Getting started[edit | edit source]

Kit Identification Codes[edit | edit source]

The development kits (DESK, XELK, XUELK, BELK, etc.) are identified by a couple of codes:

  1. P/N Part Number identification code
  2. S/N Serial Number identification code

These codes are printed on a label sticked to the box containing the kit.

For example, the following picture shows such a label of an AXEL Ultra XELK (XELK-H-S) with Serial Number 0CFA

Label of AXEL Ultra XELK (XELK-H-S)

These codes are required to complete the registration process of the kit.



Unboxing[edit | edit source]

Once you've received the kit, please open the box and check the kit contents with the packing list included in the box, using the table on this chapter as a reference.

The hardware components (SOM, carrier boards and display) are pre-assembled, as shown in the picture below:

Order codes[edit | edit source]

Order code Description
BTELK-L-S This code refers to the default configuration detailed above


microSD Layout[edit | edit source]

The microSD provided with the kit is used to store:

  • a bootable partition (mmcblk0p1, vfat) containing:
    • binary images (u-boot and kernel images)
  • root file system partition (mmcblk0p2, ext4)

Target setup and first boot[edit | edit source]

This section describes how to quickly start Bora/BoraEVB and BoraX/BoraXEVB systems included in the BELK/BXELK:

  • on target side, connect a null-modem cable on J17 DB9 connector, denoted also as UART1
  • on host side, connect the other end of the null-modem cable to a COM port and start your favorite terminal software that will be used to interact with the target's serial console; communication parameters are 115200-8-N-1
  • optionally connect the BoraEVB/BoraXEVB board to an Ethernet LAN by plugging cable into connector J8, also denoted as ETH0 on BoraEVB and BORAX ETHERNET on BoraXEVB
  • connect 12V power supply to JP2 or J7 connector, also denoted as PSU 12V
  • insert the microSD card in the slot J21, also denoted as MICROSD.

Once power has been applied to the target, FSBL or U-boot SPL and U-Boot bootloaders will be fetched from the SPI NOR flash that equips Bora/BoraX/BORA Lite SOM and executed. Boot messages will be printed out to the serial console. Redundant U-Boot environment is stored in the NOR flash as well, as depicted in the following image.


NOR flash default partitioning (BELK 3.0.2 or older and BXELK 1.0.1 or older)
NOR flash default partitioning (BELK 4.0.0 or newer and BXELK 2.0.0 or newer)


By default, U-Boot is configured to retrieve Linux kernel image stored in the microSD card [1]. In turn, Linux kernel shall mount root file system from the mmcblk0p2 partition of the microSD card itself [2], [3]. At the end of boot process, Linux shell shall be available on the serial console. Default boot process does not download any bitstream to the Programmable Logic.

The following dump shows the typical messages printed out to the console during bootstrap process. This log refers to Belk-4.0.0 running on BORA SOM. For BORAX SOM similar messages are printed out to the console.

microSD layout[edit | edit source]

The microSD card provided with BELK/BXELK is partitioned as shown in the following image:


microSD card partitioning


Most of storage space is occupied by two partitions:

  • a FAT32 partition (mmcblk0p1) containing:
    • For BELK <= 3.0.2 and BXELK <= 1.0.1 :
      • boot.bin boot image (containing FSBL, FPGA Bitstream an U-boot binaries)
      • U-Boot boot.scr bootscript
      • Linux kernel and DTB binary images
    • For BELK 4.0.0 or newer and BXELK 2.0.0 or newer:
      • boot.bin u-boot SPL image
      • fpga.bit optional FPGA bitstream
      • u-boot.img u-boot image
      • U-Boot boot.scr bootscript
      • Linux kernel and DTB binary images
      • MVM image in OVA format
  • an ext3 partition (mmcblk0p2) containing the root file system for the target.

bootscript and root file system are used to boot the target as described in this section.

It is worth remembering that the microSD card is bootable and U-Boot environment is retrieved from (and stored to with saveenv) into the FAT partition as bora.env

Voltage selections[edit | edit source]

PL's I/O banks voltage can be selected via configuration jumpers. It is worth remembering that:

  • each bank must be powered even if none of its I/Os is used
  • voltage selection must be done before powering up the board.

The following table recaps the characteristics of the PL's I/O banks, in terms of allowable power supplies.

BoraXEVB voltage selection jumpers[edit | edit source]

BoraXEVB provides several configuration jumpers that allow to easily select the voltages used for PL's I/O banks. The following tables lists some of the allowed combinations used to select the most common voltage values. There are other combination available. However, some of them are not allowed and may cause permanent hardware damages to the Zynq part.

Since characteristics of PL's I/O banks differ between Zynq 7015 and 7030 parts, the valid combinations are not the same for all of the BoraX models. Please refer to the following sections for more details.

Even if PL's banks are independent, default configuration of BoraXEVB is such that

  • bank 34 and bank 35 have the same supply voltage
  • this voltage is selected via JP28.

This configuration is in accordance with default routing of signals used for FMC connector.

SoM's signals mapping[edit | edit source]

Bora Lite[edit | edit source]

As known, Bora Lite requires an adapter to be mounted on the BoraXEVB carrier board. The adapter swap some signals to allow to use some carrier board peripherals routed on unavailable pins of the SoM. For this reason, it can be tricky to find out where the SoM's signals are routed at the carrier board level. The following table details such routing for PL banks. Here it is assumed to use an adapter with default mounting options.

JTAG[edit | edit source]

JTAG[edit | edit source]

JTAG port is available as two different mechanical connectors:

  • 2.00mm-pitch 7x2 header (Xilinx standard)
  • 2.54mm-pitch 10x2 header (ARM standard): http://www2.lauterbach.com/pdf/arm_app_jtag.pdf
  • This port is connected to Zynq's native JTAG signals. Please note that Zynq's internal JTAG chain supports differents configurations, depending on bootstrap signals. In case split mode is selected, CPU JTAG can be routed separately via PL. For more details please refer to Zynq Technical Reference Manual.
  • JTAG on BORA Xpress EVB is also connected to the FMC connector. For more details on how to connect JTAG on a custom FMC card please refer to ANSI/VITA FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) Standard.

BORA Lite Adapter[edit | edit source]

BORA Lite requires a dedicated adapter to be plugged to the BoraXEVB carrier board. This adapter:

  • provides the SODIMM socket for the BORA Lite SOM
  • provides the following additional features:
    • microSD slot (for SD boot)
    • JTAG connector
    • CAN traslator for testing the CAN bus on BoraXEVB
  • routes the signals from the BORA Lite pins to the BoraXEVB mating connectors

The following images show the top and bottom views of the BoraLite Adapter:

Connectors' pinout[edit | edit source]

J1 - SODIMM connector[edit | edit source]

J1 is a TE Connectivity 204-pin SODIMM socket. The pinout matches the Axel Lite pinout.

J4, J5, J6 - BoraXEVB mating connectors[edit | edit source]

J4, J5 and J6 are Hirose FX8C-140S-SV connectors that match the BoraXEVB SOM connectors' pinout.

J2 - JTAG[edit | edit source]

J2 is a SAMTEC FSI-110-03-G-S connector. The following table reports the connector's pinout:

5 JTAG_TDI - -

7 FPGA_PROGRAM_B - -
8 FPGA_DONE - -

10 3V3 - -

Routing options[edit | edit source]

This table helps to map Bora Lite's signals when it is mated with the BoraXEVB carrier board. That table assumes that the adapter is populated according to the default mounting option, which is illustrated in the schematics available here.

At the adapter level, other mounting options are available, however. Please refer to the schematics for more details.

CAN bus[edit | edit source]

Pins IO_L6P_T0_34 and IO_L19P_T3_34 can be used as CAN_TX and CAN_RX for the CAN0 interface. The BoraLite adapter provide the SN65HVD232 CAN bus transceiver required for proper CAN bus bus interface.

The CAN_L and CAN_H translated signals are routed to the J5.103 and J5.105 connector pins on BoraXEVB.
