Note:The ConnectCore Wi-9C module is populated with either one RP-SMA connector, two RP-SMA connectors, or 2 U.FL connectors (see “ConnectCoreWi-9C configurations” on page 7 for all module configuration Module LEDs, CR1 & CR2ConnectCore Wi-9C(extended footprint)Ethernet portUSB Host port, P6PoE pass-through connector, P5JTAG header connector, P2SO-DIMM edge connector, P3U.FL connector receptaclesP11P9 RP-SMA connectorsP10P8ConnectCore 9C(basic footprint)

The connector provides both Ethernet interface pins (in the upper portion) and two integrated LEDs (in the lower portion).Ethernet connector pins There are eight Ethernet connector pins in the upper portion of the connector. Pin 1 is in the upper left corner of the connector, above the yellow LED. Pins 4, 5, 7, and 8 are used with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) only (see “802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) pass-through connector, P5” on page 13).Ethernet LEDs The RJ-45 connector has two LEDs located near the outer lower corners of the Ethernet port. These LEDs are controlled by the Ethernet PHY on the module, and are not programmable.

A JTAG adapter, which ships with each Jump Start kit, expands the JTAG connector to a 100 mil pitch. Use the included JTAG adapter to connect the debugger.The JTAG connector on the module is keyed, as are the two connectors on the JTAG adapter, which means there is only one way to attach ribbon cables to the module and JTAG adapter.

The JTAG adapter assembly consists of the Digi JTAG Link USB debugger with a ribbon cable attached and the JTAG adapter with a ribbon cable attached. The Jump Start Kit also includes a USB cable.The two connectors on the JTAG adapter are keyed, as is the JTAG connector header (P2) on the module. Keyed connectors eliminate cable attachment errors by ensuring that there is only one way to mate the connectors.JTAG adapter The JTAG adapter has two 20-pin connectors, P1 and P2.P1 is a keyed male connector into which you attach the debugger’s ribbon cable.P2 is a keyed male connector into which you attach the ribbon cable that plugs into the module.J1 is a jumper that determines the mode in which the module operates: debug or boundary scan. Depending on the JTAG adaptor you are using, J1 has either two pins or three pins. This drawing shows the JTAG adapter with a 2-pin J1 header. For debug mode — Do not plug a jumper onto J1.For boundary scan mode — Plug a jumper onto J1.17 N/A N/A18 GND Ground19 BISTEN# ARM9 mode select: Debug = Pull high: 220 ohms to pin 2 (3.3V) Boundary scan / normal = Pull low: 220 ohms to pin 20 (GND)20 GND GroundPin Signal Description

For additional SO-DIMM pin characteristics, see "Module / SO-DIMM signal characteristics," beginning on page 70.Some signals are multiplexed to two different GPIO pins, to maximize the number of possible applications.

Note: Functions in parentheses are duplicates; for example, pin 63 has two entries in the LCD column: CLD6 and (CLD10).

The number of data pins depends on the display type. Displays typically require 4–6 control pins. The next two tables list the control pins and the data pins, respectively.

B  01/20074LCD controller control pinsLCD controller data pinsNote:Double-panel displays use twice as many pins but do not offer more color or gray shades.Colors and gray shades The number of colors and gray shades correlates with the number of data pins but also depends on color processing techniques and data-shifting techniques.

. . . . .LCD AND USB CONFIGURATIONSample applicationswww.digiembedded.com 61Sample displays ConnectCore 9C/Wi-9C uses an internal programmable palette-LUT and a grayscaler to support different color-processing techniques; three sample displays are provided here:18-pin TFT display (for example, the SHARP LQ10D421). Accepts 18 color RGB bits (6 bits per color) at a time. Only 16 bits are transferred from SDRAM: five bits each for the three colors — R (red), G (green), and B (blue) — and a single LSB (least significant bit) that is split into three equal values between R, G, and B. This produces close to 216, or 64 thousand colors.8-pin STN color display (for example, the SHARP LM057QC1T01). Shifts eight color bits at a time: RGBRGBRG bits followed by BRGBRGBR bits followed by GBRGBRGB, and so on. This produces color enhancing in 3375 color grades.4-pin STN monochrome display (for example, the Grand Pacific Optoelectronics GM0008-13). Shifts four monochrome bits at a time, resulting in 15 gray shades (24 – 1).Resolution The LCD resolution is programmable. These standard displays, with the following resolutions, are supported:QVGA = 320 x 240VGA = 640 x 480Lower resolution displays also are supported. Displays typically have programmable vertical resolutions within a certain range, especially if they are used for TV displays (to accommodate different television standards).Refresh frequency The LCD refresh frequency is programmable. Lower refresh frequency drains less power, but might flicker. TFT displays usually flicker less than STN displays, as they have a transistor switch behind each pixel on the screen and can hold the capacitive charge longer.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Sample applicationsThe LCD interface uses memory as a video buffer. The display resolution is determined by the product of three parameters: number of data bits x display resolution x refresh frequency. This product cannot exceed the system bus bandwidth allocated to the display.Be aware that the actual bandwidth used by the display is:display clock rate x number of bits per clockFor example, a clock rate of 50MHz with 16 bits of color yields a bandwidth of 100 MBps. To minimize bandwidth requirements, you might need to use an external oscillator to get the exact rate.
LCD AND USB CONFIGURATIONSample applications62 ConnectCore 9c/Wi-9C Hardware Reference, Rev. B  01/20074The ConnectCore 9C/Wi-9C development board has a 48MHz external oscillator and resulting LCD clock of 24MHz. 16 bits of color requires 48 MBps for the display.Default LCD controller The default LCD controller configuration supported by the NS9360 is 640 x 480, with 8 bits for color. The bandwidth is guaranteed; the designer does not need to be concerned with bandwidth use. Higher resolutions are possible but require care in their setup and design.Formula The ConnectCore 9C/Wi-9C module operates at 155 MHz system bus speed. This speed grade results in 310 MBps bus bandwidth, as the bus is 4 bytes wide. For bandwidth planning, this maximum bandwidth must be reduced to account for overhead and read/write switching. The effective bandwidth is 1/2 of the system bandwidth; that is, 155 MBps. This value is predicted as the worst case for the ConnectCore 9C/Wi-9C. The architecture allocates half of the system bandwidth to the module. The remaining four bus master peripherals (Ethernet TX, Ethernet RX, peripheral bus bridge, and LCD controller) share the other half of the bandwidth. The bandwidth assignment of these peripherals is programmable.Use this formula to estimate the amount of bandwidth available for your LCD display:CPU bandwidth = 77.5 MBpsAll other peripherals (including LCD) = 77.5 MBpsExample 1: 18-bit VGA The 18-bit TFT display transfers 16 bits per pixel and generates the last two bits inside the LCD controller. This display packs two-color RGB pixels into a single 4-byte word.The 18-bit VGA display (640 x 480), refreshing 60 times per second, requires 37 MBps:2 x 640 x 480 x 60 = 37 MBps40.5 MBps are left to all other peripherals. If the LCD refresh frequency increases to 70 Hz, the required bandwidth increases to 43 MBps.Note:The module LCD controller supports 18-bit VGA displays in most applications.Supported TFT displays Display type Refresh frequency in Hz BW required for display in MBps Display in MBpsBW left to other peripherals in MBps18b VGA (640 x 480) 50 31 46.560 37 40.570 43 34.5

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
