1 Connecting the FT 5000 EVB Hardware This chapter describes how to power your FT 5000 EVB and connect it to a LONWORKS FT-10 channel and to your development computer. . .
Connection Instructions To connect the FT 5000 EVB boards, follow these steps: 1. Unpack the equipment from the shipping carton. Note: The FT 5000 EVB boards are shipped in protective anti-static packaging. When assembling the FT 5000 EVB boards, the boards must not be subjected to high electrostatic potentials. Avoid touching the component pins, or any other metallic equipment on the evaluation boards. 2. Verify that all of the following hardware and software items are present. Item 3. 4.
5. Connect one of the orange network connectors on each FT 5000 EVB to the included network cable. Each board contains two orange network connectors (JP101, JP102) that are connected together. You can use these network connectors to daisy-chain multiple devices. 6. Use the included U10 USB Network Interface to attach your development computer to the TP/FT-10 channel.
If this is the only LONWORKS interface installed on your computer, it will automatically use the default name LON1, and you can proceed directly to your software application and begin using the interface as LON1. If you have another network interface installed on your computer, you can check the name used by the U10 USB Network Interface in the LONWORKS Interfaces application. You can also use this application to configure the buffer sizes and counts used by the U10 USB Network Interface.

Jumper Settings The FT 5000 EVB contains multiple sets of jumpers that you can use to configure the board. The following sections display the locations of the jumpers on the FT 5000 EVB, show the default settings of the jumpers, and describe how to use the jumpers to enable and disable various connections on the board.
3. Press the Reset button. 4. Re-connect the jumpers. 5. Reload the rebuilt application image file for the device running on the FT 5000 EVB. Flash ICE Connection (JP23) This header can be used to connect a SPI interface flash ICE, which you can use instead of the external serial non-volatile memory flash device on the FT 5000 EVB.
Performing In-Circuit Programming of External Serial Memory Devices The JP23 header along with the jumpers on JP1 provides support for third-party in-circuit device programmers, which you can use to update the data in the external serial EEPROM and flash devices used by the FT 5000 Smart Transceiver on the FT 5000 EVB. This provides an alternative to loading application images into these external serial memory devices over the TP/FT-10 network.
5. Connect your external serial EEPROM or flash memory device to a compatible device programmer. Echelon has tested the Aardvark™ I2C/SPI USB Host Adapter from TotalPhase™ (Part No. TP240141), with the 10-pin split cable from TotalPhase (Part No. TP240212), as one method for creating this connection (for more information on this adapter, go to the TotalPhase Web site at www.totalphase.com/products/aardvark_i2cspi/).

The following table lists the IO pins and IO devices associated with the jumpers on JP32.
3. Run Windows HyperTerminal or another terminal emulation program on your computer to monitor the serial output. Configure your terminal emulation program for direct connection to your serial port using the serial parameters specified in the device application. See the next section, Configuring a Device Application for Serial Debugging, for how to configure your device application for application-level debugging. Note: You can use only one of the EIA-232 or USB interfaces on the FT 5000 EVB at a time.
The Switch.nc and LED.nc files in the example device applications store various values in strings and then call the EvalBoardPrintDebug()function to output the strings to the serial interface. if (bOn) { // Toggle the state of the switch nvoSwitch[0].state ^= 1; nvoSwitch[0].value = nvoSwitch[0].
EIA-232 Interface (JP201and JP203) This set of jumpers enables the EIA-232 and ShortStack interfaces on the FT 5000 EVB. These jumpers are disconnected by default (these interface are disabled) as illustrated in the following figure: You can enable the EIA-232 interface without and with handshake lines. You can enable the EIA-232 interface without handshake lines to connect your FT 5000 EVB to your development computer for performing application-level debugging.
2. Verify that jumpers 5-6 (RXUSB) and 9-10 (TXUSB) on JP32 for the USB interface are disconnected. This is because you can only use one of the EIA-232 and USB interfaces on the FT 5000 EVB at a time. See Switch, Temperature Sensor, Joystick, and USB Connections (JP32) earlier in this chapter for more information. 3. Connect jumpers 1-2 (IO8 R10) and 7-8 (IO10 T1IN) on JP201. This connects the IO8 and IO10 pins on the FT 5000 Smart Transceiver to the EIA-232 communications interface on the board.
