HDMI Connector (J1300)
The ST1 base board is equipped with an HDMI connector. The signals available on this connector
are routed to/from the FPGA banks on the SoC/FPGA device on the Mercury module via HDMI Redriver
U1300. Refer to section 6.7 for details on the HDMI interface and connectivity options.
The signals on this connector are ESD-protected.
The pinout on the J1300 connectors corresponds to the HDMI standard. In order to transmit video signals
through the links, FPGA support is required (video protocol implementation).
4.13
Mini DisplayPort Connector (J1200)
The ST1 base board is equipped with a Mini DisplayPort connector. The signals available on this
connector are routed to/from the FPGA banks on the SoC/FPGA device on the Mercury module. Refer to
section 6.8 for details on the DisplayPort interface.
The signals on this connector are ESD-protected.
The pinout on the J1200 connectors corresponds to the Mini DisplayPort standard. In order to receive and
transmit video signals through the links, FPGA support is required (video protocol implementation).
4.14
microSD Card Slot (J900)
The enclosure of J900 is connected to GND.
The microSD card signals are connected via a multiplexer with a built-in level shifter to the Mercury module
SDIO signals.
4.15
FMC Connector (J1400)
This connector allows the extension of the ST1 base board with other FMC (FPGA Mezzanine Card)
modules (Enclustra or third-party).
For details on the pinout of the FMC LPC (Low Pin Count) and HPC (High Pin Count), please refer to the
VITA 57 FMC specification.
Table 13 describes the FMC connector present on the ST1 base board.
Warning!
The FMC I/O pins are connected directly to the FPGA/SoC device. Use only VCC_IO voltages compliant
with the equipped FPGA/SoC device; any other voltage may damage the mounted Mercury FPGA/SoC
module, as well as other devices on the ST1 base board.
