2.2 Power Connectors
The SOM-210 provides two power connectors. HDR4 is a standard PC Floppy disk power connector, four-pin
type connector that mates with standard Floppy disk drive power connector. Using this power input provides for a
more rugged/industrial locking connection. JK4 is a standard 5.5mm barrel jack with an inner diameter of 2.1mm
with a center V+ connection. This jack allows for easy connection to a wall mount power supply (EMAC part
number PER-PWR-00032). The SOM-210’s power input uses a switching regulator and allows a voltage input of
+5V DC.
The pinout for the J1 power connector is as follows:
Pin Signal
1 +5V DC
2 Chassis GND
3 Chassis GND
4 +12V DC (unused)
2.3 Ethernet
The SOM-210 provides 10/100 Base-T full duplex Ethernet and uses a standard RJ-45 connector. It can be
connected straight to a hub, or another computer via a crossover Ethernet cable. The Ethernet MAC & PHY are
integrated into the SoM processor module. Activity and Link LEDs are integrated into the RJ45 connector.
2.4 Serial Ports
The SOM-210 is equipped with three serial ports, all of which terminate to 10pin header connectors (see table 2,
3, & 4 below). Three 10-pin header to male DB9 connector cables are provided, giving easy access to these
ports. Baud Rate, stop bits, etc. are all programmable for each port via software.
COM A is an RS232 compatible port with a full complement of handshaking lines allowing it to communicate with
modems and other devices requiring hardware flow control.
COM B is an RS232 port. This port offers the RTS and CTS handshake lines.
COM C can be configured to RS232, RS422, and RS485 via 4 software controlled port pins (see table 1 below).
To select RS232 set SoM pin 113 & 120 Low and pin 118 & 119 High (this is the default). For RS422 set SoM pin
113 & 120 High and pin 118 & 119 Low. To select RS485, selectively set SoM pin 113 & 119 as required while
keeping pin 118 Low.
When using COM C in the RS422/485 mode, a terminating resistor (~120 Ohm) is recommended on the two far
ends of the network.

2.5 USB Host Ports
The SOM-210 provides two, USB 2.0 full speed host ports. USB PortA and PortB can be accessed from the on-
board USB connectors JK3 and JK2.
All of the USB ports are equipped with 500mA re-settable Polyfuses. If a USB Device tries to draw more than
500mA from the port, the fuse will open until the device is unplugged or its current requirement is reduced. There
is no software provision for shutting down power to the Ports or detecting when a port is drawing too much
current.
Note: When sizing a power supply, make sure to allow for USB Device consumption. A device can potentially
draw 500mA, therefore these devices could use a total of up to 1 amp of power.
2.6 Audio Port (option on Rev1 and greater boards)
The SOM-210 provides Audio Line Out and Line In capability through a 10-pin 2mm header. A special cable
converts the signals present on the header to two miniature audio jacks. The processor interfaces to the Audio
CODEC through its I2S interface. Command control of the CODEC is done using the processor’s SPI interface.
The CODEC is the Cirrus CS4271, which is a high performance 24-bit Stereo CODEC offering superior sound
quality.
Both the input and output are line level. You will probably not be able to drive an unamplified speaker although
standard headphones will work. Likewise, an un-amplified microphone probably will not work as an input although
the line out of a CD player will work.
2.7 LCD Brightness Control
The SOM-210 offers LCD brightness control that can change the brightness of the LCD via software. The LCD
utilizes LED backlighting. The board provides the backlight with approximately 33 volts at about 20mA. The
processor provides a PWM that is used to drive the LCD backlight. Changing the duty-cycle of the PWM directly
affects the brightness of the LCD. In addition, the backlight can be turned off by reducing the PWM rate to 0. This
allows screensaver software to automatically turn off the backlight when the unit is not being used and to
automatically turn it back on when the touchscreen is touched.
2.8 MicroSD Card Socket
The SOM-210 provides a high capacity MicroSD socket. This socket is hot-swappable and can accept a wide
variety of Flash Cards. A green activity light (LED LD2) is located towards the left side of the socket. When the
processor is accessing the Flash card this LED will be lit and the card should not be removed at this time. A card
that is written to by the SOM-210 can be read by another computer using an MicroSD card reader. The MicroSD
interface is compatible with Standard and High Capacity MicroSD cards.
2.9 Keyboard/Mouse
The SOM-210 does not provide a PS/2 type keyboard/mouse interface. However, a USB keyboard and mouse
can be used if required.
2.10 Analog Inputs
The analog inputs are available on HDR2 (see table 5 below) and are labeled as analog_04, analog_05,
analog_06 and analog_07. These may or may not be supported by the SoM plugged into this carrier.
2.11 I/O Expansion
The Processor used by the SOM-210 provides a number of unused I/O lines. The SOM-210 provides access to
these lines on connector HDR2. This 30-pin dual row header contains GPIO lines, SPI bus, I2C bus, A/D lineS,
interrupts and power pins. Signal names listed in the table below are the SoM names as defined in the SoM 200
pin specification.
