Description

GPP_​E13 / SBK0 / BK0

OD

Blink BK 0: This function provides the blink (or PWM) capability. The blink/PWM frequency and duty cycle is programmable through the PWM Control register. Refer to Volume 2 for details.
GPP_​E14 / SBK1 / BK1

OD

Blink BK 1: This function provides the blink (or PWM) capability. The blink/PWM frequency and duty cycle is programmable through the PWM Control register. Refer to Volume 2 for details.
GPP_​E15 / SBK2 / BK2

OD

Blink BK 2: This function provides the blink (or PWM) capability. The blink/PWM frequency and duty cycle is programmable through the PWM Control register. Refer to Volume 2 for details.
GPP_​E16 / SBK3 / BK3

OD

Blink BK 3: This function provides the blink (or PWM) capability. The blink/PWM frequency and duty cycle is programmable through the PWM Control register. Refer to Volume 2 for details.
GPP_​G2 / DNX_​FORCE_​RELOAD

I

Download and Execute (DnX):Intel® CSME ROM samples this pin any time ROM begins execution. This includes the following conditions:

  • G3 Exit.
  • Sx, Moff Exit.
  • Cold Reset(Host Reset with Power Cycle) Exit.
  • Warm Reset(Host Reset without Power Cycle) Exit if Intel® CSME was shutdown in Warm Reset.
  • 0 => No DnX; 1=> Enter DnX mode Notes:
    • The internal pull-down is enabled on the pin.

    • If the pin is used for GPP_​G2, the pin must not be pulled HIGH until SLP-S3# has been de-asserted.

GPP_​E0 / SATAXPCIE0 / SATAGP0

I

SATA port 0 or PCIe port mux select : This is used to select SATA/PCIe function to support implementations like SATA Express or mSATA.
GPP_​E1 / SATAXPCIE1 / SATAGP1

I

SATA port 1 or PCIe port mux select : This is used to select SATA/PCIe function to support implementations like SATA Express or mSATA.
GPP_​E13 / SBK0 / BK0

OD

Serial Blink SBK 0: This function provides the capability to serialize POST or other messages on the pin to a serial monitor. The Serial Blink message is programmed through the Serial Blink Command/Status and Serial Blink Data registers. Refer to Volume 2 for details.
GPP_​E14 / SBK1 / BK1

OD

Serial Blink SBK 1: This function provides the capability to serialize POST or other messages on the pin to a serial monitor. The Serial Blink message is programmed through the Serial Blink Command/Status and Serial Blink Data registers. Refer to Volume 2 for details.
GPP_​E15 / SBK2 / BK2

OD

Serial Blink SBK 2: This function provides the capability to serialize POST or other messages on the pin to a serial monitor. The Serial Blink message is programmed through the Serial Blink Command/Status and Serial Blink Data registers. Refer to Volume 2 for details.
GPP_​E16 / SBK3 / BK3

OD

Serial Blink SBK 3: This function provides the capability to serialize POST or other messages on the pin to a serial monitor. The Serial Blink message is programmed through the Serial Blink Command/Status and Serial Blink Data registers. Refer to Volume 2 for details.
GPP_​H23 / TIME_​SYNC0

I

Time Synchronization GPIO 0: Timed GPIO event for time synchronization for interfaces that do not support time synchronization natively.
GPP_​B1 / GSPI1_​CS1# / TIME_​SYNC1

I

Time Synchronization GPIO 1: Timed GPIO event for time synchronization for interfaces that do not support time synchronization natively.
