Appendix C: Hardware Changes from Revision B

This appendix lists the changes between hardware revision B and hardware revision C.
The following is a summary of changes:

PCB requires only 5V over PCI-104; it previously required 3.3V and 5V

A dedicated local bus oscillator was added to generate 50Mhz. A clock is no longer forwarded
from FPGA to the PLX PCI 9056.

The DDR2 FPGA pinout has been changed to increase timing margins

The pinout of connector P4 (high-speed serial) has changed. The sideband signals have been
relocated and 3.3V has been added.

The orientation of connector P5 (RS-485 port 0) has rotated 180 degrees

The Location of P8 (external power connector) has changed. The 3.3V enable signal has also
been removed
