Audio

• High Definition Audio Controller and Codec

• Stereo line in and stereo line out

• Available as an option in place of ETH0

Video

• One DVI / HDMI port (DVI0) routed to P2

• One additional DVI / HDMI port (DVI1) is routed to P2

but shares pins with XMCIO – so is only available on

selected variants

SATA

• One SATA ports (SATA0) always available on P1

• Two additional SATA ports (SATA1, SATA2) are routed

to P2 but shares pins with XMCIO – so is only available

on selected variants
