Peripherals
Blackfin processors contain a wide array of connectivity peripherals.
- USB 2.0 OTG (On-The-Go)
- ATAPI
- MXVR : a MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) Network Interface Controller.
- PPI (Parallel Peripheral Interface) : A parallel input/output port that can be used to connect to LCDs, video encoders (video DACs), video decoders (video ADCs), CMOS sensors, CCDs and generic, parallel, high-speed devices. The PPI can run up to 75 MHz and can be configured from 8 to 16-bits wide.
- SPORT : A synchronous, high speed serial port that can support TDM, I2S and a number of other configurable framing modes for connection to ADCs, DACs, other processors, FPGAs, etc.
- CAN : A wide-area, low-speed serial bus that is fairly popular in automotive and industrial electronics.
- UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) : allows for bi-directional communication with RS232 devices (PCs, modems, PC peripherals, etc.), MIDI devices, IRDA devices.
- SPI : A fast serial bus used in many high-speed embedded electronics applications.
- I²C (also known as TWI (two-wire interface)) : A lower speed, shared serial bus.
Because all of the peripheral control registers are memory-mapped in the normal address space, they are quite easy to set up.
