Is FSYNC required without AIF?

We are designing a C6474 based platform.

The Frame Sync Module is is required for the AIF to operate. But, We are not using the Antenna Interface.

So do we need to connect anything to the FSM pins?

The FSM is used only by AIF and if your are not using AIF you need to handle these pins as mentioned in the hardware design guide section 7.8.

Arun,

Thank you for your response.

Our qquestion was based on a statement in teh hardware design guide. It says that teh FSM supplies clocks to all of the device. (Or something to that effect.)

It would be great if someone would add a statement that states, "The FSM is only used by the AIF. If the AIF is not being used, hande the pins per..."

Reguards,

Thanks for bring that to our attention. Let me take a look and will initiate a proper change in the next release of the Hardware design guide if possible.

Thanks,

Arun.
