The installation requires a MicroTCA backplane, a power supply, and cooling devices. Before installing or uninstalling the NAT-AMC-ARRIA10-FMC, read the Installation Guide and the User’s Manual of the NAT-AMC-ARRIA10-FMC and the µTCA system the board will be plugged into. Check all installed boards and modules for steps that you have to take before turning on or off the power.
The NAT-AMC-ARRIA10-FMC supports hot-swapping, which means that the board can be inserted or extracted during normal system operation without affecting other modules. Make sure to follow the procedure exactly to prevent the NAT-AMC-ARRIA10-FMC or the system it is plugged into from damage!

4.2. JTAG The NAT-AMC-ARRIA10-FMC implements an electrical circuit to route different JTAG slaves to a specific JTAG master. Possible JTAG slaves are the Arria10 FPGA and the FMC JTAG port. The setting of SW3-1 determines the JTAG master, which is either the embedded JTAG unit or an external JTAG master (e.g.
EFERENCE ANUAL 4.3. PLL and Clocking The NAT-AMC-ARRIA10-FMC clock distribution network consists of an ADN4604 clock multiplexer and two SiLab5347 PLLs, called ‘System PLL’ and ‘Application PLL’. An overview is given in the following figure. Figure 4 – Clock Distribution...

NAT-AMC-ARRIA10-FMC V2.1 ECHNICAL EFERENCE ANUAL FMC O PERATION This chapter gives important information about FMC installation and setup. 7.1. Supported FMCs All FMCs compliant to VITA 57.1 are supported. VADJ and VIO_B_M2C are limited to 1.8V. 7.2. Installing an FMC Module When applying an FMC module, it could be necessary to remove or to untighten the front metal in order for the FMC front to fit into the cutout.
NAT-AMC-ARRIA10-FMC V2.1 ECHNICAL EFERENCE ANUAL 7.3. FMC EEPROM Wizard Per default the carrier will try to parse the FMC FRU records from the modules EEPROM contents to set the carrier’s power supply and clock direction. In case there is an FMC without records, there are two options: 1.
OOTING 8.1. HPS Boot Sources Available processor boot sources on the NAT-AMC-ARRIA10-FMC are the embedded QSPI flash memory (default) or SD-Card. The boot source can be selected by DIP SW2: Custom / Boot Select Switch. Depending on the peripherals being used by the HPS, it is necessary for the FPGA to be fully or partially configured first.
