While there isn't a lot documentation for the reference design, have you
taken a close look at the code? When you do, it would be handy to have a
copy of the TI data sheet for the video DAC handy. It is a pretty robust but
straight forward implementation for a frame buffer device. If you need more
reference material, on XESS's web site (http://www.xess.com
<http://www.xess.com/> ) there is a reference design (for a Xilinx device)
with supporting documentation.
