Connector J7 provides 16 digital I/O lines from the Vortex CPU. These lines are buffered and have ESD protection to protect the CPU from potential damage. The buffers enable the direction to be programmed in 8-bit groups, using two additional GPIO lines from the Vortex processor. The direction may be set in the BIOS or by programming the CPU I/O control registers.
