SE216 PCIe carrier for Polarfire based SoM3 module

SE216 is a PCIe development board for SOM3 modules . It is a simpler version of SE215 carrier and offers X1 Gen2 PCIe interface. It includes JTAG and UART, through a micro USB connector. The card provides Power GOOD and user LEDs for rapid debugging. A High Pin Count (HPC) FMC site is also available.  USB AB, RJ45 and GPIO header pins are also on board.

A power jumper (B4 jumper) can change the Bank 4 IO between 1.8 and 2.5V.

A reset button to reset the FPGA logic is included.

This is a low cost FPGA carrier card for rapid application development and debugging. SOM3 module is based on Polarfire FPGA with high security. A modified version of this carrier can be used with Polarberry SOM.
