Video Interfaces
The Intel Atom E38xx processor series contains an integrated graphics engine with advanced
2D/3D graphics, video decode and encode capabilities, and a display controller. The Osprey
provides the following video interfaces:
One Mini Disp+ connector
One LVDS display connector; a 4-pin LVDS backlight connector is also provided
Mini Disp+ Connector
DisplayPort consists of three interfaces:
Main Link – transfers high-speed isochronous video and audio data
Auxiliary channel – used for link management and device control; the EDID is read over this
interface
Hot Plug Detect – indicates that a cable is plugged in
The DisplayPort interface supports:
Audio signaling
DP++ mode allowing connection to an HDMI device through a passive adapter. “Passive”
means that the adapter does not require external power (because it uses the DP port’s 3.3 V
power) and it does not require software drivers.
Figure 21 shows the location of the 20-pin Mini Disp+connector. Table 10 lists the
pinout of the Mini Disp+ connector.
