TTL Register Descriptions

Attached to the Ultrascale+™ CPU via local bus is a portion of the FPGA. This logic provides miscellaneous “glue” functions and 6 programmable TTL I/O channels (TTL_CH [6:1]). (These TTL channels may be programmed as inputs or outputs as needed. Channels that are programmed as inputs may generate interrupts. Interrupts on input pins can be programmed to occur on (high to low) or (low to high) input pin transitions. TTL interrupts occur on the IRQ10 input of the Ultrascale+™ CPU.

The 68G6 utilizes level shifting single ended bus transceivers, allowing the I/O pins to be 5 V tolerant. Each I/O pin is individually pulled up on card by a 4.7 KΩ resistor to the internal 3.3 V supply rail. External pull ups are not required for open collector operation. The TTL_CH [6:1] signals are pinned out as rear I/O on connector P2. As a factory option, the TTL_CH[6] pin may be disconnected and its associated P2 pin used to support a Tamper Detect Interface and Action Circuit.

TTL Direction

Function: TTL direction. Sets channels as inputs or outputs. Bitmapped.

Function Address Offset(s): 0x83C1 0314

Type: binary word (16-bit)

Read/Write: R/W

Initialized Value: 0x00 (all channels to Input)

Operational Settings: Write 0 for input; 1 for output: Default is configured for Input. Data bits [5:0] correspond to one of six channels TTL_CH [6:1] respectively.

TTL Data

Function: Reads the TTL output of a specific channel’s I/O pin. Write to this register to set the channel to drive high or low. Bitmapped.

Function Address Offset(s): 0x83C1 0318

Type: binary word (16-bit)

Read/Write: R/W

Initialized Value: 0x00

Operational Settings: TTL_DIR register must be set for input (0). Write 0 for Low output; write 1 for High output: Data bits [5:0] correspond to one of 6 channels TTL_CH [6:1] respectively.

Note
Reading this register returns the output to the I/O pin of a specific channel and does not return the value set to the register. Because of this, if there is impedance to the pin it may not return the proper setting. For example, if the channel is set to drive high and some impedance causes it to drive low, then this register will read low (0). To guarantee the correct setting is read, please refer to the TTL Loopback register.

  • cPCI/PCIe BAR or Base Address for the Board

  • Module Slot Base Address

  • Function Offset Address

Board Base Address

The table below lists the BAR used for access to the motherboard and module registers. The second BAR is used internally for motherboard and module firmware updates. The other cPCI/PCIe BARs not listed are not used.

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.

68G6 addressing

Figure 1. 68G6 Register Memory Map Addressing

Address Calculation

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 motherboard register address offset.

Motherboard Address =

Base Address + Motherboard Address Offset

= 0x9000 0400

0x9000 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)

(Function Specific) Address =

Motherboard Health Monitoring Registers

The registers in this section provide a summary of motherboard temperature sensors and their corresponding bits. Additionally, this section provides an overview of the registers allocated to those sensors, which are used to monitor current/minimum/maximum temperature readings, upper & lower critical/warning temperature thresholds, and whether or not a programmed temperature threshold has been exceeded.

These registers are only available on Xilinx Generation 5 platforms, and are periodically populated by the motherboard core application, which only runs in Petalinux and BareMetal. For other operating systems, refer to the naibrd Software Support Kit (SSK) naibsp_system_Monitor_Temperature_Get() routine to manually retrieve the temperature (NOTE: this feature is typically utilized for development/factory use only; contact the factory for additional details on potential use, if required).

Motherboard Sensor Summary Status

Motherboard Sensor Registers

The registers listed in this section apply to each module sensor listed for the Motherboard Sensor Summary Status register. Each individual sensor register provides a group of registers for monitoring motherboard temperatures readings. From these registers, a user can read the current temperature of the sensor in addition to the minimum and maximum temperature readings since power-up. Upper and lower critical/warning temperature thresholds can be set and monitored from these registers. When a programmed temperature threshold is crossed, the Sensor Threshold Status register will set the corresponding bit for that threshold. The figure below shows the functionality of this group of registers when accessing the Zynq Core Temperature sensor as an example.

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

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.
