Configuration, Status, and Setup Elements

Configuration

This section describes the FPGA, flash memory, and MAX II CPLD System Controller device programming methods supported by the Stratix V GX transceiver signal integrity development board.
The Stratix V GX transceiver signal integrity development board supports three configuration methods:
Embedded USB-Blaster is the default method for configuring the FPGA at any
time using the Quartus II Programmer in JTAG mode with the supplied USB cable.
MAX II and flash FPP download for configuring the FPGA using stored images
from the flash on either power-up or pressing the reset push-button (S5).
JTAG header (J93) for initial debugging and to bring up the on-board USB-Blaster
circuitry.
Manufacturing

FPGA Programming over Embedded USB-Blaster
Programming the FPGA over embedded USB-Blaster is implemented using a type-B USB connector (CN1), a USB 2.0 PHY device, and an Altera MAX II CPLD EPM2210F256C3N (U19). This allows configuration of the FPGA using a USB cable directly connected between the USB port on the board (CN1) and a USB port of a PC running the Quartus II software. The JTAG chain is normally mastered by the embedded USB-Blaster found in the MAX II CPLD System Controller.
A green USB-Blaster LED (D8) indicates the USB-Blaster activity. The embedded USB-Blaster is automatically disabled when you connect an external USB-Blaster to the JTAG chain at the JTAG header (J93).

MAX II CPLD System Controller
The EPM570M100 MAX II CPLD (U16) is dedicated to the on-board USB-Blaster functionality. The CPLD connects to the FT245BL USB FIFO device on one side and drives the JTAG signals out the other side on the general purpose I/O (GPIO) pins. A 64x16 EEPROM connects to the CPLD device and stores the factory image for USB–JTAG functionality.
FPGA Programming from Flash Memory
On power-up, the MAX II CPLD System Controller’s parallel flash loader (PFL) configures the FPGA from the flash memory. The system controller uses the Altera Parallel Flash Loader (PFL) megafunction to read 16-bit data from the flash memory and converts it to fast passive parallel (FPP) format. This 8-bit data is then written to the FPGA’s dedicated configuration pins during configuration.
The FPP configuration is implemented with an Altera MAX II CPLD together with the Micron PC2800AP30BF 1-Gbit CFI NOR-type flash device (U21). The CPLD shares the flash interface with the FPGA. The configuration program select, PGMSEL jumper (J28) selects between two Programmer Object Files (.pof) files (factory or user) stored in the flash. The configuration mode select signals, MSEL[4:0], are pulled to [ FPP x16 on the board for FPP mode configuration.
There are three configuration status LEDs,
USER_IMAGE
(D9, D10, D11) which indicate the status of the FPP configuration. For
CONFIG_ERR, FACTORY_IMAGE
, and
information on the configuration status LEDs, refer to “Status Elements” on

Flash Programming
Flash programming is possible through a variety of methods using the Stratix V GX device.
The first method is to use the factory design called the Board Update Portal. This design is an embedded webserver, which serves the Board Update Portal web page. The web page allows you to select new FPGA designs including hardware, software, or both in an industry-standard S-Record File (.flash) and write the design to the user hardware page (page 1) of the flash over the network.
The secondary method is to use the pre-built PFL design included in the development kit. The development board implements the Altera PFL megafunction for flash programming. The PFL megafunction is a block of logic that is programmed into an Altera programmable logic device (FPGA or CPLD). The PFL functions as a utility for writing to a compatible flash device. This pre-built design contains the PFL megafunction that allows you to write either page 0, page 1, or other areas of flash over the USB interface using the Quartus II software. This method is used to restore the development board to its factory default settings.
Other methods to program the flash can be used as well, including the Nios processor.

The JTAG header provides another method for configuring the FPGA (U29) using an external USB-Blaster device with the Quartus II Programmer running on a PC. The external USB-Blaster is connected to the board through the JTAG header (J93). The JTAG DIP switch (S7) allows the MAX II CPLD device to be removed from the JTAG chain so that the FPGA is the only device on the JTAG chain.

The JTAG header provides another method for configuring the FPGA using an Altera USB-Blaster dongle with the Quartus II Programmer running on a PC.

This section describes the board's dedicated and general purpose clocks.

Dedicated Transceiver Clocks

Four differential clock sources are provided from the I2C programmable VCO oscillators to the dedicated REFCLK input pins of transceiver blocks on both sides of the FPGA. The default frequencies for these four oscillators at startup are 625 MHz,
644.53125 MHz, 706.25 MHz, and 875 MHz. The default frequencies can be overridden and a different frequency can be programmed into the oscillators to support other protocols. Each oscillator supports a programmable frequency range of 10 MHz–1.4 GHz and provide a trigger output to an SMA connector for scope or other lab equipment triggering purposes.
Figure 2–6 shows the default frequencies of all external clocks going to the Stratix V
GX transceiver signal integrity development board.

Transceiver Channels
The transceiver signal integrity development board dedicates 31 (out of 32) 12.5-Gbps transceiver channels from both the left and right sides of the device to various backplane connectors—SFP+ and XFP cages, and SMA connectors. One 12.5-Gbps channel on the 28 Gbps side of the device is a dedicated CMUclk input from SMA connectors.

Components and Interfaces
This section describes the development board's communication ports and interface cards relative to the Stratix V GX device. The development board supports the following components and interfaces:
10/100/1000 Ethernet
Transceiver interfaces
XFP interface
SFP+ interface

10/100/1000 Ethernet

The development board supports a 10/100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet connection using a Marvell 88E1111 PHY device and the Altera Triple-Speed Ethernet MegaCore MAC function. The device is an auto-negotiating Ethernet PHY with an SGMII interface to the FPGA. The Stratix V GX device can communicate with the LVDS interfaces at up to 1.25 Gbps. The MAC function must be provided in the FPGA for typical networking applications. The Marvell 88E1111 PHY uses 2.5-V and 1.2-V power rails and requires a 25-MHz reference clock driven from a dedicated oscillator. It interfaces to an RJ-45 with internal magnetics that can be used for driving copper lines with Ethernet traffic.
Figure 2–9 shows the SGMII interface between the FPGA (MAC) and Marvell 88E1111
PHY.

This 16-bit data memory interface can sustain burst read operations at up to 52 MHz for a throughput of 832 Mbps per device. The write performance is 270 µs for a single word and 310 µs for a 32-word buffer. The erase time is 800 ms for a 128 K parameter block.
Tab le 2– 38 lists the flash pin assignments, signal names, and functions. The signal
names and types are relative to the Stratix V GX device in terms of I/O setting and direction.

Power Supply

Power Supply
A laptop style DC power input provides power to the development board. The input voltage must be in the range of 14 V to 20 V. The DC voltage is then stepped down to the various power rails used by the components on the board.
An on-board multi-channel power monitor device (LTC2978) measures both the voltage and current for several specific board rails. This device has the capability to trim voltage outputs ±10%.
Tab le 2– 40 lists the power requirements for each major component on the board.

Power Measurement

There are 6 voltage rails tied to two LTC2978 power monitor devices. These devices are capable of measuring the voltage and current for each voltage rail. The device can also provide power sequencing. A sense resistor at each voltage rail is in place for these measurements. These devices are also capable of trimming the output voltage ±10%. An I

C bus connects to the MAX II CPLD and FPGA devices for control.

voltage rails read 0.90 V and 2.5 V respectively and will not come up to the proper levels. This is due to the LTC2978 device trying to adjust these rails to their programed values, which it cannot due to the switch position of SW2. The work around to this issue is to set switch SW2 in the close position at power up.

Temperature Sense

The Stratix V GX die uses a MAX1619 temperature sense device for temperature monitoring. The device connects to the MAX II CPLD EPM2210 System Controller and the Stratix V GX device by a 2-wire SMB interface. The MAX1619 device is located at slave address 0011000b (18h).
