Here are some general pinout notes on the DIF-AT RBUS and Digital Audio flow, and the connections to the Alesis Chip (which seems to do all the heavy lifting as regards audio and timing) All audio formats go directly into the Alesis chip. The Xilinx chip is handling RBUS only.
<br /> == Repairs - ==After confirming the firmware of the CPLD and the Flash seem intact. I flashed the firmware onto a new NOR flash chip. I also replaced the SRAM (these are almost a consumable, and I have had one of this range fail before, in a different package) I replaced the other chips I had removed. I fixed the traces on the board with new pcb traces. I had to repair a leg of a custom Alesis IC (there are three, two small one large). The chip was bridged with a factory bodge of a capacitor. Removing that, broke the leg off the IC. I was able to grind away the epoxy and solder a new leg in place. The LEDs had metal fatigued off with all the repairs. I ground away the solder resist and was able to solder them directly to the board again. (they are a custom design package. Also, I like to use the original. Only the legs were broken after all) == NOTES - ===
Xilinx CPLD solely handles r-bus output signals, taking from Alexis, re-timing/re -serialising? then output - 4 in 4 out (stereo pairs 8 channel audio)
