11. I/O EXPANSION & CoM Express SOCKETS
This page describes the expansion sockets & CoM Express connector available on Athena IV.
The functionalities on Athena IV is enhanced by the expansion sockets available on-board. There are two I/O expansion sockets & one CoMEx socket on Athena IV.
The two I/O expansions sockets present on Athena IV are:
PC/104
M.2 SATA
Apart from I/O expansion, Athena IV also hosts a CoM Express AB connector. This connector is used to connect the Type 10 CoMEx Mini CPU module.
The pinout details of these sockets are briefed below.
11.1 PC/104 Expansion Connectors [J1, J2]
The ISA interface on Athena IV is accessed on PC/104 connectors. PC/104 connectors are a combination of two connectors; 2x32 connector & 2x20 connector. The 2x32 connector hosts the 8-bit ISA I/O cards. For added 16-bit ISA I/O support, the 2x20 connector is used. Athena IV supports interrupts, 8-bit & 16-bit transactions on the ISA bus.
The PC/104 connectors are press-fit stack through connectors. The ISA I/O cards can be either mounted on the top or the bottom. However, the ISA I/O are recommended to be mounted on the bottom side. This is to avoid blocking airflow over the top-side heat sink on Athena IV.
The 64-pin connector incorporates the 8-bit bus connector signals, and the 40-pin header incorporates the 36-pin 16-bit bus connector signals.
The resources available for external ISA cards are provided below:
Available ISA Address Ranges: 0x100 - 17F, 0x200 - 0x28F, 0x300 - 0x37F
Available ISA IRQs: 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15
Pinouts are as shown below:
Connector PN: J1; EPT# 962-60323-12, J2; EPT# 962-60203-12
11.2 M.2 SATA [J10]
Athena IV provides an M-Keyed 2230 size socket for storage applications. Pinouts are as shown below:
NOTE: The NC pins are not connected on Athena IV.
Connector PN: MDT320M03001
11.3 CoM Express Module [J18]
A 220-pin connector is used to mount the CoMEx CPU module. Pinouts are as shown below:
