UDOO-X86 is a board designed specifically for maker’s / DIY market, embedding both a System-on-Chips (SoC) of the Intel® family of embedded SoCs formerly
coded as Braswell, and an Arduino 101-compatible platform.
This board represents a junction point between the PC world, represented by the Braswell SoCs, and the Arduino 101 World, implemented on-board using an
Intel® Curie microcontroller (the same used, indeed, in Arduino 101 boards).
All the SoCs mounted on UDOO X86 are Quad-Core, ranging from 2.00GHz up to 2.56 GHz, with 64-bit instruction set and very low TDP. This single chip solution
includes the memory controller, which gives support for up to 8GB of DDR3L memory directly soldered on-board.
All SoCs embed an Intel® HD Graphics controller, with up to 16 Execution units, which offers high graphical performances, with support for Microsoft® DirectX11.1,
OpenGL 4.2, OpenCL 1.2, OpenGL ES 3.0 and HW acceleration for video decoding of HEVC, H.264, MPEG2, MVC, VC-1, WMV9, JPEG/MJPEG and VP8 video
standards (for H.264, MVC and JPEG/MJPEG also HW encoding is offered). This embedded GPU is able to drive three independent displays, by using the HDMI
and the two miniDP++. Any combinations of these video interfaces are supported.
Other features offered by the N-Series Intel® Pentium® / Celeron® and x5-Series Atom family of SoCs, and included in UDOO X86 board, are two SATA Channels
(one used for the common SATA / SSD drives, the other used to implement a M.2 Socket 2 Key B SSD slot), microSD interface, four USB ports (three USB 3.0 on
standard Type-A sockets, one USB 2.0 on M.2 Socket 1 Key E Connectivity slot and another USB 2.0 port used for the communications with the Intel® Curie
microcontroller), HD Audio and four PCI Express lanes (a PCI express lane is used for the implementation of the Gigabit Ethernet interface, two lanes are carried out
on M.2 Socket 2 Key B SSD slot, the remaining is available on M.2 Socket 1 Key E Connectivity Slot)
Through the Intel® Braswell SoC’s USB interface #3 pass all the communications with the Intel® Curie microcontroller, which implements the Arduino 101
interface: this situation reproduces exactly the situation of an external Arduino board connected to an X86 PC, with the advantages given by an integrated board
solution.
The Intel® Curie microcontroller, however, not only implements the Arduino 101 interface, but also offers an embedded Bluetooth Low Energy interface (with onboard antenna) and 6-axis combo sensor with accelerometer and gyroscope.
All these features, combined together, make UDOO X86 the most powerful maker board ever.

2.3 Electrical specifications
The UDOO X86 board needs to be supplied only with an external 12VDC ± 5% power supply, minimum 36W for basic functionalities
recommended.
This voltage can be supplied through a standard 6.3mm (internal pin, diameter 2.0 mm) Power Jack (CN21). Internal pin is VIN power line.
Mating DC barrel plug: outer diameter 5.5mm, inner diameter 2.1mm.
2.3.1 RTC Battery
For the occurrences when the module is not powered with an external power supply, on board there is a cabled coin Lithium Battery to supply, with a 3V voltage,
the Real Time Clock embedded inside the Intel® SoC.
Battery used is a cabled CR2032-LD Lithium coin-cell battery, with a nominal capacity of 220mAh.
The battery is not rechargeable, and can be connected to the board using dedicated connector CN5 which is a 2-pin
p1.27 mm type MOLEX p/n 53398-0271 or equivalent, with pinout shown in the table on the left.
Mating connector: MOLEX 51021-0200 receptacle with MOLEX 50079-8000 female crimp terminals.
In case of exhaustion, the battery should only be replaced with devices of the same type. Always check the orientation before
inserting and make sure that they are aligned correctly and are not damaged or leaking.
Never allow the batteries to become short-circuited during handling.
Batteries supplied with UDOO X86 are compliant to requirements of European Directive 2006/66/EC regarding batteries and accumulators. When putting out of
order UDOO X86, remove the batteries from the board in order to collect and dispose them according to the requirement of the same European Directive above
mentioned. Even when replacing the batteries, the disposal has to be made according to these requirements.

Independently by the SoC mounted onboard, the following power consumptions are common to all boards:
Battery Backup power consumption: 5.7μA
Soft-Off State power consumption: 53.7mA
Suspend State power consumption: 59.8mA
Please consider that the power consumption depends strongly on the utilization scenario.
For this reasons, it is recommended to use PSU with a minimum power of 36W for basic functionalities
In all the tables contained in this manual, Power rails are named with the following meaning:
_S: Switched voltages, i.e. power rails that are active only when the board is in ACPI’s S0 (Working) state. Examples: +3.3V_S, +5V_S.
_A: Always-on voltages, i.e. power rails that are active both in ACPI’s S0 (Working), S3 (Standby) and S5 (Soft Off) state. Examples: +5V_A, +3.3V_A.
Other suffixes are used for application specific power rails, which are derived from same voltage value of voltage switched rails, if it is not differently stated (for
