The Processor board is marked 'Reciva' and 'IRM2' in the silk screen, and contains (mainly) three devices, all manufactured by Samsung.

The right image shows a board outline with pin numbers on the pads. These numbers are by no means official, but until we know the exact purpose of the pins, it's handy to give them a number so everybody is talking about the same thing.

Main CPU

The CPU has the following on-board functions:

  • ARM core
  • PCM Sound device
  • USB host/device interface
  • TFT LCD/STN LCD Controller (16bit, 640x480 maximum)
  • ...


Smally Tiny12 CPU

There's also an Atmel Tiny12L MCU onboard. No idea what it's doing yet.


Flash

  • The top left device is 16Mb*8 flash memory


RAM

  • the bottom left device is SDRAM 16M*8
