ERS-310 Hardware - CPU and memory |
Check out hkora11's photos of the insides of the 31x.
CPU
The CPU is a Toshiba TMPR 4955A MIPS processor. It uses the MIPS IV instruction set, 32-bit data bus, and has a maximum speed of 200MHz. It runs at 192MHz.NOTE: This is a different CPU than the one found in the ERS-2x0.
Memory
Dynamic memory is in two NEC D4518163 memory chips giving a total of 32MB of memory. This is SDRAM.Read only memory is in single Toshiba TC58FVB321 flash memory chip giving a total of 4MB of flash ROM.
I/O Controller
There is a separate 8-bit micro-controller that performs I/O functions as well as controlling the main CPU (including powering it up and acting like a watch-dog). The chip is an NEC D780023. It is an 8-bit micro-controller with 24KB of ROM and 1KB of RAM, an analog-to-digital converter, a real-time-clock, a buzzer circuit (for the boot failure tune) and two serial ports (among other features).Specs
