In order to minimize board size, a HDMI connector was selected for the DVI-D
connection. The BeagleBoard does not support HDMI but only the DVI-D component of
HDMI. The Cable is not supplied with the BeagleBoard but is available from numerous
cable suppliers and is required to connect a display to the BeagleBoard.
7.17.6.1
Shield Wire
Each signal has a shield wire that is used in the cable to provide signal protection for each
differential pair. This signal is tied directly to ground.
7.17.6.2
DAT0+/DAT0-
The differential signal pair
DAT0+/DAT0-
transmits the 8-bit blue pixel data during
active video and HSYNC and VSYNC during the blanking interval.
7.17.6.3
DAT1+/DAT1-
The differential signal pair
DAT1+/DAT1-
transmits the 8-bit green pixel data during
active video.
7.17.6.4
DAT2+/DAT2-
The differential signal pair
DAT2+/DAT2-
transmits the 8-bit red pixel data during
active.
7.17.6.5
TXC+/TXC-
The differential signal pair
TXC+/TXC-
transmits the differential clock from the
TFP410.
7.17.6.6
DDC Channel
The
Display Data Channel
or
DDC (
sometimes referred to as EDID Enhanced Display
ID
)
is a digital connection between a computer display and the processor that allows the
display specifications to be read by the processor. The standard was created by the Video
Electronics Standards Association (VESA). The current version of DDC, called DDC2B,
is based on the I²C bus. The monitor contains EEPROM programmed by the
manufacturer with information about the graphics modes that the monitor can display.
This interface in the LCD panel is powered by the +5V pin on the connector through
RT1
, a resetable fuse. As the processor is 1.8V I/O, the I2C bus is level translated by
U11
, a
TXS0102
. It provides for a split rail to allow the signals to interface on both sides
of the circuit. Inside of
TXS0102
is a pullup on each signal, removing the need for an
external resistor.
