Control and Compute Subsystem
Refer to figure “Control and compute subsystem” for a
clarification of the blocks that are used in this device.
Figure 9-16 Control and compute subsystem
The Control and compute subsystem consists of the main
processor, control peripherals and the memory system.
The MIPS 4KEc is a 32-bit MIPS RISC core. It has direct
access to connectivity peripherals to support system features
via PCI, I
2
C, UART or General Purpose I/O. A JTAG interface
provides processor software debug capabilities.
The Memory Control Unit (MCU) is a 32-bit DDR2 SDRAM
interface supporting DDR2-533 with an address range of 128
MB (max.).
The PCI/XIO interface supports PCI Rev2.2 and can be used
to access 8/16-bit external NAND-Flash memory.
The Conditional Access Interface supports direct control and
communication to the PC-Card attached to a PCMCIA
interface. The interface supports the DVB CI-CA and
CableCard specification.
