TityraCore SODIMM Carrier

The TityraCore SoC Carrier enable the interfacing of various SoDIMM modules, such as the TityraCore Z7 SoC SoDIMM. The TityraCore SoC carrier includes a High Pin Count (HPC) high-speed FMC connector, Gigabit ethernet connector, MicroSD Card slot and much more. Even though it has onboard peripherals, the number of peripherals can be increased using the Pmod and FMC connectors.

• SODIMM Connectors
• FTDI FT2232H for FPGA and Host communication
• RJ45 JACK
• USB Type-C connector
• USB micro-B connector for OTG communication
• 12V DC power supply
• JTAG Header for programming and debugging.
• FMC connector with a maximum of 92 IOs for user-defined purpose
• ANSI/VITA 57.1 Standard-compliant FMC HPC connector
• Two 2×6 Expansion Header
• CAN Header
• microSD Card Slot

The following sections describe how to use this module in detail.

In addition to the module, you may require the accessories listed below for a convenient and expedited installation:

• 12 V DC Power Supply
• Micro-B cable.
• USB-C cable
• A Xilinx Platform Cable USB II compatible JTAG programmer
• MicroSD card

• Numato Lab TityraCore Z7 SoC SODIMM.

The EagleCore SOM Carrier has a push button switch (DEV RST) to reset the system. This pin is connected to the system reset pin of the FPGA.

TityraCore SoC Carrier supports 10/100/1000 Mbps ethernet interface. The FPGA pins are connected to ethernet Rj45 jack. It also has Activity and Link LED for providing indication for the user.

The onboard high-speed USB connector (P15) helps a PC/Linux/Mac computer to communicate with this module.

Use a USB A to C cable to connect with a PC. This port will act as both a JTAG and UART interface.

TityraCore SoC Carrier provides a USB 2.0 OTG interface and can be accessed using a Micro B connector (P8). USB OTG supports both Host and Device modes based on the configuration made in the USB ID pin.

TityraCore SoC Carrier supports a microSD card slot, offering additional non-volatile memory storage capacity.

It operates in 3.3V and offers a compact and removable storage solution, making it ideal for storing data that exceeds the internal memory capacity of the FPGA. FPGAs can use microSD cards to store boot images or configuration data, which are loaded into the FPGA at startup.

TityraCore SoC Carrier has DIP switches (MODE SELECT) for changing the boot configuration of the FPGA based on the required functionality.

Boot Configuration:

The boot configuration of the TityraCore SoC will be based on the below configuration of switches:

TityraCore SoC Carrier supports two 12 pin PMOD connectors that follows Digilent PMOD standards. PMOD offers multiple options for users to connect different peripherals and communication standards based on their needs.

TityraCore SoDIMM Carrier supports CRUVI standard connectors for more complex applications. Customizable Ruggedized Universal VI is a universal connector for easy connection of peripheral modules to the main board, enabling developers to extend the functionality of their systems with minimal effort.

The TityraCore SoC Carrier has a Coin Cell Holder (BT1) to support a 1.8V coin cell that will support 

backup voltage for RTC when the main power supply is off. RTC maintains accurate timekeeping through these battery backups. The battery should be kept in the carrier board to provide voltage if the main power is off.

FT2232H is configured in such a way that Channel A is dedicated to JTAG Programming and channel B is for custom applications.

The TityraCore SoC Carrier has 2 CAN (P14)headers dedicated for CAN communication interfaces.

TityraCore SoC Carrier supports PMIC connector for programming the power section of the FPGA using I2C communication protocol (P10). It also includes a dedicated enable switch (SW3)to assist users in initially programming the PMIC.

TityraCore SoC Carrier supports standard Xilinx 14-pin JTAG Header for debugging purposes.

JTAG 2 – AMD (P23)

TityraCore features a low pin-count FMC connector which can be used to provide additional features and capabilities to it using custom or commercial-off-the-shelf daughter boards.
