2 Replies and 1359 Views LH7A400-10 Compact Flash Potential Issue  1359  2 Started by  Anonymous Title: LH7A400-10 Compact Flash Potential Issue Applicable product: Logic lce-app-10, pn 80000116 LH7a400-10 card engine Content: The zoom sdk application board provides a compact flash slot. This slot has A0 wired to the cf interface. The a400 memory controller when configured to be 16 bits wide in this memory area changes the functionality of A0 such that it becomes another nWE (write enable) signal. Compact flash cards in memory mapped mode assume A0 to be in a stable state at logic ...

1 Replies and 1312 Views Can I use tftp with NK.bin?  1312  1 Started by  rdubrawski I would like to implement a fast method to load our product image on the card engine. The output of platform builder is the NK.bin file which is created with the romtools. During development we are loading this file using platform builder and either running out of RAM directly or burning it to flash. For mass deployment as well as field upgrades, we would prefer to have another mechanism. How can I load a burnable nk.bin file onto a card engine (assume that the serial and ethernet are availa...

1 Replies and 1361 Views Forcing the 91C111 strobe  1361  1 Started by  Deleted User I know that any driver for the 91C111 has to force a strobe of the 91C111's chip select between reads/writes so that it doesn't go all wonky on you. The standard practice for generating the strobe seems to be a read of FLASH memory. But... is there another device / physical memory area I could read instead of FLASH I ask because I may be running into an issue where network activity occurs while I'm trying to program the FLASH, and I'd rather not have spurious FLASH reads occur during my writ...

2 Replies and 1365 Views Calibrating the TIMER source constants  1365  2 Started by  Deleted User This is the thread so far. ==================== One of the problems that I've identified is that the essential system timer, AKA jiffy timer, doesn't run at the expected rate. With the primitive tools that I have on hand, I've come up with a circumstantial explanation. Two of the LH7A400 timers can run at either ~2kHz or ~508kHz. The documentation states that the 2kHz timer is has an exact cycle frequency of 1.9994 kHz. This would mean that there would be about 1999 counts every second. Using t...

2 Replies and 1439 Views USB RESET circuit problem  1439  2 Started by  Deleted User Another hardware engineer and I were working back in January on trying to get the USB RESET detect circuitry on the ZOOM SDK working with the LH7A400 card engine. The problem was that when the USB cable is unplugged, the ARM gets stuck in an infinite loop in the interrupt handler for UIR:URINT (bus reset detect). We finally figured out the problem. For some reason we don't understand, the designers of the SDK wired the gate of the P-channel MOSFET, which controls the pull-up on the USB DP lin...

1 Replies and 1314 Views PPP  1314  1 Started by  Deleted User Just checking to see if anyone here has had any PPP over serial experience... What is the process to set up a PPP direct connection over one of the UARTs in Windows CE I think I have included all the necessary components in my platform, but no UARTs show up when I try to make a New Connection via direct connection in control pannel. Also, I would like to have the connection established on start up.

2 Replies and 1432 Views Wired lan not electrically isolated?  1432  2 Started by  Deleted User Has anyone else noticed that the wired lan is not electrically isolated on the LH7A400 ZOOM SDK The reference schematic for the 91C111 shows an isolation transformer between the RJ-45 connector and the IC. There is no such transformer on the ZOOM SDK. It also looks like the line impedence is not matched. The impedence for RJ-45 twisted pair is 75 ohms. The terminators used on the ZOOM SDK are 50 ohms.

1 Replies and 1318 Views MultiMediaCard Connection  1318  1 Started by  Deleted User The Card Engine (CE) HW Spec, section 2.4 indicates that the CE uses a standard 3-wire MMC interface (Command, Clock, and Bi-Directional Data). Section 5.4.3 of the same spec, shows that pin 49 of expansion connector J1B is for MMC SPI mode chip select. What is the relevance of this line if the CE only supports MMC mode How does the CE perfrom MMC card insertion/detection

1 Replies and 1297 Views BLOB available, one step toward Linux  1297  1 Started by  Deleted User I've posted a patch and binary for BLOB that runs on the LPD7a400-10. I haven't tested it with a kernel as I don't yet have one. Someone has written to the list stating that he has a 2.4 kernel that works. I'm working on a 2.6 kernel which should be booting RSN. Cheers. <http://www.buici.com/projects/arm/lpd7a400>

1 Replies and 1331 Views Serial (Com) port run at 460.8k  1331  1 Started by  rdubrawski I am running windows CE .Net (4.2). I need to operate one of the UARTS at 460800 bps to connect to an external sensor. I know that the UART is capable of this but when I query the Com device for capabilities it only reports up to 115,200 bps. Can I request 460.8 kbps using the existing lpd_LH7A400-10_UART_beta_003 device driver and operate at this speed If it is only limitted by design choice and not by capability could this be added to the driver Thanks
