Compatibility requirements¶

If you need to determine the compatibility of a development board that is not listed here, or you are designing a carrier board to mate with the Ethernet FMC, please check your board against the list of requirements below.

VADJ¶

The development board must have the ability to supply a VADJ voltage of either 1.8VDC or 2.5VDC. The Ethernet FMC has an EEPROM containing IPMI data to be used by a power management device. If the development board has such a power management device, the correct VADJ will be applied automatically on power-up. Note that some development boards require the VADJ voltage to be configured by a DIP switch or jumper placement.

Port 0¶

FMC pins LA00, LA02, LA03, LA04, LA05, LA06, LA07, LA08 must be connected to the FPGA
All of the above pins must be connected to the same I/O bank
Ideally, LA00 should be routed to a clock capable pin

Port 1¶

FMC pins LA01, LA06, LA09, LA10, LA11, LA12, LA13, LA14, LA15, LA16 must be connected to the FPGA
All of the above pins must be connected to the same I/O bank
Ideally, LA01 should be routed to a clock capable pin

Port 2¶

FMC pins LA17, LA19, LA20, LA21, LA22, LA23, LA24, LA25 must be connected to the FPGA
All of the above pins must be connected to the same I/O bank
Ideally, LA17 should be routed to a clock capable pin

Port 3¶

FMC pins LA18, LA26, LA27, LA28, LA29, LA30, LA31, LA32 must be connected to the FPGA
All of the above pins must be connected to the same I/O bank
Ideally, LA18 should be routed to a clock capable pin

If any of LA00, LA01, LA17 or LA18 are not connected to a clock capable pin, you may experience difficulty achieving timing closure in your FPGA design. In some cases, timing closure can be still be achieved using non-clock capable pins by using carefully designed timing constraints.

Mini-ITX 7100 Base Kit¶

The Mini-ITX cannot be used with any version of the Ethernet FMC. The FMC connector on this carrier was positioned such that the FMC card would face inwards, with the I/O connectors (in this case the RJ45 connectors) pointing towards the center of the board. In the case of the Ethernet FMC, the Zynq-7000 device and heat-sink would block access to the RJ45 connectors, making them unusable.

Configuration¶

DIP switch S5 must be properly configured for correct boot and VADJ voltage. Use one of the following settings depending on your desired boot mode.

DIP Switch S5
1	2	3	4	Boot mode
ON	ON	x	ON	SD/microSD or flash if no SD detected
OFF	ON	x	ON	eMMC
ON	OFF	x	ON	PJTAG0
OFF	OFF	x	ON	Main JTAG

S5-3: Don’t care - is user defined (by CPLD)
S5-4: Must be ON for FMC_VADJ 1.8V (OFF sets FMC_VADJ to 1.2V which is not supported by Ethernet FMC)

General board notes¶

The TEBF0808 requires a modified FSBL to setup clocks on the board before the bitstream is loaded and the application/OS is launched. The modifications are included in the example design repository and they are also described on the Trenz Wiki for the TE0808 StarterKit.

Footnotes¶

1(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12): We recommend using the 2.5V version on this board however it can support the 1.8V version with limitation. The FMC connector on this development board connects to HR (high-range) I/Os on the FPGA. Although HR I/Os can support many different I/O standards at 1.8V and 2.5V, when it comes to LVDS they only support the LVDS_25 standard which is designed for 2.5V. LVDS is required to receive the Ethernet FMC’s 125MHz clock. For this reason, we recommend using the 2.5V version Ethernet FMC with all development boards whose FMC connector is linked to HR I/Os. If you must use the 1.8V Ethernet FMC on one of these boards, do not use the 125MHz clock in your FPGA design and instead use a local clock source with sufficient precision for Gigabit Ethernet.
2(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20): The device on this development board only has HP (high-performance) I/Os that don’t support 2.5V levels. This board can therefore only support the 1.8V version Ethernet FMC. because they only have HP (high-performance) I/Os that don’t support 2.5V levels.
3(1,2): The ML605 has a fixed VADJ of 2.5V.
