fast-PC67C
and fast-PC276 High-Speed Communication Board for ISA or PCI
fast-PC67C
and fast-PC276C are PC boards optimized for high-speed communication
between the Integrated Development Environment on the host PC and
a C16x / ST10 microcontroller system.
The
board allows fast and reliable communication under Windows 2000,
Windows XP and Windows Vista. Featured by the integrated C167CR
or ST10F276 microcontroller and 256 kByte or 1 MByte of RAM the
board may serve as hardware based simulator for C16x / ST10 code
development too.

Flexible
CAN Bus Interface Capability
The debugger
development environment for C16x / ST10 applications supports the CAN
communication channel between host PC and target system. Following advantages
are thereby achieved:
- CAN communication
channel may be used simultaneously for your application and for debugging
because of the CAN bus node addressing.
- No additional
hardware is required for on-site software testing, as C167C / ST10 CAN
derivatives target systems already contain the necessary hardware equipment
to use the CAN bus.
- The CAN
bus debugging monitor in the target system requires just 4kByte of code
and 128Bytes data memory; it can thus be easily integrated into nearly
all types of target systems. 4 message identifier and 2 CAN module messages
objects for host-to-target communication must be reserved. CAN bus timing
is user-definable.
The CAN debugging
interface uses the on-chip CAN module of the C167CR, C167CS, C164CI, C161CS,
C161JS, ST10R167 and ST10R168 CAN derivatives or an external i82527 CAN
bus controller for communication with debugger on the host PC. The Controller
Area Network (CAN) bus and its associated protocol allows very efficient
communication between a number of stations connected to the CAN bus. Accessing
a number of stations simultaneously may be of great advantage when designing
complex systems with a number of CAN nodes based on C16x / ST10. Other
software performance enhancing features of the CAN bus are:
- High data
transmission speed (data rates of up to 1 Mbps can be achieved).
- Data integrity
(the CAN bus protocol features several error-checking mechanisms).
- Relieving
the host controller (CAN controller handle most of the task autonomously).
- Flexible
and powerful message passing.
The CAN bus
debug interface is an excellent solution allowing rapid access to the
target system for software development, testing and on-site maintenance
at all times.
Special CAN
Bus Target Monitor Features
- One software
trap (default: 7Eh) for breakpoint interrupt
- Target
system monitors for C16x / ST10 internal on-chip CAN module and external
i82527 available.
- CAN bus
ROM monitors for standard evaluation boards come with the Debugger Standard
Package.
- User specific
CAN bus monitors can be configured from the UDE-Mon Portable Monitor
package. All components (sources, objects and libraries) are compatible
with the available C16x / ST10 cross compilers.
- Standard
and Extended Identifiers supported.
- CAN interrupt
sharing between monitor and application using the On-Chip CAN module.
- ROM-less
CAN debug monitors possible (Bootstraploader(ASC) and CAN).
CAN Bus
Monitoring:
The CAN bus
may be monitored using the fast-PC67C and fast-PC276C:
- CAN bus
polling
- CAN bus
observing capability, can also be used in conjunction with the CAN bus
based debugger communication
- CAN bus
stimulation - ideally suited for testing CAN applications !
Add-on modules
for CAN bus interface standards other than ISO-DIS 11898 may be plugged
on fast-PC67C/fast-PC276C. Therefore, fast-PC67C may be connected with
a CAN bus based on the ISO-DIS11519-1 CAN low speed standard. The Module
CAN/LB032 LS TxBB (i+ME Actia) can be directly plugged into the fast-PC67C/fast-PC276C
connectors. Other opto-isolated CAN interface modules may also be used
with fast-PC67C/fast-PC276C.
The Debugger
CAN Bus Monitoring tool is designed as a development aid for applications
using the CAN bus and is not supposed to completely replace a CAN Analyzer.
