The connection between the Aardvark programmer header’s ARST~ signal and

the FT 5000 Control Module JP1 connector’s RST~ signal ensures that the FT

5000 Smart Transceiver is held in reset during device programming.

Clearing the Non-Volatile Memory

In general, if you have a working device, you should not need to clear the

external EEPROM non-volatile memory for a Series 5000 chip. For a working

device, you can receive a service-pin message and reload the non-volatile memory

from the network as needed. However, if it should become necessary to clear the

EEPROM non-volatile memory (for example, during device development),

perform the following tasks:

1. Reset the device by pressing and holding the device’s Reset button. If the

device does not have a Reset button, temporarily connect the RST~ pin

(pin 2 of the JP1 header) of the control module to GND to hold the chip in

the reset state.

2. Temporarily connect the EEPROM's SCL pin (pin 8 of the JP1 header) to

GND.

3. Release the device’s Reset button (or remove the GND connection from

the RST~ pin).

4. Wait a few seconds until the device’s Service Pin LED is illuminated (on

solid, not flashing). If the device does not have a Service Pin LED,

connect a logic analyzer or oscilloscope to the SVC~ pin (pin 10 of the

JP1 header) of the control module and verify that it changes state (low to

high) at a 76 Hz rate.

5. Disconnect the EEPROM's SCL pin from GND.
6. Use the NodeUtil utility to set the memory configuration and set the

state for the device:

a. Connect the PC that will run the NodeUtil utility to the same

network interface that connects to the device. For example, if you

connect to the device using LON1, connect the NodeUtil utility to

LON1.

b. Start the NodeUtil utility.
