To configure the evaluation boards with the GUI, the following sequence is recommended
Reset the Chip by unchecking and the re-checking RESN via GlobalControl
Set appropriate channel settings in the CHx registers.
Activate needed channels in Central -> CH_CTRL register
Activate MissionMode in the Central -> CH_CTRL register
Enable the Chip by setting EN via Global Control
Additionally, the watchdog value can be modified using the slider on the global control widget. The watchdog
is, however, triggered properly at startup and does not need to be configured.
The Diagnostics widget displays the state of the chip’s diagnostic registers, by default, these values don’t
update automatically, for this you need to check the AutoUpdate checkbox in GlobalControl
2.5 Information on the GUI communication interface
The GUI software sends commands via UART to the TriBoard based on the User input. The TriBoard
microcontroller firmware decodes the commands and excutes them accordingly. The following list shows
available commands that can be used to directly execute commands with the help of a terminal program.
All values have to be typed in as hexadecimal numbers. If the first digit is alphabetic, a zero has to be
typed in front of the value.
The Connection-PCB must be initialized on startup. The type of Connection-PCB is displayed on startup
or when entering the help() command.
For most commands a slot number (slot) has to be entered. Slot 0 selects the Connection PCB. The Eval-
PCBs are enumerated according to the slot naming shown in figure 11 (Slot A: (1) to Slot C: (3). The
XMC1100 has a single slot (1) only.
Not all Eval-PCBs can be mounted on every slot. The user can initialize Eval-PCBs by the initialization
commands and the slot number. The type of initialized Eval-PCBs is displayed when entering the help()
command.
CRCs, Parity Bits or similar have to be calculatet by the user.
The UART interface should be configured as shown in following figure.
