To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe GmbH restricts its
warranties and its liability for Lime Evaluation Board and all its deliverables (e.g. software include or
header files, application examples, target boards, evaluation boards, engineering samples of IC’s etc.), its
performance and any consequential damages, on the use of the Product in accordance with (i) the terms of
the License Agreement and the Sale and Purchase Agreement under which agreements the Product has
been delivered, (ii) the technical descriptions and (iii) all accompanying written materials. In addition, to the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe GmbH disclaims all warranties
and liabilities for the performance of the Product and any consequential damages in cases of unauthorised
decompiling and/or reverse engineering and/or disassembling.
Note, the Lime Evaluation Board and all its deliverables are intended and must only be used in an
evaluation laboratory environment.
1. Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe GmbH warrants that the Product will perform substantially in
accordance with the accompanying written materials for a period of 90 days form the date of receipt
by the customer. Concerning the hardware components of the Product, Fujitsu Microelectronics
Europe GmbH warrants that the Product will be free from defects in material and workmanship under
use and service as specified in the accompanying written materials for a duration of 1 year from the
date of receipt by the customer.
2. Should a Product turn out to be defect, Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe GmbH’s entire liability and
the customer’s exclusive remedy shall be, at Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe GmbH’s sole
discretion, either return of the purchase price and the license fee, or replacement of the Product or
parts thereof, if the Product is returned to Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe GmbH in original packing
and without further defects resulting from the customer’s use or the transport. However, this warranty
is excluded if the defect has resulted from an accident not attributable to Fujitsu Microelectronics
Europe GmbH, or abuse or misapplication attributable to the customer or any other third party not
relating to Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe GmbH.
3. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe GmbH disclaims
all other warranties, whether expressed or implied, in particular, but not limited to, warranties of
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose for which the Product is not designated.
4. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe GmbH’s and its
suppliers´ liability is restricted to intention and gross negligence.
NO LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Fujitsu
Microelectronics Europe GmbH and its suppliers be liable for any damages whatsoever
(including but without limitation, consequential and/or indirect damages for personal injury,
assets of substantial value, loss of profits, interruption of business operation, loss of
information, or any other monetary or pecuniary loss) arising from the use of the Product.
Should one of the above stipulations be or become invalid and/or unenforceable, the remaining stipulations
shall stay in full effect
The CREMSON-STARTERKIT-LIME is a low-cost multifunctional evaluation board for Fujitsu’s
MB86276 ‘Lime’ Graphic Controller. The board is a part of a modular system and is connected to
the ‘CREMSON-STARTERKIT-CPU-Modul’ board as a simple target board for both software
development and testing, allowing design engineers to begin with software development
immediately before their proprietary (final) target system is available.
This diagram provides a functional overview of the system (note that it does not give a true
representation of the physical board – e.g. the FPGA device is actually two FPGA’s).
Figure 1 Functional Block Diagram
The main components and interfaces of the CREMSON-STARTERKIT-LIME evaluation board:
Lime Graphic Controller
64Mbytes SDRAM
Video outputs
o 2 x DVI
o 2 x RGB digital
o 2 x LVDS
Video inputs
o Digital RGB666
o Digital YUV422 (ITU656)
o CVBS
o S-Video
Others
o Xilinx FPGA’s
o Test LED’s
o Configuration settings
The location of the various interfaces of the board (the outline of which is shown below) is best
determined using the current schematics (in this document) and the physical board’s silkscreen
markings. Locate the connector’s ID (e.g. X703) in the schematics and then check the silkscreen
markings on the physical board.
LED’s are connected to the power nets of the board and therefore an illuminated LED shows the
availability of its corresponding power net. The power LED’s are located at the lower right corner of
the board, the Reset LED under the external SDRAM and the FPGA power LED near the video
input.
The table shows DIP switches SW100 and SW101 of the Lime evaluation board. These should be
configured according to the intended host CPU interface mode and output display connection.
Before connecting the evaluation board for the first time, make sure that all switches are correctly
set. Possible settings and defaults are shown below.
