lists the crystal oscillators component references and manufacturing
information.
General User Input/Output
This section describes the user I/O interface to the FPGA, including the push-buttons,
DIP switches, status LEDs, and character LCD.
User-Defined Push-Button Switches
The development board includes three user-defined push-button switches—two
general user push-button switches and one CPU reset switch. For information on the
system and safe reset push-button switches, refer to
“Reset Configuration Push-
button Switches” on page 2–20
.
Board references PB1 and PB2 are push-button switches that allow you to interact
with the Arria II GX device. When you press and hold the switch, the device pin is set
to logic 0; when you release the switch, the device pin is set to logic 1. There is no
board-specific function for these general user push-button switches.
The board reference PB3 is the CPU reset push-button switch,
CPU_RESET
, which is an
input to the Arria II GX device.
CPU_RESET
is intended to be the master reset signal for
the FPGA design loaded into the Arria II GX device. It also acts as a regular I/O pin.
Table 2–23
lists the user-defined push-button switch schematic signal names and their
corresponding Arria II GX device pin numbers.
