I/O Connectors
The connections provided for the S5 family of boards include Altera JTAG, RS-232, RJ-45, and USB. Support of these connectors depends on the S5 board the BWBO is used with.
There is one RS-232 on the BWBO face plate, and another is available with a second cable breakout (provided). The RS-232s typically connect to the microcontroller used for monitoring power and temperature; the second RS-232 can be used with a UART instantiated in the Stratix V for user purposes.
An RJ-45 connector (used only for VPX boards) provides 10/100-BaseT, and a USB connector provides a host port for connecting slave devices such as Flash drives or keyboards to the host board.
Form Factor and Power
The ACC-BWBO is designed as a small PCI style board. It is powered by the host board and therefore takes no power from the slot; however, it has a small tab to allow it to be put in a PCI or PCIe slot as well as a standard faceplate.
Included Cables
All necessary cables are shipped with the ACC-BWBO. These include the following:
- Flex cable for connecting the ACC-BWBO to the host board (supports full connection to host board)
- Ribbon cable for alternate connection to host board (no support for USB)
- IDC-to-DB9 cable for use with the 10-pin RS-232 connector
