3 Device Configuration Configuration Signals The PS of the MPSoC needs to be configured before the FPGA logic can be used. Xilinx Zynq devices need special boot images to boot from QSPI flash, eMMC flash or SD card. For more information, refer to the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC Technical Reference Manual [22].
Pull‐Up During Configuration The Pull‐Up During Configuration signal ﴾PUDC﴿ is pulled to GND on the module; as PUDC is an active‐ low signal, all FPGA I/Os will have the internal pull‐up resistors enabled during device configuration. If the application requires the pull‐up during configuration to be disabled, this can be achieved by re‐ moving R201 component and by mounting R228 ‐...
Table describes the available boot modes on the Mercury+ XU1 SoC module. PJTAG_EN# signal is only available on the optional debug connector. It has a 10 k pull‐up resistor to VCC_CFG_MIO, therefore it may be left unconnected.
The VREF pin of the programmer must be connected to VCC_CFG_MIO. It is recommended to add 22 series termination resistors between the module and the JTAG header, close to the source. Refer to the Enclustra Module Pin Connection Guidelines for details on JTAG interface. 3.6.3 PJTAG on Debug Connector The JTAG pins available on the debug connector are used by the ARM DAP for debugging the PS.

refer to the Xilinx documentation [22] and support. Alternatively, the QSPI flash can be programmed in u‐boot or Linux by the SPI controller in the PS or from an SPI external master. 3.12 QSPI Flash Programming from an External SPI Master The signals of the QSPI flash are directly connected to the module connector for flash access, as shown in Table 42.
3.13 Enclustra Module Configuration Tool In combination with an Enclustra base board, the QSPI flash can be programmed using Enclustra Module Configuration Tool ﴾MCT﴿ [20]. For this method, a non‐QSPI boot mode must be used during QSPI flash programming. The entire procedure is described in the reference design documentation, and is only available starting with revision 2 modules.
4 I2C Communication Overview The I2C bus on the Mercury+ XU1 SoC module is connected to the MPSoC device and to the EEPROM, and is available on the module and debug connectors. This allows external devices to read the module type and to connect more devices to the I2C bus.
Secure EEPROM The secure EEPROM is used to store the module serial number and configuration. An example demon‐ strating how to read the module information from the EEPROM memory is included in the Mercury+ XU1 SoC module reference design. Any attempt to write data to the secure EEPROM causes the warranty to be rendered void.
