The PE0003 Evaluation Kit Interface Card is a global interface system for use with evaluation kits for CML’s new generation ICs, including FirmASIC™ based products. This greatly simplifies the approach to the evaluation and design-in process.
Based around the NXP ARM microprocessor LPC4330 and using a PC GUI, the information generated is formatted, timed and delivered to the target IC via selected C-BUS serial interfaces or a host port. The supplied control software can be used to perform C-BUS read and write operations, read or write sample data or run scripting functions.
In the case of FirmASIC™ IC evaluations, the Function Image™ can be loaded onto the CMX{target} device or programmed into serial memory on the {target} card.
Communication with the PE0003 is via high-speed USB 2.0.
PE0003 Questions
Q. The PE0003 driver bundled with the PE0003 Installation Package and the EC0003 Installation Package does not work with Windows XP.
A. Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft and so driver support for signed drivers in Win XP has ended. Regrettably, our drivers will no longer support XP.
This simple script is used to turn on and off an LED on the PE0003 without affecting the other port pin states.
For those not familiar with bit masking. This type of function will be used regularly in PE0003 scripts and in code where 'bit set' and 'bit clear' operations are not available.
