Before You Begin: Jumper and Switch Settings (continued)
Pentek Model 5201 VPX Carrier Switches
Clock Driver Operation
: DIP switch
SW1
selects modes for the XMC interface clock
drivers.
SW1
sets the following functions: clock power down, SRC stop, PLL bypass,
and PLL bandwidth.
XMC Geographic Address
: DIP switch
SW2
selects the Geographic Address bits
(GA0, GA1, GA2) for the XMC site interface.
To preview the DIP switch settings you’ll need to consider for the 5201 carrier PCB,
refer to Section 2.7 of the
Model 52791 Installation Manual

Description of Software
Board Support Software for the Pentek Model 71791 XMC
Pentek’s ReadyFlow
®
Board Support Packages (BSP)
contain software support for the
Model 71791 XMC module. This includes a device driver, plus the ReadyFlow Board
Support Library data structures and routines. The following available BSPs allow
high
−
level programming for various workstation platforms. Refer to the user’s guide
indicated for each platform:
• Model 4994A ReadyFlow BSP for Linux
®
Installation and Getting Started Guide
• Model 4995A ReadyFlow BSP for Windows
®
Installation and Getting Started Guide
Pentek’s ReadyFlow
®
Board Support Libraries
contain a set of C
−
language data
structures and routines for accessing the Model 71791 programmable resources. Refer
to the
ReadyFlow Programmer’s Reference
for details.
Software for the FPGAs
The FPGA is supported with a Pentek GateFlow
®
FPGA Design Kit. The GateFlow
Design Kit (Model 4953) facilitates user
−
installed FPGA functions using the Xilinx ISE
Design Suite. The FPGA Design Kit allows the user to modify, add to, or replace the
default logic functions within the FPGA with functions of his or her own definition.
NOTE:
GateFlow is a very specialized software package intended for users with
experience in FPGA logic programming. This package may not be required if
the default functions included in the FPGA code, as written by Pentek, satisfy
the requirements of your application.
Refer to the
GateFlow User Manual
for more information.
