In addition to the two mini-DIN USB2.0 ports (USB_0/1) on the front I/O panel, the EITX-3000 also provides one 12-pin (2x6-pin) onboard pin headers for USB_2/3, and one 10-pin (2x5-pin) onboard pin headers for USB_4/5. USB_2/3 pin connector The USB_2/3 interface can only be accessed through pin 1 ~ 10 of the 12-pin (2x6-pin) USB pin-header. The adapter cable is required in order to use a standard USB connector.
USB_4/5 pin connector The USB_4/5 interface can be accessed through the 10-pin USB pin-header. It also requires an adapter cable in order to use two standard USB connectors.
LPT pin connector The LPT port is used to connect the board to a printer. The board includes a multi-mode (EPP+ECP/ECP/EPP/SPP) parallel port accessed via an onboard 26-pin flat-cable connector. An adapter cable is required in order to use a traditional DB-25 connector. The adapter cable has a 26-pin (2x13-pin) female connector on one end, and a DB-25 connector on the other end. The parallel port is designated as LPT. The parallel port interrupt channel is designated to be IRQ7.
Digital I/O pin connector: DIO The board supports 8-bit Digital I/O (GPIO) through the DIO pinheader. The 8 digital inputs and outputs can be programmed to read or control devices, with input or output defined. The default setting is 4 bits input and 4 bits output.

3 Onboard Jumpers 37
The EITX-3000 mainboard provides jumpers for setting some mainboard functions. This section will explain how to change the settings of the mainboard functions using the jumpers. CLEAR_CMOS: CLEAR CMOS JUMPER The onboard CMOS RAM stores system configuration data and has an onboard battery power supply. To reset the CMOS settings, set the jumper on pin 2 and 3 while the system is off. Return the jumper to pin 1 and 2 afterwards. Setting the jumper while the system is on will damage the mainboard.
AT/ATX POWER MODE SELECT The EITX-3000 supports two kinds of power modes: ATX (default) and AT. The ATX mode requires a standby power connection and a power supply on signal to turn on the main power supply. The AT mode does not require a standby power connection but needs to be connected to ground to boot up properly. The power mode can be set by changing the jumper position on the 5-pin AT/ATX pin header. Default setup support ATX mode.
PVDD1_SEL: LCD POWER JUMPER The EITX-3000 Em-ITX SBC provides an onboard jumper named “PVDD1_SEL” for setting the LCD signal power to either 5V or 3.3V for LVDS1 and PANEL interface connectors. When connecting the LVDS LCD Panel display to LVDS1 or PANEL, the setting of PVDD1_SEL must match the power requirements of the connected LVDS Panel display. The default setting of PVDD1_SEL is 3.3V Setting 1 2 3 +3.
PVDD2_SEL: LCD POWER JUMPER The EITX-3000 Em-ITX SBC provides an onboard jumper named “PVDD2_SEL” for setting the LCD signal power to either 5V or 3.3V . When connecting the LVDS LCD Panel display to LVDS2, the setting of PVDD2_SEL must match the power requirements of the connected LVDS Panel display. The default setting of PVDD2_SEL is 3.3V Setting 1 2 3 +3.
RST: SYSTEM RESET JUMPER To restart the hardware, momentarily close the jumper of the 2-pin reset pin-header.

B EM-IO : Embedded IO Expansion Bus Interface 87
INTRODUCTION The Flexible Embedded Board with Em-IO Expansion For embedded system developers, flexibility in I/O configurations is necessary in order to meet diverse embedded applications. It is important for developers to reduce development costs, risks, and time. The EITX-3000 is an Em-ITX form factor single board computer that enables developers to design a system with solid performance and comprehensive I/O’s using its onboard Em-IO expansion bus.
Modularized Expansion of Em-IO Interface The Em-IO interface connector is an open bus interface initiated by VIA at the end of 2008. The Em-IO integrates popular bus signals, including USB2.0, GPIO, LPC, PCI Express, VIA Digital Video Port interface Signals, ACPI 3.0 and 3.3V/5V/12V DC Power Signals. The Em-IO interface connector enables Em-IO expansion modules to be attached to Em-ITX form factor board to further reduces troublesome cabling issues that are usually encountered when designing systems.
EM-IO CONNECTOR PIN DEFINITION Em-IO connector Pin definition The Em-IO expansion bus interface uses the Samtec Q STRIP QSE Series 160-pin socket (Samtec part number of QSE-080-001-F-D-A).
