Connecting the i.MX to a Hard Drive
●Consumer electronics products require an increasing amount of capacity to store digital content. This is especially true for applications that the MC9328MX1 and MC9328MXL, MC9328MXS, (i.MX1/L/S) processors address, such as:
■Digital video players/recorders
■Video game consoles
■Portable digital audio players
■Multimedia portable players
●The goal of this document is to present the best solution to connect a standard ATA Hard Disk Drive to the i.MX processors. A full description of the different standards for Hard Disk Drives is found in the Appendices. Within the appendices, the discussion justifies the choice of the most commonly used ATA standard.
●Despite the dedicated PCMCIA/CF controller of the MC9328MX21 (i.MX21), this application note provides an alternative to the PCMCIA/CF controller. As the External Interface Module (EIM) is similar for the entire i.MX processor family, the primary changes are within the memory map and GPIO configurations.
