Cardsharp
This electronics assembly can be damaged by ESD. Innovative Integration recommends that all
electronic assemblies and components circuits be handled with appropriate precautions. Failure to observe
proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated
circuits may be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to
meet its published specifications.

Cardsharp
Architecture and Features
The Cardsharp combines dual Arm A9 CPU cores with an HPC FMC IO module and high-speec connectivity peripherals to
create a customizable instrument for a variety of applications.
Embedded CPU cores
The Zynq Z045 SoC is a dual A9 CPU core combined with user extensible FPGA fabric that provides a real-time computing
engine, suitable for high-speed signal processing while consuming minimal footprint and power.
Embedded CPU #0 boots into Linux, which provides sophisticated, mature drivers to high performance connectivity
peripherals such as the 1 GbE ethernet port, QSFP port, eMMC flash memory and USB port. USB storage devices are
supported, to support data logging at rates to 480 Mb/s to each device. Embedded CPU core #1 boots a user-written standalone application to perform real-time I/O via the FMC module. This provides optimal, minimal latency interaction with the
FMC peripherals and resources, without inducing OS or stack latencies of any kind. The best of both worlds: highperformance connectivity via CPU 0, determinicity and speed via CPU 1.
Each A9 CPU core is mapped directly to the FMC module. The CPU bus tightly couples the CPU to the FMC modules and
the SoC DMA engines may be used to accelerate I/O, outperforming Innovative's previous generation SBC systems by 2 to 4
times. Bidirectional data transfer rates between logic memory and FMC resources occur at full memory bus rates: 6000
MB/s.
The Cardsharp provides familiar core interfaces for expansion and connectivity: Gigabit Ethernet, USB ports, and eMMC
disk, as well as numerous connectivity interfaces such as RS232 and SPI.
FMC IO Site
A single HPC FMC IO module site enables the Cardsharp to be configured with a wide variety of IO personalities. The
FMC site is for FPGA mezzanine cards conforming to VITA 57.1 standard, which are 69 x 75 mm modules. The module site
is designed to support conduction cooling, but also
XMC Modules for IO
supports use of a cooling fan mounted directly
under the module, to support convection-cooled
- Flexible, modular IO
installations at lower cost.
- Industry-standard VITA 57
- Up to 6000 MB/s transfer rates
Innovative offers FMC IO offering a range of
analog performance mated to the high performance
- Industry-standard, multi-vendor
FPGA computing cores within the Zynq SoC.
Innovative's Velocia architecture data packet system allows these modules to stream data continuously to system memory at
rates limited only by the memory subsystem – making the Cardsharp well suited for data logging and playback functions.
Data may be streamed to a 10 GbE ethernet device at 1000 MB/s. When configured with a two USB RAID0 array, sustained
storage to local USB storage devices at 500Mb/s are achievable.
Special features supporting all Innovative FMC module are provided in the Cardsharp for simultaneously sampling,
triggering and controls. System triggers and matched clocks from an externally-supplied clock or reference provide
simultaneously sampling for the two modules. The FMC module site has 66 differential connections plus eight 12.5 Gbps
SERDES links to the onboard FPGA, providing ample bandwidth for even the fastest FMC modules.
Triggering and Sample Clocks
The Cardsharp has unique clocking and triggering features for the FMC module. The site receives two triggers from the
application FPGA and two clock inputs through its connector. Innovative modules can use these to support simultaneous

Cardsharp
sampling and unique trigger scenarios using the application FPGA.
Sample clocks for the FMC site can be synchronized using an optional GPS or IEEE 1588 reference or from an external
clock input. FMC module PLLs can use either the external clock input or the disciplined clock as a reference. The disciplined
clock allows multiple, remote instruments to sample simultaneously and act cooperatively. Position and time data is also
available from the GPS when installed.
Remote Operation
Cardsharp can be operated using Ethernet as a remote computer or embedded instrument. For pure embedded operation, the
Cardsharp can operate “headless” without monitor, keyboard or mouse. The system boots from an onboard QSPI and eMMC
FLASH, providing reliable operation even in a rugged environment.
Application FPGA
The Zynq Z7045 provides a large, user-programmable onchip FPGA which allows the Cardsharp to be customized for many
IO functions, such as triggering and control features. This FPGA is memory-mapped peripheral to the Zync SoC CPUs. New
functions can added to the system by adding them to the FPGA design. FPGA logic is provided in the FrameWork Logic
tools, which includes the standard functionality that can be modified or used as an example.
Development using Xilinx USB cable is supported – onboard circuitry drives the JTAG scan path.
Sbc-Uno Host Carrier Compatibility
Cardsharp may optionally be mounted atop the Sbc-Uno XMC carrier, which is an ultra-low power, embedded PC. SBC-Uno
provides dual, 10 GbE ethernet links capable of 2000 MB/s data rates allowing the Cardsharp to stream real-time data at high
speeds through a local network. TCP/IP and UDP packet processing is performed by the Atom CPU on the SBC-Uno,
offloading this time-consuming function from the Cardsharp CPUs. Additionally, SBC-Uno exposes the QSFP port of the
Cardsharp, facilitating communication with additional Cardsharp nodes or other SFPDP devices at rates to 40 Gbps.
Software Tools
Software development tools for the Cardsharp provide comprehensive support application development including device
drivers, peripheral configuration and control, and utilities that allow developers to be productive from the start. Software
classes provide C++ developers a powerful, high-level interface to the system devices that makes system integration and
achieving real-time, high speed data acquisition easier.
Software for data logging and analysis are provided with every Innovative FMC module. Data can be logged to system
memory at full rate or to disk drives at rates supported by the drive and controller. Triggering and sample rate controls are
provided to support data acquisition applications without writing code. Innovative software applets include Binview which
provides data viewing, analysis and import to MATLAB for large data files.
Support for Eclipse C++ is provided. The PetaLinux OS is supported. For more information, the software tools User Guide
and on-line help may be downloaded.
Logic Tools
Customized IO interfaces, triggering and other unique features may be added to the Cardsharp by modifying the FPGA logic.
The FrameWork Logic tools provide support for VHDL/Verilog developments. Application logic can be modified by building
upon the Innovative components for hardware interfaces and system functions. Each design is provided as a Xilinx Vivado
project with VHDL source for top level logic with a modeling test-bench illustrating logic functionality.
FMC Modules
Plug FMC modules into the Cardsharp to build your custom, turnkey embedded instrument. Innovative Integration offers an
array of ultra-performance, CPU FMC modules to create your solution.
