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

Select a variant!

Variant without explicit power connector:
Connect the modules TYPE USB to your host pc, this enables the powering of the module and a simultaneous JTAG and UART connection .

Variant with explicit power connector:
Connect the modules TYPE USB to your host pc and power the module via its dedicated power connector (e.g. Power Jack 5 V / 2 A + inside), this enables the powering of the module and a simultaneous JTAG and UART connection .

Insert picture to ilustarte the needed connections USB/Ethernet/Power jack/... (AD-TE000XY-... .PDF / schematic picture)

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 Programming, open FPGA Design IDE Libero.

Libero GUI "Run PRGORAMM ACTION"


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 the extracted download to the folder containing the Hardware Reference Design.

Disk :\ Path-to-the-Demo-archive \ Extracted ZIP-archive \ Libero-X.y_Referenz-Design\

Double left mouse click onto the project file "Referenz-Design_XY .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 \ Softconsole-X.y-Workspace \

Confirm your selectioin by pressing "Ok" , the dialogue closes, and open The SoftConsole by pressing "Launch"

SoftConsole "Select the Workspace"

Subsequently the program opens and shows the software project's who are contained inside the workspace to the left, under "Project Explorer".

SoftConsole GUI

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

SoftConsole "Debug controlls"

Switch between Debug and Run perspective (upper right corner program window)

SoftConsole "Switch GUI layout"

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 \ FlashProExpressX.y \ Desired Demo \ JobFile . pro

FlashPro Express GUI

To program the Design, press Run.

REACH, RoHS and WEEE

REACH

Trenz Electronic is a manufacturer and a distributor of electronic products. It is therefore a so called downstream user in the sense of REACH. The products we supply to you are solely non-chemical products (goods). Moreover and under normal and reasonably foreseeable circumstances of application, the goods supplied to you shall not release any substance. For that, Trenz Electronic is obliged to neither register nor to provide safety data sheet. According to present knowledge and to best of our knowledge, no SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) on the Candidate List are contained in our products. Furthermore, we will immediately and unsolicited inform our customers in compliance with REACH - Article 33 if any substance present in our goods (above a concentration of 0,1 % weight by weight) will be classified as SVHC by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).

RoHS

Trenz Electronic GmbH herewith declares that all its products are developed, manufactured and distributed RoHS compliant.

WEEE

Information for users within the European Union in accordance with Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).

Users of electrical and electronic equipment in private households are required not to dispose of waste electrical and electronic equipment as unsorted municipal waste and to collect such waste electrical and electronic equipment separately. By the 13 August 2005, Member States shall have ensured that systems are set up allowing final holders and distributors to return waste electrical and electronic equipment at least free of charge. Member States shall ensure the availability and accessibility of the necessary collection facilities.
