sliceCARDs and Slots

sliceKIT sliceCARDs are used to implement peripheral circuitry as part of the sliceKIT platform.

Existing sliceCARDs may connect to some or all of the Star, Triangle, Square and Circle slots. Their compatibility with each slot is indicated by the range of symbols printed on the sliceCARD silkscreen. A Card having all four symbols is compatible with all slots, a subset of symbols indicates that some slots don’t have sufficient I/O or suitable I/O resources to work with that Card.

Star and Square sliceCARDs have 20 xCORE Processor I/Os including four 1-bit ports.

Triangle and Circle sliceCARDs have 24 xCORE Processor I/Os including twelve 1-bit ports.

A Double sliceCARD is a board with two sliceCARD finger connectors and connects to all of the I/O on one Tile (e.g. to Star + Triangle or to Circle + Square).

Note that sliceCARDs compatible with a given slot may still have restrictions when used in that slot (typically less common or popular functionality may be disabled), so be sure to check the sliceCARD documents for details).
