LCD (LVDS/eDP)
The conga-TC87 offers an LVDS/eDP interface on the AB connector. The LVDS/eDP interface is by default configured to provide LVDS signals.
The interface can optionally be switched via the BIOS setup menu to support eDP signals.
The single/dual channel LVDS interface is provided through an onboard eDP to LVDS bridge device. The eDP to LVDS bridge processes
incoming DisplayPort stream and converts the DP protocol to LVDS, before transmitting the processed stream in LVDS format. The bridge
supports single and dual channel signalling with color depths of 18 bits or 24 bits per pixel and pixel clock frequency up to 112 MHz.
Note
The LVDS/eDP interface supports either LVDS or eDP signals. Both signals are not supported simultaneously.

General Purpose Serial Interface
Two TTL compatible two wire ports are available on Type 6 COM Express modules. These pins are designated SER0_TX, SER0_RX, SER1_TX
and SER1_RX. Data out of the module is on the _TX pins. Hardware handshaking and hardware flow control are not supported. The module
asynchronous serial ports are intended for general purpose use and for use with debugging software that make use of the “console redirect”
features available in many operating systems.
The conga-TC87 offers two UART interfaces via two UART controllers integrated in the congatec Board Controller. These controllers support
up to 1MBit/s and can operate in low-speed, full-speed and high-speed modes. The UART interfaces are routed to the AB connector and
require congatec driver to function..
Note
The UART interfaces do not support legacy COM port emulation.
