Connecting a flat panel display
Due to the varied selection of available flat panels, the XE–700 SBC is factory
configured and programmed for a VGA/SVGA/XVGA CRT monitor. If you are using
a flat panel, you must reprogram the video BIOS with the appropriate flat panel
driver. To reprogram your video BIOS refer to
Programming the video BIOS
in this
chapter. Note that 3V flat panels are supported through the connector, while 5V
panels require an alternate power source.
The Octagon CD-ROM \700\BIOS subdirectory contains text files for each of the
supported flat panels. These text files include wiring diagrams specific to
individual flat panels. Refer to the specific text file associated with your flat panel
to build an interface cable. Flat panel displays are connected using a 40-pin
connector at J5.
Table 10–2 shows the pinout for the connector for flat panels.
