Clock and reset¶

The ECPIX-5 development offers a wide variety of clock inputs to accomodate specific usages.

Clock sources¶

100Mhz system clock

FPGA pin: K23

100Mhz SERDES reference clock

FPGA pins: AF12 (P) / AF13 (N)

26Mhz SD clock

FPGA pin: N22

Extra oscillator source

An unpopulated spot (X4, near the FPGA) lets you use the oscillator of your choice.

FPGA pin: H26

ECPIX-5 has two reset buttons:

GSRN (Global Reset): Performs a hardware reset operation on the ECP5
System Reset: Performs a hardware reset of the peripherals (FTDI, HDMI, ULPI, Ethernet, DDR3) and a soft reset of the ECP5 (FPGA pin: N5). This System Reset can be triggered by the FPGA itself (FPGA pin: M6)

The system reset signal is generated by a MAX6420 reset generator. It lasts a few milliseconds and ensure a proper bounce-less reset of the system.

All the peripherals (FTDI, HDMI, ULPI, Ethernet PHY) can be independantly reset by the FPGA.
