ARTIX-7 SoM FPGA Core Board AC7200 User Manual Part 6: LED Light on Core Board There are 3 red LED lights on the AC7200 FPGA core board, one of which is the power indicator light (PWR), one is the configuration LED light (DONE), and one is the user LED light.
ARTIX-7 SoM FPGA Core Board AC7200 User Manual Part 7: Reset Key There is a reset key on the AC7200 FPGA core board. The reset key is connected to the normal IO of the BANK34 of the FPGA chip. The user can use this reset key to initialize the FPGA program.
ARTIX-7 SoM FPGA Core Board AC7200 User Manual Part 8: JTAG Interface The JTAG test socket J1 is reserved on the AC7200 core board for JTAG download and debugging when the core board is used alone. Figure 8-1 is the schematic part of the JTAG port, which involves TMS, TDI, TDO, TCK.
ARTIX-7 SoM FPGA Core Board AC7200 User Manual Part 9: Power Interface on the Core Board In order to make the AC7200 FPGA core board work alone, the core board is reserved with the 2PIN power interface (J3). When the user supplies power to the core board through 2PIN power interface (J3), it cannot be powered through the carrier board.
ARTIX-7 SoM FPGA Core Board AC7200 User Manual Part 10: Board to Board Connectors The core board has a total of four high-speed board to board connectors. The core board uses four 80-pin inter-board connectors to connect to the carrier board. The IO port of the FPGA is connected to the four connectors by differential routing.
