Sundance SMT338-VP - Manual (Page 7)

Version 1.3 Page 7 of 22 SMT338-VP User Manual
Micro-controller
The SMT338VP board is equipped with a micro-controller MSP430
The MSP430 implements board maintenance functions:
• Controls the power start-up sequence
• Controls the reset structure on the module
• Configures
the FPGA
Sundance High Speed Bus
SMT338-VP provides two SHB connectors.
Interfaces connected to SHB connector depends on the daughter connected to SLB
bus.
Please refer to the
SUNDANCE SHB specification for more details.
Comport
The SMT338-VP provides 2 comports: 0 and 3.
ComPort 3 is used to configure and send control words to the FPGA. Comport 0 is
left unused by the default firmware and is available for custom applications.
The
TI comport specification provides more information about comports.
SLB
The SMT338-VP provides a SLB connector.
Interface to SLB is specific to daughter board.
Please refer to
SLB specification for more details.
LED
Six LEDs are available on the board.
LED 1 is on when 5 volts is available on board.
LED 2 is on when 3.3 volts is available on board.
LED 3 and 4 are controlled by FPGA.
LED 5 is connected to MSP430. This led switches on when FPGA is configured.
LED 6 is mapped to the FPGA (pin AG6). It can be used as GPIO.
JTAG
The SMT338-VP includes JTAG connectors to access FPGA and MSP430. Both
devices are in the same JTAG chain.
Connector J13 is a dedicated JTAG connector. See
J13 pinout for more details.
