GR-UT699 Development Board User Manual necessary to ensure that this pin is driven by the host slot. This can be achieved by installing jumper JP18 on the board, so that the board system reset signal RESETN provides the drive for the PCIRSTN signal. If the jumper is not installed, a weak (22k) pull up will pull the PCIRSTN signal high.
GR-UT699 Development Board User Manual 2.12 Other Interfaces and Circuits 2.12.1 GPIO The 16 general Purpose Input Output signals of the ASIC (3.3V LVTTL voltage levels) are connected to a set of 0.1” pitch pin header connector on the front panel thus allowing easy access to these signals.
