For conguraon details, see the UltraScale Architecture Conguraon User Guide (UG570). The
detailed FPGA and Flash pin connecons for the feature described in this secon are
documented in the Alveo U50 accelerator card XDC le, referenced in Appendix A: Xilinx Design
Constraints (XDC) File.
Maintenance Connector Interface
The Alveo U50 accelerator card provides access to the FPGA through the JTAG interface using a
debug and maintenance board (DMB) connected to the 30-pin maintenance connector. The
connector pinout supports three UART debug interfaces: PMBus, FPGA JTAG, and satellite
controller JTAG. The following gure shows the maintenance connector interface. For more
informaon, see Alveo Programming Cable User Guide (UG1377).

PCI Express Endpoint
The Alveo U50 accelerator card implements a 16-lane PCI Express edge connector that performs
data transfers at the rate of 2.5 giga-transfers per second (GT/s) for Gen1, 5.0 GT/s for Gen2, 8.0
GT/s for Gen3 applicaons, and 16.0 GT/s for Gen4 applicaons.
