Programming Considerations

External Memory Considerations

The following sections describe considerations for the external memory devices on

the FT 5000 Control Module and Neuron 3150 Control Modules.

FT 5000 Control Module

The FT 5000 Control Module includes an Atmel

®

AT24C512BN-SH25-T two-wire

serial EEPROM to hold the application image. You can program the external

memory for the FT 5000 Smart Transceiver on the control module using either of

the following methods:

Program the memory part in-circuit using a serial I

C programming

device, such as the Total Phase™ Aardvark™ I2C/SPI Host Adapter.

Program the memory part over the L

network, using a network

manager such as the LonMaker

®

Integration tool or the NodeLoad utility.

Using an Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter

For the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter with the Flash Center Memory

Programmer software:

Rename the .NME application image file that is generated by the

NodeBuilder tool to a .HEX file.

Select the memory part to program ("Atmel 24C512B" I2C EEPROM for

the first release of the Control Module; check the part on the board to

verify the part number).

Important: Specify a byte padding value of “00” (the default padding

value used by the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter is “FF”).

For device development, it is recommended that your motherboard include a

programming header for use with Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter, such as a

Samtec, Inc. TST-105-01-G-D shrouded square header. Figure 18 shows the

recommended schematic for this header connector. Table 11 on page 37 shows

the connections between the Aardvark programmer header and the FT 5000

Control Module JP1 connector.
