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 external 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 Interface Connection: Ensure the FMC slot is fully aligned with the board connector before insertion to avoid pin damage caused by violent plugging; pay attention to positive and negative poles when connecting Dupont wires to prevent device burnout due to reverse connection.
- 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; the total power consumption of external devices shall not exceed the power output limit of the board when supplying power.
- 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.
- SMA Interface Protection: When connecting high-speed devices, avoid excessive bending of SMA cables to prevent interface loosening or cable damage that may affect signal transmission quality.
Quick Start Guide
- Hardware Connection: Insert the Hello-FPGA-FMC-EXT40 mezzanine card into the FMC LPC slot of the FPGA carrier board correctly, tighten the fixing screws to ensure the connector is fully engaged.
- External Device Connection: Connect external devices such as binocular cameras, LCD screens and AD modules to the 40-pin expansion interface via Dupont wires, paying attention to the correspondence between power supply positive/negative poles and signal pins.
- High-Speed Device Connection (If Needed): Connect high-speed devices to the SMA interfaces of the board via SMA cables to ensure secure cable connection without loosening.
- Power Supply Configuration: Confirm that the FPGA carrier board is powered normally, and supply power to external devices through the 5V/3.3V power supply provided by the board expansion interface according to requirements.
- System Verification: Launch the FPGA development environment, configure I/O port parameters, test the communication status between external devices and the FPGA carrier board, and confirm normal data transmission.
- Maintenance & Upgrade: Avoid pulling cables during use, and regularly check the connection status of interfaces; if you need to replace external devices, you can directly plug and unplug Dupont wires without turning off the carrier board power (for low-power devices).
