Note: In JTAG mode, the PROC_RST pin can be used to trigger warm reset of the HPS block when
prompted via the ARM DS-5 debugger. PROC_RST is an active low signal and not an open collector
pin. As such, it is not recommended to connect PROC_RST to HPS_nRST directly. You should instead
connect this pin to a secondary device such as the MAX V CPLD, and use the device to manage the
reset network for HPS.
Circuit Board Header Connection
The 10-pin male header, which connects to the download cable's 10-pin female plug, has two rows of five
pins. The pins are connected to the device’s programming or configuration pins.
Caution:
If the header connection on the circuit board is a male receptacle, it must have a key notch.
Without a key notch, the 10-pin female plug will not connect. The following figure shows a
typical 10-pin male header with a key notch.
