2.16 Minimum design settings for board operation
You must implement a minimum amount of RTL in the FPGA for theMPS2 or MPS2+ FPGA
Prototyping Board to operate correctly.
You must tie off the following FPGA signals to generate the minimum RTL in the FPGA for correct
operation:
1. Set the following signals to the inactive HIGH state:
• SMB_PSRAM_nce[1:0].
• SMB_ETH_nCS.
• SSRAM1_nCE1.
• SSRAM2_nCE1
• SSRAM3_nCE1
2. Set the SMB chip select to the inactive HIGH state by tying the chip selects SMB_nCS to
0b11111111.
3. Set the CFGDATAOUT signal to the inactive LOW state by tying NAND_D[5] to 0b0.
Note
This informs the MCC that the board does not implement any of its features.
4. Set the nRSTREQ to the inactive HIGH state by tying NAND_D[7] to 0b1.
Note
This prevents nRSTREQ from generating a reset. nRSTREQ is usually a system-wide master soft
reset signal that is both generated and observed by the JTAG debug box.
Note
Arm recommends that you tie all unused pins to their inactive states.
