Expansion connector
An expansion connector labeled J1 is included
on the edge of the Ceres board to allow
designs to be expanded beyond the board. No
connector is loaded during manufacturing to
allow greater flexibility (so that wire-wrap pins
can be loaded, or a male or female connector).
All available CPLD signals are routed to the
connector, including signals that drive on-
board devices. Where feasible, on-board
devices are decoupled from the CPLD with
series resistors so that all pins may be used as
inputs or outputs by the expansion connector.
VCC and GND are also routed to the
connector so that attached devices can draw
power from the Ceres board. Table 1 shows
the signals routed to the expansion connector.
40 Pin DIP Socket
The Ceres Board is designed to accept any
one of several C-Mod boards. C-Mods can
easily be inserted into or removed from the 40
pin DIP socket. To add or change a C-Mod
board, power off the Ceres (disconnect the
power supply), remove an existing C-Mod
board if needed, and press the new C-Mod into
the DIP socket, ensuring that Pin 1 on the C-
Mod is aligned with Pin 1 on the socket. Table
2 shows the signals routed to the 40-pin DIP
socket.
