1.1 About the PB926EJ-S
The PB926EJ-S provides a development system that you can use to develop products
around the ARM926EJ-S PXP Development Chip.
You can use the PB926EJ-S as a basic development system with a power supply and a
connection to a JTAG interface unit.
You can expand the PB926EJ-S by adding:
• ARM RealView Logic Tiles containing custom IP
• a PCI expansion enclosure
• Dynamic memory expansion board
• Static memory expansion board
• VGA monitor or CLCD adaptor and CLCD display
• MMC, SD, or SIM cards
• custom devices to the 32-bit GPIO
• USB devices to the three USB ports
• serial devices to the synchronous serial port and the four UARTs
• keyboard and mouse
• audio devices to the onboard CODEC
• an Ethernet network to the onboard Ethernet controller.
The basic system provides a good platform for developing code for the ARM7 and
ARM9 series of processors. The ARM926EJ-S PXP Development Chip is much faster
than a software simulator or a core implemented in RealView Logic Tiles. Code
developed for the ARM926EJ-S PXP Development Chip will also run on the ARM10
and ARM11 processor series.
The expanded system with RealView Logic Tiles can be used to develop
AMBA-compatible peripherals and to test ASIC designs. The fast processor core and
the peripherals present in the ARM926EJ-S PXP Development Chip, PB926EJ-S
FPGA, and RealView Logic Tile FPGA enable you to develop and text complex
systems operating at, or near, their target operating frequency.
Figure 1-1 on page 1-3 shows the layout of the PB926EJ-S.
