Reference Manual

General User Input/Output

D7–D10,
D12–D15

User LEDs

Eight user LEDs. Illuminates when driven low.

S1–S4

User push buttons

Four user push buttons. Driven low when pressed.

J13

Character LCD

Connector which interfaces to the provided 16 character × 2 line LCD
module.

Memory Devices

U44

SSRAM x18 memory

Standard synchronous RAM which provides a 72-Mbit (Mb) SSRAM
port. This SSRAM is located at the bottom of the board.

U6

Flash x64 memory

Synchronous burst mode flash device which provides a 256-Mb
non-volatile memory port.

U8, U15

DDR2 x32 SDRAM A

Two 16-bit memory device.

U17, U19

DDR2 x32 SDRAM B

Two 16-bit memory device.

Components Interfaces

J7

RJ-45 connector

Provides 10/100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet connection via a Marvell
88E1111 PHY and the FPGA-based Altera Triple Speed Ethernet
MegaCore function in RGMII mode.

U21

Gigabit Ethernet

A Marvell 88E1111 PHY device for 10/100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet
connection. The device is an auto-negotiating Ethernet PHY with an
RGMII interface to the FPGA.

J14

PCIe edge connector

Interfaces to a PCIe root port such as an appropriate PC
motherboard. Made of gold-plated edge fingers for up to ×4 signaling
in Gen1 mode.

J1

HSMC port A

Provides eight transceiver channels and 84 CMOS or 17 LVDS
channels per the HSMC specification.

J2

HSMC port B

Provides eight transceiver channels and 84 CMOS channels per the
HSMC specification.

Power Supply

J5

DC input jack

Accepts a 16-V DC power supply. Do not use this input jack while the
board is plugged into a PCIe slot.

SW3

Power switch

Switch to power on or off the board when power is supplied from the
DC input jack.
