The CrossLink-NX Evaluation Board features the CrossLink-NX FPGA in the 400-ball caBGA package (LIFCL-40-9BG400C) w the ability to expand the usability of the CrossLink-NX with Raspberry Pi, PMOD, FMC LPC connector, along with access to PCIe channel. 118 wide range I/O and 37 high speed differential pairs are available for user-defined applications.
1.4. Applying Power to the Board Power LEDs light after applying 12 V power to CrossLink-NX Evaluation Board to indicate the board is functioning. An Early I/O demo design is programmed into on-board boot flash as the default pattern. With this pattern, LED0 (D3) (mapped an early I/O) immediately turns on as soon as 12 V power is supplied to the board.
CrossLink-NX Evaluation Board User Guide 3. Power Scheme The CrossLink-NX Evaluation Board has most of its power supplied by onboard regulators powered by an external 12 V power. Refer to Appendix A. CrossLink-NX Evaluation Board Schematics to see the details of these power supply options.
USB cable from a PC with Radiant Programmer tool installed to the mini USB connector on the board (J2). A mini USB to USB-A cable is included in the CrossLink-NX Evaluation Kit. The USB hub on the PC detects the cable of the USB function on Port 0, making the built-in cable available for use with the Radiant programming software.
The board provides support for UART configuration by providing an uninstalled connection between the FTDI and CrossLink-NX. Two 0 Ω resistors (R16 and R17) can be installed to connect Port 1 to two general purpose I/O (PR8A/F16 and PR10A/F18) in Bank 6 as shown in Figure 6.1.
6.3.1. SPI Configuration One of the major functions of SPI connections on the board is to support CrossLink-NX configuration from the SPI Flash or the Parallel Configuration Header. The CrossLink-NX Evaluation Board can support both Master SPI (MSPI) and Slave SPI (SSPI) modes for CrossLink-NX configuration.
7.1. DIP Switch Eight CrossLink-NX pins are connected to the SW1 DIP switch to allow for manually actuated inputs to the FPGA. One side of each switch is connected to GPIOs within the VCCIO2 bank and pulled up through 4.7 kΩ resistors. The other side is grounded.
CrossLink-NX Evaluation Board User Guide 7.3. General Purpose LEDs The CrossLink-NX Evaluation Board provides fourteen LEDs that are connected to I/O within Bank 1 & 0. The LEDs are lighted when the output is driven LOW. Table 7.3. General Purpose LED Signals...
FMC_SDA 8.3. Raspberry Pi Board GPIO Header The CrossLink-NX Evaluation Board provides a 40-pin receptacle which is compatible with the GPIO header of Raspberry Pi 2/3 serial models, or can be used for general purpose I/O. Table 8.3. Raspberry Pi JP8 Header Pin Connections...
PMOD2_4 PMOD2_7 PMOD2_8 PMOD2_9 PMOD2_10 8.7. JTAG Header The J1 header is used to access the JTAG port of the CrossLink-NX or the Raspberry Pi interface. Table 8.7. J1 Header Pin Connections J1 Pin Name Signal Name LIFCL-40 Ball VCCIO1 —...
J25 is connected to the positive input (see Figure A.9). To effectively utilize the ADC test access circuit on the Crosslink-NX Evaluation Board Revision B, follow these guidelines: For single-ended use, voltages applied to J25-2 should be positive relative to voltages applied to J24-2. Do not use shunt position 1-2 for either J24 and J25.
