|
|
A) 256-MBytes on-board DDR2 unbuffered SDRAM
|
B) 8-Mbytes NOR Flash
|
C) 32-MBytes NAND Flash
|
D) 1 Secure Digital High Speed Card (SDHC) Interface
|
E) 1 Gigabit Ethernet
|
F) 5-port Ethernet switch (Vitesse 7385)
|
G) 1 32-bit, 3.3 V, PCI slot
|
H) 1 32-bit, 3.3 V, Mini-PCI slot
|
I) 4-port USB 2.0 Hub
|
J) 1-port OTG USB
|
K) 2 serial ports (top main console)
|
L) on board Oscillator: 66M
