The CW308 UFO Board is a handy main-board for attacking all sorts of embedded targets. Released in 2016, it forms the basis for most of our upcoming target boards. It can be used stand-alone (with an oscilloscope) or with the ChipWhisperer-Capture hardware.

Overview
Victim Board Connectors
The "victim board" fits into three 20-pin female headers. They provide both electrical and mechanical connections for the board. There is optional mounting holes which can be used if additional mechanical support is required (especially if you need a locked-down victim for use with an EM probe).
The following shows the dimensions of the main connector:
Note the middle mounting hole is slightly offset to one direction! This was done to keep the mounting hole on a 100-mil grid spacing.

Removing / Replacing Victim Boards
The target board is removed and replaced using the removal tool. This helps avoid bending pins:
The following shows the removal process:
Adding a board involves carefully aligning the board and pushing down:
The alignment should be carefully checked if resistance is found. You may need to adjust how the board is aligned, as you should be able to press down with minimal force.
The CW308 should be turned off when swapping victim boards.
I/O Connections
There are two main I/O connection points: the pin headers which duplicate the target board connections, and the 20-pin ChipWhisperer header.
The ChipWhisperer header pins (most of the pins on header J5) have diode protection to set a maximum voltage level. The maximum voltage is set by the voltage present on the middle pin of J4.
VREF Level Setting
The on-board 'VREF' network sets the reference voltage to allow usage with multiple I/O levels. Note there are no voltage translators on-board, instead you can use the [CW506 Advanced Breakout Board] to provide voltage translation. One of the pins on the 20-pin connector outputs the reference voltage (VREF), so the CW506 knows what voltage level to translate I/O signals to.
The on-board crystal oscillator is powered from the VREF network, ensuring the on-board oscillator is at an appropriate voltage reference.
The I/O pins connected to the 20-pin header have diode clamping, with the maximum level set by the VREF network. You must ensure jumper J4 sets a correct reference level. If using any of the official victim boards this is done by setting J4 to receive it's reference level from "J5-VREF" pin.
20-Pin Pinout
The pinout is as follows:
| Number | Name | Dir | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | +5V | I | +5V from ChipWhisperer-Capture. |
| 2 | GND | I | System GND. |
| 3 | +3.3V | I | +3.3V from ChipWhisperer-Capture. |
| 4 | HS1 | O | High Speed output (normally clock in to ChipWhisperer-Capture). |
| 5 | nRST | I/O | Target RESET Pin (AVR Programmer). |
| 6 | HS2 | I | High Speed input (normally clock or glitch out from ChipWhisperer-Capture). |
| 7 | MISO | I/O | SPI input: MISO (for SPI + AVR Programmer). |
| 8 | VTarget | O | Set I/O voltage reference level. |
| 9 | MOSI | I/O | SPI output: MOSI (for SPI + AVR Programmer). |
| 10 | TARG1 | I/O | TargetIO Pin 1 - Usually UART TX or RX. |
| 11 | SCK | I/O | SPI output: SCK (for SPI + AVR Programmer). |
| 12 | GPIO2 | I/O | TargetIO Pin 2 - Usually UART RX or TX. |
| 13 | PROG-PDIC | I/O | PDI Programming Clock (XMEGA Programmer), or CS pin (SPI). |
| 14 | GPIO3 | I/O | TargetIO Pin 3 - Extra I/O. |
| 15 | PROG-PDID | I/O | PDI Programming Data (XMEGA Programmer). |
| 16 | GPIO4 | I/O | TargetIO Pin 4 - Usually trigger output. |
| 17 | GND | O | |
| 18 | +3.3V | O | +3.3V from ChipWhisperer-Capture. |
| 19 | GND | O | |
| 20 | +5V | O | +5V from ChipWhisperer-Capture. |
Clock Network
Crystal Driver
The CW308 contains a crystal oscillator driver. This allows you to use a standard crystal to drive either the victim board or the connected ChipWhisperer. This also allows the use of the CW308 stand-alone, as it's possible to generate almost any frequency by simply putting an appropriate crystal into the socket.
Clock Selection
The clock routing is selected using jumper J3. This allows the following use cases:
- Routing crystal oscillator (X1) to victim CLKIN.
- Routing crystal oscillator (X1) to ChipWhisperer HS-IN, then routing HS-OUT to victim CLKIN (for glitch insertion).
- Routing CLKFB from victim to ChipWhisperer HS-IN.
- Routing ChipWhisperer HS-OUT to victim CLKIN.
Power Distribution
The following shows the routing of power to the victim board:
The following summarizes the switch information:
| Switch | Function | Location | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| S1 | Switch 5.0V from DC-Power Jack On/Off | Lower Left | Selects if DC 5.0V from DC-Jack is "always on", or gets gated by 3.3V source from 20-pin connector ('auto'). If 'auto' mode selected and no 20-pin cable connected, this is equivalent to turning the main supply to the board on/off. Thus when using the board stand-alone S1 acts as a power switch for the board. |
| S3 | Choose 5.0V source to connect to victim board. | Can be used to turn on/off 5.0V to victim board. | |
| S3-S7 | Selected fixed LDO input source. | Can be used to turn on/off certain LDOs. | |
| S8 | Select adjustable LDO input source. | Select 5.0V or 3.3V input (3.3V comes from ChipWhisperer). | |
| S2 | Choose 3.3V source to connect to victim board. | Select 3.3V from 20-pin ChipWhisperer cable, or local LDO. |
External Power Sources
There are two main sources to supply power to the CW308:
- DC-input power jack (2.1mm barrel jack, center positive, 5.0V)
- ChipWhisperer 20-pin connector (5.0V and 3.3V).
Note you can use the DC-input power jack alongside the ChipWhisperer power supply. The CW308 can switch the DC-power on/off, allowing the ChipWhisperer to still control the target power.
If using the board stand-alone, you can use the 3.3V pin of the CW20 pin to turn on/off the board remotely. This pin can be used as a digital input, which will turn on/off the 5.0V power jack. Be sure to switch all regulators to use the 5.0V DC-Jack in this case to avoid having a load on the 3.3V pin.
On-Board LDOs
There are five LDOs on-board the CW308. While they are mostly rated for 800mA, the board does not have sufficient thermal dissipation to operate at these conditions.
Four of the LDOs have fixed voltage settings: 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V. The fifth LDO is adjustable, and is especially useful if you need to either (a) overcome the voltage drop of a shunt, or (b) feed a power supply into a device to turn off an internal regulator.
Adjustable Voltage Example
Programmer Connections
There are several headers that can be used as programming headers for the victim board. These are J10, J12, an J15. They are routed to pins 10 to 20 (H1 to H10) on the victim board connector J9. These connectors function is defined by the specific victim board mounted.
In addition there is a 20-pin JTAG header. This uses the standard JTAG ARM pinout.
Jumper Summary
J3: Clock selection.
Selects clock routing on the board.
J4: VREF selection.
Selects levels for the diode clamps, selects voltage set on ChipWhisperer 20-pin connector VREF pin, selects I/O level for crystal oscillator.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| X | X | VREF Network set by VREF Pin from Victim Board (DEFAULT) | |
| X | X | VREF Network set to 3.3V from ChipWhisperer 20-pin header. If using board stand-alone this option cannot be used. | |
| VREF voltage can be fed into center pin via a jumper wire. |
J14: Filter input selection.
Selects source of FILT_IN pin. This pin can either come from the victim board (where victim sets own voltage), or the VADJ network (where adjustable regulator is used).
The adjustable regulator is often required when overcoming the voltage drop in the shunt and/or filter.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| X | X | Filter input set by FILT Pin from Victim Board (DEFAULT) | |
| X | X | Filter input set by VADJ. Be sure to adjust voltage before using this. | |
| Filter voltage can be fed into center pin via a jumper wire. |
Usage Example: Stand-Alone
The CW308 can be used stand-alone. This is accomplished by providing an external DC power supply, and using a SMA-BNC to connect the voltage measurement to an oscilloscope.
If using a simple-serial target (such as the XMEGA or AVR), you can connect a USB-Serial device to provide communication.
