Anti-Static

• [ ] Before touching any boards/devices, using an anti-static wrist strap to keep your partner and yourself grounded;
• [ ] When moving any boards/devices, using anti-static bags or boxes;

Visual Testing

• [ ] (if you could) check the type of PFGA, this design supports four Xilinx FPGAs in the FFG1927 package:
  • XC7VX690T (80 GTX, be used in the first proto-type);
  • XC7VX550T (80 GTX);
  • XC7VX485T (56 GTX, Quads 113-119 & 213-219)
  • XC7VX415T (48 GTX, Quads 114-119 & 214-219)

• [ ] Check if all the component soldered properly, and in correct orientation:
  • Soldering quality;
  • orientation of IC's: see small ticks around the IC's;
  • polarity of capacitors, see figure below:
  • 
  • check all fuses are installed.
• [ ] Measure the resistors which are involved with the Power Regulators :
  • All the resistors listed in the below table are in the back of pulsarIIb board:
  • 
  • Note, the reference values in the below table is from pulsarIIb #3, no need to be exactly same.

• [ ] Dip Switch status (SW1,SW2):
  • Set the 2 dip switches to 200MHz
  • 
• [] Check jumpers configuration:
  • Zone 1 jumper (JP2):
    • OFF = IPMC CONTROL; ON = FORCE 12V ON;
    • When there is no IPMC, turn on to force 12V on;
    • 
  • 4 FMC jumpers (JP1-FMC1,2,3,4):
    • 1-2: BYPASS; 2-3: NORMAL;
    • when there is NO FMC mezzanine card, need to bypass this FMC connecter. 1 jumper as example:
    • 
  • Zone3 jumpers (JP3, JP4):
    • ON = IPMC CONTROL; OFF = FORCE ON; (opposite to Zone1 jumper JP2)
    • when there is no IPMC, OFF to force RTM power on:
    • 
• [ ] Put FPGA Heat Sink, and fan;

Voltages Testing

• [ ] Use anti-static band to connect yourself with GND.
• [ ] Setup the mini backplan with proper voltage applied.(recommend 48V , can work from 36V to 72V, )
• [ ] Turn on the fan for cooling.

Initial configuration for the first testing:

• [ ] With mini backplane;
• [ ] without RTM;
• [ ] without FMC, JP1-FMC1,2,3,4 set to bypass(connect 1-2);

At first, test management voltage:

• [ ] Without IPMC mezzanine card, but turn JP2 off, so the 12V voltage are off, while the management voltage (3.3V from PIM) still on:
• 
• [ ] After this test, turn off the main voltage.

Then, test other voltages:

• [ ] Check all jumpers' pin states again.
  • [ ] without IPMC mezzanine card, JP2 ON, JP3 OFF, JP4 OFF;
• [ ] Turn on the main voltage.
  • Note: immediately 12V will be on and all the voltage will be activated;
  • Note: hot swap handle not work in this version of design!! Turn off the main voltage directly to turn off the board.
• [ ] Check current value (before FPGA is programmed);
• [ ] Probe voltage of several points to check if they are expected:
  • [ ] 5 test points of GND:
  • 
  • Note: Summary of positions of power regulators:
  • 
  • [ ] VCC12 (from Power Converter U9): input for U16, U17, U18, U21, and U23;

Insert IPMC card: manager

After make sure the board passed all voltage testing, we could insert IPMC card and pull out J2 jumper.

RTM power supply test

• [ ] Probe the power output from Pulsar IIb board zone-3:
  • 12V@ D10
  • 
    
  • 12V power and 3.3V manage power @ blue connector:
    • Only probe the orange pins, not touch the black pins;
      • • A1: 0V. It's Manage Power, only when RTM connected, it's 3.3V;
        • A2: GND;
        • A3: 12V;
        • A4: GND;
        • B2: 3.3V(PNs) when RTM is disconnected;
        • B3: 12V;
        • B4: GND
    • black pins:
      • • B1: ENABLEn
        • C1: SCL_L
        • C2: SDA_L
        • C3, C4, D1, D2, D3, D4 are not used
    • 
• [ ] Connect the RTM to Pulsar IIb board to further testing

First LED Blinking Test

• [ ] Check 4 FMC jumpers( JP1-FMC1,2,3,4) connection before JTAG programming: if there is no FMC card, to connect 1-2 to bypass this FMC connector.
• [ ] Programming FPGA with LED blinker ( link) from JTAG programming header:
  • [ ] Check DONE LED( D1): turn Blue with vivado XADC can be monitered.
    • 
  • [ ] Take care for temperature when you program new firmware ALWAYS (SET 75C^o as up limit).
  • [ ] There are four LEDs in frond panel, if input clock frequency is A MHz, for example 200 MHz:
    • 1st LED : A*1e6/2^(25+1) = 2.98 Hz blinking
    • 2nd LED: A*1e6/2^(26+1) = 1.49 Hz blinking
    • 3rd LED : A*1e6/2^(27+1) =0.745 Hz blinking
    • 4th LED : always on. (It's clock locked signal: if the sys-clock properly worked, alwyas on. )
