1.2.1. System architecture

The primary function of the Interface Module is to provide a connection between an Integrator motherboard and Integrator tiles. (The Integrator/AP and Integrator/CP use a different connector type and signal organization than the Integrator tiles.) The Interface Module also has connectors for Multi-ICE and trace. Figure 1.2 shows the architecture of the IM-LT1 Interface Module.

Note

The same PCB is used for the IM-LT1 and the IM-LT2. The IM-LT2 has additional logic and provides additional functionality to a Logic Tile implementing an ARM processor core. There are solder links on the Interface Module that bridge signals that are connected to an FPGA on the IM-LT2. The solder links are set at build time and are not user configurable.
