- WE 07:49 PM MitySOM-QC6490 PCB Development: RE: Power Consumption
- Hayden,
We don't currently have a minimum quiescent operating power for the SOM. Current consumption on the SOM alone is heavily influenced by the software running on the processor, clock states, and background processes all contribut... - Hello,
I am currently doing a power analysis of the MitySOM-QC6490 (80-001777RI-2). We are interested in operating the QC6490 SOM in the lowest possible power setting to preserve battery life,
while still actively processing data in ... - MF 07:01 PM MitySOM-A5 FPGA Development: RE: Ethernet Interface for MitySOM-A5E
- Hi Max,
If you are trying to use the SGMII Ethernet interface that goes to J19 on the board then this will not work due to limitations with Engineering Silicon.
In order to hook this up you need to enable GMII for FPGA in the HPS ... - Hello Sir/Madame,
I'm trying to add GbE IF to MitySOM-A5E (version: A5ED-B64-144-SRC-X)
In the Dev. Kit document this is described in p.16.
The Interface SGMII connects to Bank-2A

- Hi Maxim,
Happy to help!
It looks like this is a case of the JIC and RBF files not matching.
In general, the JIC and RBF need to be both created from a project that has the same HPS I/O and clock settings. Altera documents this ... - MK 05:21 PM MitySOM-A5 Software Development: RE: make_sd.sh doesn't take command line parameters

Let me please thank you for your time and support!!! We getting closer, but still have some issues...
We've got some progress.
In order to find a problem, we've replaced one-by-one the files in a script and found that wh... - ZM 04:15 PM MitySOM-A5 Software Development: RE: make_sd.sh doesn't take command line parameters

In your case, you just need to put the RBF into it per the instructions in this wiki section... - MK 03:44 PM MitySOM-A5 Software Development: RE: make_sd.sh doesn't take command line parameters

I've uploaded mitysom-a5e-ref-dma.tar.gz (1.29G) - I've compressed the whole folder.
We didn't changed the design and scripts.
Thanks!!! - ZM 06:11 PM MitySOM-A5 Software Development: RE: make_sd.sh doesn't take command line parameters

The build seems to have partially worked since it was able to boot into U-Boot proper after the SPL, but past that it seems unable to load anything from the SD card for some reason.
Would it be possible for you to z... - MK 04:35 PM MitySOM-A5 Software Development: RE: make_sd.sh doesn't take command line parameters

Did the script produce sd_card.img.gz instead? You're giving it flags for both gzip (@-g@) and zip (@-z@), and gzip should be taking precedence.
If so and you didn't want that, you could either run @gunzi... - MK 03:38 PM MitySOM-A5 Software Development: RE: make_sd.sh doesn't take command line parameters

I think you can remove the NFC pins and give it a shot.

- WE 04:19 PM MitySOM-QC6490 PCB Development: RE: 4V on 3V3-SOM!
- Unfortunately this cannot be addressed on the SOM as the SOM will hang if this voltage is dropped lower than 4V.
For future baseboard revisions there will need to be a regulator in between the SOM and the downstream components on this... - NO 04:06 PM MitySOM-QC6490 PCB Development: RE: 4V on 3V3-SOM!
- Thanks Will. The pins are tied directly to a power plane on my prototype boards, so I'll try breaking the connector pins as you suggest.
Will this issue be fixed in later versions of the SOM, or should I plan on adding a 3V3 regulator... - WE 01:07 PM MitySOM-QC6490 PCB Development: RE: 4V on 3V3-SOM!
- Hello Nathan,
The PMICs on the SOM support changing the output voltage of this pin. The idea was to have it at 3.3V but unfortunately the SOM hangs if this voltage is lower than 4V.
As a result we had to re-spin our development boa...
04/11/2026
- Hello,
Why is 3V3-SOM outputting 4V? Is there a way to change this to 3.3V?
I see that the devkit schematic shows it as 4V, but the datasheet and Carrier Board Design Guide (and the name!) show it as 3.3V. Unfortunately I just rece...

- Hi Sean,
The oscillator that is driving the CLKUSR pin is *KC2520Z100.000C15XXK*. Per the datasheet, this is a 30 ppm oscillator.
- Mike - What is the frequency tolerance and stability (in PPM) of the 100 MHz oscillator used to drive the CLKUSR pin on the SOM? I cannot seem to find this information in the SOM datasheet.
For context, my design contains an elastic FIFO us...

We currently have SBC and SOM Dev kit. We were told that they are equivalent from FPGA connections point of view, but I found out that's not completely correct.
