6 Introduction
The Neuron C Version 2.2 language includes new keywords such as interrupt, __lock,
stretchedtriac, __slow, __fast, and __parity. Some of these keywords use a double
underscore prefix to avoid any likely naming collisions within existing device
applications.
FT 5000 EVB Evaluation Board
The FT 5000 EVB is a complete Series 5000 L ON W ORKS device that you can use to
evaluate the L ON W ORKS 2.0 platform and create L ON W ORKS devices. The FT 5000 EVB
includes a FT 5000 Smart Transceiver with an external 10 MHz crystal (you can adjust
the system’s internal clock speed from 5MHz to 80MHz), an FT-X3 communication
transformer, 64KB external serial EEPROM and flash memory devices, and a 3.3V power
source. The FT 5000 EVB features a compact design that includes the following I/O
devices that you can use to develop prototype and production devices and test the FT
5000 EVB example applications:
• 4 x 20 character LCD
• 4-way joystick with center push button
• 2 push-button inputs
• 2 LED outputs
• Light-level sensor
• Temperature sensor
The FT 5000 EVB Evaluation Board also includes EIA-232/TIA-232 (formerly RS-232)
and USB interfaces that you can use to connect the board to your development computer
and perform application-level debugging. You can also use the EIA-232 interface or
other interfaces provided for development with the ShortStack
® Developer’s Kit. Note
that only one interface can be used at a time.
Note: You must use the ShortStack FX Developer’s Kit to develop ShortStack
applications for the FT 5000 EVB. Earlier versions of the kit do not support the FT 5000
EVB.
The FT 5000 EVB supports the in-circuit programming of the external serial EEPROM
and flash devices used by the FT 5000 Smart Transceiver on the FT 5000 EVB. This
provides an alternative to loading application images into these external serial memory
devices over the TP/FT-10 network.
The FT 5000 EVB also features a flash in-circuit emulator (ICE) header that you can use
to connect an SPI flash ICE. This provides an alternative to using the external serial
non-volatile memory flash device on the FT 5000 EVB.
For more information on the FT 5000 EVB hardware, including detailed descriptions of
its Neuron core, I/O devices, service pin and reset buttons and LEDs, jumper settings,
and in-circuit programming instructions, see the FT 5000 EVB Hardware Guide.
PL 3150 and 3170 EVB Evaluation Board
The PL 3170 EVB is a complete L
ON
W
ORKS
device that you can use to evaluate the
L ON W ORKS 2.0 platform and create simple L ON W ORKS devices. The PL 3170 EVB
includes a PL 3170 Smart Transceiver, which includes Interoperable Self Installation
(ISI) functions built into the firmware that is stored in the on-chip ROM. This lets you
create Neuron C device application that have a maximum of 4 KB code—even when
using ISI functions in the application.
