T4240 QDS Quick Start Guide

The QorIQ T4240 development system (T4240

QDS-16GPA) is a flexible system that supports the

24-virtual core T4240 processor. The T4240 QDS main

board is mounted in a 4U rack-mounted chassis and the main

PCB is a custom form factor.

An additional layer of flexibility for system clocking, power

distribution, and I/O multiplexing is built into the T4240

QDS. Eight expansion slots are provided for adding standard

PCIe cards or Freescale specialized SerDes riser cards (XFI

or XAUI networking). The T4240 QDS comes with a

Linux® board support package (BSP) that provides a

comprehensive starting point for Linux development efforts.

The T4240 QDS is available in two form factors:

• T4240 QDS board installed in a chassis

• T4240 QDS board as a stand-alone system

When you finish reading this document, you should be

familiar with:

• T4240 QDS hardware kit contents

• Board configuration settings

• How to get started and boot the board

Introduction

1 Introduction

This T4240 QDS Quick Start Guide explains T4240 QDS board settings and physical connections needed

to boot the board.

The document provides steps for configuring switches, connectors, jumpers, push buttons, and LEDs and

connecting peripheral devices.

The T4240 QDS works with an integrated development environment (IDE), such as Freescale

CodeWarrior. However, instructions for working with the IDE are beyond the scope of this document.

4 Connections and Switch Settings

This section explains T4240 QDS connections and switch settings.

4.1 Connection Settings

In order to operate T4240 QDS and boot U-boat, you need to connect different cables to the board. Some

of the cable connections are required, however, some of the connections are optional.

1. Fan cable – Required: Ensure the 3-wire cable from the main fan is connected to the 3-pin Prod

Fan header at J15.

This fan cable should already be installed in the received shipment, however ensure that this

connection is always made before powering on the system.

2. DDR Dims – Required: Ensure that at least three DDR Dims are installed, one for each of the

three DDR controllers, as shown in Figure 4. Otherwise, U-boat will not boot. Dims should be in

the following slots:

— J23 - D2_DIMM #1

— J22 - D1_DIMM #1

— J200 - D3_DIMM #1

3. Power Supply – Required: For power supply setup and connections:

a) Gather the following items from the packaging:

– Power Supply, ATX, 600W w/ AC power cord, as shown in Figure 5.

NOTE

If you are using an older 750W Power supply - typically black in color - then

refer to Section 7, “Connecting a 750W Power Supply” for information

about how to make connections.

b) Attach AC cable to power supply. Note the location of the main power supply ON/OFF switch

near the AC plug.

c) The output cabling from the power supply consists of many cables, but only three of them are

attached to the T4240 QDS board. Separate the three output power cables from the rest of the

cabling bundle, as shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7. Output Power Cables to be Separated from Cabling Bundle

d) Attach the 12V power adapter cable to the 6-pin P11 connector of the power supply, as shown

in Figure 8.

Figure 8. 12V Power Adapter Cable Attached to the 6-pin P11 Connector

Be careful to attach the 6-pin end of the adapter cable to the 6-pin portion of the P11 power

supply connector. Also, ensure that the latching mechanism of the P11 connector aligns with

the latching tab of the 6-pin adapter cable connector, as shown in Figure 9.

Figure 9. Latch of VGA1 Connector Aligned With Latching Tab of Adapter Connector

e) To attach the power supply cables to the T4240 QDS system:

— Attach the two-part P2 power supply connector to the EPS_BULK_12V header (J27) of the

T4240 QDS board. Be careful that connector latches align with the latching tab of the mating

connector of the board.

— Attach the 2x4 end of the 12V adapter cable to the EPS_12V header (J225) of the T4240 QDS

board. Be careful that connector latch aligns with the latching tab of the mating connector of

the board.

— The main supply connector P1 has two parts; a 2x2 section and a 2x10 section. Attach the 2x2

section of the main power supply connector to the right-most side of the ATX24 connector

(J30), and then attach the 2x10 section of the main power supply connector to the left-most side

of the ATX24 connector (J30). Be careful that connector latch aligns with the latching tab of

the mating connector of the board. Figure 10 and Figure 11 show these power connections

before and after proper insertion in the board.

4. Serial Cable – Required: Attach serial cable to UART1_BOTTOM Port of T4240_QDS as

shown in Figure 13. Attach other end of cable to serial port of PC. This connection provides

visibility of boot activity to the COM port window of the PC. Configure the serial port of the host

PC with the settings shown in Figure 12.

Figure 12. Serial Port Configuration Settings

5. Ethernet Cable – Optional: Figure 13 shows Ethernet cable connection to the ENET TOP

connector. This ENET port is defined as FM1@DTSEC5. This connection is not required to boot

the system. However, it is useful in loading the boot images from an external boot image source.

Figure 13. Ethernet and Serial Connections.

6. JTAG / COP TAP – Optional: For additional development purposes, a TAP pod (such as

CodeWarrior USB TAP) can be attached to the COP/JTAG_TAP header at the location J216 on

the board. CCS software application is installed on the PC to support this system control interface.

The red cable edge should be oriented toward the left side of the connector where pin 1 is located,

as shown in Figure 14.

7. PROMJET Adapter – Optional: A PROMJET (USB) adapter can also be attached at the

PROMJET header (U112) for the purposes of downloading boot images. Note orientation of the

PROMJET pod so that pin 1 is aligned properly as shown in Figure 14.
