+Matrix Vision MergerBox
+-----------------------
+
+1. Board Description
+
+ The MergerBox is a 120x160mm single board computing platform
+ for 3D Full-HD digital video processing.
+
+ Power Supply is 10-32VDC.
+
+2 System Components
+
+2.1 CPU
+ Freescale MPC8377 CPU running at 800MHz core and 333MHz csb.
+ 256 MByte DDR-II memory @ 333MHz data rate.
+ 64 MByte Nor Flash on local bus.
+ 1 GByte Nand Flash on FCM.
+ 1 Vitesse VSC8601 RGMII ethernet Phys.
+ 1 USB host controller over ULPI I/F with 4-Port hub.
+ 2 serial ports. Console running on ttyS0 @ 115200 8N1.
+ 1 mPCIe expansion slot (PCIe x1 + USB) used for Wifi/Bt.
+ 2 PCIe x1 busses on local mPCIe and cutom expansion connector.
+ 2 SATA host ports.
+ System configuration (HRCW) is taken from I2C EEPROM.
+
+2.2 Graphics
+ SM107 emebedded video controller driving a 5" 800x480 TFT panel.
+ Connected over 32-Bit/66MHz PCI utilizing 4 MByte embedded memory.
+
+2.3 FPGA
+ Altera Cyclone-IV EP4C115 with several PCI DMA engines.
+ Connects to 7x Gennum 3G-SDI transceivers as video interconnect
+ as well as a HDMI v1.4 compliant output for 3D monitoring.
+ Utilizes two more DDR-II controllers providing 256MB memory.
+
+2.4 I2C
+ Bus1:
+ AD7418 @ 0x50 for voltage/temp. monitoring.
+ SX8650 @ 0x90 touch controller for HMI.
+ EEPROM @ 0xA0 for system setup (HRCW etc.) + vendor specifics.
+ Bus2:
+ mPCIe SMBus
+ SiI9022A @ 0x72/0xC0 HDMI transmitter.
+ TCA6416A @ 0x40 + 0x42 16-Bit I/O expander.
+ LMH1983 @ 0xCA video PLL.
+ DS1338C @ 0xD0 real-time clock with embedded crystal.
+ 9FG104 @ 0xDC 4x 100MHz LVDS SerDes reference clock.
+
+3 Flash layout.
+
+ reset vector is 0x00000100, i.e. low boot.
+
+ 00000000 u-boot binary.
+ 00100000 FPGA raw bit file.
+ 00300000 FIT image holding kernel, dtb and rescue squashfs.
+ 03d00000 u-boot environment.
+ 03e00000 splash image
+
+ mtd partitions are propagated to linux kernel via device tree blob.
