VXS DSP FMC carrier

A second version of the VXS-DSP-FMC Carrier was launched after a series of tests with the V1.

Main issues addressed by this new release are:

  1. DSP ICE JTAG connector pattern mirror image correction
  2. Change of FMC FPGA type from XC5VLX110T-1FFG1136C to XC5VSX95T-1FFG1136C to get 10x more DSP resources for FMC IP cores
  3. Add another XCF32PFS48C prom to support the new FPGA type
  4. Bug fixes in power connections
  5. Change power inductor L8 for one with a 5A rating.
  6. Bug fixes in JTAG chain
  7. Front panel now of type ELMA 26D604-6 (with easy insertion / extraction handles)
  8. Bug fix polarity reversal of GTP TX X0Y4_TX0 and X0Y6_TX0
  9. Bug fix I2C pull-up resistors of buses Main2F0 and Main2F2 must be powered from P2V5
