Functional Description
4.8
FPGA
The RTM-ATCA-F140 includes a Xilinx XC3S200A-4 FPGA that which performs the following
functions:
Access to control and status signals on SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+
Access to control and status signals on the BCM8727, BCM84754, and BCM84740
Reset handling
Recovery of received clocks from BCM8727 for use as a Synchronous Ethernet reference
clock
Reception of GPS inputs (1PPS, 10MHz, Time-Of-Day)
SPI Flash programmer and multiplexing for BCM8727, BCM84754, and BCM84740
configuration
UART with selectable outputs for the optional GPS receiver (functionality not initially
implemented)
4.8.1
Front-blade Interface
The RTM-ATCA-F140 includes an SPI interface between the front-blade service processor and
the RTM FPGA. There is also an active low interrupt line to the front-blade to request service.
4.8.2
SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ Control and Status
The RTM FPGA provides register access to control the following SFP and SFP+ signals:
SFP TX_DISABLE
SFP RATE_SEL
SFP+ RS0/1 (tied together)
The RTM FPGA provides access to the following SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+ signals:
SFP MOD_ABS
SFP TX_FAULT
SFP LOS
