2.17 SD Card
An SD card can be connected to the PS MIO pins 40-45 or 46-51, or alternatively via EMIO pins to the PL.
The corresponding MIO pins are available on the module connector. Note that only MIO pins 40-45 allow
the Mars ZX3 SoC module to boot from the SD card. Information on this boot mode is available in Section
3.6.
Please note that external pull-ups are needed for SD card operation. Depending on the selected voltage
for VCC_CFG_PS_B13_B33, a level shifter to 3.3 V may be required (some level shifters also have built-in
pull-ups).
2.18 Gigabit Ethernet
A 10/100/1000 Mbit Ethernet PHY is available on the Mars ZX3 SoC module, connected to the PS and PL via
RGMII interface.
Please note that Xilinx recommends operation at 1.8 V/2.5 V for the RGMII interface for the MIO pins [18].
Enclustra tests have shown that the RGMII is functional with a 3.3 V I/O voltage on the MIO pins, as long
as the I/O voltage configured in Vivado matches the applied I/O voltage. However, in situations where a
voltage of 3.3 V for VCC_CFG_PS_B13_B33 is required, it is recommended to assign the Ethernet PHY signals
to FPGA logic and use the GMII to RGMII converter provided by Xilinx [21], instead of using 3.3 V on the
MIO pins.
