The names of the COM ports are printed on the top of the PCB. Depending on the specific ETX module,
LVDS (JILI) or digital (JIDI) LCD signals are supported.

5.2 Feature Connector

Feature Connector

VCC_UL +5V UL-protected with inductor (600R@100MHz, 1A)
BATLOW# Battery low input. May be driven low by external circuitry to signal that the system battery is

low, or may be used to signal some other external power management event.

RSMRST# Resume Reset input. This input may be driven low by external circuitry in order to reset the

power management logic on the ETX module.
SERIRQ Serial interrupt request. This pin is used to support the serial interrupt protocol.
I2CLK, I2DAT Clock and data line of I2C-Bus. Switched I/O-lines with approximate 10kHz. Do not use as

multi master. Intended for I2C and other simple I/O-devices.
SMBDATA, SMBCLK Clock and data line of SM-Bus. For future use. Do not use today.
GPE2# General-purpose power management event input 2. May be driven low by external circuitry to

signal an external power management event. Within the ETX module, this pin is commonly

connected to the chipset’s RING# input.
GPE1# General-purpose power management event input 1. May be driven low by external circuitry to

signal an external power management event. Within the ETX module, this pin is commonly

connected to the chipset’s LID# input.
EXTSMI System management interrupt input. May be driven low by external circuitry to initiate an

SMI.
GPCS# Reserved. Do not connect to this pin.
SMBALRT# System Management Bus Alert input. May be driven low by SMB devices in order to signal an

event on the SM Bus.
EXT_PRG Reserved. Do not connect to this pin.
ROMKBCS# Reserved. Do not connect to this pin.
BATT 3V backup cell input. BATT should be connected to a 3V backup cell for RTC operation and

storage register non-volatility in the absence of system power. (VBATT = 2.4 – 3.3V)
KBINH Keyboard Inhibit.
PWGIN High active input for the ETX-PC indicates that power from the power supply is ready. It can

also be used as low active reset input signal.
PWRBTN# Power Button Input. This input is used to support the ACPI Power Button function.
HLEDR Low active output signal, which indicates activity on IDE interfaces.

5.3 Flat panel Connector

LCD Connector (JILI)

BIASON Controls panel contrast voltage.
DIGON Controls panel digital power.
BLON# Controls backlight power.
LTGIO0 General purpose I/O pin; not used by JILI interface.
JILI_DAT, JILI_CLK I2C interface for panel parameter EEPROM. This EEPROM is mounted on the LVDS receiver. The

data in the EEPROM allows the ETX module to automatically set the proper timing parameters

for a specific LCD panel.
DETECT# Panel hot-plug detection. Implementation of this pin is optional. See the specific ETX module

product manual for details.

LCD Connector (JIDI)

R[0..5], G[0..5], B[0..5] Parallel digital signals for red, green and blue pixel data.
HSYNC Horizontal Sync: This output supplies the horizontal synchronization pulse for flat panels.

This signal is named LP (Line Pulse) in some flat panel literature.

VSYNC Vertical Sync: This output supplies the vertical synchronization pulse for flat panels. This

signal is named FLM (First Line Marker) in some flat panel literature.
DE Data enable signal. Usage depends on display type.
SHCLK Panel data clock signal.

6 Super I/O controller

6 Super I/O controller

The support of this controller is integrated in all Kontron's ETX® BIOS revisions. On this baseboard this
controller supports the additional serial ports (COM3 and COM4). Please check the Application Note
‘Connecting an external SuperIO controller to ETX or PC104’ (former JAP0033) and the ETX eval
schematics, available on our web site, for design-in example.

7 PCMCIA/CardBus Controller PCI1520

7 PCMCIA/CardBus Controller PCI1520

The onboard PCMCIA controller is configured for parallel interrupts. Please note that using all available
COM ports may reduce the amount of available resources for interrupts (IRQs 3,4,10,11 are routed)
and/or I/O area to establish proper function of plugged memory or I/O devices. This device is PCI device
slot 3.
