Jumper Settings
The FT 6000 EVB contains multiple sets of jumpers that you can use to configure the board. The
following sections display the locations of the jumpers on the FT 6000 EVB, show the default settings
of the jumpers, and describe how to use the jumpers to enable and disable various connections on the
board.
Performing In-Circuit Programming of the External Serial Memory Device
The JP23 shrouded connector provides support for third-party in-circuit device programmers, which
you can use to update the data in the external serial flash device used by the FT 6000 Smart
Transceiver on the FT 6000 EVB. This provides an alternative to loading application images into the
external serial memory device over the TP/FT-10 network. Note that the IzoT NodeBuilder tool only
supports downloading application images over an IzoT network; they do not directly support loading
application images through third-party device programmers or memory ICE. Echelon has tested a
third-party in-circuit programmer, the Aardvark™ I2C/SPI USB Host Adapter from TotalPhase™, as
described below.
To perform in-circuit programming of the external serial flash memory device on the FT 6000 EVB,
you use the programmer's SPI interface. Echelon has tested the Aardvark™ I2C/SPI USB Host
Adapter from TotalPhase™ (Part No. TP240141), with the 10-pin ribbon cable from TotalPhase (Part
No. TP240212), as one method for creating this connection (for more information on this adapter, go
to the TotalPhase Web site at
www.totalphase.com/products/aardvark_i2cspi/
). The Aardvark has six
signal lines: two for the I
2
C interface (SDA and SCL), and four for the SPI interface (MOSI, MISO,
SCL, and SS/CS).
To set up the Aardvark for programming the serial flash chip, choose the Device menu, and select the
SPI Winbond W25Q80 part as shown below:
Load the target *.HEX file into the Aardvark programmer's buffer to prepare for programming the
serial flash chip:
