Memory Devices
J7 DDR2 SODIMM DDR2 x64 SODIMM 200-pin connector and is populated with a
1-Gbyte memory module.
U13 DDR3 x16 memory Independent 16-bit 128-Mbyte DDR3 memory port.
U22 SSRAM x36 memory Standard synchronous RAM which makes a 36-bit 2-Mbyte SRAM
port.
U23 Flash x16 memory Synchronous burst mode flash device which provides a 16-bit
64-Mbyte non-volatile memory port.
Communication Ports
J14 PCI Express edge connector Made of gold-plated edge fingers for up to ×8 signaling in Gen1 mode.
J2 HSMC port A Provides four transceiver channels and 80 CMOS or 17 LVDS channels
per the HSMC specification.
J1 HSMC port B Provides four transceiver channels and 78 CMOS channels per the
HSMC specification (only populated when a EP2AGX260 device is
installed).
J6 USB type-B connector USB interface for programming the FPGA through embedded
USB-Blaster JTAG via a type-B USB cable.
J8 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 connector which provides a 10/100/1000 Ethernet connection
via a Marvell 88E1111 PHY and the FPGA-based Altera Triple Speed
Ethernet MegaCore function in RGMII mode.
Display Ports
J3 Character LCD Connector which interfaces to the provided 16 character × 2 line LCD
module along with two standoffs at MTH7 and MTH8.
Power Supply
J14 PCI Express edge connector Interfaces to a PCI Express root port such as an appropriate PC
motherboard.
J4 DC input jack Accepts a 14-V – 20-V DC power supply. This input jack is not to be
used while the board is plugged into a PCI Express slot.
SW1 Power switch Switch to power on or off the board when power is supplied from the
DC input jack.
