OMAP4460 Pandaboard ES Architecture
This chapter explains the architecture of the OMAP4460 Pandaboard ES.
2.1
Overview of the Pandaboard ES Architecture
Shown in Figure 1 is the Architectural Block Diagram of the OMAP4460 Pandaboard ES.
Listed below are the major components used on the Pandaboard ES.
OMAP4460 Processor
TWL6030 (Phoenix) Power Management Companion Device
TWL6040 (Phoenix) Audio Companion Device
TPS62361 Switching Power Supply
POP Mobile LPDDR2 SDRAM Memory
HDMI Connector (Type A) – for OMAP4460 HDMI Transmitter output
HDMI Connector (Type A) – for DVI-D output sourced via OMAP4 parallel display output
Audio Input & Output Connectors (3.5mm)
SD/SDIO/MMC Media Card Cage
UART via RS-232 interface via 9-pin D-Sub Connector
LS Research Module – 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth
The Platform also includes connectors that can be used for additional functionality and/or expansion
purposes. These connectors are not populated on the platform, but can be installed by the user. They are
indicated by the blue blocks in Figure 1, and include:
Camera Connector (J17)
Parallel LCD Expansion Connectors (J1 and J4)
Generic Expansion Connectors (J3 and J6)
DSI Display Expansion Connector (J7)
See Figure 2 on page 16 for a top side view of the Panda Platform.
The core components of the Pandaboard ES will be discussed in this section of the document. This would
include the OMAP4460 Processor and its POP LPDDR2 memory, the input clock circuitry, the TWL6030
Power Companion IC, and the TWL6040 Audio Companion IC. The functional interfaces will be
discussed in later sections of the document.
