On-Board Temperature Sensor
The PCIe Accelerator-6D card comes with an on-board Maxim temperature sensor which can be accessed via
the I C interface to measure the temperature captured by the onchip temperature diode of in the HD1000 FPGA.

Board-Specific Design Issues
The PCIe Accelerator-6D board is optimized for networking and compute acceleration applications. As such,
Achronix has configured the SerDes and the I/O at specific pins on the HD1000 device. This configuration must
maintain during any changes made to the design hosted in the FGPA. Achronix provides a template for ACE to
avoid inadvertent changes to the configuration. The clocking structure implemented on the board must also be
maintained during any design changes.
