LEDs

LEDs 0-3 have a fixed role in BoxLambda:

LED # Name Description
0 PLL locked Lights up blue when the system clock PLL is locked.
1 Init Done Lights up blue when SDRAM initialization has been completed.
2 Init Error Lights up red when the SDRAM Memory Controller detects an error.
3 SD Card Detect Lights up green when an SD card is detected in the SD PMOD card slot.

LEDs 4-7 are assigned to the GPIO core. See the GPIO component page.

Switches

  • If switches 0-3 are all in the off position, the bootloader will spin after loading the application image, allowing a debugger to connect.

  • If switches 0-3 are all in the on position, test applications may treat that as an indication that the application is running in a Verilator simulation environment.
