MCIMX27 Datasheet, PDF (29/1650 Pages) Freescale Semiconductor, Inc – Multimedia Applications Processor

About This Book
The MCIMX27 Multimedia Applications Processor Reference Manual describes the features and operation
of the i.MX27 microprocessor, the seventh generation of the DragonBall family of products. It provides
the details of how to initialize, configure, and program the i.MX27 device. The manual presumes basic
knowledge of ARM926EJ-S™ architecture.
Audience
The MCIMX27 Multimedia Applications Processor Reference Manual is intended to provide a design
engineer with the necessary data to successfully integrate the i.MX27 processor into a wide variety of
applications. It is assumed that the reader has a good working knowledge of the ARM926EJ-S processor.
For programming information about the ARM926EJ-S processor, see the documents listed in the
Suggested Reading section of this preface.
Organization
This reference manual is organized into two books:
1. Book I contains chapters that detail integration information, including the signals, clocks, power
management, muxing tables, and JTAG/Boot operation of the IC.
2. Book II is divided into parts that consist of chapters that cover the operation and programming of
the i.MX27 device.
Document Revision History
Since the last revision, Rev. 0.1, base addresses and memory addresses for some modules were updated
for easier reader access.
