1 Overview

1.1

General

1.1.1

Introduction

The Mars XU3 SoC module combines the Xilinx Zynq® UltraScale+ MPSoC (Multiprocessor System-on-Chip)
device with USB 3.0, PCIe® Gen2 4, USB 2.0 On-The-Go PHY, Gigabit Ethernet, DDR4 SDRAM, eMMC flash,
high-speed LVDS I/O, and is available in industrial temperature range, forming a complete and powerful em-
bedded processing system.
The use of the Mars XU3 SoC module, in contrast to building a custom MPSoC hardware, significantly re-
duces development effort and redesign risk and improves time-to-market for the embedded system.
Together with Mars base boards, the Mars XU3 SoC module allows the user to quickly build a system pro-
totype and start with application development.
The Enclustra Build Environment [15] is available for the Mars XU3 SoC module. This build system allows
the user to quickly set up and run Linux on any Enclustra SoC module. It allows the user to choose the
desired target and download all the required binaries, such as bitstream and FSBL (First Stage Boot Loader).
It downloads and compiles all required software, such as U-Boot, Linux, and BusyBox based root file system.

Warranty

Please refer to the General Business Conditions, available on the Enclustra website [1].
1.1.3

RoHS

The Mars XU3 SoC module is designed and produced according to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances
(RoHS) Directive (2011/65/EC).
1.1.4

Disposal and WEEE

The Mars XU3 SoC module must be properly disposed of at the end of its life.
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive (2002/96/EC) is not applicable for the Mars
XU3 SoC module.
1.1.5

Safety Recommendations and Warnings

Mars modules are not designed to be "ready for operation" for the end-user. These can only be used in
combination with suitable base boards. Proper configuration of the hardware before usage is required.
Ensure that the power supply is disconnected from the board before inserting or removing the Mars XU3
SoC module, connecting interfaces, replacing batteries, or connecting jumpers.
Touching the capacitors of the DC-DC converters can lead to voltage peaks and permanent damage; over-
voltage on power or signal lines can also cause permanent damage to the module.
Warning!
Use the Mars XU3 SoC module only with base boards designed for the Enclustra Mars module family.
Inserting the Mars XU3 SoC module into a SO-DIMM connector designed for memory (e.g. a computer
main board) may damage the module and the carrier board.
