4Hardware Description
This chapter describes the hardware Features, include switch, jumper, connector and PIN
function
The interface description ought to consult the connector sketch map. And attach
necessary message such as picture. Indicate the figure, PIN1 and match jack
4.1 Identify connector
This section describes how to find the position of connector and PIN1 on
SBCQ7-MX6Q-COMBI single computer board.
4.1.1 Position of connector
As Figure 3.2 show the main part and connector position of SBCQ7-MX6Q-COMBI.
4.1.2 Confirm the pin direction
There is the pin number order in all Vantron’s
product, this picture at right indicate each pin’s
number, that message as show on the top
side(component side) of main board. on double row
connector, one side is naming odd number and another
side is naming even number. Please according to below method to confirm the Pin1 of
connector and jumper:
1. Usually, there is any number and mark at side ofconnector in main board, such as
trigonal mark, dot and number “1” all indicate the pin1 of connector
2. About the hole connector, you can see pin number on the reversed side
3. Download the SBCQ7-MX6Q mechanism from Vantron technology sustain or Vantron
net site: www.vantrontech.com
4.2 Switch, Buttons, Jumpers, LEDs
