This development kit is solely for Bus Controller development. If a Remote Terminal evaluation kit is required, please order the separate HI-6140 RT evaluation kit.
An ANSI C language reference project is provided that is ready-to-run on the ARM Cortex M3 evaluation platform, demonstrating concurrent operation for a Bus Controller only. It supports the three ‘Logical Hub’ modes: SWITCH, LINK and SPEC. For demonstration purposes, only four RS-485 ports of a possible 31 RS-485 interfaces are provided, however the control signals can be output from the CPLD for all 31 RT ports. For convenience, this kit includes IAR Systems Embedded Workbench® for ARM, and a fully integrated debug interface for the ARM Cortex M3 microcontroller.
The Quick Start Guide QSG-6140BC describes how to set up and run the board. Additional support material and all required project software are found in the included Holt CD-ROM. A version of the demonstration software is already programmed into the microcontroller flash; the board is operational right out of the box without installing or running the provided software development tools.
