9 Remote Supervisory Chip (U8)
Space U8 is intended to be populated by a Remote Supervisory Chip
1
.
This IC can initiate a boot sequence via a serial interface, such as
RS-232 or CAN. The RSC can start the PHYTEC FlashTools without
requiring a manual release of the boot sequence on the
phyCORE module applied via a BOOT jumper or button. This enables
a remote controlled software update of the on-board Flash device.
This function can be controlled by various interfaces. Solder Jumper
J20 configures the remote download source. The Remote Supervisory
Chip is under development and not available at this time.
Accordingly, Jumper J20 remains open in the default configuration.
Refer to section 3.13 for details on jumper settings for J20.
This feature will be available on future phyCORE modules.
