13 GR-LEON4-ITX Development Board
User Manual
2.4  PCI Slots
The LEON4 ASIC device incorporates a GRPCI Fast 32-bit PCI bridge core which functions 
as the PCI Host Controller on the LEON4-ITX Board.
To allow this board to function as a PCI motherboard, this board includes two 32 bits, 33MHz 
PCI motherboard slot connectors, PCI-J1 and PCI-J2.
Note that the PCI slots are intended for cards which are compatible with 3.3V PCI signalling 
voltage levels.
2.5  Ethernet Interface
The  LEON4  ASIC  device   incorporates   two   Ethernet   controllers   with   support   for   RMII 
interface,   and   the GR-LEON4-ITX Development   Board   has   two  National  Semiconductor 
DP83848  10/100Mbit/s   Ethernet PHY transceivers.   These are   connected  to a dual  RJ45 
connector are on board.
For more information on the registers and functionality of the Ethernet MAC+PHY device 
please refer to the data sheet for the DP83848 device.
The RMII Ethernet PHY's are provided with a 50 MHz clock derived from the oscillator X1 on 
the board.
2.6  USB Host
The LEON4 ASIC device includes two USB 2.0 Host interfaces, and these are connected to 
two   on-board   ISP1504   USB   PHY   devices   using   a  standardised  8   bit   ULPI   interface, 
operating at 60MHz.The ULPI interface configuration for the host interfaces is represented in 
Figure 2-6.
