    OC3 / STM1 data on all four HRC channels. The HRC has four connector locations; each is occupied by either a 75- BNC coaxial interface with CMI- coded transmission, or a fiber-optic LC with a single-mode 1300 nm transceiver.

    Overview Companion Products For additional resources, the HRC is designed to work with these EDT products: • Required – a PCI / PCIe Main Board (PCI SS, PCI GS, or PCIe8 LX / FX), for DMA and other resources •...
  • Page 7: Installation

    Installation To install the HRC, fit the connectors through the host back panel and then plug into the PCI connector. The BNC is farther from the PCI bus connector, so it can interfere with the host back panel and prevent the bottom of the HRC back panel from being inserted smoothly.
  • Page 8: Fpga Configuration Files

    PCI FPGA is loaded at the factory. However, you’ll need to load the required FPGA configuration file for the UI FPGA yourself. The firmware files specific to your HRC are listed at the beginning of this section. Instructions for loading them are provided in Configuring the HRC.
  • Page 9: Sample Applications

    Tests most EDT boards. Determines the board model and runs the correct loopback test. Building or Rebuilding an Application Executable and PCD source files are in the top-level EDT PCD directory. To build or rebuild an application, make therefore, run in this directory.
  • Page 10: Configuring The Hrc

    Configuring the HRC Configuring the HRC To ensure proper functioning, all EDT boards must be loaded with the correct FPGA configuration files for their FPGAs. At powerup, the PCI / PCIe FPGA is loaded automatically with the correct file from flash memory;...
  • Page 11: Loading The Ui Fpga Firmware And Configuring The Hrc

    The utility loads the UI FPGA configuration files, programs the registers, sets the clocks (if necessary), and gets the HRC ready to perform DMA. This utility takes, as an argument, a software initialization file, and then automatically runs the pertinent commands.

  • Page 17 0x7F Board ID Access / Notes: 8-bit read-write / EDT_BOARDID Used to identify EDT mezzanine boards. A value of 0x2 in the lowest four bits indicates an extended board ID, hard-wired into a nonvolatile complex programmable logic device (CPLD). The extbdid application seeks the identifier in the board ID register; if it finds a value of 0x2, then it seeks the extended board ID from the CPLD instead.
