ATCA-9405 Installation and Use (6806800M71G)

74

DIMMs with x4 memory devices are not supported by the memory controller.

Default main memory size is 2 GB using one Smart Modular SG572568EMR069P2SG DIMM
module. The three preferred DIMM modules for P2020 are listed in the table below, providing
up to 8 GB of DDR3 main memory.

4.4.4

Persistent Memory

The P2020 offers both hardware and software options to support persistent main memory.
The persistent memory is an array of random access memory that preserves its contents
during a warm/soft reset. Persistent memory is a necessary prerequisite for performing post
mortem analysis of log data after reset and reboot of the payload CPU.

For persistent memory support on ATCA-9405, a dedicated register is implemented in the Glue
Logic FPGA to enable or disable persistent memory by software. If persistent memory is
enabled, the contents of the main memory stay unchanged after any applied reset, except
power-up reset.

After reset is released and the board is booted, the application must check the persistent
memory bit in FPGA and (if set) initialize the main memory but keep persistent memory area
untouched.
