Figure 26-1

shows the location of the GPIO expansion port connector X14. This connector provides a 1:1 mapping of most of the phyCORE-AM3517 mating connector X15 signals. Additional signals generated on the Carrier Board are also routed to the GPIO expansion port connector X14. As an accessory, a GPIO

Expansion Board (part # PCM-988) is made available through PHYTEC to mate with the X14 connector on the phyCORE-AM3517 Carrier Board. This Expansion Board provides a patch field for easy access to all signals, plus additional board space for testing and prototyping. A summary of the signal mappings

between X14, X15, and the patch field on the GPIO Expansion Board is provided in Part III .
