The ADM-VB630 is a 3U Space VPX reference platform for the AMD Versal AI Edge XQVE2302 Adaptable SoC platform for Space 2.0. Alpha Data offers a Rear Transition Module (RTM) that breaks out all P1 and P2 IO and control lanes (Part number: ADM-VB630-RTM).
Figure 1 : ADM-VB630 2.3 Software Installation Please refer to the Reference Designs on the Alpha Data Download Site. Example projects for configuring the Versal Adaptive SoC device and example software for running on the ARM CPUs can be downloaded from there.
A 3U VPX rack is required for mechanical compatibility. 3.2.2 Power Requirements The ADM-VB630 is powered via the +12V VPX power rail, all the internal power rails are generated from this rail. The ADM-VB630 is capable of drawing up to 6A on the +12V VPX power rail.
If the Adaptive SoC core temperature exceeds 105 degrees Celsius, the Adaptive SoC design will be cleared to prevent the card from over-heating. The power dissipation can be estimated by using the Alpha Data power estimator in conjunction with the AMD Power Estimator (XPE) downloadable at www.xilinx.com/products/technology/power/xpe.html...
ADM-VB630 User Manual V1.0 - 7th Jan 2025 4.1.1 Switch Definitions There are two sets of eight DIP switches placed on the bottom of the board. Their functions are described below. Note: All switches are OFF by default. Factory Configuration switch must be in the OFF position for normal operation.
ADM-VB630 User Manual V1.0 - 7th Jan 2025 4.1.2 LED Definitions There are seven LEDs on the rear of the board which can be used to provide a visual indication of the board status. Their locations are shown in Figure 3...
ADM-VB630 User Manual V1.0 - 7th Jan 2025 There are two LEDs available connected to MIO Bank501 which are intended to be used as system monitor LEDs, See Table 22 Adaptive SoC Comp. Ref. Bank Operation D1 (Red) PL Bank 501...

ADM-VB630 User Manual V1.0 - 7th Jan 2025 4.4.2 Single Ended PL GPIO[55:48] 1 Byte of Single Ended GPIO on P2 is routed to/from Adaptive SoC bank 702 and is compatible with 3.3V single ended signals at the VPX connector.
ADM-VB630 User Manual V1.0 - 7th Jan 2025 4.5 JTAG Interface 4.5.1 On-board Interface A JTAG boundary scan chain is connected to header J2. This allows the connection of the AMD JTAG cable via adapter board AD-JTAG-ADPT2. Adapter board AD-JTAG-ADPT2 should be inserted into header J2 through the rear of the board, header J2 is keyed to ensure correct orientation.
These clocks can be combined with the Adaptive SoC's internal PLLs to suit a wide variety of communication protocols. A complete overview of the clock routing on the ADM-VB630 is given in Clocks. A description of each clock follows.
There is a programable clock source that is forwarded throughout the Adaptive SoC. This clock is programmable through the Alpha Data ADK-VA601 SDK. PROGCLK is generated by a dedicated programmable clock generator IC that offers extremely high frequency resolutions (1ppm increments).
Note: all other possible switch settings are reserved / invalid. 4.8.2 Configuration Daughter Board The ADM-VB630 board has a socket (J1) that allows custom configuration boards to be used. The ADM-SDEV-FL1 configuration daughter board is supplied with the ADM-VB630 board as part of the ADK-VA601 development kit.
ADM-VB630 User Manual V1.0 - 7th Jan 2025 4.8.5 CAN interfaces Two CAN interfaces are routed to Rad hard transceiver chips on the board. Signal Bank Type Standard CAN0_TX LVCMOS33 CAN0_RX LVCMOS33 CAN1_TX LVCMOS33 CAN1_RX LVCMOS33 Table 15 : CAN PL side connections The other sides of the CAN transceivers are routed out to the VPX P2 connector.

ADM-VB630 User Manual V1.0 - 7th Jan 2025 4.10.2 System Monitor Status LEDs If enabled for this function, LEDs D2 (Green) and D1 (Red) indicate the sysmon status. LEDs Status Flashing Green + Flashing Red (alternate) Service Mode Missing application firmware or invalid firmware...
If you followed the previous steps, the Adaptive SoC should have been correctly configured. To verify this, power off the ADM-VB630, set switches SW2-1, SW2-3, SW2-4 ON and SW2-2 OFF. Then power up the ADM-VB630. Both the DONE_L and STAT_0 LEDs should illuminate after a few seconds(see Definitions) 4.11.2 Configuration From uSD Flash Memory...
Copy the .pdi to FAT32 SD card and rename it to BOOT.bin The uSD card is now ready to be booted from. It can be inserted in the ADM-VB630 with the appropriate boot switch setting. The example design will be programmed into the Adaptive SoC automatically at boot.
