The external device-specific input/output daughterboard is supported in one of the daughterboard seats, connects the external interface to the motherboard supervisory processor, and has an input/output processor translate data communicated between the motherboard supervisory processor and a device connected to the external interface. Embedded engine controllers and gas turbine engines with embedded controllers are also described.
