EV8000
1.3 Quick Start
This section provides instructions for users who wish to experiment immediately with the
evaluation kit. A fuller description of the kit and its use appears later in this document.
1.3.1 Setting-Up
THE EV8000 COMES PRE-CONFIGURED FOR OPERATION AT 5.0V.
The µC board contains a socket for a 40-pin DIL PIC (or compatible) general-purpose µC, which
the user may re-program with his applications software. The µC board comes with a pre-
programmed PIC 16C74AJW or equivalent containing communications firmware and application
specific demonstration firmware for the EV8000 evaluation kit.
The kit also contains a 9-way D-type RS232 cable (for connection to a PC), as shown in the Block
Diagram of Figure 1. No board adjustments are required by the user.
The C-BUS connector on the signalling processor board, J1 or J2, should be linked to connector
J1 on the µC board with a 20-way flat cable, as shown in Figure 1, connecting pin 1 to pin 1.
Analogue signals can be input or monitored at connector J6.
BEFORE APPLYING POWER, PLEASE CHECK THE FOLLOWING:
ENSURE THE PIC µC IS PLUGGED INTO SOCKET U2 ON THE µC BOARD.
ATTACH THE 9-WAY RS232 CABLE TO CONNECTOR J3 ON THE µC BOARD AND THE
SERIAL PORT OF A PC.
ATTACH THE 20-WAY FLAT CABLE TO CONNECTOR J1 ON THE µC BOARD AND
CONNECTOR J1 ON THE SIGNALLING PROCESSOR BOARD. PIN 1 MUST CONNECT TO
PIN 1.
Connect any other equipment as shown in Figure 1.
Ensure the PC software supplied is set up as detailed in Section 1.6.3.1.
The EV8000 boards each have connections for a single 8 - 35V dc power supply. Only one board
(as shown in Figure 1) needs to be connected as power is supplied to the other board over the
20-way flat cable. If the µC board supplied is not used, then power will need to be applied to the
signalling processor board instead. Each board has its own power supply regulator chip, with a
jumper to select 3.3V or 5.0V (default) operation.
Ensure that the component value jumpers on each of the EV8000 evaluation boards are correctly
set for 3.3V or 5.0V operation. Please refer to Sections 1.6.1.1 and 1.6.2.1 for further details.
MAKE SURE BOTH BOARDS HAVE THIS LINK SET TO THE SAME VOLTAGE. DAMAGE
MAY RESULT IF THIS STEP IS NOT OBSERVED. DO NOT OPERATE THE
µC BOARD WITH ITS VOLTAGE SELECTION LINK REMOVED. THE µC BOARD AND
SIGNALLING PROCESSOR BOARD VOLTAGE SELECTION LINKS HAVE DIFFERENT
CONFIGURATIONS.
