Slicecards And Slots - XMOS sliceKIT Hardware Manual

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. A sliceCARD with all four symbols is
compatible with all slots, a subset of symbols indicates that some slots don't have
sufficient I/O or suitable I/O resources to work with that sliceCARD.
Star and Square sliceCARDs have 20 xCORE I/Os including four 1-bit ports.
Triangle sliceCARDs have 24 xCORE I/Os including twelve 1-bit ports.
Circle sliceCARDs have 20 xCORE I/Os including twelve 1-bit ports.
A double sliceCARD is a board with two sliceCARD finger connectors and connects
to all of the I/Os on one Tile (e.g. to Star + Triangle or to Circle + Square .)
Note that sliceCARDs compatible with a given slot may still have restrictions when
used in that slot (typically less common or popular functionality may be disabled).
Check the sliceCARD documents for details.
