Functional Description Power supplies The power supply of S32G-VNP-RDB3 is comprised of two parts: external 12V AC-DC power adapter and onboard PMIC. The specifications of the 12V AC-DC power adapter are as follows: • Input: 110-240V AC, 50/60 Hz • Output: 12 VDC, 6.67A, 80W MAX The figure below shows the S32G-VNP-RDB3 power supply block diagram.
Boot The BootROM of S32G399A is responsible for booting customer applications and the HSE_H FW. It supports Serial Boot, Boot from RCON, Boot from Fuses. Combined value of Boot mode pins, FUSE_SEL fuse status and Lifecycle control the boot mode .
1-OFF,2-ON BOOTMOD1 value=RESET_B 1-ON, 2-ON BOOTMOD1 value=INV_RESET_B 1-OFF,2-OFF BOOTMOD0 value=0 1-ON, 2-OFF BOOTMOD0 value=1 SW10 1-OFF,2-ON BOOTMOD0 value=RESET_B 1-ON, 2-ON BOOTMOD0 value=INV_RESET_B RCON uses up to 32 general-purpose I/O pins, RCON[0] to RCON[31]. They are latched on functional reset deassertion. RCON[31:0] pins corresponds bit by bit to values in the fuse word BOOT_CFG1[31:0]. Values of these pins will be sampled during S32G399A reset, and these pins can be used for other functions after boot (to be precise after the sample stage).
Reset S32G-VNP-RDB3 supports two kinds of reset: power-on reset and warm reset. Both could reset most of hardware components on board. Power-on reset will be initiated by depressing SW1 and self-triggered reset (warm reset) will be initiated by depressing SW2. Except for the entire board reset, the Ethernet switch and PHY can be individually reset by S32G399A GPIOs.
Clocks The S32G399A has multiple clock sources including FIRC, SIRC, FXOSC. They can be selected to drive clock of system peripherals, cores, and infrastructure. S32G-VNP-RDB3 uses a 40 MHz crystal oscillator as FXOSC. FIRC and SIRC are internal clocks on chip. The figure below shows the Clock Tree of S32G-VNP-RDB3.
JTAG JTAG debug is supported by direct connection to the header connector J48. Users can connect a dedicated debugger, such as Lauterbach or S32 Debug Probe. On the S32G-VNP-RDB3, the 20-pin JTAG header connector carries JTAG signals and the additional signals for S32G399A debugging, and the 10-pin JTAG header connector carries JTAG signals for SJA1110 debugging.
3.7.3 SD/eMMC On S32G-VNP-RDB3, SD card interface and eMMC are connected to the S32G399A uSDHC module with a multiplexed logic. The uSDHC module acts as a bridge, passing host bus transactions to the SD/eMMC cards by sending commands and performing data accesses to/from the cards. The figure below shows the connection between the S32G399A and SD/eMMC.
SerDes Interface The S32G399A has two SerDes instances, and each instance supports two lanes. The S32G-VNP-RDB3 supports both SGMII and PCI Express high-speed serial communication interfaces. The figure below shows the SerDes routing diagram of S32G-VNP-RDB3. SW8 = ON S32G399A PCIe X1 SerDes1 Lan0 •...
Ethernet The GMAC and PFE of the S32G399A enables a host application to transmit and receive data over an Ethernet network in compliance with IEEE 802.3-2015, and the PFE of S32G399A additionally offloads the processing of Ethernet packets from the host cores, yielding higher performance and lower power than pure software processing can achieve.
3.9.1 Ethernet switch The SJA1110 is a firmware based automotive ethernet switch, with an embedded ARM Cortex-M7 core. It has a SPI interface which is used to communicate with S32G399A. Apart from the SPI_HOST, it also contains the SPI_PER interface which can operate as a SPI master for access to other SPI slaves or as a SPI slave to enable inter-processor communication applications.
