CONFIGURING THE EVALUATION BOARD
Whereas in the past, we provided scripts to configure our evaluation boards, due to the flexibility of the ADV8003, we strongly
recommend using the software driver to configure the board and evaluate the components.
Whether the software driver starts automatically depends on if a jumper is installed across Pin 1 and Pin 2 of JT7, as follows:
* If a jumper
is not
installed on JT7 pins 1-2, the application will automatically start the software driver after power-up or reset. At that point
the board can be configured using the console commands (or in a limited manner by the supplied infrared remote control)
* If jumper
is
installed on JT7 pins 1-2, the application will pause at the command prompt and not start the software driver in order to
allow the user to configure the board. The user would probably only do this if they wanted to experiment with configuring the board with
an external microprocessor.
The RS-232 command-line interface operates at 115,200 baud, eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit, and no flow control. Typing
help
via
RS-232 lists the commands that can be used to control the board as well as indicate the version of firmware and build date.
The SW driver is a collection of routines that configures the various devices via I2C. The RS232 output is used to provide useful
information back to the user. Registers can still be read/written from the command line, but anything that is written to a register can be
overwritten by the SW driver.
Since the commands for the software driver change frequently, we describe these in a separate document available in the EVAL-
ADV8005-SMZ support page on EngineerZone (https://ez.analog.com/docs/DOC-11128).
AVES3
AVES3 is a Windows®-based application that runs on a PC and allows the user to read and write registers on the ADV7842, ADV7625,
and ADV8005. It also displays the individual bit fields for each register and allows the user to read/write these individual bit fields. The
software supports RS-232, USB, and I
2
C (using the Total Phase Aardvark I
2
C/SPI host adapter).
Starting with AVES3, each evaluation board will have its own AVES3 folder which will contain files specific to that evaluation board.
The AVES3 folder for this board can be downloaded from the EVAL-ADV8005-SMZ support page on EngineerZone
(https://ez.analog.com/docs/DOC-11128).
