Overview
This demo is a Webserver which utilizes SmartFusion2 SoC ARM Cortex-M3, Ethernet, USB / COM-port, Real Time Clock and the on-board LEDs.
The demo is offered in two variants, one which is stored into the embedded non-volatile memory (eNVM) and the seconde one which stored to the external DDR3/L SDRAM memory and therefore volatile.

Download
The Trenz Electronic Reference Designs and Demos are usable with the specified Libero / SoftConsole version. Usage of a different Microsemi / Libero / SoftConsole software versions is not recommended.
Reference Designs / Demos are available via the following link:
The download is a ZIP compressed archive. Extract the archive before usage.
Design Flow
The Demo Webserver design is available as a prebuild zip archive, which contains a Libero hardware project folder, a SoftConsole Workspace with the 2 variants of the demo and the board configuration file "microsemi-smartfusion2-smartberry-ddr.cfg". It was created and tested in windows environment.
Board configuration file
Copy the board configuration file "microsemi-smartfusion2-smartberry-ddr.cfg" along the following default installation path inside you Microsemi / SoftConsole installation into the folder board:
C:\Microsemi\SoftConsole_v6.2\openocd\share\openocd\scripts\board\
Launch
Running this demonstration requires a USB and a Ethernet connection to the module. Programming the demo into the module is a three fold process, programming the FPGA Design, establishing a COM-port terminal connection to the module and programming the web server program code into the modules FPGA's embedded flash or it's external DDR memory.
Connecting
Connect the modules micro USB connector to your host pc.
Connect the boards Ethernet port to either your demo host computer, via it's second Ethernet port or a USB to Ethernet bridge, or to a free router port inside your local network. The demo is configured to establish a network connection via the DHCP protocol, therefore, if a a free router port is used, no further port setup is required.
If a "direct connection" via bridge or host pc port is used, the ports IP of pc and module must match, more about this is explained further down in this chapter.
Driver check
When the module is connected via USB cable to your demo host computer, in the Windows Device Manager appear the following tree board driver related devices:
- FlashPro5 Port (ComX)
- USB FP5 Serial Converter A
- USB FP5 Serial Converter B
The Device Manager is accessible via "Right mouse click context menu" from the Windows Start Menu Button.
Programming Hardware design
Open Libero 12.4, in the to left corner, open the Webserver Demo hardware project inside the extracted ZIP download via "Project > Open Project" and point the file dialogue to the demo archives hardware project:
Disk:\Path-to-the-Demo_archive\Smartberry_Webserver_Libero-12.4\
double left mouse click onto the project file "Smartberry_Webserver.prjx" to open it.
The board is automatically selected and setup to be flashed by Libero.
In the upper left section of Libero, select the tab "Design Flow" (picture above - green rectangle) and flash it to the board via "Program Design > and double left mouse click onto Run PROGRAM Action" (picture above - row with blue background).
Warnings should not affect the Webserver Demo.
The hardware design is volatile and therefore lost when powering down the board.
UART connection
Before flashing the Webserver Demo server application to the module, open a comport terminal to the boards comport, so that it's messages about the used IP Address and executed Demo-Variant can be captured.
Programming Software project
Open SoftConsole 6.2 and press "Browse..." to point the "Workspace: " to the folder "Softconsole-6.2-Workspace" inside the demo folder.
Disk:\Path-to-the-Demo_archive\Softconsole-6.2-Workspace\
Subsequently the program opens and shows the software project's who are contained inside the workspace to the left, under "Project Explorer".
The demo is offered in two variants:
- Smartberry_Webserver_6.2 - Application code is stored to the FPGA's embedded non-volatile memory (eNVM)
- Smartberry_Webserver_DDR_6.2 - Application code is stored to the FPGA's external volatile memory (DDR3/L SDRAM) and lost during power down
Before flashing the demo, open a comport terminal to the boards comport, so that its messages about the used IP Address and executed Demo-Variant can be captured.
To simply run the demo press the triangle right to the button marked with a "R" in the picture above and select a variant of the demo.
MOVE up to beginning!!!!!:------------------------
Pressing the triangle next to the button marked with "D" let you select which variant to be executed in debug mode.
Debug controls - Resume - Pause - Stop
Switch between Debug and Run perspective (upper right corner program window)
Demo Variants
The two demo projects "Smartberry_Webserver_6.2" and "Smartberry_Webserver_DDR_6.2" are identical variants of the demo, they only differ in their memory location. The first one is stored in embedded non volatile memory (eNVM) and the later is stored volatile in the external DDR ram and therefore lost during power down.
Static IP configuration
To disengaging the DHCP mode one has to setup up an IP and Gateway Address in the code unit "main.c" line 274. Alternativly, the demo hosts IP Address can be changed.
Furthermore the corresponding compiler flag needs to be deleted in the project setting. To do so, in the "Project Explorer" tab, right mouse click onto the project and select Properties in the appearing menu.
In the left section of the properties window select "C/C++ Build > Settings" in the right section select the tab "Tool Settings > GNU ARM Cross C Compiler > Preprocessor" under "Defined symbols (-D)" delete the compiler flag "NET_USE_DHCP" and press "Apply". Confirm the following dialogue and press "Cancel".
Lastly, the project needs to be recompiled. In the top menu of the SoftConsole select "Project > Build ALL / Build Project".
Warnings should not affect the demo. can be ignored.
Pictures of the Webserver pages
Open a new tab in a web browser and enter the IP Address from the comport terminal. The start page, picture below, should appear immediately.
