    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.
