Hardware Principle 4-5
Multifunction FPGA on the back-end of the main board is to implement the
REMOTE port on the IO interface board.
The CPU module implements interfaces including USB, Ethernet and VGA on
the IO interface board
System monitor circuit connects Multifunction FPGA though smbus.
Multifunction FPGA communicates with ARM by serial port to control
transmission high-voltage, and also implements ARM update by serial port.
FPGA on the power supply module implements the system power on/off by the
switch signal.
Standby indicator, AC present indicator and working status indicator on the
control panel are output by FPGA.
The control panel implements communication with CPU module by USB.
The CPU module output the audio signals to the IO interface board..

Figure 4-5 Principle Diagram of IO interface board
IO interface board connects to the main board via connectors in order to implement
the user interface function. Main functions include:
Transfer signals from main board to IO Rear board, control panel, monitor, ECG
board and etc.
Power the display module, DVD-RW, HDD, control panel, ECG board and etc.
Support connections of all signal ports on the IO Rear board.
IO interface board supports signals of Video and S-Video, the two channels of
which are obtained by Multifunction Module including Video Encoder and
Multifunction FPGA.
