No GPIO either. I am quite surprised that there are so few x86 boards that expose _native_ GPIO capabilities. Somehow it's more popular to add a companion Arduino-like microcontroller for that (but that type of boards is quite rare too).
- p_l 4y agoIf it's going into industrial computing, then it's not going to ship with on-board GPIO but will probably instead have interface card in its mini-pcie slot that will house a fieldbus controller - or it might even operate fieldbus from its main gigabit NIC. The fieldbus will then connect to relays, DI/DO, AI/AO etc. etc. including complex devices like motor controls, sensors, etc.
- mkl 4y agoIt has a 26-pin D-sub socket labelled "DIO + SMBus", which I can't find much about, but which may serve that purpose.
- friendzis 4y agoDIO should be the same as GPIO in uC world. At quick glance it does seem to provide 8 GPIOs
