Atmel ATSTK94 Operation instructions

Testing the ATSTK94

To program any design onto the Starter Kit, first of all you need to program the Config-

urator (AT17XX) with a bitstream file, that in turn downloads the configuration data to

the AT94K Field Programmable System Level Integrated Circuit (FPSLIC™)device

during power up. You are not programming the FPSLIC directly since FPSLIC devices

are SRAM-based (at power down you loose the data).

Setting up the Example Files

In this tutorial all paths are given assuming a default install of c:\SystemDesigner.If

you have installed System Designer™in another drive or directory, remember to

change the path to your actual System Designer directory.

Throughout the tutorial actions that must be performed are marked with bullets.

Filenames, paths and menus are shown in bold. Typed text is in courier.

The following example uses a sample bitstream file supplied with the kit, which per-

forms a board test. It is recommended to perform the board test when you receive the

kit to test both your connections to the board and the board itself:

• Install System Designer from the CD, please refer to the “Installation, Licensing

and Troubleshooting” tutorial available on the Atmel web site, at

http://www.atmel.com/atmel/products/prod319.htm.

• Request and Configure your license, refer to the “Installation, Licensing and

Troubleshooting” tutorial.

• Install CPS from the System Designer CD.

• Copy the test_fpslic.bst file from

c:\SystemDesigner\Examples\at94k\ATSTK94Designs or from

http://www.atmel.com/atmel/products/prod320.htm to c:\training\fpslic\lab1.

SettinguptheHardware

• Connect the ATDH2225 25 Pin Cable Block to your PC parallel port.

• Connect the 10-pin header cable to the ATDH2225.

• Connect the end of the cable with the locating pin on one to the board.

• Set the Program switch to the Prog position.

• Pluginthepower.

•SetthePower switch to the ON position.

• The power LED lights.

Downloading to the

Configurator

• GototheStart menu and choose Programs > Atmel > Atmel CPS 7.0x.Atmel

CPS opens, see Figure 1.

Figure 1. Atmel CPS Window

•Select/P Partition, Program and Verify from an Atmel File from the Procedure

pull-down menu in the CPS window.

• Use the button from the Input File pull-down menu to locate the test_fpslic.bst

file under c:\training\fpslic\lab1.

• Use the button from the Output File pull-down menu to indicate the out.bst file

under c:\training\fpslic\lab1.

•Select1M from the EEPROM Density pull-down menu.

• Use the default options for the rest.

•PressStart Procedure to program the Configurator.

If the utility has not been calibrated on a given PC, the Clock Calibration dialog will

be displayed when the Start Procedure button is clicked, see Figure 2. For best

results, it is highly recommended to allow Clock Calibration to proceed prior to the

execution of the procedure. The clock calibration routine accounts for any variations

in time delay units between different processors.

Figure 2. Clock Calibration Dialog Box

•PressYes. A calibration accuracy dialog box opens.

Low,Medium and High refer to the accuracy of the calibration. A high level of cali-

bration will require more time to complete. Calibration can be performed again or at

a later time by going to the Calibrate menu and selecting Calibrate now.The

out.bst filecanbeoverwritten.

If successful, the results are shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3. CPS Window Results

• After CPS reports successful completion you can switch from Prog. to Run.

Your design starts to run. The Alphanumeric will show a count sequence from 0 to 9

and from A to Z and will then reset to 0. The LED will show the counting up

sequence.

4Testing the ATSTK94

2449A–FPSLI–01/02

If your design does not run immediately you can set JP19 to RESET and use the

RESET button SW12 to force a download from the Configurator to the FPSLIC

device. You can also power-cycle the device.

The Checksum number is the number of data bits in the bitstream file, the checksum

number shown here is for test_fpslic.bst file. This number can be used to check if the

data is corrupted during file transfer.

Hardware

Troubleshooting

Your design can encounter the following errors:

Error message “Expected 1 but found 0”

- No Power to the board

- Prog/ Run in the wrong position

or:

FATAL_ERROR: CMD ack_sense timed out

Double check the orientation of cable connected to evaluation board

Any other failure would be related to the following

• Check to see that the Jumpers and Switches are in default positions, see Table 1.

• The next area to check is the pinlocks. In Figaro, during the parts process, make

sure that you have selected to assign pinlocks. Without performing this step, your

project will not run on the board, since you have not connected the signals to the

correct pins on the board.

• Check to see that the AVR-FPGA Interface has the correct connections.

• Run co-verification on your design

Please refer to the CPS Troubleshooting guide for a complete description. Go to the

Help menu and select Contents > Trouble Shooting.

Table 1. Default for Jumpers and Switches

Jumper/Switch Default Position

JP 1-16 The default position for all the switches and LEDs is with the Jumper set to

the “A” position, which means that the switches and LEDs are connected

to the microcontroller. By setting the jumpers to the “F” position, the

switches and LEDs are connected to FPGA.

JP17 Rev 2 – The jumper is set towards the edge of the board, this connects to

the 4 MHz crystal. Connecting to other side will connect to the 18 MHz

crystal.

Rev3 and beyond – The position of the jumper is changed and it should be

set on the inner side to connect to the 4 MHz crystal. Connecting towards

the outer side of the board will connect to the 18 MHz crystal.

JP18 Has a Jumper Connected

JP19 Set to the RESET Position

JP20 Jumper connects the SER_EN pin of the AT17 device to the PORTE pin 7

of the microcontroller. By connecting this jumper, you can perform 2-wire

serial interface. Default is “Not Connected”

JP21 Jumper Connects CEO/A2 to VCC. Default is “Not Connected”

JP22 Jumper connects the write protect pins of the AT17 device to VCC.Default is

“Not Connected”

JP23 Rev4 and beyond – Jumper connects the write protect pins of the AT17

device to VCC. Default is “Not Connected”

ON/OFF (Sw14) Power Switch. Default Position Off

Run /Prog Switch Set to Prog.
