For this purpose, the Intel® Atom™ Processor E6XX Series SOCs are used, with platform expansion through an interface device known as a platform controller hub.
As an embedded systems programmer, you should be able to read schematics for the platform you are operating on. You probably don’t need to understand the detailed clocking or power control aspects of the design, but at a minimum you must understand the platform at a block level: which interfaces are used to connect devices, which GPIO pin is connected to the LED, and ...
