The SMT407 is supported by the SMT6041-407 software package available from
SUNDANCE. Please register on the SUNDANCE
Support Forum if not yet registered.
Then enter your company’s forum and you can request the SMT6041-407 from there.
SMT407 Installation
Do NOT connect any external TTL (5v) signals to the SMT407 I/Os which
connect directly to the FPGA as the FPGA is NOT 5v tolerant. This implies that
the lines on connector P14 of the carrier board MUST be LVTTL and that any
device driving signals on the SHB connectors must drive at LVTTL (3.3v).
You can fit the SMT407 on its own on any PMC compatible carrier board. When
mated with a carrier board such as Twin Industries Xtend1000, it may then be
plugged into a host computer (e.g. Windows PC).
Please, follow these steps to install the SMT407 module on a Host system:
1. Remove the carrier board from the host system.
2. Connect the SHB and/or RSL cable(s) to the top side of SMT407 (if required
by your application).
Version 1.0.0 Page 10 of 38 SMT407 User Manual
3. Place the SMT407 module on a PMC site. (See your carrier board User
Manual.)Make sure that the board is firmly seated before screwing the
SMT407 to the two main mounting holes. Use 10mm M3 Standoffs(Digikey
4391K-ND)and M3 5mm bolts(Digikey H742-ND)to secure the module to any
carrier card.
4. Connect the SHB and/or RSL cables to the back side of the SMT407 (if
required by your application).
5. Replace the carrier board in the host system or power on for a stand-alone
carrier.

QL5064
The QuickLogic PCI bridge is installed on all configurations of SMT407.
This device combines a 66MHz/64-bit PCI Master/Target ASIC core with a one-time
programmable (OTP) FPGA fabric.
The configuration of the FPGA fabric in the QL5064 is performed prior to
manufacturing of the module and can not be changed by the user.
Local bus
QL5064 provides a bridge between the PCI bus of the host system and the Local bus
of the SMT407. There are three primary functions of the Local bus on SMT407:
1) Configuration of the Virtex FPGA
2) Communication with logic designs loaded in the Virtex FPGA
3) Communication with DSPs over JTAG (applies to DSP boards only)

Virtex FPGA configuration
Programming of the Virtex FPGA can be achieved over the PCI bus using the
SelectMAP interface. This interface is 8-bits wide and runs at the full speed of the
Local bus. By simply writing a stream of configuration bytes to the location at CS[0]
the FPGA can be programmed.
An example of this is provided in the SMT6041-407 software package available from
SUNDANCE.
Version 1.0.0 Page 12 of 38 SMT407 User Manual
Virtex FPGA design
Once the FPGA has been programmed the user may then communicate with the
design by means of CS regions 2 and 3. 12 address lines allow for a total
addressable space of 4kB per CS region. Accesses to these regions may be up to
64-bits wide.
An example of this is provided in the SMT6041-407 software package available from
SUNDANCE.
TI JTAG controller
For DSP boards the Texas Instruments SN74ACT8990 is installed. This Test Bus
Controller (TBC) provides XDS510 compatible performance.
Special driver software is required to operate this device. Please contact
SUNDANCE for more information.
Version 1.0.0 Page 13 of 38 SMT407 User Manual
TMS320C6416T
This section applies only to modules built with DSPs.
The processors will run with zero wait states from internal SRAM.
An on-board 50MHz crystal oscillator provides the clock used for the C60s which
then multiply this by 20 to achieve 1GHz internally.
Boot Mode
The SMT407 is configured to boot from Flash only after a reset.
Flash boot:
1. DSPA copies a bootstrap program from the first part of the flash memory into
internal program RAM starting at address 0.
2. Execution starts at address 0.
The standard bootstrap supplied with the SMT407 then performs the following
operations:
1. All relevant C60 internal registers are set to default values;
2. The FPGA is configured from data held in flash memory (DSPA only) and sets
up the communication ports, the global bus and the Sundance High-speed
Buses. This step must have been completed before data can be sent to the
Comports from external sources such as the host or other PMCs;
3. The same boot code is copied to DSPB over HPI and it repeats step 1.
4. A C4x-style boot loader is executed on DSPA and DSPB. This will continually
examine the communication ports until data appears on one of them. The
bootstrap will then load a program in boot format from that port; the loader will
not read data arriving on other ports.
5. Finally, control is passed to the loaded program.
The delay between the release of the board reset and the FPGA configuration is
around TBD s for a SMT407 (1GHz clock).
A typical time to wait after releasing the board reset should be in excess of this delay,
but no damage will result if any of the I/Os are used before they are fully configured.
In fact, the comm. Ports will just produce a not ready signal when data transfer is
attempted during this time, and then continue normally after the FPGA is configured.
EMIF Control Registers
The C6416 has two external memory interfaces (EMIFs). One of these is 64 bits
wide, the other 16 bits.
Version 1.0.0 Page 14 of 38 SMT407 User Manual
The C60 contains several registers that control the external memory interfaces
(EMIFs). A full description of these registers can be found in the C60 Peripherals Reference Guide.
The standard bootstrap will initialise these registers to use the following resources:
Memory space CE0 is used to access 16MB of SDRAM over EMIFA. The SDRAM
operates with a max frequency of 133MHz. The speed of this interface is determined
by a clock oscillator on the board. This speed adjustment is not a user option, but
must be adjusted during manufacture.
The EMIFA CE0 memory space control register should be programmed with the
value 0x00000030.
Note that the DSP only has 20 address pins on the EMIFA, but since address bits are
multiplexed for SDRAM a maximum addressable space of 128MB is possible.
FLASH
An 8MB Flash ROM device is connected to the C60 EMIFB.
Version 1.0.0 Page 15 of 38 SMT407 User Manual
The ROM holds boot code for the C60, configuration data for the FPGA, and optional
user-defined code.
The EMIFB CE1 and CE2 space control registers should be programmed with the
value 0xFFFFFF03.
As the C60 only provides 20 address lines on its EMIFB, both CE1 & CE2 are used
to access this device. This in itself allows the direct access of 4MB. A paging
mechanism is used to select which half of the 8MB device is visible in this 4MB
window.
As the EMIFB CE1 & 2 memory spaces alias throughout the available range, the
flash device can be accessed using the address range 0x67E00000-0x681FFFFF.
This gives a 4MB continuous space.
The flash can be divided into the four logical sections shown in the following figure
(paging bit is bit 21).

sections enabled)
0x6C000001 Page 1 (2nd and 4th
sections enabled)
The EMIFB CE0 space control register should be programmed with the value
0xFFF0C003.
Virtex FPGA
The SMT407 incorporates a Xilinx Virtex II Pro XC2VP50 FPGA (XC2VP20,
XC2VP30, and XC2VP40 are also possible). This device controls the majority of the
I/O functionality on the module, including the Comports, SHBs, timers and interrupts.
Version 1.0.0 Page 16 of 38 SMT407 User Manual
This device requires configuring after power-up (the Virtex technology is an SRAM
based logic array). This configuration is performed by the DSP as part of the boot
process.
Two control register bits are needed for this purpose, one to put the FPGA into a
‘waiting for configuration’ state, and another to actually transfer the configuration
data.
The PROG pin (causes the FPGA to enter the non-configured state) is accessed at
address 0x6C02000X. Writing to address 0x6C020000 will assert this pin, and
address 0x6C0200001 will de-assert this pin.
The configuration data clock is accessed at address 0x6C080001. Each bit of the
FPGA’s configuration bit-stream must be serially clocked through this address.
Note: This configuration process is part of the standard boot code, and does not
need to be implemented in any user application.

FPGA
The module can be fitted with an XC2VP20, XC2VP30, XC2VP40, or XC2VP50

E5386A Half Channel Adapter with E5378A.
Version 1.0.0 Page 20 of 38 SMT407 User Manual
SHB Cable Assembly
The cable is custom made by Precision Interconnect and a cable assembly solution
builder can be found at:
High-speed data transfer can be achieved between PMC modules thanks to the use
of a 60-way flat ribbon micro-coax cable or via PCB connections.
As a result, NO DIFFERENTIAL lines are required to transfer data on long distances
and at speeds in excess of 100MHz, which allows the full use of the SHB connector
60 pins.
Half Word Interface (16-bit SHB Interface)
The SHB connectors provide to the FPGA connections to the external world.
You can implement your own interface to transfer data over using these connectors,
but if you want to communicate with other Sundance modules, you can implement a
Half Word (Hw) interface sitting on 25 pins of an SHB connector.
Then, the SHBs are parallel communication links for synchronous transmission.
An SHB interface is derived from the SDB interface which is a 16-bit wide
synchronous communication interface. (
SUNDANCE SDB specification)
The differences are:
The SHB interface can be made Byte (8 bits), Half Word (16 bits) or
Word (32 bits) wide.
The transfer rate can be increased thanks to better quality interconnect.
As an example, let us consider the Half Word (Hw) SHB interface.
You can implement 2 x 16-bit SHB interfaces per SHB connector, and have some
spare signals for User defined functions. (no differential lines are needed thanks to
our SHB cable assembly described in SHB Cable Assembly).
The SMT407 provides two SHB connectors and can support data rates of 400MB/s
at 100MHz on each of these interfaces.
You must refer to the latest
SUNDANCE SDB specification for technical information
on how it works.
Version 1.0.0 Page 21 of 38 SMT407 User Manual
Constraint File Signal Names
According to the
SUNDANCE SHB specification, 5 Byte-interfaces (from 0 to 4) can
be implemented on the 60 pins of a SHB connector. Each Byte interface has its own
CLK, WEN, REQ and ACK.
The signal names going from the FPGA to the SHB connector use the configuration
of 2 SDB interfaces.
So, when in Half Word configuration:
• 16-bit data D(0 to 15)
• CLK0 is borrowed from Byte configuration 0, WEN1, REQ1 and ACK1 are
borrowed from Byte configuration 1 to make configuration SDBA control
signals and
• CLK3 is borrowed from Byte configuration 3, WEN4, REQ4 ACK4 are
borrowed from Byte configuration 4 to make configuration SDBB control
signals.
The SHB connectors are J3 and JA3. (SeeFigure 10: SMT407 Components placement-
Top view and SeeFigure 11: SMT407 Components placement-Bottom view)
Please refer to section SHB Headers for more information.

RSL Cable Assembly
Cable assemblies with QTE connectors on one side and QSE on the other are like
the flexible versions of the PCB adapters mentioned above.
RSL Interface
The RSL connectors are the fastest FPGA connections available on SMT407.
As RSL are based on RocketIO transceiver blocks, the speed is limited by the speed
grade of FPGA installed:
Based on the above, the 12 bi-directional links of SMT407 can provide a combined
bandwidth of up to 37.5Gbps.
The RSL connectors are J2 and JA4. (SeeFigure 10: SMT407 Components placement-
Top view and SeeFigure 11: SMT407 Components placement-Bottom view)
The RSL connector on the front of the board (J2) is of type “RSL Top”. The RSL
connector on the back of the board (JA4) is of type “RSL Bottom”.
Refer to the latest
SUNDANCE RSL specification for technical information on how it
works.

DSPB EMIFA clock 100MHz*
QL5064 Local bus clock 50MHz
RSL LVDS clock 125MHz

Miscellaneous I/O
There are four LEDs connected directly to the FPGA and four additional LEDs
connected directly to the DSPs (2 each). For DSP modules the software interface to
the LEDs connected to the FPGA is located in the LED register of the standard
Sundance firmware. Bits 0 and 1 of the LED register control the LEDs designated to
the respective DSP. See Table 5 for details on LED identification.
See Figure 10: SMT407 Components placement-Top view.
Power Supplies
Due to the close packing of components between PMC Side 1 and the host module,
power consumption is limited to 4.0W for 10.0mm standoffs (this increases to 6.0W
for 13.0mm standoffs). The total consumption for Side 1 and Side 2 of the module
shall not exceed 7.5W, and represents the total power drawn from all power rails
provided at the connector (+5V, +3.3v, +VI/O, +12V,-12V, +3.3Vaux).
For this reason it is recommended that you analyse the total FPGA device power
drawn by using
Xilinx XPOWER before implementing your design in the FPGA.
This module must have 5V and 3.3V supplied through the PMC connectors. Either
5V or 3.3V may be supplied for PCI I/O voltage and should be consistent with the
signalling standard of the PCI host bus. +12V and -12V are optional and may be
supplied to the PMC connectors as per PMC specifications.
Contained on the module are linear regulators for the FPGA VCCAUX and FPGA
RocketIO. A DC/DC converter supplies the core voltage for the FPGA and DSPs.
DC/DC converter
An International Rectifier IP1201 Power Block is used to supply the 1.5V core voltage
to the FPGA and 1.2V core voltage of the DSPs. The current limits are configured for
10A and 5A, respectively. The DC/DC converter is powered from the 5V supply.
Linear Voltage regulator
The FPGA VCCAUX and FPGA RocketIO voltages are supplied through linear
voltage regulators drawn from 3.3V.
