2.9 HDLCD
An ARM HDLCD controller in the Cortex-A15_A7 MPCore test chip provides graphic display
capabilities. The controller is a frame buffer device that is capable of displaying up to
1920×1080p pixel resolution at 60Hz with a 165MHz pixel clock from OSCCLK 5. The MMB
connects the 24-bit RGB data directly between the test chip and the motherboard through the
HDRY header. The multiplexer FPGA on the motherboard can select this bus to drive the analog
and digital interfaces for the DVI connector using the motherboard SYS_CFG register interface.
See the Motherboard Express µATX Technical Reference Manual.
The HDLCD frame buffer is located in DDR2 memory serviced by the DMC from the test chip
bus matrix. This ensures maximum data bandwidth between the Cortex-A15_A7 MPCore
cluster, the HDLCD controller, and DDR2 memory without accessing off-chip devices.
Figure 2-14 shows a functional overview of the HDLCD controller and its connections to the
Cortex-A15 test chip and the motherboard.
See Appendix B HDLCD controller for a full description of the HDLCD controller.
