1 Introduction
The eDEV-BF5xx Development Board is a feature rich, low cost rapid development platform designed to
decrease time-to-market of customized applications. It supports Bluetechnix’ powerful Blackfin® based
Core Modules like the latest eCM-BF561.
The development board provides all interfaces on dedicated connectors and has all Core Module pins routed
to solder pads which can be easily accessed by the developers. This allows customers to connect their own
hardware and enables comfortable measurements. Interfaces such as a high-speed serial port which is
directly connectable to a computer USB port, an USB 2.0 device controller, a LAN controller and an SD-Card
socket are available.
The eDEV-BF5xx supports the latest debugging interface from Analog Devices - ADI-SADA (Analog Devices
Stand Alone Debug Agent) which is fully compatible with Visual DSP++ and allows programming and
debugging any of the Blackfin® processors. Of course the development board is compatible with your ADI
High Performance Debug Agent.
The eDEV-BF5xx features the latest extender socket (bottom side) for upcoming extender boards.

2 General Description
The eDEV-BF5xx is a powerful evaluation platform designed for the latest Blackfin based Core Modules of
Bluetechnix. It features a connector slot for a Core Module and offers wide spread connectivity possibilities.
The USB and Ethernet controllers are connected to the Blackfins EBI (External Bus Interface).
An interface for the Bluetechnix’ Image Sensor Modules (ISM) as well as a TFT connector is on board. The
image sensors are routed to PPI0.
The TFT connector operates with TFT displays from EDT with the standard family-concept interface. It is
routed to the PPI1 of the Core Module. An additional touch screen controller is connected to GPIOs.
A JTAG connector is available to connect your high speed JTAG from Analog Devices or the ADI-SADA
(Analog Devices Stand Alone Debug Agent).
The SD-Card socket is routed to the SPI port of the Core Module.
The eDEV-BF5xx has all Core Module pins routed to solder pads in order to ensure a good connectivity of
external hardware.

Version 2.1
2.1.1 Powering
The eDEV-BF5xx must be powered externally by connecting a DC source to the DC-plug. The Voltage can
vary between 7V and 24V.
The on-board regulators are generating the 5.0V supply for the SADA and the 3.3V supply for the Core
Module and all other devices.
2.1.2 Data Line Buffering
To guarantee that devices externally connected to the EBI are working without any problems, line buffers are
connected to the 32-bit data bus. For buffering the 74LVT16245MTD with 3-state outputs is used.
2.1.3 USB
There are two USB connectors on the development board. One is connected to an UART to USB converter
(X8), the second to the USB 2.0 Device controller (X7).
The CP2102 USB to UART Bridge from Silicon Labs is connected to the UART0 of the Blackfin. This USB
connection is easy to use and ideal for debug outputs on the PC. The needed Drivers are available on the
manufacturer’s website: http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx.
The UART is also available on a standard 4-pin 2.54mm pitch header. To change the UART routing the right
switcher setting (S5) has to be made.
The NET2272 USB Device controller from PLX Technology is connected to the EBI. If the Controller won’t be
used, he can be disabled by setting the right configuration on the DIP-Switches (see chapter 5.5). The
NET2272 is USB V2.0 compliant and provides a high speed USB connection to a USB Host.
2.1.4 Ethernet
The LAN9218 is a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet Controller from SMSC with integrated MAC and PHY. The
controller is fully IEEE 802.3/802.3u compliant; the PHY supports HP-Auto-MDIX.
2.1.5 SD-Card
The SD-Card slot is located on the bottom side of the board. The cards are connected via SPI to the
Blackfin, a 4-bit parallel data transmission mode is not supported.
2.1.6 Image Sensors (BLT-ISM-Connector)
The 30-pin ZIF socket allows connecting Image Sensor Modules (ISM) from Bluetechnix. The ISM is
connected to the PPI0 of the Core Module. There are a various number of ISMs available. Please check out
our website for an actual list of available modules.
2.1.7 RGB-TFT Display
Another ZIF socket (40-pin) is allows connecting a TFT-Display to the PPI1 of the Core Module. The
connector is compatible with different TFT Displays from EDT (Emerging Display Technologies). Contact
Bluetechnix for a list of currently supported displays.

3.1.3 ESD Sensitivity
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device
. Charged devices and circuit
boards can discharge without detection. Although this product features patented
or proprietary protection circuitry, damage may occur on devices subjected to
high energy ESD. Therefore, proper ESD precautions should be taken to avoid
performance degradation or loss of functionality.

5 Switches, Jumpers and LEDs
5.1 Power LED
The Power LED right next to the DC-plug indicates whether the Core Module is powered or not. The LED
goes on, if the 3.3V power supply is generates.
5.2 GPIO LEDs
Each of the two LEDs (red and green) is connected via a DIP switch (see below) to a GPIO of the Core
Module.

5.3 GPIO Button
One push-button is connected to the GPIO PF10. Also this button (and the pull-up resistor) can be
disconnected from the module. A hardware de-bouncing is realized by a single RC-element with a time-
constant of τ=1ms.
5.4 Reset Button
The Reset button is connected to the Core Modules Reset and to the camera Reset on X11. He is also
available on the extension connector X2. The hardware de-bounced signal (τ=5.4ms) is gated with an open
collector Schmitt-trigger.
5.5 Board Configuration Switches (S2, S3)
The board configuration DIP-switches offers the user to disable or disconnect specific devices or elements
on the board.

9 Dependability
9.1 MTBF
Please keep in mind that a part stress analysis would be the only way to obtain significant failure rate results,
because MTBF numbers just represent a statistical approximation of how long a set of devices should last
before failure. Nevertheless, we can calculate an MTBF of the Core Module using the bill of material. We take
all the components into account. The PCB and solder connections are excluded from this estimation. For
test conditions we assume an ambient temperature of 30°C of all Core Module components except the
Blackfin® processor (80°C) and the memories (70°C). We use the MTBF Calculator from ALD
(http://www.aldservice.com/) and use the reliability prediction MIL-217F2 Part Stress standard. Please get in
touch with Bluetechnix (office@bluetechnix.com) if you are interested in the MTBF result.
