Resources

There are four types of I/Os.
  • unidirectional single-ended I/O clocked at 125 MHz (1 gpio line connected to FGPA)
  • bidirectional single-ended I/O clocked at 125 MHz (2 gpio lines connect to FPGA)
  • unidirectional differential I/O clocked at 1 GHz (1 lvds pair connected to FPGA)
  • bidirectional differential I/O clocked at 1 GHz (2 lvds pairs connected to FPGA)

The general rules for connecting the I/Os to the resources (ECA, TLU) are determined by the "monster" design. The following rules apply:
  • TLU (Timestamp Latch Unit)
    • each input is connected to a dedicated TLU fifo
    • bidirectional inputs are connected first
  • ECA ( Event-Condtion-Action unit)
    • all outputs are connected to the ECA
    • channel 0: receiving component are 125 MHz outputs (gpio)
    • channel 1: receiving component is action queue and MSI. MSI serves to signal events (IRQ) while the event data are stored in the queue until they are retrieved, typically via the host system.
    • channel 2: receiving component are 1 GHz outputs (lvds), bidirectional outputs are connected first.
Please note:
  • All bidirectional IOs have a output and input connected to the FPGA. The direction is determined via a control line by the FPGA. Hence, each bidirectional IO is connected to the ECA (outgoing) and the TLU (incoming).
  • In many cases a differential IO at the front panel is connected to the FPGA using a single ended line and vice versa.
  • Changing the direction of bidirectional IO on-the-fly is not supported by the release Asterisk.
