Overview
The P1 is a dual processor high performance embedded video processing and general-purpose controller engine.  About the size of a business card the P1 has a 400MHz Blackfin DSP processor with Dynamic Power Management and an 8MHz self clocked AVR ATmega644 8bit RISC processor for general IO and Blackfin management.  The Blackfin memory consists of 16Mx16 of 133MHz SDRAM and a 1Mx8 Serial Flash.  The Flash can be increased to 8Mx8.  The AVR processor contains 64K bytes of internal Flash, 8K of SRAM and 4K of EEPROM.   Dynamic power management allows both processors to enter a deep sleep state dropping power to the mA range.  Dual real time clocks provide continuous time of day tracking.   A general-purpose video port supports a variety of camera modules from NTSC to 3Mpixel.  The AVR provides 8 10bit A/D channels, 8 digital IO lines.  The P1 has 2 RS-232 ports, an RS-485 port, SPI port, dual SPORTS and a 2 Wire serial bus.  The 2 Wire serial bus provides seamless attachment of additional AVR data acquisition processors.

Daughter Cards
The P1 is compatible with a family of interface daughter cards.  A 10/100BaseT Ethernet interface provides complete communication flexibility with IP based networks.  An Ethernet/FPGA card provides both IP connectivity and custom algorithm execution for JPEG2000, Motion JPEG2000 and MPEG applications.  Several Video Camera modules ensure a broad selection of image resolution options for most applications from NTSC to 3Mpixel. 

Hardware Development Kit
The P1 is available as a bare board or as a Hardware Development Kit (HDK).  The HDK  includes everything you need to start development.  Included is the P1 Development Platform, ISP cable, 10/100 Ethernet card and NTSC video card.
