GPIO Pinout

The ROCK 2F is supplied with a 40pin pin GPIO Header that is compatible with most sensor applications on the market.

** Actual compatibility is subject to usage. **

• The ROCK 2F has a 40-pin expansion connector. Each pin is color coded.

USB Function Configuration on 40-Pin

On the ROCK 2F's 40-Pin interface, the following pins can be configured for USB 2.0:

• USB1_DM: Pin number 28, resistor location R2417.
• USB1_DP: Pin number 27, resistor location R2416.

By default, Pin-27 can be configured in software for functions such as GPIO4_A2 (see 40-Pin Pinout), while the USB1_DP signal is not activated on the hardware. Pin-28 can be configured in software for functions such as GPIO4_A3 (see 40-Pin Pinout), and the USB1_DM signal is also not activated on the hardware. To change these pins to USB functions, please follow the steps below to modify the reserved resistors:

• Remove the 0-ohm resistors at R2406 and R2407.
• Solder 0-ohm resistors at R2416 and R2417.
