6.6 Auxiliary External Bus
The ZL1031 and ZL10311 devices have an Auxiliary External Bus, which can be configured as an IDE interface to
external Hard-Disk Drives and other ATAPI devices. The Auxiliary Bus can also offer a standard interface to
external memory chips, such as Flash ROM etc. There are multiplexed functions on these pins, and included is
information on how to access these multiplexed signals. The multiplexed functions include access to the DVB
Common Interface Address Bus.
The Data and Address pins for the Auxiliary External Bus are configured as “Big Endian”. This means that Data bit
[0] and Address Bit [9] are the Most Significant Bits (MSB).
