6000 Series Chips

The address ranges and consumption for the on-chip and off-chip memory of the 6000 Series chips are
as follows:

Off-Chip ROM

The 6000 Series chips do not support off-chip memory;
therefore, this property is set to N/A.

Extended Non-Volatile

The 6000 Series chips use a serial memory interface for
external non-volatile flash memory devices. The application
code and configuration data are stored in the external
non-volatile memory device and then copied into the internal
RAM when the device is reset. The device application is then
executed from the internal RAM.

Echelon supports a number of compatible serial flash memory
parts. You must select the part from the Type list to match your
device hardware.

You do not need to need to specify memory boundaries for a
device based on a Series 6000 chip, because the Neuron Linker
automatically configures the memory map to meet the
combined requirements of the chip, the Neuron firmware and
your application.

Extended On-chip RAM

On-chip ROM

On-chip RAM

Mandatory EEPROM

You do not need to need to specify any of these memory
boundaries for a device based on a Series 6000 chip, because
the Neuron Linker automatically configures the memory map to
meet the combined requirements of the chip, the Neuron
firmware and your application.

Extended On-chip EEPROM

The 6000 Series chips do not use Extended On-chip EEPROM;
therefore, this property is set from 0x0000 to 0x0000.

3150 Neuron Core

For Neuron 3150 Chips, 3150 FT Smart Transceivers, and 3150 PL Smart Transceivers, the on-chip
memory values are dependent on the chip type and may not be modified with the exception of the
Extended On-chip RAM. The Type property in the Non-Volatile Memory box specifies the type of
non-volatile memory (EEPROM, FLASH, and NVRAM) used, if any. For devices where the system
image is kept in non-volatile memory, select either flash or NVRAM. EEPROM is not supported for
this configuration.

3120 and 3170 Neuron Core

For the Neuron 3120 Chips, 3120 FT Smart Transceivers, 3120 PL Smart Transceivers, and 3170 PL
Smart Transceivers, the on-chip memory values are dependent on the chip type and may not be
modified with the exception of the Extended On-chip RAM. These chips do not support off-chip
memory, therefore, the Off-Chip ROM, Off-Chip RAM, Off-Chip Non-Volatile and I/O properties
are set to N/A.

Setting the Hardware Template Description

You can enter an optional description for a hardware template in the Description tab of the
NodeBuilder Hardware Template Properties dialog. This description will be saved in the hardware
template file and will be available if this hardware template is used in other NodeBuilder projects.
