The Scroll Hardware

[Mad-Dog]

I'd like to start a topic as a reference point for purely the hardware in the scroll. This will help with locating drivers and any possible OS/Hardware mods/upgrades in the future.


If you post in this topic, please state on the first line the hardware related and any further info with links to relevant information. I'll post a reply myself for what I mean;

CPU & Chipset

http://csselectronic.com/telechips/tcc8900/

TCC8900 / TCC8902
The TCC8900 is a system LSI for digital multimedia applications based on ARM1176JZF-S, an ARM’s proprietary RISC CPU core.It is designed for high-end multimedia entertainment devices such as car AVN, portable multimedia player and home entertainment. To enrich multimedia experience, multi-format video CODEC (JPEG / MPEG1 / MPEG2 / MPEG4 / H.264 / VC-1 / RV) and audio CODEC (MP3 / WMA / EAAC+ / AC3, etc) are also incorporated into software and hardware to bring vivid full HD (1080p) contents to life on various screens and digital TV through HDMI output .

In addition, TCC8900 offers a hardwired 3D graphic accelerator (Mali200 from ARM) to enrich next generation GUI and other graphical applications.

Reference to CPU Chipset Family

Low risk and fast time to market
Proven, well-understood and widely deployed processor
Available as soft core or hard macro (from ARM and ARM partners)
Pre-verified supporting components and reference implementation flows
Extensive software and tool ecosystem
High performance in low-cost designs
800MHz to 1GHz+ at 65G in under 2 mm2
ARM System IP, Physical IP, and available third party design support
ARM926/AHB to ARM11/AXI migration simplified through AMBA® AHB-AXI bridge fabric
Compelling end-user experience
Significant performance increase over ARM926EJ-S™ processor in media, OS, and browser performance
Smartphone-class web browser software and OS support
Basic support for Adobe Flash (Flash Lite) with ARM11 + L2
Flash Player 10.1 support requires ARMv7A (Cortex-A class)
Combine ARM1176 with Mali-200 to provide OpenGL ES 2.0 support for rich UI


Considering an ARM1176-based design?
The ARM1176 is still actively being licensed for application processor and baseband processor designs due to it's maturity, low level of implementation risk, and low implementation cost. For Partners designing cutting edge application processors and SoCs for web connected products, the Cortex-A5 processor provides higher performance in less area and power, with full entitlement to ARMv7A optimized ecosystem software.
