It is only a 400MHz DSP/RISC (no additional processor). The Blackfin is 
a DSP with good general purpose processor characteristics. The 400MHz 
clock is internally derived from a 25MHz crystal.

The front control panel could be simply a touch-screen. I've used this 
board with a 7" 800x480 TFTs and with 2.83" 320x240 OLED displays, both 
with TPs.
