Getting started with the XDPL8219 reference board using .dp Vision
software
Getting started
There are two options available to configure the IC based on the parameter values in .dp Vision:
1) Non-permanent for testing
2) Permanent for regular operation
1)
Test configuration
This function will download the parameter values from .dp Vision into the XDPL8219 RAM memory space, and it
will then be followed by an automatic IC start-up for application testing with the new configuration. As long as
the board is activated, the V
CC
is supplied.
Parameter configuration with this option is not permanent, because the loaded RAM content gets lost once the
IC supply voltage is turned off or the IC restarts due to certain protections. For detailed information, please
refer to the “dpvision User manual” in the “Documents” folder.
shows the procedures for using the test configuration function in .dp Vision to load the new parameter
values in the RAM and test the application with the new configuration.
Table 2
Test configuration procedures
Step
Instruction
1
Open configuration file (see example in
).
2
Ensure EN
UART,REPORTING
parameter is disabled and change the desired parameter value.
Note: If the EN
UART,REPORTING
parameter is enabled, the success of the test configuration cannot be
guaranteed, because .dp Vision will show an error due to being unable to get the status from
XDPL8219 with UART reporting, after the automatic IC start-up with the new configuration in RAM.
3
Ensure that the primary supply voltage (AC input) to the board is not active and the hardware
connection for configuration is OK based on
4
Press to supply power and establish a connection to the target XDPL8219. After this, XDPL8219
will be in configuration mode and the device status should change to .
5 (optional) Ensure that the LED output is connected to a load, and switch on AC input (e.g. 230 V AC).
After this, the board will not start because XDPL8219 is still in configuration mode.
6
Press
to test the configuration with target XDPL8219. After this, the IC will automatically start
normal operation with the new configuration and the window below will pop up:
Note: If the parameter configuration is equivalent to the pre-existing parameters, the XDPL8219
will not download them to RAM.
7
Press “Close” on the pop-up window.
8
To test another configuration, repeat these steps.
New configuration is successfully downloaded to
RAM and the application has started
