HDX Bone with Telechips TCC8900 ARM CPU chip and Mali 200 GPU port? - wigout - 2010-06-17 Hello- I have looked around and there was a quick response to whether or not the HDX Bone could be a target for a port, but I thought I'd more fully present the case. The HDX Bone has the at its core the Telechips TCC8900 ("a system LSI for digital multimedia applications based on ARM1176JZF-S, an ARM's proprietary RISC CPU core") with the Mali 200 GPU onboard. According to literature from Mali: • The Mali-200 and Mali-400 MP GPUs support both the OpenGL ES 1.1 and OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics standards. Here's a link to Mali's open source drivers. Here's a peak at the insides of the HDX Bone: fullsize: http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/4527/hdxbonepcbbottom.jpg fullsize: http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/9569/hdxbonepcbtop.jpg Here's the parts of note from the pcb: Parts of note: U1 - SoC TELECHIPS TCC8900 0AX AN24RH 1012 U5- DDR2 - 1G (1 gigabit = 128 megabyte) SAMSUNG 937 K4T1G164QE-HCF7 http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/products/dram/Products_commercialtemp_products.html#DDR2%20SDRAM (external link) U6- DDR2 - 1G (1 gigabit = 128 megabyte) SAMSUNG 937 K4T1G164QE-HCF7 http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/products/dram/Products_commercialtemp_products.html#DDR2%20SDRAM (external link) U7 - NAND Flash - 2G (2 gigabit = 256 megabyte) SAMSUNG 946 K9F2G08U0B PCB0 2G according to http://www.samsung.com/global/system/business/semiconductor/family/2010/1/1/Nand_Flash.pdf (external link) U14 - unknown OS + 28E01 003B2 U17 - Ethernet Controller with General Processor Interface DAVICOM DM9000CEP 1012NS D4TA9.13 U31 Big Blank Spot T1 - ethernet related? UDE P3012 1012Ja Now I don't understand the NAND/DDR2 numbers too well, but that's how I understand the specs of those chips. Anyway, those are the actual chips/memory in the device as it shipped. As for the dual boot part: There is the "proprietary" VOIR (which I think is often written as V012, as well) - nmap detects the OS "with 100% accuracy" (fwiw) as Linux 2.6.9 - 2.6.28, and from examining the strings of some files recovered from the flash I can confirm that the VOIR is running linux 2.6.28 kernel. The Android 1.6 bootup I can telnet into and see that it is running a linux 2.6.28 kernel too. Anyway, what do you think? Possible? Worth pursuing? Abandon all hope? Thanks, wigout |
