3 Hardware Instructions

After unpacking the TWR‐FRAM kit, notice the “RAMTRON” printing on the TWR‐FRAM. This is the primary side of the board and should be connected to the Primary Elevator. If the jumpers have not been changed, it is suggested to place the board on the top level of the elevator. Go ahead and construct the Tower System. Make sure to connect the primary side of all the Tower modules to the primary elevator. The primary side of each board is indicated by the white line along the connector (this can be seen below the RAMTRON label in the picture above). The primary elevator is indicated by white PCI connectors.

4 Jumper Instructions and Table

This section provides the jumper table and configuration instructions to interface with demo software.

4.1 Jumper Instructions

The TWR K53N512 has multiple channels for I2C and SPI communication and there are jumpers on the TWR‐FRAM to allow for all possible communication channels. The demo software communicates via I2C0 and SPI0 channels. For I2C0 (Elevator pins B50 and B51) : Set J12 and J13 to 2‐3 For SPI0 (Elevator pins B44, B45, B46 and B48): Set J4, J7, J8, J10 to 2‐3 To enable FM33256 and disable FM25V10: Set J32 to 1‐2 and J38 to 2‐3

5 Software Instructions

5.1 IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM

To develop on and access the IAR project demos built for the TWR‐K53N512, it is necessary to download IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM. Note: Please check that you have the latest version of IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM installed (i.e. these projects were developed on version 6.4 and are confirmed to NOT work on version 6.1). Go to IAR home website (www.iar.com) under the “Software Download” section and download IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM processors. Follow the instructions of the install executable.

5.2 Keil µVision4

To develop on and access the Keil project demos built for the TWR‐K53N512, it is necessary to download Keil µVision4. Note: Please check that you have the latest version Keil µVision4 for MDK‐ARM installed. Go to Keil home website (www.keil.com) and select “Product Downloads” under the “Software Downloads” section. Download Keil MDK‐ARM. Follow the instructions of the install executable. You will also need to download and install the Freescale Kinetis OSJTAG drivers for Keil. (http://www.keil.com/download/docs/408.asp)

5.3 PE Micro OSBDM Virtual Serial Toolkit

This package is used mainly for the drivers to interface with the OSJTAG and its serial terminal capabilities. A different serial terminal application can be used but it is still necessary to get the appropriate drivers if it is intended to use the OSJTAG. Go to the PE Micro OSBDM website (www.pemicro.com/osbdm). Download the package by following the “OSBDM Virtual Serial Toolkit” link. Use the pdf installation instructions for the drivers and toolkit by following the link “Installation & Operation of the OSBDM”.

5.4 Connect the Tower System to PC

If you have not already, connect the USB cable to the TWR‐K53N512 miniUSB port. If this is the first time you have connected the Tower System with a PC containing updated P&E drivers, the PC may indicate that the firmware needs to be updated (Follow the instructions for the OSBDM Virtual Serial Toolkit if these have not been installed and updated). Once the system is connected, the onboard demo should be running. Go to Start ‐> All Programs ‐> P&E OSBDM OSJTAG Virtual Serial Toolkit ‐>Utilities‐>Terminal Utility Make sure the settings are: Port: <appropriate COM> (“USB COM” works on this PC) Baud: 115200 Parity: None Bits: 8 Click “Open Serial Port” and text should appear below the button saying “Open.” At this point, everything necessary to interface with the demos should be available.

6 Demo Instructions for IAR

The demo software can be downloaded at www.ramtron/go/towerFRAM.com . Unzip “TWR_FRAM_demos”. The directory structure is as follows: Inside the build folder, this contains the IAR workspaces for each project. The src folder contains the source files for the projects. TWR‐FRAM Project Descriptions: SPI_mem – provides example code for interfacing with the F‐RAM SPI devices FM33256B and FM25V10. For the processor companion part (FM33256B), the code will activate the RTC, set the time and date, read from the event counters, and write data to the memory. NOTE: The SPI_mem project can only interact with one SPI device at a time. By default, the program in interface with the processor companion (FM33256B). To interface with the FM25V10, comment the define for the FM33256B and uncomment the define for FM25V10 (like shown below). Then, recompile the project. I2C_mem – provides example code for interfacing with the F‐RAM I2C devices FM31T378, FM31256, and FM24W256. For the processor companion parts (FM31T378 and FM31256), the code will activate the RTC, set the time and date, read from the event counters, and write data to the memory of all 3 components. statesaver – provides example code of interfacing with the FM1106 devices. The state savers are connected to LEDs and the project will light a pattern by controlling the FM1106. parallel_mem – provides example code of interfacing with the FM22L16 devices.
