felix_hmm, it would be good to have the pinout/documentation (including voltage levels) of the plugin module slots on the website as image or pdf (at elast i didn't find it)17:13
felix_the levds lanes were 1,8v and the io lines 3,3v, right?17:13
felix_*lvds17:13
Kjetillvds is lvds :)17:25
Kjetilbut i guess they can be used single ended as well17:26
felix_yep. but if someone uses a bitstream that hat those pins in a wrong mode, the fpga shouldn't get damaged due to too high voltage17:27
felix_i've already (partially) fried enough fpgas with too high voltage on the inputs... but that was only one fpga when i was i think 13. didn't take into account that a multimeter only shows an average voltage and 50% duty cycle of 5v are 2,5v which was the voltage of the io bank the clock was connected to. but yeah, mistakes you only make once ;P17:30
Kjetilhehe17:31
KjetilI don't think the FPGA will get damaged by setting the wrong voltage mode in the bitstream. It is more dependent on the voltage supplied to the bank17:32
felix_it depends. setting a much lower voltage in the bitstream than supplied might also cause damage in the io blocks17:33
felix_the other way around the slew rate will just be much lower17:33
felix_but the problem i meant was if some output is configured as not-lvds and drives the output hight with a higher voltage than the io bank voltage of the other fpga17:35
Kjetilsure17:47
Kjetilbut the protection diode on the other fpga will likely save it17:48
KjetilIf there is a current limiter on the output of the transmitting part17:49
KjetilBut having the documentation readily available is good17:50
KjetilI prefer a format easily parsable by a machine if one wishes to do any kind of automatic verification17:51

felix_uh oh, the clock of the config flash is in about the worst place in the bga for routing on a 4 layer board :/ but i think worst case is that i have to limit the programming clock to 33mhz; which is still ok when using a quad io flash21:08
