Clock
: A clock generator (CDCI #1) is provided to drive 100 MHz HCSL clock for PCIe add on cards and
J721e SoC. Resistor options are provided to select the clock source for host and end point operation.
For PCIe host operation:
•
The add on cards can have clocks driven by SoC or clock generator. Selection can be made through
resistors as shown in

Hot plug
: The PRSNT1# and PRSNT2# signals are the hot plug presence detect signals. The PRSNT1#
is pulled up and PRSNT2# is connected to GPIO expander, so that PRSNT1# will be pulled low when a
add on card is plugged in as both the PRSNT signals in add on cards will be shorted. Optional resistor is
provided to short the PRSNT1# and PRSNT2# to support host and device mode.
For choosing Host or device operation of PCIe card, the following resistors must be mounted/unmounted
as mentioned in
