I/Os

I/O signals provided on the Rasperry Pi compatible header are connected to bank 2 of the Microsemi SoC.

...

Further I/Os are provided via the PMOD connectors descriebed below.

PMODs

The module provides four 2x6 female PMOD connectors. Two of the headers (P2 and P3) are arranged to use as dual 12 pin PMOD. According to the standard on all four headers Pin 5 and 11 are connected to ground, 6 and 12 to 3.3V.

JTAG Interface

JTAG access to the SoC components is provided through the micro usb connector via the FTDI usb to UART bridge. Depending on the jumper J6 the JTAGSEL signal SW3 switches the JTAG interface to either the FPGA fabric TAP (OPEN, high) or the Cortex-M3 JTAG debug interface (CLOSED, low). JTAG signals are powered by 3.3V.

I2C Interface

There are no on-board I²C devices.  For Raspberry Pi compability the device detection I²C bus is routed from the header J8-27/28 to Bank 1 U2-A20/A19 (SDA/SCL).

DDR Memory

TEM0002 has 1Gb industrial grade DDR3 SDRAM (U5). A 16-bit wide memory bus providing total of 128 MBytes of on-board RAM. Specification is 800 MHz clocking resulting in 1600 Mb/s data rate and timings  of 11-11-11 (CL-T_RCD-T_RP).

Gigabit Ethernet PHY

On-board Gigabit Ethernet PHY (J2) is provided by  Microsemi VSC8531 chip (U1). The Ethernet PHY RGMII interface is connected to bank 6 of the Microsemi SOC. I/O voltage is fixed at 1.5V. The reference clock input of the PHY is supplied from an external 25.000000 MHz oscillator (U11).

Oscillators

The module has following reference clock signals provided by on-board oscillators:

...

¹In REV02, Y1 will be replaced by a 12 MHz crystal.

On-board LEDs

Table 10: On-board LEDs.

Power and Power-On Sequence

There is no specific power on Sequence. Just supply with 5V via the micro USB J1 or the J5 PWR_IN with current rating sufficient for your Design.

If power sequencing and distribution is not so much, you can join both sub sections together

Power Consumption

The maximum power consumption of a module mainly depends on the design running on the FPGA.

...

For the lowest power consumption and highest efficiency of the on-board DC-DC regulators it is recommended to power the module from one single 3.3V supply. All input power supplies have a nominal value of 3.3V. Although the input power supplies can be powered up in any order, it is recommended to power them up simultaneously.
