Gen 1 vs Gen 2 Dev Board Information

Critical Link has released two versions of the MitySOM-A10S Development Board as follows:

CL Part Number* Generation
80-001127RC Gen 1
80-001218RI Gen 2

*The part number is found on the first line of the label near the PCIe header of the dev board.

Generation Differences

Depending on the interfaces used by your FPGA project you may need to have an alternate version to support your design on both development board generations due to the differences noted below:

Power Switch (SW701)

  1. As all SoMs can support the 5V input type the switch was removed and pop/no-pop resistors were utilized on the dev board to set the SoM input voltage to 5V.
    1. Gen 1
      1. Switch is populated which allows for the selection between 5V VIN to the SoM or 12V VIN to the SoM
    2. Gen 2
      1. Switch is NOT populated and SoM input voltage is fixed at 5V
      2. If a 12V SoM input is required please contact Critical Link for further details.

Temperature Alert LED

  1. A Red LED was added to the temperature alert output (t_alert) from the SoM at pin D2 of J201B
    1. Gen 1
      1. No connection to D2 at J201B
    2. Gen 2
      1. Active low red LED (D201) connected to D2 at J201B

Component Temperature Rating

  1. Gen 1 (Commercial Temperature Rated)
    1. Some components used on the development board are not all industrial temperature rated.
  2. Gen 2 (Industrial Temperature Rated)
    1. All components used on the development board are industrial temperature rated.

FMC Connector J300

  1. It was found on Gen 1 that the P/N pair was reversed for FMC pins J18 & J19 compared to the Arria 10 SoC p/N polarity.
    1. Gen 1
      1. Arria 10 SoC Ball Y1 (P) connected to FMC Pin J19 (N)
      2. Arria 10 SoC Ball Y2 (N) connected to FMC Pin J18 (P)
    2. Gen 2
      1. Arria 10 SoC Ball Y1 (P) connected to FMC Pin J18 (P)
      2. Arria 10 SoC Ball Y2 (N) connected to FMC Pin J19 (N)

Transceivers/PCIe Connector

  1. It was found in the Gen 1 board that the transceivers routed to the PCIe connector needed to change. Due to this, some of the transceivers connected to the FMC connector were also changed for the Gen 2 board. The differences between Gen 1 and Gen 2 are shown below and also included in the attached Excel spreadsheet (https://support.criticallink.com/redmine/attachments/download/23998/Gen1_vs_Gen2.xlsx).
