sequences.  This name will change from machine to machine and from user to user 

when ever Tracer is installed.  If you enter that directory, you will notice it contains 

one or more directories, again consisting of random character sequences. 

At this point, you must look thru each of the ‘child’ directories and look for the RFID 

Tracer.exe program and RFID Library dll files.  The library file names of interest are 

rfid.dll, rfidtx.dll and cpl.dll.  The directory that contains all four of these files is the 

directory where you should place the RFIDcomm.cfg file. 

Connect the serial cable to the debug port and to your PC. Open a terminal program 

such as HyperTerminal.  Open a session with the settings 8N1 115kbps. Make sure the 

USB cable is plugged into the PC and the development platform and the serial cable is 

connected to the debug port of the development platform. Power up the development 

platform. 

In the HyperTerminal window, press the space bar before board boots to start the 

debug shell. 

Enter the following commands to switch between USB/UART 

FOR SERIAL 

->write_oemcfg 

Valid OEM address are from 0x00 to 0xA2 

Enter OEM config word ADDRESS 

32 hex format NNNNNNNN, q to abort->000000A0 

Enter OEM config word DATA 

32 hex format NNNNNNNN, q to abort->00000001 

write succeeded 

 

FOR USB 

->write_oemcfg 

Valid OEM address are from 0x00 to 0xA2 

Enter OEM config word ADDRESS 

32 hex format NNNNNNNN, q to abort->000000A0 

Enter OEM config word DATA 

32 hex format NNNNNNNN, q to abort->00000000 

write succeeded 

 

Reboot the system then start Tracer. If you Tracer was already open, then you must 

close and restart the application. 

 

Option 2 

Use the code example in the “R1000 Firmware Datasheet” Appendix D.

Next Steps 

Once the basic operation of the Intel R1000 Development Platform has been verified, 

we advise that you become familiar with the capabilities of the Intel R1000 and related
