CONNECTOR X3 SUBSYSTEMS
8.1
VGA Output
The
ETX-P3/C3
graphics subsystem uses a Rage Mobility Graphics Controller from ATI Corp.
The controller is implemented on the AGP bus. It can drive both cathode ray tube (CRT)
monitors and flat-panel displays. The controller comes with an integrated 4MB video RAM.
Some versions of the
ETX-P3/C3
use an 8MB version of the Rage Mobility Graphics
Controller. The larger frame buffer allows the use of larger displays or greater color depths.
The 4MB and 8MB controllers are software-compatible and use the same drivers.

Configuration
The graphics controller requires the following resources:
!
An IRQ
!
Several I/O addresses
!
Memory-address blocks in high memory
BIOS allocates the resources during AGP configuration. Many resources are set for
compatibility with industry-standard settings.
8.2
LVDS Flat Panel Interface (JILI)
The user interface for flat panels is the JUMP
tec
Intelligent LVDS Interface (JILI). The
implementation of this subsystem complies with the
ETX Specification
. Implementation
information is provided in the
ETX Design Guide
. Refer to the documentation on the Kontron
Embedded Modules Web site for additional information.
8.3
Digital Flat Panel Interface (JIDI)
The
ETX-P3/C3
does not support the JUMP
tec
Intelligent Digital Interface (JIDI).
