Ethernet PHY Status LEDs
, callout 23]
Two Ethernet PHY status LEDs are integrated into the metal frame of the P2 RJ-45 connector,
installed on the top edge and towards the back of the VCU128 board. The two PHY status LEDs
are visible within the frame of the RJ45 Ethernet jack as shown in the following figure. As viewed
from the front opening, the left green LED is the link activity indicator and the right green LED is
the 1000BASE-T link mode indicator.

, callout 25, 26]
The VCU128 evaluation board I2C bus implementation consists of I2C bus I2C0. The FPGA U1
HP bank 67 (VCCO VCC1V8) and system controller U42 bank 501 are wired to I2C0 via level-
shifters. I2C bus I2C0 is routed to a 1-to-4 channel TI PCA9544A bus switch U55 (address 0x75)
and a dual 8-bit port TI TCA6416A IO expander U65 (address 0x20). I2C bus I2C0 is also routed
to a pair of 1-to-8 channel TI TCA9548A bus switches U53 (address 0x74) and U54 (address
0x76). The bus switches can operate at speeds up to 400 kHz. The VCU128 evaluation board
I2C0 I2C bus topology is shown in the following figures.
