Chapter 3
Qixis Programming Model
The system controller CPLD contains many registers which may be used to monitor and
control both the processor and hardware on the RDB. A 3-pin header on the system
allows remote monitoring/control of the system, or the processor can access these
registers itself using I2C port 1, using the standard address of 0x66. This address and the
register layout adheres to the QixMin (minimal Qixis) standards, allowing easier code
reuse across platforms. This chapter explains each of the registers in the register block.
This table shows the register memory map for Qixis.
