DC Power Supply

The EagleCore PolarFire SoC SOM Carrier is configured to use power from the DC power supply by connecting it to the

External DC Jack (J1). The external power supply should be in the range of +12V 5A.

Yes No Suggest edit

Power LED

The EagleCore PolarFire SoC SOM Carrier has a power LED (PWR) that will illuminate when the board receives sufficient power during startup.

Reset

The EagleCore SOM Carrier has a push button switch (SW2) for resetting the entire system. This pin is connected to the system reset pin of the FPGA.

Yes No Suggest edit

Gigabit Ethernet Port

The EagleCore PolarFire SoC SOM Carrier supports 2 Gigabit Ethernet communication lanes (J3 & J2), which support 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet interface. It also has an additional Activity and Link LED for providing a visual indication to the user about the status of the Ethernet. The Ethernet LINK LED indicates the presence of a network connection when illuminated, while the Gigabit Ethernet ACTIVITY LED signals active data transmission or reception over the network.

USB 2.0 OTG Connector

The EagleCore SOM Carrier provides a USB 2.0 OTG interface (P8) and can be accessed using a Micro-B

connector. USB OTG supports both Host, Device, and OTG modes based on the configuration made in the USB ID pin. An LED (USB_5V) is connected to the USB_5V as an indication of the presence of the VBUS in the USB pin.
