1 Introduction The CM-BF527 is a member of Blackfin based core modules incorporating the consumer temperature version of the ADSP-BF527 (optional also ADSP-BF525 or ADSP-BF522). It is backwards compatible to the CM-BF537E for most of its interfaces and can be used as a replacement module on any Bluetechnix development or evaluation Board.
Boot Mode GPIO’s 1.2 Key Features The CM-BF527 is a low cost compact core module and measures only 36x31mm Allows quick prototyping of product that comes very close to the final design Reduces development costs, faster time to market ...
Figure 2-1 shows a detailed block diagram of the CM-BF527 module. Besides the SDRAM control pins and the Pins used by the Ethernet Physical Transceiver (Port H) the CM-BF527 has all other pins of the Blackfin processor on its two main 60 pin connectors.
15 Boot from 8‐Bit Host DMA Table 2-1: Boot Mode CM-BF527 Connect BMODE0 to Vcc and leave BMODE1, BMODE2 and BMODE3 pins open for Boot Mode 0001 equals to 8 or 16 bit PROM/FLASH boot mode. This is the default boot mode of the BLACKSheep software and uClinux.
