Safety Warnings (Must Read)
- Do NOT hot-plug the board: Power off the FPGA carrier board and unplug the power cable before installation/removal. Hot-plug operation will directly damage the board, carrier board or connected devices.
- Take ESD Protection Measures: Release static electricity from the human body (anti-static wristband is recommended) before touching the electronic components of the product. Static electricity can cause permanent damage to precision components.
- Standard Module Installation: Push SFP+ optical modules/cables gently to the locked position during insertion to avoid interface damage caused by violent plugging; perform hot-swapping operation only when the device is in idle state.
- Power Supply Safety: Connect power supply in strict accordance with the power supply requirements of the carrier board, ensure that the voltage is stable within the rated range, and avoid circuit burnout caused by overvoltage or reverse connection.
- Environmental Requirements: Avoid storing or using the product in places with water splashing, direct sunlight, strong electric/magnetic fields, strong vibration, or heavy dust to ensure long-term stable operation of the device.
Quick Start Guide
- Hardware Connection: Insert the Hello-FPGA-FMC-SFP-X4 daughter card into the FMC LPC slot of the FPGA carrier board correctly, tighten the fixing screws; insert SFP+ optical modules or cables according to requirements to ensure firm connection.
- Power Supply Configuration: Confirm that the FPGA carrier board is powered normally to ensure stable working voltage of the daughter card, and configure VADJ voltage (1.2V/1.8V/2.5V, etc.) according to I/O level requirements.
- Software Configuration: Launch Xilinx VIVADO development environment, load the board configuration file, and configure parameters such as clock and rate according to test requirements.
- Test & Verification: Enable IBERT tool for Bit Error Rate Test, Eye Diagram Scanning, etc., confirm that the link transmission status is normal and the Bit Error Rate meets the standard (≤8.3×10⁻¹²).
- System Deployment: After passing the test, deploy the device to the target scenario, fix the cables and board firmly, ensure good heat dissipation, and complete system integration.
- Maintenance & Upgrade: If SFP+ modules need to be replaced, the hot-swapping function is supported, which can be replaced directly without turning off the power supply of the entire system.
