AgatePXC Overview The AgatePXC fulfills high performance requirements for a complete graphics and video acquisition solution found in VxWorks, Linux, and Windows embedded systems. It can be used in an XMC, PMC, or XMC/PMC footprint and can operate in XMC locations with VPWR set to 5V or 12V. In a dual-bus footprint, it defaults to XMC. The AgatePXC uses the AMD Radeon™ E4690 Embedded Graphics Processor, which includes 320 shader processors, a 128-bit memory interface, and 512MB of GDDR3 on-chip memory.

AgatePXC Versions The AgatePXC/1x versions are display-only. The AgatePXC/2 includes the full feature set of the product line.The next page provides details about the display capabilities of each model. AgatePXC/1V: Dual VGA Analog Outputs The AgatePXC/1V provides two front panel VGA connectors. Each channel supports interlaced or non-interlaced RGBHV or RGB with composite or Sync-On-Green.
PAGE 5
Graphics Display Capabilities Table 2, below, provides the details about each possible graphics output from the E4690. Power drawn on each DP or VGA port should not exceed 50mA (500mA peak). If more power is required, please use an external supply such as the Mouser 418-TR25D01. Note that regardless of the number of graphics connections on the front and/or rear panels, the E4690 itself allows only 2 channels to be active at one time.
PAGE 6
Audio and Video Input Capabilities Hardware Notes As shown in Table 3, below, the AgatePXC/2 provides six different input functions. Of those six, you can use only one out of DVI, RGBHV, or YUV at a given time because they share the same data path. By default, 2 stereo pairs are provided on the SDR50 connector. By special order, an additional 2 pairs can be had in place of the multi-mode analog output.
PAGE 7
USB 2.0/3.0 Host Controller Host Wiring The AgatePXC/2 uses the quad-port Renesas uPD720201 USB Host Controller which is USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed), 2.0 (High Speed), and 1.1 (Full Speed) compatible. USB 2.0 supports data rates up to 480 Mbit/s and USB 3.0 up to 5Gbit/s. USB 3.0 is especially suited for even the highest resolution video and data storage applications. Please see Software Support (page 11) for information about the uPD720201, FX3 and CX3 software requirements.

PIM Adapter Figure 5: PIM Block Diagram When you use both the XMC Pn6 and PMC Pn4 connectors on the Agate PIM, all of the Agate rear I/O is accessible via a connectors mounted on both sides of the PIM, as shown in the diagrams below. x4 An alternate version includes a VME P2-style connector which allows the PIM to be used with Rastergraf and Technobox PMC and XMC carriers.

Adapter Boardlet Side 1: WandCam Figure 7: Avnet WandCam Front and Back Views Side 1 of the snap-out boardlet contains an adapter that supports the connection of an Avnet WandCam OV5640 MIPI CSI-2 camera to the Agate I/O Breakout Cable. Any MIPI CSI-2 one to four lane camera that is compatible with the WandCam standard can be supported. Referring to the diagram below, the FPC (left hand) connector is linked to the WandCam via a short length of 0.5mm pitch FPC cable.

Systems Management There are a number of subsystems on the AgatePXC that are required to enable its correct and reliable operation. The startup of the power systems is set in motion by the leading edge of the system reset pulse. All host power must be stable at that time in order to ensure the proper operation of the board. Power Supply Subsystem Built-IIn Self-T Test (BIST) Controller By the very definition of a high-performance graphics board, the Agate is NOT a low-power design.

Software Support Software support for the AgatePXC includes the SDL Subroutine Library, Windows XP/7/8 drivers, and an x.

Ruggedization Rastergraf is not in the militarized business. The intent of the following table is to illustrate how the Rastergraf graphic boards fit into the standard ruggedized classes. Rastergraf boards use standard distribution grade derated commercial temperature range or industrial temperature range components. No formal component tracking is maintained.
