Module Slot and Function Addresses

The memory map for the modules are dependent on the types of modules on the board and the order in which the modules are installed on the board as well as the firmware installed on the motherboard. The function modules are enumerated allowing for dynamic memory space allocation and therefore the “start” address of the module function register area is factory pre-defined (and read from) the Module Address register. Refer to Figure 1 for an example.

reg map addressing

Motherboard Registers:

Read/Write access to the motherboard registers starts with the base address for the board and then the motherboard base offset address.

For example, to address Module Slot 1 Start Address register (i.e. register address = 0x0400):

  1. Start with the base address for the board.

  2. Add the motherbase register address offset.

Motherboard Address =

Base Address + Motherboard Address Offset

= 0x0000 0400

0x0000 0000 + 0x0400

Module Registers:

Read/Write access to the Function module’s registers start with the base address of the board. Add the “content” for the Module Start Address and then, add the specific module function register offset.

For example, to address an appropriate/specific function module with a register offset:

  1. Start with the base address for the board.

  2. Add the value (contents) from the module base address offset register (contents/value of Motherboard Memory register for Module 1 (i.e., @ 0x0400) = 0x4000.

  3. Then add the specific module function Register Offset of interest (i.e., A/D Reading Ch 1 @ 0x1000)

Interrupt Vector and Steering

When interrupts are enabled, the interrupt vector associated with the specific interrupt can be programmed (typically with a unique number/identifier) such that it can be utilized in the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) to identify the type of interrupt. When an interrupt occurs, the contents of the Interrupt Vector registers is reported as part of the interrupt mechanism. In addition to specifying the interrupt vector, the interrupt can be directed (“steered”) to the native bus or to the application running on the onboard ARM processor.

Note
The Interrupt Vector and Interrupt Steering registers are mapped to the Motherboard Common Memory and these registers are associated with the Module Slot position (refer to Function Register Map).

ETHERNET

(For detailed supplement, please visit the NAI web-site specific product page and refer to: Ethernet Interface for Generation 5 SBC and Embedded IO Boards Specification)

The Ethernet Interface Option allows communications and control access to all function modules either via the system BUS or Ethernet ports 1 or 2.

Ethernet 1

Ethernet 2

The default IP address:

192.168.1.16

192.168.2.16

The default subnet:

255.255.255.0

255.255.255.0

The default gateway:

192.168.1.1

192.168.2.1

Note
Actual "as shipped" card Ethernet default IP addresses may vary based upon final ATP configuration(s).) Ethernet Port IP addresses may be field re-flashed to new default programmed addressed via use of the “IP Configuring for Ethernet Supported Boards” FLASH software support kit, available/documented from the specific product web page.

The NAI interface supports IPv4 and IPv6 and both the TCP and UDP protocols. The Ethernet Operation Mode Command Listener application running on the motherboard host processor implements the operation interface. The listener is operational on startup through the nai_MBStartup process and listen on specific ports for commands to process. The default ports are listed below:

  • TCP1 - Port 52801

  • TCP2 - Port 52802

  • UDP1 - Port 52801

  • UDP2 - Port 52802

While the listener is active, note that interrupts from the motherboard do not trigger. The listener can be disabled by turning off the nai_MBStartup process through the Motherboard EEPROM. To turn off nai_MBStartup use the command mbeeprom_util set MBStartupInitOnlyFlag 1 in the console, either by serial port or telnet to the motherboard, and then reboot the system. To turn on the nai_MBStartup use the command mbeeprom_util set MBStartupInitOnlyFlag 0 in the console, either by serial port or telnet to the motherboard, and then reboot the system.

Ethernet Message Framework

The interface uses a specific message framework for all commands and responses. All messages begin with a Preamble code and end with a Postamble code. The message framework is shown below.

Preamble

2 bytes Always 0xD30F

SequenceNo

2 bytes

Type Code

2 byte

Message Length

(2 bytes)

Payload

(0..1414 bytes)

Postamble

2 bytes Always 0xF03D

Message Elements

Preamble

The Preamble is used to delineate the beginning of a message frame. The Preamble is always 0xD30F.

SequenceNo

The SequenceNo is used to associate Commands with Responses.

Type Code

Type Codes are used to define the type of Command or Response the message contains.

Message Length

The Message Length is the number of bytes in the complete message frame starting with and including the Preamble and ending with and including the Postamble.

Payload

The Payload contains the unique data that makes up the command or response. Payloads vary based on command type.

Postamble

The Postamble is use to delineate the end of a message frame. The Postamble is always 0xF03D.

Notes

  1. The messaging protocol applies only to card products.

  2. Messaging is managed by the connected (client) computer. The client computer will send a single message and wait for a reply from the card. Multiple cards may be managed from a single computer, subject to channel and computer capacity.

Board Addressing

The interface provides two main addressing areas: Onboard and Off-board.

Onboard addressing refers to accessing resources located on the board that is implementing the operation interface (including its modules).

Off-board addressing refers to accessing resources located on another board reachable via VME, PCI, or other bus. Off-board addressing requires a Master/Slave configuration.

The user must always specify if a particular address is Onboard or Off-board. See the command descriptions for the onboard and off-board flags.

Within a particular board (Onboard or Off-board), the address space is broken up into two areas: Motherboard Common Address Space and Module Address Space. All addresses are 32-bit.

Motherboard Common Address Space starts at 0x00000000 and ends at 0x00004000. This is a 4Kx32-bit address space (16 kbytes).

Module Address Space starts at 0x00004000. Module addressing is dynamically configured at startup. NAI boards support between 1 and 6 modules. The minimum module address space size is 4Kx32 (16 kbytes) and module sizes are always a multiple of 4Kx32.

Module addressing is dynamic and cumulative. The first detected module (starting with Slot 1) is given an address of 0x00004000. The 2nd detected Module is given an address of:

First_Detected_Module_Address + First_Detected_Module_Size

Note
Slots do not define addresses.

If no module is detected in a module slot, that slot is not given an address. Therefore, if the first detected Module is in Slot 2, then that module address will be 0x00004000. If the next detected module is in Slot 4, then the address of that Module will be:

Second_Detected_Module_Address = First_Detected_Module_Address + First_Detected_Module_Size

If a 3rd Module is detected in Slot 6, then the address of that Module will be:

Third_Detected_Module_Address = Second_Detected_Module_Address + Second_Detected_Module_Size

Note
Module addresses are calculated at each board startup when the modules are detected. Therefore, if a module should fail to be detected due to malfunction or because it was removed from the motherboard, the addresses of the modules that follow it in the slot sequence will be altered. This is important to note when programming to this interface.

Users can always retrieve the Module Addresses, Module Sizes and Module IDs from the fixed Motherboard Common address area. This data is set upon each board startup. While the Module Addressing is dynamic, the address where these addresses are stored is fixed. For example, to find the startup address of the module location in Slot 3, refer to the MB Common Address 0x00000408 from the Motherboard Common Addresses table that follows.

Rear I/O Data/Control Planes (P1)

The 68ARM1 is a root-complex SBC with four (4) PCIe ver. 2.0 x1 high-speed serial interface fabric bus lanes. As defined in the OpenVPX payload slot specifications, the 68ARM1 provides four ‘ultra-thin pipe’ (one Tx and one Rx differential pair), which provides additional user I/O definition opportunity. Additionally, the 68ARM1 can be commanded/controlled via dual port Gig-E (options for either 10/100/1000Base-T and/or 1000Base-KX (SerDes) Interfaces). Additional module I/O is also defined on the P1 user defined plane. Signals defined as N/C currently have no functionality associated or are considered optional and are not required for general operation.

Ethernet (Rear I/O)

Optional - See Part Number Designation section for specific configuration.

The 68ARM1 provides two optional Ethernet ports that can be configured as 10/100/1000Base-T or 1000Base-KX. The dual port interface option provides flexibility for OpenVPX embedded systems as the 1000-BaseKX ports can connect direct via the backplane to CPUs or Switches supporting that interface while also supporting legacy boards and external sensors or systems requiring 1000Base-T interfaces. Either Ethernet port can support either interface, however this must be configured at factory (See Part Number Designation section).

Additional Pinout Notes

1. Isolated Discrete Module (DT2)

For ‘differential' A/D; “P” designation considered ‘positive' input pin, “N” pin designation considered ‘negative' input pin.

2. Discrete I/O Module (DT1)

All GND pins are common within the module, but, isolated from system/power GND. Each pin should be individually wired for optimal power current distribution.

3. TTL I/O Module (TL1)

I/O referenced to system power GND.

4. CMRP - A/D Module(s) (ADx)

The Common Mode Reference Point (CMRP) is an isolated reference connection for all the A/D channels. For expected high common mode voltage applications, it is recommended that the pin designated as CMRP be referenced (direct or resistor coupled) to the signal source GND reference (must have current path between CMRP and signal source generator) to minimize common mode voltage within the acceptable specification range. All channels within the module are independent but share a CMRP, which is isolated from system/power GND.

APPENDIX: EMBEDDED ARM (XILINX® XC7Z015 SOC) OPTION DETAILS

If specified, the PLATFORM (e.g. NIU1A, 75G5, etc.) provides access to an ARM processor for embedded SBC-type applications. The platform uses a Xilinx® XC7Z015 SoC FPGA device. This device is a Single-die system on a Chip (SoC) that consists of two distinct parts: an application processor unit (APU) portion and an FPGA portion. The platform may be ordered with a configuration code, which provides access to the motherboards APU ARM processor. The application processor system can then be used for customer software development. The PLATFORM uses a Xilinx® XC7Z015 device with an ARM® Cortex®-A9 dual-core processor. The ARM processor, together with NAI’s unique architecture provides the embedded system programmer the following on- chip resources:

  • APU subsystem featuring dual ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore CPUs

  • DDR3 SDRAM controller with Transaction Scheduler

  • DMA controller with scatter-gather

  • Two Ethernet Media Access Controllers (EMACs)

  • NAND flash controller ONFI specification 1.0

  • Quad SPI flash controller

  • Two serial peripheral interface (SPI) Master or Slave controllers

  • 256 KB on-chip RAM

  • 128 KB on-chip boot ROM

  • Two UARTs with 64-byte receive and transmit FIFOs

  • Two General Purpose Timers

  • Two watchdog timers

Floating Point Unit (FPU)

The FPU is a VFPv3-D16 implementation of the ARMv7 floating-point architecture. It provides high performance, floating-point computation. The FPU supports all addressing modes and operations described in the “ARM Architecture Reference Manual”. The manual is available from several sources on the internet.

The FPU features are:

  • Support for single-precision and double-precision floating-point formats

  • Support for conversion between half-precision and single-precision

  • High data transfer bandwidth through 64-bit split load and store buses

  • Completion of load transfers can be performed out-of-order

  • Normalized and denormalized data are all handled in hardware

  • Trapless operation enabling fast execution

  • Support for speculative execution

The FPU fully supports single-precision and double-precision add, subtract, multiply, divide, multiply and accumulate, and square root operations. It also provides conversions between floating-point data formats and ARM integer word format, with special operations to perform the conversion in round-towards-zero mode for high-level language support.

10/100/1000 Ethernet

The PLATFORM supports two 10/100/1000 base-T Ethernet connections using two Marvell Alaska 88E1510 Ethernet PHY devices and the Xilinx Gigabit Ethernet MACs. The PHY-to-MAC interface employs a Reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface (RGMII) connection using four data lines at 250 Mbps each for a connection speed of 1 Gbps. The PLATFORM card contains internal magnetics and can directly drive copper CAT5e or CAT6 twisted pairs.

Memory

The PLATFORM supports the following memory interfaces:

  • DDR3 SDRAM (APU)

  • QSPI flash (APU)

  • SPI flash memory I2C EEPROM

  • I2C EEPROM

DDR3-SDRAM

The ARM DDR3 controller (part of the APU) is connected to a single x16-bit wide DDR3 SDRAM memory IS43TR16640 device. The IS43TR16640 is a 128 Mx16 device providing 256 Mbyte of SDRAM.

QSPI Flash (APU)

The PLATFORM supports one Spansion S25FL256S 32-MByte, Quad-SPI (QSPI) flash device. This device is used for nonvolatile storage of the ARM boot code, user data, and program. The device connects to the APU dedicated interface. The device interface may contain a secondary boot code. The device supports the Common Flash Interface (CFI). This 4-bit data memory interface can sustain burst read operations.

SPI

Serial Peripheral Interface Bus or SPI is a synchronous serial data link standard. SPI operates in full duplex mode. SPI devices communicate in master/slave mode where the master device starts a frame and sources the clock. The PLATFORM has one SPI controller. The SPI port is attached to an FM24CL64. The FM24CL64 is a 64-kilobit nonvolatile memory employing an advanced ferroelectric process.

I2C Interface

The APU system has one I2C interface for communicating with an AT24CS02 (256 x 8) EEPROM, the PLATFORM and status LED’s.

SATA Solid-State Drive

The Xilinx APU is directly connected to an onboard Solid-State Drive (SSD). The SSD contains a single level cell NAND Flash together with a controller in a single Multi-Chip package. The Multi-Chip packaged device is soldered directly to the printed circuit board for reliable electrical and mechanical connection.

The SSD has an external write protect signal HDW_WP. The HDW_WP signal must be connected or switched to ground to enable any write to the SSD. The HDW_WP signal is pulled up on card by a 4.7 kΩ resistor to the internal 3.3 V supply.
