6. Program your external serial EEPROM or flash memory device using an application such as the

Flash Center Memory Programmer from TotalPhase. You can download the Flash Center
Memory Programmer for free from the TotalPhase Web site at

www.totalphase.com/products/flash_center/#downloads

.

If you use the Flash Center Memory Programmer software, you also need to change the extension
of the .NME and .NMF application image files generated by the NodeBuilder tool to .HEX. This
is because the Flash Center Memory Programmer requires hex files that have .HEX extensions.
Also note that if you are programming the external serial flash device on the FT 5000 EVB, you
must also program the external serial EEPROM device on the board with the configuration data in
the .NME file.

7. Remove the connection from the in-circuit device programmer.

8. Power off the FT 5000 EVB.

9. Re-connect the pins on JP1.

10. Remove ground from the Reset pin by removing the connection between pins 16 and 20 on the

Gizmo I/O Connector (see step 4).

11. Power on the FT 5000 EVB.

For more information on performing in-circuit programming of Series 5000 chips, see Chapter 8 of the
NodeBuilder FX User’s Guide.

I/O Line Access (JP24)

This header provides access to the 12 I/O, service, and reset lines of the FT 5000 Smart Transceiver on
the FT 5000 EVB, and it provides a ground reference for instrumentation with a scope or logic
analyzer. Although JP24 can be used to wire other I/O devices, you should use the Gizmo Header
(P201) to do this because it can also provide power for other devices (see I/O Connector later in this
