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 proces-
sors, a 128-bit memory interface, and 512MB of GDDR3
on-chip memory. The E4690 provides hardware support
for OpenGL 3.0 and DirectX 10.1 as well as video codecs.
Multiple HD video streams can be decoded at once.
The E4690 multi-mode analog graphics Ch 2 output sup-
ports NTSC or PAL (composite or Y/C component), RS-
170, 1080p HD, VGA, RGB with or without Sync on
Green, and STANAG 3350 Class A-C.
Screen resolutions of up to 2560x1600 are available with
the AgatePXC/2 standard dual DisplayPort 1.1a outputs
which use front panel Mini DisplayPort (mDP) connectors.
External in-line “dongles” can transparently convert the
mDP to DVI, VGA, NTSC/PAL, or a full-size DP connector.
Depopulated single purpose boards include VGA-only,
DisplayPort-only, and LVDS-only models.
A front panel Honda SDR50 0.8mm connector provides
the multi-mode graphics output, a MIPI CSI-2 port (4
lanes, 3.3V,
I
2
C), 2 stereo audio inputs, 8 NTSC/PAL
inputs, and a single RGBHV input.
Most I/O functions are also available on a combination of
the XMC Pn6 and PMC Pn4 connectors. See Table 1 for a
a summary of function availability.
A “Personality Interface Module” (PIM) and a dual-purpose
camera adapter boardlet are also available to ease con-
nectivity to the Agate (see pages 8-9).
An ST Micro STM32F427 32-bit CPU provides Built-In
Self Test (BIST) and monitoring of most AgatePXC func-
tions using
I
2
C, UART, JTAG, and on-chip A/D converters
for voltage measurements. Reporting is done via LEDs
and USB.
