10/100Mbps Ethernet controller that supports both
10/100BASE-T and allows direct connection to your 10/100Mbps Ethernet based Local Area
Network for full interaction with local servers, wide area networks such as the Internet.
I/O and IRQ settings can be done by software with the supplied utility software, or it can be set
for Plug and Play compatibility. The controller supports: Half / Full-Duplex Ethernet function to
double channel bandwidth, auto media detection.
AUDIO
CM119 is a highly integrated single chip USB audio controller specifically for VoIP (Voice over
internet protocol) application. All essential analog modules are embedded in CM119, including
dual DAC and earphone driver, ADC, microphone booster, PLL, regulator, and USB transceiver.

E. TCP/IP library for DOS real mode
DSock is a TCP/IP library for DOS real mode, which is used by RSIP. It provides simple C
functions for programmer to write Internet applications. ICOP also provide Internet examples
using DSock: BOOTP/DHCP, FTP server, SMTP client/server, HTTP server, TELNET server,
Talk client/server, etc.
DSock provides a lot of example source code. Programmer can add Internet functions to their
project easily and save development time. With a utility "MakeROM”, programmer also can make
a ROM image to fit their application, those examples can be seen in the following Application
systems: Mity-Mite Serial Server, Web Camera Tiny Server and RSIP Serial Server.
DSock is free for All ICOP products using M6117D/Vortex86/Vortex86SX/Vortex86DX CPU and
ICOP also provide the business version of DSock for those customers who are using other x86
CPUs.
If you would like to use DSock or business version of DSock, Please mail to info@icop.com.tw or
