The DM6437 on the EVM interfaces to on-board peripherals through integrated device
interfaces and a 8-bit wide EMIF bus. The DDR2 memory is connected to its own
dedicated 32 bit wide bus. The EMIF bus is jumper selectable to be connected to the
Flash, SRAM, NAND, and daughter card expansion connectors which are used for
add-on boards.
On board video decoder and on chip encoders interface video streams to the DM6437
processor. One TVP5146M2 decoder and 4 on chip DAC channels are standard on the
EVM (only 3 output connectors are populated so that the board can fit in a PCI slot).
On screen display functions are implemented in software on the DM6437 processor.
An on-board AIC33 codec allows the DSP to transmit and receive analog audio
signals. The I
the audio stream. Signal interfacing is done through 3.5mm audio jacks that correspond
to microphone input, line input, line output, and headphone outputs.
The EVM includes 4 user LEDs, and 4 position user DIP switch which can be used to
provide the user with interactive feedback. These interfaces are implemented via
