Use FPGA JTAG Cable (Altera Blaster II) to burn the .pof image into FPGA chip. Please subsrcibe to obtain the Whitley BKC list at https://targetmailer.intel.com/subscriptions/#/30?cat=109 for the latest Main CPLD image release. ================================================================================ KNOWN ISSUES/WORKAROUND ================================================================================ - PLD timing was addressed from Whitley PDG. Power rails from the CPU are on before asserting the PCH PWROK. The SYS_PWROK signal depends directly on PCH_PWROK. The PROC_PWRGD signal is the same as PWRGD_CPUPWRGD. No issues with booting platform. - The Fab 2 board PLD image is not backwards compatiable with a Fab 1 board due to pinout changes from Fab 1 to Fab 2. - 0x04 image contained clear CMOS and VR SMBus connections errors. 0x02.pof(Fab 1) and Main_non_pfr.pof(Fab 2) fixes these issues. ================================================================================ UPDATE ================================================================================ [Main CPLD] Rev00.00 - PLD revision number for Main CPLD Rev00.05 addition - CPLD update to fix minor issues related with: ONCTL, CPUPWRGD, PWRBTN and PFR SMBus by-pass module. - PFR RoT enabled: - Updated timing to use PCH and BMC constraints from device datahseets. Added some additional reporting paths. Updated monitor interfaces to do timing on clock_fall. - New system console script to help read SPI contents. - Enabled SPI filter in provisioned mode. Added checks in unittest to make sure SPI/SMBus filters are enabled in provisioned T0 mode. - Parameter added to allow user to choose ecdsa authentication result when EC block is disabled. Default value is EC authentication return failure. [Debug CPLD] Rev00.01 - PLD revision number for Main CPLD - Release for Debug CPLD located on Wilson City Baseboard.
