Titanium Ti60 F225 Development Kit User Guide
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Titanium Ti60 F225 Development Kit (part number:
Ti60F225-DK), which allows you to explore the features of the Ti60 FPGA.
Whether you are capturing video, aggregating sensor data, or designing for mobile or IoT
applications, the Titanium Ti60 F225 Development Kit provides everything you need to get
started quickly. Capture video with the included Raspberry Pi camera module, process it in
the Ti60 FPGA, and then stream the result to the provided mini-DSI display. The camera
and DSI converter daughter cards support up to 2 cameras or displays, respectively. The kit
also includes an I/O expansion daughter card so you can connect to other components more
easily.
Warning: The board can be damaged without proper anti-static handling.

Titanium Ti60 F225 Development Kit User Guide
Download the Efinity® Software
To develop your own designs for the Ti60 device on the board, you must install the Efinity®
software. You can obtain the software from the Efinix Support Center under Efinity
Software (www.efinixinc.com/support/).
The Efinity® software includes tools to program the device on the board. Refer to the
Efinity® Software User Guide for information about how to program the device.
Learn more: Efinity® documentation is installed with the software (see Help > Documentation) and is also
available in the Support Center under Documentation (www.efinixinc.com/support/).
Install the USB Driver (Linux)
The following instructions explain how to install a USB driver for Linux operating systems.
1. Disconnect your board from your computer.
2. In a terminal, use these commands:
> sudo <installation directory>/bin/install_usb_driver.sh
> sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
Note: If your board was connected to your computer before you executed these
commands, you need to disconnect and re-connect it.
Install USB Drivers (Windows)
The Titanium Ti60 F225 Development Board development board has an FTDI FT4232H
chip to communicate with the USB port. This chip has separate channels that the board uses
for the JTAG and UART interfaces. You need to install a driver for each interface, and then
each interface appears as a unique FTDI device.
Note: If you install a composite driver, all of the interfaces appear as a composite device and you cannot
use them separately (which means you cannot use all of the features of the board).
Driver Options
The Zadig software includes a variety of drivers. When programming Efinix FPGAs, use one
of these drivers:
•libusb-win32 (version)—This driver is more stable for unplug/plug events. This driver
does not work when debugging with OpenOCD.
•libusbK (version)—Use this driver if you plan to use OpenOCD to debug any Efinix
RISC-V SoC.
Warning: Do not choose the WinUSB driver.

Titanium Ti60 F225 Development Kit User Guide
Install Drivers
To install the interface drivers in Windows:
1. Connect the FTDI USB (J12) on the board to your computer with a USB type-C cable.
2. Download the Zadig software from zadig.akeo.ie. (You do not need to install it; simply
run the downloaded executable.)
3. Run the Zadig software.
Note: To ensure that the USB driver is persistent across user sessions, run the
Zadig software as administrator.
4. Choose Options > List All Devices.
5. Repeat the following steps for each interface. The interface names end with (Interface N),
where N is the channel number.
•Select libusb-win32 or libusbK in the Driver drop-down list. (Do not choose
WinUSB.)
•Click Replace Driver.
6. Close the Zadig software.
Important: Install drivers for interfaces 0 and 1 only. You do not need to install drivers for interfaces 2
and 3 because when you connect the Titanium Ti60 F225 Development Board to your computer, Windows
automatically installs a driver for them.

Overview
The board features the Efinix Ti60 programmable device in a 225-ball FBGA package, which
is fabricated using Efinix Quantum™ technology. The Quantum™-accelerated programmable
logic and routing fabric is wrapped with an I/O interface in a small footprint package. Ti60
devices also include embedded memory blocks and DSP blocks. You create designs for the
Ti60 device in the Efinity® software, and then download the resulting configuration bitstream
to the board using the USB connection.

Titanium Ti60 F225 Development Kit User Guide
The Titanium Ti60 F225 Development Board provides three multi-purpose 0.8 mm high-
speed ground plane sockets. These sockets can be used for GPIO, MIPI CSI-2 TX/RX, and
LVDS TX/RX. The board includes two USB type-C ports, one for USB 3.0 interface and the
other for the FTDI interface.
The FTDI FT4232H module has four channels to support the following interfaces:
•SPI—FTDI interface 0
•FPGA JTAG—FTDI interface 1
•FPGA UART—FTDI interface 2
•USB 3.0 chip UART—FTDI interface 3
The FTDI module receives the Ti60 configuration bitstream from a USB host and writes to
the Ti60 FPGA in SPI passive configuration. You can write a configuration bitstream to the
on-board SPI NOR flash memory through JTAG with the JTAG SPI Flash Loader Core.
Additionally, it supports a UART interface to the Ti60 and the USB 3.0 chip.
The SPI NOR flash memory stores the configuration bitstream. The Ti60 device accesses this
configuration bitstream when it is in active configuration mode (default).
Learn more: Refer to the Titanium Ti60 F225 Development Board Schematics and BOM for more
information about the components used in the Titanium Ti60 F225 Development Board.
Power On
To turn on the development board, turn on switch SW4. The 12 V DC power is input to
the on-board regulators to generate the required 3.3 V, 2.5 V, 1.8 V, 1.5 V, and 1.2 V for
components on the board. When these voltages are up and stable, the power-good LED, D22
illuminates, giving you a visual confirmation of the status.
Reset
The Ti60F225C4 device is typically brought out of reset with the CRESET signal. Upon
power up, the Ti60F225C4 device is held in reset until CRESET toggles high-low-high.
Note: You can manually assert the high-low-high transition with pushbutton switch SW3.
CRESET has a pull-up resistor. When you press SW3, the board drives CRESET low; when
you release SW3, the board drives CRESET high. Thus, a single press of SW3 provides the
required high-low-high transition.
After toggling CRESET, the Ti60F225C4 device goes into configuration mode and reads
the device configuration bitstream from the flash memory. When configuration completes
successfully, the device drives the CDONE signal high. CDONE is connected to a green LED
(D15), which turns on when the Ti60F225C4 device enters user mode.
