MRAM8051 A3P OLED Card The development kit includes the MRAM8051 A3P OLED Card; it has
a compact size of 3x2in. and is designed around the re-preogrammable Actel
ProASIC3 A3P 250 Flash Based FPGA. It comes
pre-programmed with a Silicon Laude MRAM8051
microcontroller core and OLED demo software, synthesizable netlist library,
example top-level Verilog RTL source code for Actel ProASIC3, Axcelerator, and
RTAX FPGAs, and royalty-free license for use in same or use in Tekmos, Inc.
merged ASICs and gate arrays. Directly
compatible with Actel Libero Gold and Platinum STAPL file output formats, it
includes an integral USB-JTAG interface for programming the device as well as
for real-time monitoring and debugging the resulting microcontroller
application software using BoxView IDEC source-level, real-time debugger.
With
its 512 kbytes of non-volatile Magneto-resistive Random Access Memory (MRAM),
integral color OLED display, thirty-six undedicated user I/O's, and on-board
USB-JTAG real-time hardware
monitor/debug interface, the MRAM8051 Evaluation/Development
Kit provides a simple yet versatile platform for exploring, designing, and
developing limitless customized MRAM8051 microcontroller applications.
BoxView IDE The kit also includes the BoxView IDE. The IDE is a windows based, open, industry supported, extensible software development environment which provides a compiler, linker, source code project manager, editors, and Domain's DSP target debugger. Both the free SDCC and Keil C51 C compilers are supported by BoxView IDE. An integrated STAPL player for reprogramming the A3P FPGA is included along with an MRAM8051 software simulator. Complex
configurations such as debugging with multiple users, multiple target
processors, or remote access are all supported seamlessly by BoxView IDE
through its BoxServer connectivity software. This multi-core/device development
capability allows the user to start/stop/single-step selected devices
simultaneously. Access to multiple devices is provided from single or multiple
workstations via TCP/IP connection.

The Development Kit version of BoxView IDE is tied to the OLED Card preventing the IDE from being used in any other configuration; licenses supporting additional debugging capabilities can be purchased separately. MRAM8051 OLED Reference Design Characteristics The MRAM8051 OLED reference design as shown above utilizes about 82% of the A3P250 available logic fabric and two of the FPGA's embedded RAM blocks for the core's internal 256-byte internal data memory. One PLL is used to multiply the supplied 12 MHz clock by 4 to create a free running internal RAM read clock due to such RAM blocks being fully synchronous on the read side, which is not the case for Axcelerator and RTAX devices. For RTAX devices, six embedded RAM blocks (configured for asynchronous read) are used to create triple module redundancy (TMR) and no PLLs are used. Implemented in a ProASIC3 device, the above reference design is pre-programmed to operate at 6.144MHz (6 MIPS), which is roughly equivalent to a standard MCS51 operating with a 72 MHz clock input. For information on converting your MRAM8051 design into an ASIC using the Tekmos' merged ASIC program, review www.tekmos.com USB-EMU Emulator The kit also includes the USB-EMU Emulator which enables efficient and productive embedded software debugging for the DSP560xx, DSP561xx, DSP563xx, and the DSP568xx. Both compact and portable, it utilizes the JTAG and OnCE (On-Chip Emulation) protocols. This versatile probe supports either a single JTAG connection or a single OnCE connection promoting debug flexibility and convenience. When used with Domain Technologies' BoxView debugger, the USB-EMU provides access to the JTAG device's boundary scan functionality (BSDL file required). Boundary scan operations enable non-intrusive monitoring of the target device pins, even while the target device is executing its own application code. The USB-EMU emulator can program external flash memory devices also. |
