    Default in depth hardware information.

    Im looking for a resource for information on dbox2 hardware.
    primarily processor and chipset whitepapers that are (heres the hard part) in english.

    so anyone know where i can get whitepapers on the following hardware?
    Motorola XPC 823ZT
    C-Cube Avia 600L
    C-Cube Avia eNX
    C-Cube Avia GTX
    Sony CXA2126Q

    I figured UKCVS might have something but they apparently dont, im looking for some fairly advanced stuff, not just pinout diagrams but microcode features, register assignments etc. essentialy everything i'll need to write to the hardware in native assembly.

    Its a pretty niche question, i mean most people just come on here with the usual " I R WANTN FREE CAYBUL TEEVEE HOW DOES I GET?" mentality and are happy to flash an image and leech off others efforts. I guess im just looking to build my own images from scratch and push the boundries of justs whats possable on the hardware rather than rely on the hard work of others.

    Tried that already, its old antiquated hardware and generaly its hard to come across anything older than 3 years.

    Had the same headache a few years when i was looking for PowerVR2 and to a lesser degree the SH-4 whitepapers (for dreamcast development) although the ARM7 processor was surprisingly easy to find due to its widespread use.
    The PowerVR2 whitepaper was pretty much essential to 3d development as there was no real z-buffer (effects could however be achieved via a convolouted setup) and the hardware tile renderer was a nightmare to work with due to its stupidly low fill rate.

    Google is always my first port of call, then i do the rounds on different hardware sites that are effectively off the grid, check through newsgroups (all but useless and abandoned these days)
    Everything has turned up a blank :/
