Serial EEPROM 

Serial Flash 

 

Temperature Sensor 

 

There is a 256Kb Atmel SPI Serial EEPROM which contains all the hardware 
configuration including things like pll multipliers and PCIe information. It 
also contains information on how to configure the firmware for the T4 ASIC 
including things like how to set up the DDR3 and the number of ports 
available on the card.  

This Serial EEPROM is not intended to be reprogrammed by the customer, 
and doing so could cause a device failure.  

 

The 32 Mb serial flash contains all the ASIC

s internal microprocessor 

firmware code. Once the ASIC and microprocessor boots itself, the EEPROM 
is read first to get configuration information. Then the ASIC copies the 
firmware from the flash to DDR3 memory and runs everything from there.  

This Serial EEPROM is not intended to be reprogrammed by the customer, 
and doing so could cause a failure in the device. The driver will auto-load the 
firmware if an update is required. The kernel must be configured to enable 
userspace firmware loading support:

A Texas Instruments TMP421 temperature sensor is connected to the 
thermal pins of the Terminator 4 ASIC to monitor the junction temperature 
of the ASIC and also the local temperature of the temperature senor.  The 
ASIC has been designed to shut down at junction temperatures above 115 
degrees Celsius. This is in an attempt to save the chip from being damaged 
and is not a guarantee that it will not be damaged.
