At power on, the system controller detects if an FMC module is installed on J28:
• If no card is aached to the FMCP connector, the VADJ voltage is set to 1.8V.
• When an FMC card is aached, its IIC EEPROM is read to nd a VADJ voltage supported by
both the ZCU670 board and the FMC module, within the available choices of 0.0V, 1.2V, 1.5V,
and 1.8V.
• If no valid informaon is found in an FMC card IIC EEPROM, the VADJ_FMC rail is set to 0.0V.
The system controller user interface allows the FMC IPMI roune to be overridden and an
explicit value can be set for the VADJ_FMC rail. Override mode is useful for FMC mezzanine
cards that do not contain valid IPMI EPROM data dened by the ANSI/VITA57.1 specicaon.
ZCU670 MSP430 System Controller
[Figure 2, callout 19]
The ZCU670 board includes an on-board MSP430 (U38) with integrated power advantage
demonstraon and system controller rmware. A host PC resident system controller board user
interface is provided on the ZCU670 Evaluaon Board website. The board user interface allows
the query and control of select programmable features such as clocks, FMC funconality, and
power system parameters. The ZCU670 website also includes the ZCU670 System Controller GUI
Tutorial (XTP698) and ZCU670 Soware Install and Board Setup Tutorial (XTP699).
These steps briey summarize these instrucons.
1. Ensure that the Skyworks Soluons, Inc. (SiLabs) VCP USB-UART drivers are installed Silicon
Labs CP210x USB-to-UART Installaon Guide (UG1033).
2. Download the board user interface host PC applicaon from the board documentaon
website.
3. Connect the micro-USB cable to the ZCU670 USB-UART connector (J24).
4. Power-cycle the ZCU670.
5. Observe that SYSCTLR LED0 (DS9) blinks and LED1 (DS10) is illuminated.
