TORNADO-AZ/FMC is a low-cost single-width AdvancedMC module with Xilinx XC7Z100 largest Zynq-7000 AP SoC FPGA and FMC-site. It is designed for reliable 24/7 industrial operation.

Zynq-7000 AP SoC FPGA includes PS with 2x ARM Cortex-A9 and I/O peripherals, and PL with high-capacity logic/memory/DSP48 and 12.5Gbps GTH transceivers. The on-board memory includes 6GB DDR3, FLASH and NVRAM memories, and front-panel slot for microSD card. The AMC interface includes 10Gbps/12.5Gbps Fabric-DEFG ports 4-7/8-11 for in-chassis streaming I/O and Fabric-A 1GbE ports 0/1 for remote control and in-chassis AMC-to-AMC communication. Multi-color front-panel LEDs are provided to indicate user defined events from Zynq PS/PL applications. Application specific I/O is adopted via VITA57.1 FMC HPC/LPC module with AD/DA, SFP+, QSFP, MPO-MTP, etc.

The MMC firmware is based on the proprietary TAMMC G2 MMC kernel. MMC performs power and temperature management of the device and automatically locks/unlocks the device on critical conditions for reliable and safe functionality.

TASDK tools are used to remotely control the device and develop Zynq/PS ARM and remote control applications (Windows, Linux, Android) using unified cross-platform high-level Zynq/PS API and Host API. Multithreaded Zynq/PS ARM applications are developed using Linux, FreeRTOS and pre-certified Microsoft Azure ThreadX RTOS for demanding requirements.

The board can also be used as a stand-alone/embedded controller.

The AMC596 is based on the Virtex UltraScale XCVU440 FPGA in FLGA2892 package withan on board Power PC P2040. The AMC596 is compliant to the AMC.1, AMC.2, AMC.3 and/orAMC.4 specification.

The module provides 20 SERDES lanes on tongue 2, providing high-bandwidth connectivity toanother module at a very high speed (where supported by appropriate chassis). The use of thetongue 2 connector complies with the AMC.0 specification.

The on-board, re-configurable FPGA interfaces to the AMC FCLKA and TCLKA-D via a MLVDSCross Bar Switch (CBS). The FPGA has interface to one DDR4, 64-bit wide, with 8 GB totalmemory. This allows for large buffer sizes to be stored during processing as well as for queuingthe data to the host.

The on-board quad core P2040 runs at 1.2 GHz with 1 GB of DDR3, 128 MB of Boot Flash, anda 32 GB SD Card. The PPC has x4 PCIe interface to the FPGA in addition to its local bus. ThePPC has its dual GbE routed to ports 0 and 1 of the AMC via a mux to allow FPGA routing tothe ports as well. The same applies to ports 2-3 (PPC SATA ports or directly to the FPGA viamux selection).
