General Information RDK Installation
1.1 Features
The PCI 9030RDK-LITE Rapid
Development Kit (RDK) is a PCI Bus Target
Prototyping Kit, which contains a four-layer,
assembled PC board with the dimensions
of 12.28” L x 5.20” W and the following
features:
•PLX PCI 9030 SMARTarget™
I/O Accelerator (176-pin PQFP)
•Socketed serial EEPROM for
configuring PCI 9030
•Supports both multiplexed and non-
multiplexed bus modes
•Thirty-three (33) surface mount
prototyping footprints and a 0.05” pitch
BGA landscape, which can be used
with different FPGAs, CPLDs,
SDRAMs, SRAMs, data transceivers
and general purpose logic devices
•Socketed 32-pin PLCC footprint for
flash boot ROM
•On-board, up to 32-bit wide
synchronous dual-port SRAM and a
small 20-pin programmable GAL, which
demonstrates PCI 9030 continuous
burst read/write features, allowing the
user to plug the board into a PCI
system and be operational immediately
•Four (4) green user-defined
status/debug LEDs and one (1) red
power on LED
•Built-in DB9 connector, RS232
transceiver, and UART for a serial port
to the Local bus
•A push button switch and a reset
generator to provide reset signals to
any device on the board.
•PLL and socketed oscillator for Local
bus clock provide up to 60MHz clock
•5V to 3.3V voltage regulator to enable
card to plug into 5V only PCI slot
•Six logic analyzer headers with
standard HP footprint to allow easy
probing of Local bus signals
•PLX Multiplexed bus mode Option
Module (POM) connector, which
provides connection to other PLX
POMs or devices
•A 25x25, 0.1-inch grid through-hole
area allows easy prototyping with
through-hole components
•ISA bus connector footprint
1.2 RDK Installation
1. Turn off the computer and open the
computer case.
2. Wear user-suitable grounding
straps.
3. Plug the PCI 9030RDK-LITE board
into one of the PCI slots.
4. Close the computer case and turn
on the computer.
