1 Overview

1.1

General

1.1.1

Introduction

The Mercury SA1 SoC module combines the Altera Cyclone® V ARM® processor-based SoC (System-on-
Chip) device with fast DDR3L SDRAM, USB 2.0 On-The-Go PHY, PCIe® Gen1
gigabit transceivers, high-speed LVDS I/O, and is available in industrial temperature range, forming a com-
plete and powerful embedded processing system.
The use of the Mercury SA1 SoC module, in contrast to building a custom SoC hardware, significantly simpli-
fies system design and thus shortens time to market and decreases the development effort of your product.
Together with Mercury base boards, the Mercury SA1 SoC module allows the user to quickly build a system
prototype and start with application development.
The Enclustra Build Environment [14] is available for the Mercury SA1 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 preloader. It downloads and
compiles all required software, such as U-Boot, Linux, and BusyBox based root file system.
1.1.2

Warranty

Please refer to the General Business Conditions, available on the Enclustra website [1].
Warning!
Please note that the warranty of an Enclustra module is voided if the FPGA fuses are blown. This
operation is done at own risk, as it is irreversible. Enclustra cannot test the module in case of a warranty
product return.
1.1.3

RoHS

The Mercury SA1 SoC module is designed and produced according to the Restriction of Hazardous Sub-
stances (RoHS) Directive (2011/65/EC).
1.1.4

Disposal and WEEE

The Mercury SA1 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 Mer-
cury SA1 SoC module.
1.1.5

Safety Recommendations and Warnings

Mercury 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 Mercury SA1
SoC module, connecting interfaces, 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.
