1.2Normal-Mode Operation

By default, the EVM should be configured to operate in normal mode. The six jumpers (J7, J11, J13, J14, J15, and J16) should be covering both pins of each header (see Figure 1-2).

Figure 1-2. Power Jumpers

The dipswitch should be configured with SCL slide switch in the up position and DN1_DPSTRP, DN2_DPSTRP, and DN3_DPSTRP slide switches in the down position (see Figure 1-3). This configuration enables the EEPROM and disables hot-plug operation.

Figure 1-3. Dipswitch Configuration

The EEPROM (U3) should also be preconfigured for normal-mode operation. See Section 1.5 for an explanation of how to configure the EEPROM. Upon deassertion of PERST, the XIO3130 automatically reads data from the EEPROM. This data is used to preset various PCI configuration register bits. For normal-mode operation, the data in the EEPROM will configure bits in the following registers:

∙GPIO C control register (PCI register offset: C0h in upstream bridge)

–PCIE_GPIO12_CTL = 010b – Port 1 ACT_LED0

–PCIE_GPIO13_CTL = 011b – Port 2 ACT_LED1

–PCIE_GPIO14_CTL = 100b – Port 3 ACT_LED2

Setting these bits configures LED1 as activity LED for port 1, LED2 as activity LED for port 2, and LED3 as activity LED for port 3. Any time a TLP is transferred to or from the slot, the activity LED flashes. LEDs 4 and 5 are nonfunctional in normal mode; pressing the push buttons will have no effect on the XIO3130.
