6.10. GPIO
The GPIO pins are arranged on the board as shown in Table 6-1. The CPLD is responsible
for the interfaces between the NPs and the LMP. Some of such interfaces depend on the
GPIO connections to the CPLD, which may be used as I/O mapping on to the CPLD registers
so that the LMP or the NPs can perform read/write operations to the other end. Interrupt
forwarding from the NPs to the LMP is an example on using GPIO-to-CPLD connections.

6.11. Clock
The CN6800 has a single reference-clock signal (PLL_REF_CLK, 50MHz) that feeds into
three PLLs: Core PLL, Coprocessor PLL, and DDR PLL) that provide the clock signals for the
rest of the chip.
Also, the clocks fed externally on the blade include: QLM reference (PCIe Gen2), QLM
reference (ILK), QLM reference (XAUI), QLM reference (RXAUI/DXAUI) and RGMII reference
clocks. Their requirements are copied to Figure 6-12 from the datasheet, respectively. The
on-board clock tree is described in Section 11 .
