The XRM interface provides a high-performance and flexible front-panel interface through a range of interchangeable XRM modules. Further details of the XRM modules can be found on the Alpha Data website. The XRM interface consists of two Samtec connectors, CN1 and CN2.
5.2.5 XRM IO Voltage Override Each XRM is built with an I2C EEPROM that contains vital product information (VPD) such as part number, serial number, operating voltage, and product-specific information. For designing custom XRMs, contact Alpha Data for details on duplicating this VPD data.
ADM-XA210 User Manual V1.0 - Mar 4, 2025 5.3 XMC Platform Interface 5.3.1 IPMI I2C A 2 Kbit I2C EEPROM (type M24C02) is connected to the XMC IPMI. This memory contains board information (type, voltage requirements etc.) as defined in the XMC base specification.
A JTAG boundary scan chain is connected to header U42. This allows the connection of an AMD JTAG cable for FPGA debug using the AMD tools. The ADM-XA210 comes with an adaptor board that attach to this connector, providing access to a standard 14-pin JTAG header that is compatible with the AMD Platform II JTAG box. The adaptor board connects through holes at the rear of the PCBm enabling JTAG accessed while the board is mounted to a carrier.
ADM-XA210 User Manual V1.0 - Mar 4, 2025 5.4.2 XMC JTAG Interface When the JTAG interface on the XMC connector is unused, XMC_TDI connected directly to XMC_TDO to loop back the JTAG chain. The XMC_JTAG interface can be connected to the on-board JTAG interface (through level-translators) by switching SW1-5 ON.
V1.0 - Mar 4, 2025 5.5 Clocks The ADM-XA210 provides a wide variety of clocking options, using some fixed oscillators and a user-programmable clock generator. These clocks can be combined with the FPGA's internal PLLs to suit a wide variety of communication protocols.
