Edge Gateway I/O Module GPIO Mapping
The GPIOs on the external I/O Module for the Edge Gateway are behind PIC microcontroller. The PIC microcontroller is exposed to
the host system and to the host OS as a USB-HID device. Software applications developed to communicate with the GPIOs may
use the protocol defined in the following set of references to communicate with the GPIO modules.
Edge Gateway I/O Module PCIe expansion mapping
The PCIe slot on the external I/O module for the Edge Gateway are driven directly from the host PCIe bus. Since it is generic PCIe
expansion there are no PCIe device specific drivers integrated into the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB 2015 OS image. If there are
specific PCIe card used on this slot, contact the vendor of that PCIe card to verify if they have Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB
2015 drivers.
