Functional Descriptions Power supply The power supply of the S32G-VNP-GLDBOX is comprised of two parts: the external 12V AC-DC power adapter and the onboard PMIC. The specifications of the 12V AC-DC power adapter are listed below: • Input: 110-240V AC, 50/60 Hz •...
S32G2 booting. By default, the FUSE_SEL fuses of the S32G2 are not blown therefore the S32G-VNP-GLDBOX shipped from the factory only supports two boot modes: serial boot mode and boot from RCON. The figure below shows the related circuit of the boot mode pin0 and pin1.
RCON pins. Reset The S32G-VNP-GLDBOX has two optional hardware-triggered reset sources: POR_RESET and RESET_B. POR_RESET (pressing SW1) can initiate a power-on reset for S32G274A. RESET_B (pressing SW2) can initiate an external reset for S32G274A. As shown in the figure below, Except the entire board reset, the SJA1110 can also be reset by S32G274A GPIO , and the Ethernet PHYs can also be reset by S32G274A GPIOs or SJA1110 GPIO.
Clocks The S32G274A has multiple clock sources: FIRC, SIRC, FXOSC, PLL and DFS. The S32G-VNP-GLDBOX has a 40 MHz crystal oscillator as FXOSC along with the FIRC and SIRC of the internal clock sources in S32G274A. The PLL and DFS can be enabled and configured through software. The figure below shows the clock tree of S32G-VNP-GLDBOX.
JTAG Connections The S32G-VNP-GLDBOX has a 20-pin JTAG slot for S32G274A and a 10-pin JTAG slot for SJA1110. User can connect a debugger (such as Lauterbach or S32 Debug Probe) to S32G274A through the 20-pin JTAG slot. Similarly, user can connect a debugger to SJA1110 through the 10-pin JTAG slot.
Figure 9. Connection between S32G274A and the NOR flash chip 3.7.3 SD/eMMC The S32G274A uSDHC module on the S32G-VNP-GLDBOX can connects to the SD card or the eMMC, and user can change the connection through SW3. The figure below shows the connections between the S32G274A and SD/eMMC.
When SW3 is ON, SD card is selected; When SW3 is OFF, the eMMC card is selected. SerDes interfaces The S32G274A on the S32G-VNP-GLDBOX has two independent SerDes modules, and each of them supports two lanes. The S32G-VNP-GLDBOX supports both SGMII mode and PCIe mode.
IEEE 802.3-2015, and the PFE of S32G2 offloads the processing of Ethernet packets from the host cores and can provide higher performance and lower power than pure software processing can achieve. The figure below is the Ethernet Connection Diagram of the S32G-VNP-GLDBOX.
3.9.1 Automotive Ethernet switch The S32G-VNP-GLDBOX has an automotive Ethernet switch SJA1110 which mainly comprises of a configurable Ethernet switch and a programmable M7 core. Except the Ethernet ports and SMI bus port, the SJA1110 also has a QuadSPI port, a SPI_HOST port and a SPI_AP port.
