Overview
This page describes in detail which software, and their respective versions, was used to generate und use the module demonstration.
Further described is how to flash the Hardware and Software Design contained in the Demo Archieve onto the TEM0001.
A brief usage introduction for each Demo is included.
The Hardware Reference Design uses these Smartfusion 2 SoC, hard Arm® Cortex®-M3 Core, Soft SDRAM Core, Soft SPI Core, COM port, Real Time Clock and the on-board LEDs via a Soft PWM Core.
The Software Designs Hello World, SF2_GNU_SC4_pwm_slow_blink and SF2_GNU_SC4_rtc_time use the Hardware Design features to a different degree. Most notably is Hello World, which utializes all features of the Hardware and is very close to the modules production test.

Content
The Trenz Electronic Reference Designs and Demos are usable with the specified Microsemi Libero / SoftConsole version. Usage of a different Microsemi Libero / SoftConsole software versions is not recommended.Download
The download is a ZIP compressed archive, it needs to be extract before usage.
Recommendation :
The path of the extracted archiev is vital for all IDE's, therefore place the extracted archiev outside the user space, e.g. "c:\Extracted_Archieve" [ Access rights / Path length limit ].
Reference Designs / Demos are available via the following link:

Launch
Executing a Reference / Demo Design on a module requires the powering of it and a JTAG or UART Connection for Programming and Communication. Often the programming is a two fold process, where the first programming configures the FPGA and the second programming flashes Software code to be executed inside the FPGA / ARM processor.
Connecting
Variant without explicit power connector:
Connect the modules Micro-USB to your host pc, this enables the powering of the module and a simultaneous JTAG and UART connection .
Driver check
When the module is connected via USB cable to your demo host computer, in the Windows Device Manager appear the following three board driver related devices:
In section Ports (COM & LPT):
- FlashPro5 Port (ComX)
In section Universal Serial Bus controllers:
- 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. When these devices are not visible, the driver installation through libero could be faulty.
Programming Hard and Software Designs
Before flashing any design to the module, open a terminal programm (e.g. PuTTY or SmarTTY) to the boards COM port, so that when the module restarts after programming, it's messages can be captured.
Programming Variant "IDE"
The Microsemi Hardware and Software Design Tools, Libero and SoftConsole, incorporate the abillity to edit, debug and program Hardware and Software Designs. This Programming Variant is for you, when you are interessted in this.
Programming the Hardware design
To program the Hardware Reference Design, start the FPGA Design IDE "Libero SoC v2021.2".
The Hardware Reference Design can be opened via "Project > Open Project" in the top right corner of Libero (picture above - upper green rectangle). A file dialogue opens, point the dialogue along to the extracted download folder containing the Hardware Design.
Disk :\ Path-to-the-Demo-archive \ Extracted ZIP-archive \ Libero-X.y_Hardware-Design\
Double left mouse click onto the project file "TEM0001_RefDesV02.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 - lover 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 functionality of a Reference / Demo -Design.
Programming a Software project
Open SoftConsole and press "Browse..." near the right edge. A file dialogue opens, point the dialogue along the extracted download to the folder containing the SoftConsole Workspace.
Disk :\ Path-to-the-Demo-archive \ Extracted ZIP-archive \ SoftConsole2021.1_Workspace_TEM0001 \
Confirm your selectioin by pressing "Ok" , the dialogue closes, and open The SoftConsole by pressing "Launch"
Subsequently the program opens and shows the software project's who are contained inside the workspace to the left, under "Project Explorer".
To simply run a Project, press the triangle right to the button marked with a "R" in the picture above and select a variant of the demo.
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)
Programming Variant "FlashPro Express"
When you just want to run a SoC Design, this is for you.
To program a Hardware and Software Design simultaneously, open FlashPro Express. Via left click onto Open .... in the section "Job Projects" open a file dialogue. Point to
Disk :\ Path-to-the-Demo-archive \ Extracted ZIP-archive \ FlashProExpress2021.2 \ Desired Demo \ JobFile . pro
To program the Design, press Run.

Hello World
The Hello World utializes all features of the Hardware. It runs an endless loop, which interacts with the modules periphy in each loop. It is very close to the modules production test.
Features
- Display the system time since power up
- Identifies SPI Flash IDs
- Tests different ~5 % of the SDR cells each loop and tracks the result above all loops
- Illuminates the 8 user LEDs in a row in selectable patterns [Counter, running & bouncing light]
- Illuminates all user LEDs while the user button is pressed
UART Messages
TEM0001-01B : "Hello world!" - Loop : 1
RTC-Time :
0:00:00:00 (Day, hour, minute, second)
SPI Flash - Reding JEDEC specs :
Device ID : 0X16
Manufacturer ID : 0XEF, Winbond
Device capacity : 0X17, 8 MB
Device type : 0X40
SDRam test :

Checking from 0XA0000000 to 0XA0400000 in steps of 19
Result this loop - SUCCESSFULL
All 1 Test Cycles - FLAWLESS
Interaction
- Press the User Button S2 to switch the illumination patterns
Demo SF2_GNU_SC4_pwm_slow_blink
This software design illuminates the User LED D10. The User LED D2 transitions between illuminated and off continuously.
Demo SF2_GNU_SC4_rtc_time
Resambles a clock with time and date. Time and Date can be set.
********************************************************************
************** SmartFusion2 RTC Calendar Time Example **************
********************************************************************
This example project reads the time from the SmartFusion2 RTC.
A simple command line interface allows the following operations:
- Set the RTC time by pressing "t"
- Set the RTC date by pressing "d"
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Saturday January 1 2000 (week 1) 00:00:34
Interaction
To edit the time press t or d for the date, confirm via Enter. The program alters to setup mode. Changing the values for hour, minute and second is done independently for each value, enter a valid value and press Enter. When all values are entered, the new values are accepted . A non valid value will terminate the setup mode.
