eMMC Flash
The eMMC flash can be used to boot the PS, and to store the FPGA bitstream, ARM application code and
other user data.

Warning!
Other flash memory devices may be equipped in future revisions of the Mars XU3 SoC module. Please
check the user manual regularly for updates.

Signal Description
The eMMC flash signals are connected to the MIO pins 13-22 for 8-bit data transfer mode. The command
signal has a 4.7 k pull-up resistor to 1.8 V and the data lines have 47 k pull-up resistors to 1.8 V.
2.18
SD Card
An SD card can be connected to the PS MIO pins 45-51. The corresponding MIO pins are available on the
module connector. Information on this boot mode is available in Section 3.8.
Please note that external pull-ups are needed for SD card operation. Depending on the selected voltage for
VCC_CFG_MIO, a level shifter to 3.3 V may be required (some level shifters also have built-in pull-ups).
For booting from an Ultra High Speed (UHS) SD card, an SD 3.0 compliant level shifter is required on the
base board and VCC_CFG_MIO must be set to 1.8 V. Please note that this boot mode has not been tested,
but it may be supported in the future.

Gigabit Ethernet
A 10/100/1000 Mbit Ethernet PHY is available on the Mars XU3 SoC module, connected to the PS via RGMII
interface.
