I/O Resources

Overview
~~~~~~~~
The *High-Density* (HD) FPGA IP has 144 I/O pins as shown in :numref:`fig_fpga_io_switch`.
Among the 144 I/Os,
- **30 external I/Os** are accessible through the Caravel SoC's *General-Purpose I/Os* (GPIOs).
- **114 internal I/Os** are accessible through the Caravel SOC's logic analyzer and wishbone interfaces, which are controlled by the RISC-V processor. See :ref:`io_resoure_debug` and :ref:`io_resource_accelerator` for details.
.. note:: The connectivity of the 114 internal I/Os can be switched through a GPIO of Caravel SoC. As a result, the FPGA can operate in different modes.

.. _io_resource_accelerator:
Accelerator Mode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the Wishbone interface is enabled, the FPGA can operate as an accelerator for the RISC-V processor.
:numref:`fig_fpga_io_map_wishbone_mode` illustrates the detailed I/O arrangement for the FPGA, where the wishbone bus signals are connected to fixed FPGA I/O locations.
.. note:: Not all the 114 internal I/Os are used by the Wishbone interface. Especially, the I/O[122:131] are not connected.
.. warning:: The FPGA does not contain a Wishbone slave IP. Users have to implement a soft Wishbone slave when use the FPGA as an accelerator.

.. _io_resource_debug:
Debug Mode
~~~~~~~~~~
When the logic analyzer interface is enabled, the FPGA can operate in debug mode, whose internal signals can be readback through the registers of the RISC-V processor.
:numref:`fig_fpga_io_map_logic_analyzer_mode` illustrates the detailed I/O arrangement for the FPGA, where the logic analyzer signals are connected to fixed FPGA I/O locations.
.. note:: The logic analyzer is 128-bit, while 114 bits can drive or be driven by the FPGA I/O. The other 14 bits are connected to internal spots of the FPGA fabric, monitoring critical signal activities of the FPGA in debugging purpose.
