The [[Media:Kart Control V40.pdf|FPGA motherboards]] are equipped with
+
an AGL125 [http://www.microsemi.com/products/fpga-soc/fpga/igloo-overview IGLOO] in a VQ100 package and a 10 MHz Quartz.

== Connection ==

+
They have two I2C connectors on one side and the programming connector on the other side.
+
The I2C connectors allow daisy chaining either with fixed-length PCBs or with flat cables.
+
 
+
The daughterboards connect on the two single row connectors on the long sides.
+
The mounting screws on 3 corners only are used to secure against placing the daughter board the wrong way round.

The following figure shows the pinning in case of test needs:

A [[Media:Kart tester board.pdf|test board]] routes the FPGA motherboard connector pins
+
from one to the next.
+
The path also includes the SCL and SDA pins of the bus connector.
+
The path extremities are located on spare I/Os of the JTAG programming connector.
+
Each pair of pins are also connected to a LED, which shows to what extent the signal path is functional.

+
A square wave is sent from one extermity to the other, thus having half of the pins working as outputs and the other half working as inputs.
+
A switch allows to invert the path's direction, thus changing the I/O mode of all the pins.
+
 
+
The system is powered via a circular connector which connects to a 3.3 V regulator.
+
5 V is a good power voltage candidate.
