Audio Interface

The Intel® ICH8M supports Intel® High Definition Audio (HDA). This HD audio
configuration supports up to four audio streams (with up to 16 channels
each), 32-bit sample depth, and sample rates up to 192 KHz.

With this configuration you can implement hardware CODECs on your baseboard
for 7.1/5.1 audio systems and SDIF output. The pins for the HD audio are
defined in Section 4.1, Pin-Outs.

WARNING:

This feature is only supported with baseboards that have an HD audio

CODEC.

Configuration

The audio controller is in the Intel® ICH8M. The BIOS allocates the required
system resources during configuration.

Serial IRQ

The serial IRQ pin offers a standardized interface to link interrupt request
lines to a single wire.

Configuration

The serial IRQ machine is in “Continuous Mode”.

Graphics Interface

The microETXexpress®-PV uses the Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3150
(Intel® GMA 3150) with a 400 MHz GPU clock for the D410/D510 Atom processors
and 200MHz for the N450 Atom processor. This controller, which is integrated
in the Intel® Atom processor, delivers advanced 3D video capabilities. The

graphics engine supports multiple display types (LVDS, VGA, DVI-I, HDTV, and
CRT), and resolutions up to 2048x1536 VGA mode for the modules with the D510
and D410 processors. Module with the N450 CPU support resolution of
1400x1050.

The GMA uses the processor RAM for graphics memory. The pre-allocated memory
is defined through BIOS settings.
