Internal USB Host 

USB Host 0 supports the USB 2.0 specification operating at high (480 Mbps), full (12 Mbps), or low 

(1.5 Mbps) speeds; however, this port does not include power management.  These USB signals route 

directly from the SCH US15W to header 

J35

, pag

36

.  Use this port to connect to devices internal to 

your system. 

USB Client (optional USB Host) 

Header 

J26

, page 

35

  supports a  USB 2.0 client port.  USB client devices are self-powered or can 

receive power from the host computer.  Since the USB cable does not power the Vector, it does not 

need a power input.  However, the USB input power is used to sense when a USB cable is connected. 
 

 

Notes: 

This port can function as an additional USB host port using an external adapter.  If your 

application requires a USB host port in place of the USB client port, contact your local 

Eurotech sales representative for additional information. 

 

On the development kit, the USB Client port is disabled by default and can be enabled using 

the BIOS setup utility.  For details about changing the BIOS settings, see the Vector 

Development Kit Quick Start (Eurotech document # 110124-7001). 

Serial Ports 

The Vector provides one serial port on header 

J27

, page 

35

  and an optional second serial port on 

header 

J34

, pag

36

.  Each serial port supports baud rates from 300 bps to 1.2 Mbps.  By default, 

these ports are configured as 5-wire, EIA-232 serial ports.  As an alternate configuration, each serial 

port can operate in EIA-485  mode.  This configuration requires software support for EIA-485 mode 

including control of the SMBus  GPIO signals, GPIO00  and  GPIO03, which  select the mode of 

operation. 
 
The serial port enable is also software-controlled using the SMBus GPIO04.  This signal enables or 

disables  both serial ports.  For details about these control signals, see 

System Management I/O

page 

21

. 

 

 

Notes: 

The on-board touch panel controller and second serial port share a serial interface; 

therefore, these functions are mutually exclusive.  Selection of the function is set at time of 

production.  In the default configuration, the touch panel controller is selected and header 

J34 is not populated. 

 

On the development kit, Serial Port 1 is disabled by default and can be enabled using the 

BIOS setup utility.  The mode of operation for the serial port can also be changed using this 

utility.  For details about changing the BIOS settings, see the Vector Development Kit Quick 

Start (Eurotech document # 110124-7001). 

Mini PCIe Expansion Slot 

The Vector provides a Mini PCI Express (PCIe) expansion slot on 

J33

, page 

36

supporting off-the-

shelf, third-party peripherals.  This expansion slot includes a PCIe x 1 bus, USB host port, SMBus, 

control signals, and LED indicators. 
 

 

Notes: 

The Mini PCIe expansion slot and on-board SATA controller share a PCIe bus from the Intel 

SCH US15W through an on-board PCIe multiplexer; therefore, these functions are mutually 

exclusive.  The multiplexer is software-controlled using the SMBus GPIO13 signal. 

 

In the default setting, SATA is enabled and the PCIe bus is not available on J33.  However, 

the USB host port and SMBus are available for use supporting USB-only cards. 

 

On the development kit, this default setting can be changed using the BIOS setup utility.  For 

details about changing the BIOS settings, see the Vector Development Kit Quick Start 

(Eurotech document # 110124-7001).
