2.5.2.2 CompactFlash® Slot
The CompactFlash® slot on the eKINO-945GSE is interfaced through the IDE interface on
the Intel® ICH7M Southbridge. The CompactFlash® slot is shown in
Figure 2-5.
2.5.3 Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface
The Intel® ICH7M LPC interface complies with the LPC 1.1 specifications. The LPC bus
from the Intel® ICH7M is connected to the following components:
BIOS chipset
Super I/O chipset
2.5.4 PCI Bus
The PCI interface on the Intel® ICH7M is compliant with the PCI Revision 2.3
implementation. Some of the features of the PCI interface are listed below.
PCI Revision 2.3 compliant
33 MHz
5 V tolerant PCI signals (except PME#)
Integrated PCI arbiter supports up to seven PCI bus masters
2.5.4.1 PCI Expansion Card Slot
The PCI interface is connected directly to the PCI expansion card slot on the
eKINO-945GSE. The location of the PCI expansion card slot is shown in
Figure 2-5.
