Board short description:

Wind River's ARM reference design is a single board computer (SBC) that allows development to begin before the hardware is available. This board offers a solid platform for both hardware and software engineers to use in evaluating and prototyping designs that closely parallel their final applications. Like all Wind River reference designs, the ARM comes complete with detailed schematics, board support package (BSP), user documentation, and power supply. In addition to being a useful tool for hardware engineers, the reference design gives software engineers a live target on which to begin developing and testing application code. The ARM reference design includes an ARM7TDMI chip, which is a 32-bit RISC microprocessor. It comes standard with 16MB of SDRAM, plus 2MB of flash with access to all of the processor's communications channels via industry-standard headers and connectors. It also includes 10/100BaseT Ethernet, an LCD display, and dual CAN controllers for automotive applications.

4. JTAG - ULINK 2 - For ARM Keil On-chip Debugger with Trace and ICE options

 

Features:

  •  USB interface for fast PC communication (power supply via USB).

  •  Real-time in-circuit emulation up to full device speed including programmable clock sources.

  •  Flash Programming in parallel mode.

  •  8 buffered LEDs display I/O port 2 status information

 

      System Requirements:

 

  •  PC with available USB port,

  •  Windows 2000/XP/2003,

  •  One CD-ROM drive.

 

     New features in ULINK2 include:

 

 

ULINK2 may be used for:

 

 

Using the Keil µVision IDE/Debugger with the ULINK2 adapter, you can easily create, download, and test embedded applications on actual target hardware.

5. VisionICE-II - For launching Vxworks Application on to ARM7SBC

 

visionICE II is Wind River's second-generation high-speed hardware run control device, providing Ethernet connectivity and support for BDM, EJTAG, and JTAG connection protocols to microprocessors, with the ability to expand to provide real-time code execution trace.

 

With visionICE II, users have total visibility and control for all hardware breakpoints and cache memory content, as well as access to memory for downloading images and programming flash. The device's Ethernet connectivity for remote debugger connections gives developers freedom to work outside the confines of the laboratory environment.

 

Fully integrated with Wind River's visionCLICK and SingleStep with vision software debugging solutions, visionICE II provides the crash-proof debugging essential for getting projects to market on time. The device is employed by hardware engineers who need to get new designs running quickly; firmware engineers who write OS initialization code, device drivers, and interrupt service routines; and software engineers who must debug applications with complex problems.

 

Replaceable personality modules allow customers to use the same hardware to connect to BDM, EJTAG, or JTAG interfaces, and visionICE II may be scaled to include a connection to visionTRACE that allows real time code/data trace acquisition for processors that support this capability.
