Processor and memory subsystem[edit | edit source]

The heart of Bora module is composed of the following components:

  • Xilinx Zynq Z-7010 (XC7Z010) / Z-7020 (XC7Z020) SoC
  • Power supply unit
  • DDR memory banks
  • NOR and NAND flash banks
  • 3x 140 pin connectors with interfaces signals

This chapter shortly describes the main Bora components.

Processor Info[edit | edit source]

The Zynq™-7000 family is based on the Xilinx Extensible Processing Platform (EPP) architecture. These products integrate a feature-rich dual-core ARM® Cortex™-A9 based processing system (PS) and 28 nm Xilinx programmable logic (PL) in a single device. The ARM Cortex-A9 CPUs are the heart of the PS and also include on-chip memory, external memory interfaces, and a rich set of peripheral connectivity interfaces. The Zynq-7000 family offers the flexibility and scalability of an FPGA, while providing performance, power, and ease of use typically associated with ASIC and ASSPs. The range of devices in the Zynq-7000 AP SoC family enables designers to target cost-sensitive as well as high-performance applications from a single platform using industry-standard tools. While each device in the Zynq-7000 family contains the same PS, the PL and I/O resources vary between the devices. As a result, the Zynq-7000 AP SoC devices are able to serve a wide range of applications including:

  • Automotive driver assistance, driver information, and infotainment
  • Broadcast camera
  • Industrial motor control, industrial networking, and machine vision
  • IP and Smart camera
  • LTE radio and baseband
  • Medical diagnostics and imaging
  • Multifunction printers
  • Video and night vision equipment

The processors in the PS always boot first, allowing a software centric approach for PL system boot and PL configuration. The PL can be configured as part of the boot process or configured at some point in the future. Additionally, the PL can be completely reconfigured or used with partial, dynamic reconfiguration (PR). PR allows configuration of a portion of the PL. This enables optional design changes such as updating coefficients or time-multiplexing of the PL resources by swapping in new algorithms as needed.

Bora can mount two versions of the Zynq processor. The following table shows a comparison between the processor models, highlighting the differences:

Processor Programmable logic cells LUTs Flip flops Extensible block RAM DSP slices Peak DSP performance
XC7Z010 28K Logic Cells 17600 35200 240 KB 80 58 GMACs
XC7Z020 85K Logic Cells 53200 106400 560 KB 220 158 GMACs
Table: XC7-Z0x0 comparison

On PS side, the following peripherals and devices are connected to MIO signals:

  • Serial NOR fl ash (MIO [6:1])
  • NAND fl ash (MIO [0], [14:2])
  • UART1 (MIO [49:48])
  • I2C temperature sensor (MIO [47:46])
  • I2C MEMS RTC (MIO [47:46])
  • Gigabit Ethernet PHY (MIO [27:16])
  • USBOTG PHY (MIO [39:28])
  • SD/MMC (MIO [45:40])

Since these devices are considered essential, they have been connected to MIO signals in order to make them always functional, even if PL is not programmed. These peripherals represent the default configuration for the BORA SOM, but other configurations can be implemented changing the pin multiplexing

RAM memory bank[edit | edit source]

DDR3 SDRAM memory bank is composed by 2x 16-bit width chips resulting in a 32-bit combined width bank. The following table reports the SDRAM specifications:

CPU connection SDRAM bus
Size min 512 MB
Size max 1 GB
Width 32 bit
Speed 533 MHz

NOR flash bank[edit | edit source]

NOR flash is a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) device. By default this device is connected to SPI channel 0 and acts as boot memory. The following table reports the NOR flash specifications:

CPU connection SPI Channel 0
Size min 8 MB
Size max 16 MB - This limitation is due to this Errata from Xilinx. The proposed solution by Xilinx has not been approved by DAVE Embedded Systems
Chip select SPI_CS0n
Bootable Yes

NAND flash bank[edit | edit source]

On board main storage memory is a 8-bit wide NAND flash. By default it is connected to chip select. The following table reports the NAND flash specifications:

CPU connection Static memory controller
Page size 512 byte, 2 kbyte or 4 kbyte
Size min 128 MB
Size max 1 GB
Width 8 bit
Chip select NAND_CS0
Bootable Yes

Integrated FPGA[edit | edit source]

The PL is derived from Xilinx’s 7 Series FPGA technology (Artix™-7 for the 7z010/7z020). The PL is used to extend the functionality to meet specific application requirements. The PL provides many different types of resources including configurable logic blocks (CLBs), port and width configurable block RAM (BRAM), DSP slices with 25 x 18 multiplier, 48-bit accumulator and pre-adder (DSP48E1), a user configurable analog to digital converter (XADC), clock management tiles (CMT), a configuration block with 256b AES for decryption and SHA for authentication, configurable I/Os (with differential signaling capabilities). BORA customers are able to differentiate their product in hardware by customizing their applications using PL.

PL subsystem provides a lot of configurable I/Os, grouped in banks denoted as Bank x (eg Bank 9, Bank 13 etc.). Two types of such banks exist: HR 1 and HP 2. Some of the MIO signals can be routed outside the component via PL subsystem. This technique is called EMIO routing.

Power supply unit[edit | edit source]

Bora, as the other Ultra Line CPU modules, embeds all the elements required for powering the unit, therefore power sequencing is self-contained and simplified. Nevertheless, power must be provided from carrier board, and therefore users should be aware of the ranges power supply can assume as well as all other parameters. For detailed information, please refer to Power Supply Unit page.

CPU module connectors[edit | edit source]

All interface signals Bora provides are routed through three 140 pin 0.6mm pitch stacking connectors (named J1, J2 and J3). The dedicated carrier board must mount the mating connectors and connect the desired peripheral interfaces according to Bora pinout specifications.



Hardware versioning and tracking[edit | edit source]

BORA SOM implements well established versioning and tracking mechanisms:

  • PCB version is copper printed on PCB itself, as shown in Fig. 1
  • serial number: it is printed on a white label, as shown in Fig. 2: see also Product serial number page for more details
  • ConfigID: it is used by software running on the board for the identification of the product model/hardware configuration. For more details, please refer to this link
    • On BORA SOM ConfigID is stored in these areas of NOR SPI OTP

Power and reset[edit | edit source]

Power Supply Unit (PSU) and recommended power-up sequence[edit | edit source]

Implementing correct power-up sequence for Zynq-based system is not a trivial task because several power rails are involved. Bora/BORA Lite SOM simplifies this task and embeds all the needed circuitry. The following picture shows a simplified block diagram of power supply subsystem.

Bora Simplified block diagram of recommended power scheme
BORA Lite Simplified block diagram of recommended power scheme

The recommended power-up sequence is:

  1. main power supply rail (3.3VIN) ramps up
  2. carrier board circuitry raises CB_PWR_GOOD; this indicates 3.3VIN rail is stable (1)
  3. Bora's PSU enables and sequences DC/DC regulators to turn circuitry on
  4. BOARD_PGOOD signal is raised; this active-high signal indicates that SoM's I/O is powered. This signal can be used to manage carrier board power up sequence in order to prevent back powering (from SoM to carrier board or vice versa).

Please note that FPGA Bank 13 and FPGA Bank 35 of the PL must be powered by carrier board even if they are not used to implement any function. Two dedicated power rails are available for this purpose (VDDIO_BANK35 and VDDIO_BANK13), offering the system designer the freedom to select the I/O voltage of these two banks. The power rails of both banks are enabled by the BOARD_PGOOD signal and are connected to the I/O power supply rail provided by the carrier board. Bank 13 and bank 35 are High Range (HR), hence the 1.2V - 3.3V voltage range is supported. For more details please refer to [1]. The state of FPGA I/Os prior to configuration is influenced by PUD_C signal as well. For this reason reading of [2] and [3] is also recommended.

Bora's PSU is designed to be robust against misbehaving power rails. However, the recommended power-on ramp for core and I/O supplies ranges from 1 to 6 V/ms.

N.B.: Regarding power off, it is recommended that I/O supply is turned off before core supply.

(1) For BORA SOM this step is not mandatory and CB_PWR_GOOD can be left floating. CB_PWR_GOOD is provided to prevent, if necessary, BORA's PSU to turn on during ramp of carrier board 3.3VIN rail. Depending on carrier board's PSU design, this may lead to undesired glitches during ramp-up.

For BORA Lite SOM, the CB_PWR_GOOD has to be connected to 3.3VIN for always-on operation

XCN15034 and power-off sequence[edit | edit source]

On 29th September 2015 Xilinx released a Product Change Notice indicating new power on/off requirements about Zynq components. A specific analysis has been undertaken with the help of Xilinx technical support to verify the compliance of Bora with respect to the new requirements. This activity has led to the following recommendation: in order to prevent situations that might not fulfill such requirements, 3.3VIN off ramp speed must not exceed 50 V/s.

For more details about this matter, please refer to AR #65240[4] and XCN15034[5].


Reset scheme and voltage monitoring[edit | edit source]

The following picture shows the simplified block diagram of reset scheme and voltage monitoring.

Bora-reset-scheme-2.png

Reset signals[edit | edit source]

The available reset signals are described in detail in the following sections.

MRST[edit | edit source]

MRSTn is a de-bounced input for manual reset (for example to connect a push-button). This signal connected to the voltage monitor and is pulled-up to 3.3VIN through a 2.2kOhm resistor.

PORSTn[edit | edit source]

This is a bidirectonal open-drain signal that is connected to Zynq's PS_POR_B and can be asserted by the following devices:

  • a multi-rail voltage monitor that monitors 3.3VIN power rails and all of the rails generated by Bora's PSU. This monitor
    • in case of a power glitch, asserts MEM_WPn signal in order to prevent any spurious write operation on flash memories too. MEM_WPn is 3.3V, push-pull, active low.
    • has a timeout (set through an on-board capacitor) of about 200 ms.
    • provides MRSTn debounced input for manual reset (for example to connect a push-button). This signal is pulled-up to 3.3VIN through a 2.2kOhm resistor.
  • a watchdog timer (Maxim MAX6373). For more details please refer to Watchdog section.

PORSTn is pulled-up to 3.3VIN through a 2.2kOhm resistor.

SYS_RSTn[edit | edit source]

This signal is connected to Zynq's PS_SRST_B and is pulled-up to 1.8V through a 20kOhm resistor.

PS_MIO50_501 (USB PHY reset)[edit | edit source]

By default, this signal is connected to the on-board USB PHY reset input as depicted in the above figure. This scheme allows complete software control of the PHY hardware reset regardless of the PL status.

For example, this is how the reset signal is handled in BELK 4.1.5:

  • U-Boot board_init routine generates a hardware reset pulse. This initializes the component to its default register values.
  • Linux kernel does not issue any further hardware reset. If a hardware reset is required upon Linux boot up, the phy-ulpi kernel driver and/or the according device tree properties have to be modified for enabling this feature.

PS_MIO51_501 (Ethernet PHY reset)[edit | edit source]

By default, this signal is connected to the on-board Ethernet PHY reset input as depicted in the above figure. This scheme allows complete software control of the PHY hardware reset regardless of the PL status.

For example, this is how the reset signal is handled in BELK 4.1.5:

  • U-Boot board_init routine generates a hardware reset pulse. This initializes the component to its default register values, which are partly determined by the PHY's strapping pins.
  • Upon boot up, the Linux kernel issues a software reset via the BCMR register. If a hardware reset is required instead, the macb kernel driver and/or the related device tree properties have to be modified for enabling this feature.

Clock scheme[edit | edit source]

Bora is equipped with three independent active oscillators:

  • processor (33.3 MHz)
  • ethernet PHY (25 MHz)
  • USB PHY (26 MHz)

Generally speaking, no clocks have to be provided by the carrier board.



System boot[edit | edit source]

The boot process begins at Power On Reset (POR) where the hardware reset logic forces the ARM core to begin execution starting from the on-chip boot ROM. The boot process is multi-stage and minimally includes the Boot ROM and the first-stage boot loader (FSBL). The Zynq-7000 AP SoC includes a factory-programmed Boot ROM that is not useraccessible. The boot ROM:

  • determines whether the boot is secure or non-secure
  • performs some initialization of the system and cleanups
  • reads the mode pins to determine the primary boot device
  • once it is satisfied, it executes the FSBL

After a system reset, the system automatically sequences to initialize the system and process the first stage boot loader from the selected external boot device. The process enables the user to configure the AP SoC platform as needed, including the PS and the PL. Optionally, the JTAG interface can be enabled to give the design engineer access to the PS and the PL for test and debug purposes.

Boot options[edit | edit source]

The boot ROM supports configuration from four different slave interfaces:

Boot mode is selectable via five mode pins (BOOT_MODE[4:0]), and two voltage mode signals, (VMODE[1:0]). The BOOT_MODE pins are MIO[6:2] and the VMODE pins are MIO[8:7]. The pins are used as follows:

Function Boot signals Available options
JTAG mode BOOT_MODE[3]
MIO[2]
0: Cascaded JTAG
1: Independent JTAG
Boot mode BOOT_MODE[0-2-1]
MIO[5:3]
000: JTAG
010: NAND
100: Quad-SPI
110: SD card
PLLs enable BOOT_MODE[4]
MIO[6]
0: PLL used
1: PLL bypassed
MIO Bank 0 Voltage VMODE[0]
MIO[7]
0: 2.5 V, 3.3 V
1: 1.8 V
MIO Bank 0 Voltage VMODE[1]
MIO[8]
0: 2.5 V, 3.3 V
1: 1.8 V

In order to fully understand how boot works on BORA platform, please refer to chapter 6 ("Boot and configuration") of the Zynq7000 Technical Reference Manual.

Default boot configuration[edit | edit source]

Default configuration for BORA module is:

  • Mode[0..3] = 1000: Quad-SPI mode
  • Mode[4] = 0: PLL not bypassed
  • VCFG[0] = 0: 2.5V, 3.3V operations for bank 0
  • VCFG[1] = 1: 1.8 operations for bank 1

Assuming that:

  • default configuration is not changed,
  • there's a valid boot code programmed in SPI flash memory the actual boot sequence performed by ARM core will be:
  1. Bootrom is executed from internal ROM code memory
  2. FSBL is copied from on-board NOR flash memory connected to SPI0 port to on-chip SRAM by bootrom
  3. FSBL is executed from on-chip SRAM
  4. U-Boot bootloader (2nd stage) is copied by FSBL from NOR flash memory connected to Quad-SPI port to SDRAM
  5. U-boot (2nd stage) is executed from SDRAM

If no boot code is available in SPI NOR flash, the bootrom tries JTAG peripheral booting.

Boot sequence customization[edit | edit source]

BOOT_MODE[4:0] are routed to the J1 connector, enabling for the customization of the boot sequence through a simple resistor network that can be implemented on carrier board hosting BORA module.

Mode signal J1 pin Pin name
BOOT_MODE[4] J1.129 SPI0_SCLK/MODE4/NAND_IO1
BOOT_MODE[3] J1.125 SPI0_DQ0/MODE3/NAND_ALE
BOOT_MODE[2] J1.121 SPI0_DQ2/MODE2/NAND_IO2
BOOT_MODE[1] J1.123 SPI0_DQ1/MODE1/NAND_WE
BOOT_MODE[0] J1.119 SPI0_DQ3/MODE0/NAND_IO0

On board JTAG connector[edit | edit source]

The Zynq-7000 family of AP SoC devices provides debug access via a standard JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) debug interface. This JTAG port grants access to the device chain composed of both the CPU core and the FPGA part.

JTAG signals are connected to the pinout connector (J2) on BORA.

Peripherals[edit | edit source]

Programmable logic[edit | edit source]

The following paragraphs describe in detail the available PL I/O pins and how they are routed to the Bora connectors. The Zynq-7000 AP SoC is split into I/O banks to allow for flexibility in the choice of I/O standards, thus each table reports one bank configuration. Moreover, Bora design allows carrier board to power two PL banks in order to achieve complete flexibility in terms of I/O voltage levels too. For more details about PCB design considerations, please refer to the Advanced routing and carrier board design guidelines article.

The following table reports the I/O banks characteristics:

EEPROM[edit | edit source]

An on-board Microchip 24AA32AT device provides an added storage device for factory settings:

  • the first 32 bytes of the device are RESERVED: this region stores the bytes for the ConfigID on BORA SOMs configured for booting from NAND device (without NOR SPI on board)
  • the device is write protected using the EEPROM_WP

The device has some configuration pins:

  • three address pins for configuring the I2C adddress A0, A1, A2 internally configured as A[0..2]='000'
  • the EEPROM_WP is connected to J2.78 pin and should not be externally connected

Real Time Clock[edit | edit source]

An on-board Maxim Integrated DS3232 device provides a very accurate, temperature-compensated real-time clock (RTC) resource with:

  • Temperature-compensated crystal oscillator
  • Date, time and calendar
  • Alarm capability
  • Backup power from external battery
  • ±3.5ppm accuracy from -40°C to +85°C
  • 236 Bytes of Battery-Backed SRAM
  • I²C Interface

Backup power is provided through the RTC_VBAT signal:

  • on Bora it is connected to J2.113
  • on Bora Lite it is connected to J1.22

If not used, RTC_VBAT must be externally connected to GND. For a detailed description of RTC characteristics, please refer to the DS3232 datasheet.


Watchdog[edit | edit source]

An external watchdog timer (WDT), Maxim MAX6373[6]), is connected to the PORSTn signal. During normal operation, the microprocessor should repeatedly toggle the watchdog input WDI before the selected watchdog timeout period elapses to demonstrate that the system is processing code properly. If the μP does not provide a valid watchdog input transition before the timeout period expires, the supervisor asserts a watchdog (WDO) output to signal that the system is not executing the desired instructions within the expected time frame. The watchdog output pulse is used to reset the μP.

Default configuration[edit | edit source]

Default mounting option is depicted in the following figure.

Watchdog timer default mounting option

WDI is connected to Zynq's PS_MIO15_500 I/O. This signal is available on Bora connectors as PS_MIO15_500 (J1.133).

MAX6373 timeout is pin-selectable. It can be configured through the WD_SET0 (J2.100), WD_SET1 (J2.98) and WD_SET2 (J2.96) signals. By default, they are configured as follows:

  • WD_SET2 = 1
  • WD_SET1 = 1
  • WD_SET0 = 0

This set selects the option (the exhaustive list of configurations options is descripted in table 1 of reference [6]):

  • tDELAY = first edge
  • tWD = 10s.

In other words, WDT is started when the first transition on WDI input is detected. Once started, its timeout period is 10s. The first transition of WDI input should be under software control. However, despite of the presence of 22kOhm pull-down, during power-on sequence a spurious 0-to-1 transition may be observed on WDI input. The voltage swing of this transition is variable, since it depends on the internal Zynq's pull-up value of PS_MIO15_500 pad. In general, WDT may be inadvertently started at power-up, before software takes control of PS_MIO15_500 GPIO. To avoid this situation, it is recommended to add a 2.2kOhm pull-down on carrier board, connected to the PS_MIO15_500 signal.

In any case, when the watchdog is started, the software (bootloader/operating system) must take care of toggling the watchdog trigger pin (WDI) before the timeout expiration.

Selecting different configurations[edit | edit source]

Since WD_SETx signals are routed externally, WDT configuration can be changed by optional circuitry implemented on the carrier board. Different solutions can be implemented on the carrier board, depending on system requirements. The easiest circuit consists of additional stronger pull-up/down resistors connected to WD_SETx pins in order to overrule default configuration. As MAX6373 allows to change the configuration during operation, more complex solutions can be implemented as well.

Please note that on the BORAEVB carrier board, by default WDT is disabled via S1, S2 and S3 dip switches (WD_SET2=0, WD_SET1=1, WD_SET0=1).

It is also worth mentioning that Zynq integrates a System Watchdog Timer (SWDT) that can optionally generates a reset pulse on PS_MIO15_500 pad if this is configured as SWDT reset. In case such a configuration is of interest, on request MAX6373 may not be populated. For more details about this option, please contact Sales Department.


Thermal IC[edit | edit source]

An on-board thermal IC (Texas Instruments TMP421) connected to the I²C0 interface can work as a local temperature sensor, providing the measurement of its internal temperature, but also as a remote temperature sensor, since it is connected to the XADC_DXP/XADC_DXN of the Zynq processor, providing the measurement of the Zynq internal temperature.

For a detailed description of the thermal IC characteristics, please refer to the TMP421 datasheet.

Power consumption[edit | edit source]

Providing theoretical maximum power consumption value would be useless for the majority of system designers building their application upon BORA module because, in most cases, this would lead to an over-sized power supply unit. Several configurations have been tested in order to provide figures that are measured on real-world use cases instead. Please note that BORA platform is so flexible that it is virtually impossible to test for all possible configurations and applications on the market. The use cases here presented should cover most of real-world scenarios. However actual customer application might require more power than values reported here. Generally speaking, application specific requirements have to be taken into consideration in order to size power supply unit and to implement thermal management properly.

Thermal management[edit | edit source]

Bora product is designed to support the maximum available temperature range declared by the manufacturer. The customer shall define and conduct a reasonable number of tests and verification in order to qualify the DUT capabilities to manage the heat dissipation.

For example, in the previous test cases:

  • Testbed 1 : when Tamb has been set to +85°C, the Bora SOM has been coupled to a passive heat sink to prevent exceeding maximum Zynq's junction temperature
  • Testbed 2 : when Tamb has been set to +75°C, the Bora SOM has been coupled to a fan-cooled heat sink to prevent exceeding maximum Zynq's junction temperature

Any heatsink, fan etc shall be defined case by case depending on the various use conditions like: air cooling (forced or not), enclosure dimensions, mechanical/thermal coupling with heatsink. A proper thermal analysis must be investigated on the real use scenario which depends on FPGA design, frequency configurations, working signals, etc.
