Hardware design considerations
4.5.2 Aurora configuration signals
Correct operation of the Aurora interface requires configuration of a group of system
control pins as demonstrated in the figures below. Care must be taken to ensure that these
pins are maintained at a valid deasserted state under normal operating conditions as most
have asynchronous behavior and spurious assertion will give unpredictable results.
NXP recommends that the Aurora 34 pin duplex connector be designed into the system as
shown in Figure 63 or the 70 pin duplex connector be designed into the system as shown
in Figure 64.
If the Aurora interface will not be used, NXP recommends the legacy COP header be
designed into the system as described in "Termination of unused signals" in the chip
reference manual.
