The Baseboard: TE0703-06

The Trenz Electronic TE0703 carrier board is a baseboard for 4 x 5 SoMs, which exposes the MIO- and the PS/PL-pins of the SoM to accessible connectors and provides a whole range of on-board-components to test and evaluate Trenz Electronic 4 x 5 SoMs.

Key Features

• Trenz 4 x 5 module socket (3 x Samtec LSHM series connectors)
• Two VG96 backplane connectors are not soldered to the board, but they are included in the package as separate components.
• SDIO port expander with voltage-level translation
• Micro SD card connector - Zynq SDIO0 bootable SD port
• 4 x User LEDs
  • D1 and D2 are connected to the carrier controller, their function depends on the firmware
  • D3 and D4 are connected to the 4 x 5 module B2B connector pins, and are directly controlled by the module
• Mini USB connector (USB JTAG and UART interface)
• 1 x User push button
  • Connected to "intelligent Carrier Controller (iCC)" and can be used as module reset button. Other usage possible, actual function depend on the code loaded into iCC.
• RJ45 GbE connector
• USB host connector
• Barrel jack for 5V* power supply
• 4A high efficiency power SoC DC-DC step-down converter with integrated inductor for 3.3V power supply
• USB JTAG and UART interface (FTDI FT2232H), compatible with Xilinx tools (also with many other tools)
• 4 User DIP switches
  • Enable/disable update of the "intelligent Carrier Controller"
  • MIO0 (readable signal by iCC and module)
  • 2 "mode" bits
