Using the audio features
There are four audio interfaces supported on the VIPER: amp out, line out, line in and
microphone. The line in, line out and amp interfaces support stereo signals and the
microphone provides a mono input. The amplified output is suitable for driving an 8
Ω
load with a maximum power output of 250mW per channel. Connections are routed to
PL6 - see the sections

Using the USB host
The standard USB connector is a 4-way socket, which provides power and data
signals to the USB peripheral. The 10-way header PL7 has been designed to be
compatible with PC expansion brackets that support two USB sockets. See the

The SMSC LAN91C111 10/100BaseTX Ethernet controller is configured by the
RedBoot bootloader for embedded Linux or VxWorks, and by Eboot for Windows CE.
Connection is made via connector PL1. A second connector PL2 provides activity and
link status outputs for control LEDs. See the sections
