tear down of the Genos

[pjd]

I will eventually write a longer description of the Genos™ compute complex. Here's a few facts to tide you over:

The main CPU is a 1GHz TI AM4376 Sitara Cortex-A9 ARM processor (AM4376BZDN100).
There are two SWP70 tone generator (TG) integrated circuits.
The master TG has 2GBytes (physical) of wave memory (Winbond W29N08GVSIAA).
The slave TG has 4GBytes (physical) of wave memory.
The internal memory is a Toshiba 64GByte eMMC device (THGBMGG9T4LBAIR).

The eMMC device is where you'll find the "58GByte internal memory." The eMMC is connected to one of the ARM's two MMC interfaces.

The Montage's main CPU is an 800MHz TI AM3352 Sitara Cortex-A8 ARM processor (AM3352BZCZ80). Whose the big brother and the little tag-along? 

Too busy playing to study more schematics.

to answer to voodoo (Without polemic at all), I would like to know how many big pc usual intel configurations and vst software licenses are necessary to imitate genos power and its real-time capabilities.

Thanks for that insight pjd,  does that mean a schematic is available for Genos?  :-)

Hi Simon --

The Yamaha service manuals include a block diagram and schematics as well as disassembly information, self-test, etc. Although Markus is entertaining, the service manuals are fair more detailed and definitive.

Happy new year!
