EagleCore PF01 Carrier | Numato Lab Help Center

1.Introduction

The EagleCore ZUC02 carrier is equipped with a 120-pin SMD gold-plated receptacle connector, enabling compatibility with various AMD System-on-Module (SoM) solutions such as the EagleCore ZU-Plus MPSoC SOM. The carrier introduces FPIC (Peripheral Interface Connector), a new I/O expansion interface developed by Numato Lab, designed to provide flexible and scalable peripheral connectivity. The board includes three FPIC interfaces, of which two support GT4 high-speed connections for high-bandwidth expansion, while one FPIC standard connector is intended for general peripheral connectivity.

The carrier board integrates a comprehensive set of onboard features to enhance flexibility and ease of use. These include an SD card slot for data and program storage, and a MIPI CSI-2 camera interface for high-speed image and video connectivity. Additional interfaces include a fan header for thermal management, two PMOD connectors, HDMI transmitter output, USB OTG support, two CAN headers, SMA connectors, four user push buttons, and four user LEDs. The board also features a USB Type-C connector for UART communication and USB-based programming, along with a dedicated JTAG header for debugging and development.

2.9.Gigabit Ethernet Port

The EagleCore SOM Carrier supports 1 Gigabit ethernet communication lanes (J3)which support 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet interface. It also has an additional Activity and Link LED for providing visual indication for 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.

2.12.MicroSD Card

The EagleCore SoM Carrier supports a microSD card slot (P12), providing additional non-volatile storage capacity. The microSD interface operates at 3.3 V, while the carrier’s native I/O operates at 1.8 V. To ensure proper signal compatibility, an onboard level translator is used to convert the 1.8 V I/O signals to 3.3 V. This compact and removable storage solution is well suited for storing large data sets, boot images, or configuration data that can be accessed during system startup.

2.13.Mode Selection DIP Switches

EagleCore SOM Carrier has DIP switches (SW8) for changing the boot configuration of the FPGA based on the required functionality. Users can utilize all four pins or only the necessary ones, leaving the remaining MODE pins unconnected.

EagleCore ZU-Plus SOM

The boot configuration of the EagleCore ZU+ SOM will be based on the below configuration of switches:

	MODE2	MODE1	MODE0
JTAG	0	0	0
QSPI (32Bit)	0	1	0
SD Card(2.0)	1	0	1
EMMC (1.8V)	1	1	0
