The inner and outer diameters of the mating plug are 2.0 mm and 5.5 mm respectively. Fan/12 V Internal Power Connector (J1302) The Mars EB1 base board can alternatively be powered through the internal power input connector. The 12 V DC power source connected to J1302 must be filtered by external power circuitry.
The power and data signals on this connector are ESD-protected. Micro USB 2.0 Device Connectors (J401/J402) There are two micro USB 2.0 device connectors on the Mars EB1 base board: one on the front panel and one on the side.
The power and data signals on J401/J402 connectors are ESD-protected. Gigabit Ethernet Port (J900) The Mars EB1 base board is equipped with a 10/100/1000 Mbit Ethernet port. The capability of the Ethernet interface depends on the connected Mars module. The RJ45 connector J900 is connected through magnetics directly to the Mars module connector. For details on the Ethernet interface, refer to Section 6.4.
The Anios I/O connector can be used for user applications: it provides 24 user I/Os, a differential clock connection, connectivity to the I2C bus, and power supply connections. The clock, data and I2C signals are routed to the module connector - for details, refer to the Mars EB1 Base Board User Schematics [5]. Warning! The Anios I/O pins are connected directly to the FPGA/SoC device.
The battery holder and battery are not mounted in the standard configuration of the Mars EB1 base board. The battery on the Mars EB1 base board is used for buffering the real-time clock on the connected Mars FPGA/SoC module. If required, a 3 V lithium battery (CR1220) can be used.
FPGA/SoC device as well as other devices on the module or Mars EB1 base board. The JTAG connector available on the Mars EB1 base board can be used in combination with Xilinx Platform Cable USB or Intel USB-Blaster download cable. For Xilinx JTAG connection, the flying wire adapter must be used.

USB VBUS power connection Power over USB As soon as a USB cable is plugged into the Mars EB1 base board, the system controller and the FTDI USB 2.0 device controller are powered over USB; this will cause the SC LED to blink.
If power control is disabled, the Mars EB1 base board and the mounted module are powered as soon as power is applied through external or internal power connectors. If power control is enabled, the Mars module is not powered, even when power is applied to the Mars EB1 base board.

The Ethernet magnetics and the RJ45 connector are equipped on the base board, while the Ethernet PHY is equipped on the Mars module. The Ethernet port on the Mars EB1 base board can be used as 1 Gigabit Ethernet port or as 2 10/100 Mbit Ethernet ports, depending on the equipped Mars module.
6.5.2 USB 2.0 Device Controller (FTDI) The FTDI FT2232HQ USB 2.0 device controller present on the Mars EB1 base board can be used to easily implement a communication link to a host PC. The FTDI device is connected to the system controller and can be used for various communication protocols.
I2C Communication There are several I2C devices on the Mars EB1 base board, connected to the I2C communication lines. These are presented in Table 25. Note that the I2C signals connected to the Mars connector address other I2C devices equipped on the Mars module.
User EEPROM The Mars EB1 base board features a user EEPROM which may be accessed via I2C. It can be used to store user data (e.g. a serial number) and can be accessed by the FPGA and by the system controller.
SPI NOR Flash The SPI NOR flash is not equipped in the standard configuration of the Mars EB1 base board. The current system controller firmware does not support communication between the SPI NOR flash and the Mars module. 6.10 System Controller...
