It can receive GPS, Galileo, Beidou / Glonass simultaneously for more accurate positioning. But there is no GPS antenna on the board. You need to connect an external antenna to the RF connector CON5006.

HDMI

• The 96Boards specification calls for an HDMI port to be present on the board. The MT6797 doesn’t include a built-in HDMI interface.
• The MediaTek X20 Development Board deploys the built-in DPI interface as the source for the HDMI output. A peripheral Bridge IC (U6502, MT8193) performs this task and it supports a resolution from 480i to 1080p at 30Hz.

MIPI-DSI

• The 96Boards specification calls for a MIPI-DSI implementation via the High Speed Expansion Connector.
• The MediaTek X20 Development Board implements a 4-lane MIPI_DSI interface meeting this requirement. It can support up to FHD(1080p@60fps). The MediaTek X20 Development Board routes the MIPI_DSI interface signals to the DSI-0 interface of the MT6797.

Camera Interface

• The 96Boards specification calls for two camera interfaces.
• The MediaTek X20 Development Board supports two camera interfaces, one with a 4-lane MIPI_CSI interface and one with 2-lane MIPI_CSI interface, meeting this requirement. The 4-lane MIPI_CSI interface can support 25M camera and the 2-lane MIPI_CSI interface can support 8M camera.

USB Ports

The MediaTek X20 Development Board supports a USB device port and three USB host ports via a USB MUX(U6503). The input channel( D+/D-) of USB MUX is connected to the P0 port of the SOC MT6797, and the two output channels(1D+/1D-,2D+/2D-) are connected to micro USB port and USB hub respectively. The three USB host ports are connected to the downstream ports of the USB hub.The control of U6503 is done via a software controlled GPIO (USB_SW_SEL, EINT9 from the SOC MT6797). When this signal is logic low, ‘0’, the USB data lines are routed to the Micro USB connector and the MT6797 P0 port is set to device mode. When ‘USB_SW_SEL’ is logic level high, ‘1’, the USB data lines are routed to U6401 (a 3-port USB HUB) and the MT6797 P0 port is set to host mode. The user can overwrite the software control by sliding switch 3 of dip-switch SW3205 to the ‘ON’ position. That action forces the USB–MUX (U6503) to route the USB data lines to the USB HUB. The overwrite option exists for the host mode only, you cannot hardware overwrite the MUX to force device mode.

USB Host ports

The MediaTek X20 Development Board supports three USB host port via a USB2.0 hub (U6401 USB2513-AEZG). Its upstream signal is connected to USB_P0 interface of MT6797.

• Port 1 of the USB HUB is routed to CON6401, a Type ‘A’ USB Host connector. A current limited controller (U6402) sets the Power Current limit to 1.18A.
• Port 2 of the USB HUB is routed to CON6402, a Type ‘A’ USB Host connector. A current limited controller (U6403) sets the Power Current limit to 1.18A.
• Port 3 of the USB HUB is routed to the High Speed Expansion connector. No current limited controller is implemented on the board for this channel.

USB Device ports

The MediaTek X20 Development Board implements a device port. The port is located at CON6403, a Micro USB type B. It is routed to USB_P0 interface of MT6797.

Note: the board can work in one mode at a time, Host mode or Device mode, not both.

Audio

The MediaTek X20 Development Board has four audio ports: BT, HDMI, PCM and analog port. The analog port which connected to MT6351 includes a stereo handset IO and two analog audio outputs.

DC Power

The MediaTek X20 Development Board can be powered by two ways:

• 8V to 18V supply from a dedicated DC jack(J901)
• 8V to 18V supply from the DC_IN pins on the Low Speed Expansion Connector(CON7001)

PCM/I2S

The 96Boards specification calls for one PCM/I2S bus to be provided on the Low Speed Expansion Connector. The CLK, FS and DO signals are required while the DI is optional. The MediaTek X20 Development Board implements a PCM/I2S interface with 4 wires, CLK, FS, DO and DI. The signals are connected directly to the MT6797 SoC and driven at 1.8V.

Power and Reset

The 96Boards specification calls for a signal on the Low Speed Expansion Connector that can power on/off the board and a signal that serves as a board reset signal. The MediaTek X20 Development Board routes the PWR_BTN_N (named PWRKEY on schematic) signal to the PWRKEY pin of the PMIC MT6351. This signal is driven by SW3201 as well, the on-board power on push-button switch. A mezzanine implementation of this signals should not drive it with any voltage, the only allowed operation is to force it to GND to start the board from a sleep mode. The MediaTek X20 Development Board routes the RST_BTN_N (named SYSRSTB on schematic) signal to the SYSRSTB pin of the PMIC MT6351.

Power Supplies
