General CreataLink2 XT Hardware Integrator’s Guide
Product Description
Architecture
The data transceiver’s software architecture is based upon the FLEX Kernel real-
time operating system. With the addition of ReFLEX stack software, a message
manager, and the CLP default application, it provides a third-party embedded
messaging Application Programmer Interface (API). Ownership of the serial port
can be passed to a third-party application in place of the CLP application via an
application framework provided by SmartSynch, Inc. An ARM core based micropro
-
cessor provides the following features:
• 32-bit addressing
• 8, 16, and 32-bit data
• State-of-the-art software development tools
• Industry standard Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) port
• Debugging support tools and environment via JTAG port
The serial port data interface supports the CLP application. The CLP serial
interface commands the data transceiver to obtain status information about the
network, transmit messages, and download received messages.
Components
The CreataLink2 XT hardware incorporates RF, digital, and analog circuitry on one
Printed Circuit Board (PCB). The product contains no housing and is sold as an
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) product. The data transceiver has an
industry-standard Sub-Miniature connector (SMA) connection for cabling to a
remote antenna.
