LVDS
Low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) is a dual-wire, high-speed
differential electrical signaling system commonly used to connect LCD
displays to a computer.
POST
The Power-on Self Test (POST) is the pre-boot actions the system
performs when the system is turned-on.
RAM
Random Access Memory (RAM) is volatile memory that loses data when
power is lost. RAM has very fast data transfer rates compared to other
storage like hard drives.
SATA
Serial ATA (SATA) is a serial communications bus designed for data
transfers between storage devices and the computer chipsets. The SATA
bus has transfer speeds up to 1.5 Gbps and the SATA II bus has data
transfer speeds of up to 3.0 Gbps.
S.M.A.R.T
Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T) refers to
automatic status checking technology implemented on hard disk drives.
UART
Universal Asynchronous Receiver-transmitter (UART) is responsible for
asynchronous communications on the system and manages the system’s
serial communication (COM) ports.
UHCI
The Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI) specification is a
register-level interface description for USB 1.1 Host Controllers.
USB
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an external bus standard for
interfacing devices. USB 1.1 supports 12Mbps data transfer rates and
USB 2.0 supports 480Mbps data transfer rates.
VGA
The Video Graphics Array (VGA) is a graphics display system developed
by IBM.
