This is for connecting multiple core boards together to form systems of 32 logical cores or more. It is termed the chain slot.

Page 7: Multiple Core Boards
The core board is powered by a 12V external power supply. 2.3 Power supply Power input to the sliceKIT core board is via a standard barrel jack connector. A standard 12V external power supply should be used to power the board. Each core board requires its own 12V supply. -

8/31 SOCKET_10 XS1-L16 xTAG-2 PLUG_00 Presence detect signals are present on both the Chain connector and Square slot connectors to allow detection of a connected board and subsequent automatic switching of the JTAG chain. In a system of multiple core boards, the Master is the source of the JTAG chain so the system can only be debugged from the master. -

These connections can be used to connect an oscilloscope or logic analyser, or for interconnection of signals for advanced development work. The signals are identified on the silkscreen layer of the sliceKIT core board; the table below lists their relationship to the internal ports. - Page 11 11/31 L16 Pin Slot PCIE Function X0D2 STAR P4A0 P8A0 P16A0 P32A20 CHAIN X0D3 STAR P4A1 P8A1 P16A1 P32A21 CHAIN X0D4 STAR P4B0 P8A2 P16A2 P32A22 CHAIN X0D5 STAR P4B1 P8A3 P16A3 P32A23 CHAIN X0D6 STAR P4B2...

Page 24: Slicecards And Slots
3 sliceCARDs and slots sliceKIT sliceCARDs are used to implement peripheral circuitry as part of the sliceKIT platform. Existing sliceCARDs may connect to some or all of the Star , Triangle , Square and Circle slots. Their compatibility with each slot is indicated by the range of symbols printed on the sliceCARD silkscreen. -
Page 25: Designing A Slicecard
At system power-on, the 5V supply will power up first, followed by the 3V3 supply. The system reset signal will de-assert a short time after this. Due to the constraints on the sliceKIT core board, there are some ports on the sliceCARDs which should be used in preference to others. These constraints are as... -
Page 26: Slicecard Form Factors
Star slot. 4.3 sliceCARD form factors The sliceCARDs use a standard PCIe x1 edge finger to connect to the sliceKIT core board. Because of this, all sliceCARD PCBs must be 1.6mm thick. There is no hard specification as to the length of sliceCARDs as this poses no mechanical clashing hazard, however to avoid clashing with other sliceCARDs or the power input connector, sliceCARDs should be limited to 40mm wide. -
Page 27: Connector Pinouts
27/31 Note that for quick, low cost boards using low cost PCB manufacturing, the chamfer is not required and can be generated by hand using a file or similar. 4.4 Connector pinouts The pinouts of the four types of sliceCARD are shown below. To cross reference pin numbers (e.g. -
