1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
This document is the Hardware User Guide for the Snapdragon 820 SBC based on the Qualcomm APQ8096
Application processor (without Modem). This board is fully supported by iWave Systems Technologies Pvt. Ltd. This
Guide provides detailed information on the overall design and usage of the Snapdragon 820 SBC from a Hardware
Systems perspective.
1.2 Snapdrgon 820 SBC Overview
A single-board computer (SBC) is a complete computer built on a single circuit board, with microprocessor, memory,
input/output (I/O) and other features required of a functional computer. This concept is an off-the-shelf, Single-
Board-Computer that integrates all the core features of a common PC with form factor 56mm X 50mm.

1.6 Important Note
In this document, wherever APQ8096 CPU signal name is mentioned, it is followed as per below format for easy
understanding.
•If CPU pin has multiplexing option and selected particular function, then the signal name is mentioned as
“Selected Function Name (GPIO Number)”
Example: BLSP8_UART_TX(GPIO_4)
In this signal, BLSP8_UART_TX is the functionality which we are using and GPIO_4 is the GPIO number.
•If CPU pin has multiplexing option and selected as GPIO function, then the signal name is mentioned as
“GPIO_Functionality Description(GPIO Number)”
Example: GPIO_TOUCH_INT(GPIO_125)
In this signal, TOUCH_INT is the GPIO functionality which we are using and GPIO_125 is the GPIO number.
•If CPU pin doesn’t have multiplexing option, then the signal name is mentioned as,
“Function name”
Example: SPMI_CLK
In this signal, functionality which we are using SPMI_CLK
Note: The above naming is not applicable for other signals which are not connected to CPU.
