Matrix Vision MergerBox
-----------------------
1. Board Description
The MergerBox is a 120x160mm single board computing platform
for 3D Full-HD digital video processing.
Power Supply is 10-32VDC.
2 System Components
2.1 CPU
Freescale MPC8377 CPU running at 800MHz core and 333MHz csb.
256 MByte DDR-II memory @ 333MHz data rate.
64 MByte Nor Flash on local bus.
1 GByte Nand Flash on FCM.
1 Vitesse VSC8601 RGMII ethernet Phys.
1 USB host controller over ULPI I/F with 4-Port hub.
2 serial ports. Console running on ttyS0 @ 115200 8N1.
1 mPCIe expansion slot (PCIe x1 + USB) used for Wifi/Bt.
2 PCIe x1 busses on local mPCIe and cutom expansion connector.
2 SATA host ports.
System configuration (HRCW) is taken from I2C EEPROM.
2.2 Graphics
SM107 emebedded video controller driving a 5" 800x480 TFT panel.
Connected over 32-Bit/66MHz PCI utilizing 4 MByte embedded memory.
2.3 FPGA
Altera Cyclone-IV EP4C115 with several PCI DMA engines.
Connects to 7x Gennum 3G-SDI transceivers as video interconnect
as well as a HDMI v1.4 compliant output for 3D monitoring.
Utilizes two more DDR-II controllers providing 256MB memory.
