The mainframe communicates with the plug-ins via the Serial Data Interface (SDI). | |||
This comprises three signals: | |||
* SDI clock | |||
* SDI mainframe to plug-in | |||
* SDI plug-in to mainframe | |||
On the mainframe side, this communication is controlled by the U1760 SDI chip on the A11 Main Processor board | |||
(the top rear board). | |||
