The phyCORE-TriCORE Development Board
PHYTEC Development Boards are fully equipped with all mechanical
and electrical components necessary for the speedy and secure start-up
and subsequent communication to and programming of applicable
PHYTEC Single Board Computer (SBC) modules. Development
Boards are designed for evaluation, testing and prototyping of
PHYTEC Single Board Computers in labratory environments prior to
their use in customer designed applications.
1.1
Concept of the phyCORE Development Board
The phyCORE-TriCORE Development Board in EURO-card
dimensions (160 x 100 mm.) provides a flexible development platform
enabling quick and easy start-up and subsequent programming of the
phyCORE-TC1130 or phyCORE-TC1796 Single Board Computer
module. The Development Board design allows easy connection of
additional expansion boards featuring various functions that support
fast and convenient prototyping and software evaluation.
This modular development platform concept is depicted in
and includes the following components:
•
The actual
Development Board
(1), which offers all essential
components and connectors for start-up including: a power socket
enabling connection to an
external power adapter
(2) and
serial
interfaces
(3) of the SBC module at DB-9 connectors (depending
on the module, up to two RS-232 interfaces and up to two RS-485
or CAN interfaces).
•
All of the signals from the SBC module mounted on the
Development Board extend to two mating receptacle connectors.
A strict 1:1 signal assignment is consequently maintained from the
phyCORE-connectors on the module to these expansion con-
nectors. Accordingly, the pin assignment of the
expansion bus
(4)
depends entirely on the pinout of the SBC module mounted on the
Development Board.
