EMMC daughter board for Arria 10 GX FPGA Development Kit

[haianhle]

Hi,

I want to prototype my EMMC controller on Arria 10 GX FPGA Development Kit.

Is there any EMMC daughter board which I can connect to my development kit and map to FPGA logic ? (not HPS interface like Stratix 10)

Hello,

Can someone help me on this issue?

Hi Sir

Welcome to INTEL forum. May we know, is this the board that you refer to? https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/fpga/development-kits/arria/10-gx-signal-integrity.html

Hi,

My board is https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/fpga/development-kits/arria/10-gx.html

I'm looking for HILO EMMC memory daughter  board which I can connect to FPGA IOs not HPS IOs. Please help to check the solution I can use.

Hi

Upon checking with teammate. Regrettably, the HiLo is use for ddr/qdr memory only. EMMC with HiLo connector is not available as the EMMC is not highspeed device support.

Hi,

Is there any other connector type which I can use to connect EMMC daughter board to A10 GX kit?

Basically, I want to implement the EMMC controller IP on FPGA so I can not use the EMMC connection to HPS.

Hi,

If I try to create the new EMMC daughter card which have HILO or FMC connector. Is there any issue with FPGA IOs for EMMC device connection? Such as HILO IOs is 1.5V, FMC IOs is LVDS type ...

Hi

I’m not familiar with EMMC daughter card connector. Let me check with teammate on this. We will get back with an update.

Hello,

I just realized, you are using Arria 10 GX, and not Arria 10 SoC. eMMC flash is only supported by Arria 10 SoC devices. link : https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/programmable/support-resources/devices/supported-flash-devices-for-arria-10-soc.html

Please check the supported flash device by A10 GX here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683698/21-1-19-1-0/supported-flash-memory-devices.html

regards,

Hi Farabi,

I knew eMMC was supported by Arria 10 SoC HPS part. What I'm trying here is demo the EMMC controller in FPGA part not using HPS part so it is possible with Arria 10GX board. I want to check what type of EMMC daughter board connector can I use to design the custom daughter board.
