Delaying power up on a two SOM board

mad_dog
mad_dog over 1 year ago

Hello! I am designing the hardware for a board that uses two of the 7EV SOMs. I would like one SOM to power up and boot before the other SOM. I know the expected power up method requires the primary SOM power to come up, then the carrier board uses the SOM_PG_OUT signal to sequence up the remaining power supplies. This has to happen within 300mS of SOM_PG_OUT assertion. If primary power comes up at the same time for both SOMs (ie a 12V supply for the whole system) is there a way to delay one SOM beyond the 300mS period? Or possibly recover from the error created by that violation with a reset, maybe the SOM_RESET_IN_N signal? Any ideas on how best to handle two SOMs on one board is appreciated. Thanks.

PS: I think ideally I'd like to find a way to allow both SOMs to power up simultaneously, but have one of them delay the FPGA configuration using a pin in the SOM interface, if such a pin exists.

    Please read this part first:

    You need to power up 2 7EV SOMs at the same time(easier way). 300mS for SOM_PG_OUT assertion is quite long as far as you don't have long delay between some PS power rails. I don't know HW information on 7EV platform. After 2 7EM SOMs power-up sequence done on the same platform, you might need the table 2.13.2 and 2.13.3 to figure out a solution of a PS/PL reset sequence to bring 2 7EM SOMs configured properly.

    I think it is not power up sequence topic but reset sequence topic.

    Thanks Flyingbean. I will check out the sections you posted here. Could be something useful there. As far as delays go, I really just need to delay the configuration of the second FPGA for an arbitrary length of time, probably 30 seconds or so, which I plan to do with an external microcontroller.
