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.

3.1 Introduction
On UDOO X86 board, there are several connectors located on the upper plane. Standard connectors are placed on the same side of PCB, so that it is possible to
place them on a panel of an eventual enclosure.
On board, there is a Gigabit Ethernet connector, for the direct
connection of the UDOO X86 module to a wired LAN.
The Ethernet connection is managed by a dedicated Realtek RTL8111G
Gigabit Ethernet controller, interfaced to PCI-express port #2.
This interface is compatible both with Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbps) and
with Fast Ethernet (10/100Mbps) Networks. They will configure automatically to work with the
existing network.
Please be aware that it will work in Gigabit mode only in case that it is connected to Gigabit
Ethernet switches/hubs/routers. For the connection, cables category Cat5e or better are
required. Cables category Cat6 are recommended for noise reduction and EMC compatibility issues, especially when the length of the cable is significant.
GBE_MDI0+/GBE_MDI0-: Ethernet Controller Media Dependent Interface (MDI) I/O differential pair #0. It is the first differential pair in Gigabit Ethernet mode, and the
Transmit differential pair in 10/100 Mbps modes.
GBE_MDI1+/GBE_MDI1-: Ethernet Controller Media Dependent Interface (MDI) I/O differential pair #1. It is the second differential pair in Gigabit Ethernet mode, and
the Receive differential pair in 10/100 Mbps modes.
GBE_MDI2+/GBE_MDI2-: Ethernet Controller Media Dependent Interface (MDI) I/O differential pair #2. It is the third differential pair in Gigabit Ethernet mode; it is not
used in 10/100Mbps modes.

The Intel® Braswell family of SoCs used on UDOO X86 board can manage up to four USB SuperSpeed (i.e., USB 3.0 compliant) ports and five High Speed (i.e.
USB 2.0 compliant) ports. There is only one dedicated High Speed port, the other four ports are shared with the SuperSpeed ports, i.e. they can be used either by
USB 2.0 or USB 3.0.
The USB 3.0 ports #0 and #1 are available on two single USB connectors, CN6 and
CN7, placed on the same side of the PCB (“Frontal”), while USB 3.0 port #2 is available
on USB connector CN8 placed on the opposite side (“Rear”). “Rear” and “Frontal” terms
are used considering a possible application of this board with an enclosure). The
connectors used are standard USB 3.0 type-A receptacles.
Since these connectors are standard type-A receptacle, they can be connected to all types of USB 1.1
/ USB 2.0 / USB 3.0 devices using standard-A USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 plugs.
For USB 3.0 connections it is mandatory the use of SuperSpeed certified cables, whose SuperSpeed
differential pairs are individually shielded inside the global cable’s external shielding.

HPD: Hot Plug Detect Input signal. +3.3V_S electrical level signal with 100kΩ pull-down resistor
For ESD protection, on all data and voltage lines are placed clamping diodes for voltage transient suppression.
Always use HDMI-certified cables for the connection between the board and the HDMI display; a category 2 (High-Speed) cable is recommended for higher
resolutions, category 1 cables can be used for 720p resolution.
SDA: DDC Data line for HDMI panel. Bidirectional signal, electrical level +5V
pull-up resistor.
SCL: DDC Clock line for HDMI panel. Output signal, electrical level +5V
On the UDOO X86 board, the Digital Display Interfaces #1 and #2 are used to
implement a multimode Display Port (DP++)interface, i.e. it can be used to support
DP displays directly and, through an external adapter, also HDMI or
DVI displays.
Such an interface is available on as many miniDP connectors, type
Pulse Electronics p/n E9320-001-01 or equivalent, with the pinout
shown in the table on the left.
The configuration of this interface in DP or HDMI/DVI mode is automatic, and it is
driven by the CAD signals available on pin 4.
When a DP cable is connected, then the CAD signal is not connected; this interface
will recognize it, and on pins 16/18 there will be the Display Port Auxiliary channel
signals. Instead, when a DP-to-HDMI adapter is mounted, it will drive opportunely
the CAD signal, which will make available HDMI_CTRL_CLK and HDMI_CTRL_DAT
signals on the same pins.
Further signals involved in DP management are the following:
DPx_LANE0+/DPx_LANE0-: Display Port differential pair #0.
DPx_LANE1+/DPx_LANE1-: Display Port differential pair #1.
DPx_LANE2+/DPx_LANE2-: Display Port differential pair #2.
DPx_LANE3+/DPx_LANE3-: Display Port differential pair #3.
DPx_HPD: Hot Plug Detect Input signal.
HDMIx_CEC: HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) Line. This signal is used
only for HDMI compatibility when a HDMI adapter is connected to the DP connector.

The SoCs used on UDOO X86 module offer a SD 3.0 compliant interface, that can be used to implement another mass storages media other than the optional
internal eMMC and the two SATA interfaces.
This SD interface is carried to a standard μSD card slot (CN17), soldered on top side of the module, push-push type.
3.3.8 S-ATA connectors
The N-series Intel® Pentium® / Celeron® and x5-Series Atom SoCs embed a SATA Controller, which offers two SATA
III, 6.0 Gbps interfaces.
Of these interfaces, one SATA channel is carried out to a standard male S-ATA connector, CN18 (the
other SATA channel is available on the M.2 Key B socket, CN20, please check par. 3.3.9).
Here following the signals related to SATA interface:
SATA1_TX+/SATA1_TX-: Serial ATA Channel #1 Transmit differential pair
SATA1_RX+/SATA1_RX-: Serial ATA Channel #1 Receive differential pair
10nF AC series decoupling capacitors are placed on each line of SATA differential pairs.
3.3.9 M.2 SATA/PCI-e Slot: Socket 2 Key B type 2242/3042/2260
The mass storage capabilities of the UDOO X86 are
completed by an M.2 SSD Slot, which allow plugging M.2
Socket 2 Key B Solid State Drives with SATA interface or
PCI-e x2 interface (PCI-e x1 is also supported).
The connector used for the M.2 SATA/PCI-e slot is CN20,
which is a standard 75 pin M.2 Key B connector, type
LOTES p/n APCI0087-P001A, H=8.5mm, with the pinout
shown in the table on the left.
On the UDOO X86 board there is also a Threaded Spacer
which allows the placement of M.2 Socket 2 Key B
SATA/PCI-e modules in 2260 size.
It is possible to place also modules in 2242 or 3042 size, by using a M/F Spacer which
allows fixing the M.2 module on the spacer already available on the PCB, deemed for the
fixing of the M.2 connectivity slot (see next paragraph)
Here following the signals related to the SATA interface:
SATA0_Tx+/SATA0_Tx-: Serial ATA Channel #0 Transmit differential pair
SATA0_Rx+/SATA0_Rx-: Serial ATA Channel #0 Receive differential pair

necessary to switch between the S-ATA and the PCI-e signals on the pins 41/43/47/49 of
connector CN20. When CONFIG_1 signal is high, then PCI-e x 2 interface is available on
connector CN20. When the signal is driven low, then SATA interface will be available. The
selection is automatic, since according to M.2 specifications for Socket2 SSD modules,
CONFIG_1 signal must be low for SSD based modules and high for PCI-e based modules.
The PCI-e x2 interface can be used also for different purposes other than SSD modules, but it
is important that the CONFIG_1 signal is driven properly (it can be left unconnected on PCI-e
based modules, due to the presence of the pull-up resistor on the platform).

As a separated accessory, it is available an M.2 Dual Network Set, so composed:
An M.2 2260 module, which embeds a PCI-e packet switch. It virtually separates the PCI-e x2 Port, coming from the
UDOO X86 board (through M.2 Slot CN20), into two separated PCI-e ports, each one used specifically to manage a Gigabit
Ethernet controller. The Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, coming from the controllers, are then carried to a connector type HR
A1014WVA-S-2x15P or equivalent (2 x 15p, male, straight, P1, low profile, polarised).
A daughter-board, which mounts a connector identical to that available on the main M.2 module and two RJ-45 Gigabit
Ethernet connectors with integrated transformer.
Twisted pairs connecting cable, to connect the M.2 module with the daughter-board.
When this accessory is plugged into M.2 slot CN20, the UDOO X86 board will offer three different Gigabit Ethernet ports.
