Introduction

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.
