Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)

The Serial Peripheral Interface on ICH9M-E SFF can be used to support two compatible

flash devices (U8C1 (or U8B2), U8C4 (or U8C3)). Both the SPI devices supports for

multi-package (SOIC-8 and SOIC-16) device. The SOIC-8 package (U8C1 & U8C4)

would support 16 Mb SPI flashes, while the SOIC-16 package (U8B2 & U8C3) will

support 32Mb or higher SPI flash. Unified BIOS code (BIOS+ IAMT+ LAN) resides in

these two SPI devices.

Note:

Out of the SOIC-8 and SOIC-16 footprints supported on the board only one of these

can be used at a time and on the board the Footprint is arranged one over the other.

By default, U8C1 (16Mb on CS#0) and U8C4 (16Mb on CS#1) will be stuffed.

Note:

SPI programming details are given in Section 2.8.2

3.6.14

Soft Audio/Soft Modem

Intel® High Definition Audio functionality is enabled through the Mott Canyon 4

Daughter Card. ICH9M-E SFF supports 4 Intel® High Definition Audio codecs. All the

four are routed to MDC header through resistor stuffing option. By default Codec 0 & 1

will be connected to MDC Card. An on-board header is provided at J9E2 and J9E4 for

this purpose. No direct connection is provided for the Intel® High Definition Audio

Card on the development board; the Mott Canyon 4 card is required to enable the

Intel® High Definition Audio functionality. See

Appendix A

for more information on

the Mott Canyon 4 card.

The development board supports low voltage (LV) High definition codecs I/O. R8E7,

R8E8 & R7H2, R7H3 resistors are used to select between 3.3V I/O and 1.5VI/O.

SATA Storage

The development board provides four serial ATA (SATA) connectors. One of the four

serial ATA (SATA) connectors is a “direct connect” connector located at J8J1 (port 0

from the ICH9M). The other two serial ATA connectors are “cable connect” connectors

located at J6J3 (port 1 from ICH9M) & J6J2 (port 4 from ICH9M). Also, the

development board supports an eSATA connector located at J7J1 (port 5 of ICH9M).

The eSATA connector is available on the front edge of the board.

Additionally SATA port 4 can be made available at docking connector by stuffing

(C7W2, C7W3, C7V13 and C7V14) and making C7H1, C7H2, C7G9 and C7G8 to “NO

STUFF”.
