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_​F19/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 shut down in Warm Reset.
  • 0 => No DnX; 1 => Enter DnX Mode.

Note:This pin must not be sampled high at the sampling time for normal operation.
GPP_​E00/SATAXPCIE0/SATAGP0

I

SATA port 0 or PCIe port mux select : This pin can be used as a SATA/PCIE mux selector with the polarity (SATA or PCIe) controlled by soft-strap. SATAXPCIE native function mode is also determined by soft strap.
GPP_​E01/SATAXPCIE1/SATAGP1

I

SATA port 1 or PCIe port mux select : This pin can be used as a SATA/PCIE mux selector with the polarity (SATA or PCIe) controlled by soft-strap. SATAXPCIE native function mode is also determined by soft strap.
GPP_​E02/SATAXPCIE2/SATAGP2

I

SATA port 2 or PCIe port mux select : This pin can be used as a SATA/PCIE mux selector with the polarity (SATA or PCIe) controlled by soft-strap. SATAXPCIE native function mode is also determined by soft strap.
GPP_​F00/SATAXPCIE3/SATAGP3

I

SATA port 3 or PCIe port mux select : This pin can be used as a SATA/PCIE mux selector with the polarity (SATA or PCIe) controlled by soft-strap. SATAXPCIE native function mode is also determined by soft strap.
GPP_​F01/SATAXPCIE4/SATAGP4

I

SATA port 4 or PCIe port mux select : This pin can be used as a SATA/PCIE mux selector with the polarity (SATA or PCIe) controlled by soft-strap. SATAXPCIE native function mode is also determined by soft strap.
GPP_​F02/SATAXPCIE5/SATAGP5

I

SATA port 5 or PCIe port mux select : This pin can be used as a SATA/PCIE mux selector with the polarity (SATA or PCIe) controlled by soft-strap. SATAXPCIE native function mode is also determined by soft strap.
GPP_​F03/SATAXPCIE6/SATAGP6

I

SATA port 6 or PCIe port mux select : This pin can be used as a SATA/PCIE mux selector with the polarity (SATA or PCIe) controlled by soft-strap. SATAXPCIE native function mode is also determined by soft strap.
GPP_​F04/SATAXPCIE7/SATAGP7

I

SATA port 7 or PCIe port mux select : This pin can be used as a SATA/PCIE mux selector with the polarity (SATA or PCIe) controlled by soft-strap. SATAXPCIE native function mode is also determined by soft strap.
GPP_​E13/SBK0/BK0

OD

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.
