Gigabit Ethernet Port (J900); Mini Camera Link Connectors (J600/J700); Hdmi Connector (J1000) - Enclustra Mars EB1 Base Board User Manual

The micro USB connector on the side can be connected to the on-board FTDI device, and the micro USB on
the front panel can be either connected to the FTDI device, or to the USB signals coming from the module
connector. The configuration is done by changing the position of the DIP switches - refer to Sections 6.5
and 6.3 for details.
The base board can be powered via any of the micro USB 2.0 device connectors; further information on USB
power is available in Section 5.2.
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.
4.8

Mini Camera Link Connectors (J600/J700)

The Mars EB1 base board is equipped with two Mini Camera Link connectors. The signals available on these
connectors are routed directly to/from the FPGA banks on the SoC/FPGA device on the Mars module.
Power over Camera Link (POCL) for the two connectors can be activated via two enable signals: PWR_EN_CAM0
and PWR_EN_CAM1. These signals can be toggled by writing the corresponding registers in the system con-
troller - refer to section 6.10 for details. By default, the power over Mini Camera Link is not active.
The signals on the connectors have no termination resistors and they are ESD-protected.
The pinout on the J600/J700 connectors corresponds to the Mini Camera Link standard maintained by AIA
(Automated Imaging Association). In order to receive and transmit video signals through the links, FPGA
support is required (video protocol implementation).
4.9

HDMI Connector (J1000)

The Mars EB1 base board is equipped with an HDMI connector. The signals available on this connector are
routed directly to/from the FPGA banks on the SoC/FPGA device on the Mars module.
The power connection for the HDMI is activated by an enable signal: PWR_EN_HDMI. This signal can be
activated by writing the corresponding register in the system controller - refer to section 6.10 for details. By
default, the power over HDMI is not active.
The signals on this connector have 50
The I2C communication on the HDMI connector is currently not supported. The I2C connectivity circuits
present in the board schematics are intended for future use.
The pinout on the J1000 connectors corresponds to the HDMI standard. In order to receive and transmit
video signals through the links, FPGA support is required (video protocol implementation).
The Enclustra Display Controller IP Core [3] can be easily integrated into any user design and facilitates the
development of FPGA video applications.
