Notes / comments
1
Turn on the
PCIe extender
OFF
OFF
All are ON
The FPGA is not yet programmed
2
Program the
Tandem1 part
into the
NorFlash using
the JTAG cable
OFF
ON
ON
The Xilinx SW tools programs the
NorFlash interface into the FPGA
3
Restart the
PCIe extender
ORANGE
Solid
ON
OFF
The stage 1 is programmed into the
FPGA
4
Program the
Tandem2 using
JTAG
BLUE Solid
ON
OFF
The stage 2 is programmed into the
FPGA
5
Start the PC
BLUE
intermittent
ON
Follow the
PCIe
current
status
The FPGA is correctly programmed.
The module is detected into the
Device Manager (Acqiris Signal
Acquisition Intruments
6
Turn off the PC
WHITE Solid
ON
OFF
The FPGA is always well
programmed
7
Restart the
PCIe extender
ORANGE
Solid
ON
OFF
The Tandem1 stage is well
programmed into the FPGA
If warning or error status is observed, power-cycle the host computer (if using a PCIe
expansion chassis, observe the power sequence requirements).
If the error persists please contact technical support
