What is the purpose of the HPS SoC out1_n and out2_n signals?

Environment

  • Quartus® II Subscription Edition
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    When routing the output of the HPS UART to the FPGA, extra signals (out1_n and out2_n) are generated.  Due to a problem, the functionality of out1_n and out2_n is not described in the device handbook

    Resolution

    These two signals, out1_n, and out2_n, are user-designated outputs and can be set to an active low by programming the OUT1 or OUT2 bit of the MODEM Control Register to a high level.  A Master Reset operation sets this signal to its inactive (high) state.

    This information is added starting with release 15.1 of the device handbook.
