Aardvark and Text-Mode Script Programming Process
To Program the TS8000x using the Aardvark I2C/SPI Adapter, follow the steps below:
1.
Connect three of the Aardvark ribbon cable pins to the TS8000x target board:
Function Aardvark
pin
Target
Board
Clock
1
SCL
Ground
2
GND
Data
3
SDA
1.
On the TS8000x target board, short the
Debug
pin to
GND.
2.
Connect the Aardvark I2C/SPI Adapter to the PC with a USB
cable.
If the driver was installed correctly, a message similar to the one
shown at right should be briefly displayed. Be sure that the device
name begins with “
Total Phase…
”, which indicates the proper
driver is in use.
3.
Apply power to the TS8000x target board.
4.
In the subdirectory ..
\TS8000x Flashing\TS80002_Programming\Executable
, click on
programming.bat
.
(
Note that the batch file specifies 160815a_TX_LOW_POWER_TS51223_enc.BIN as the firmware
image file to use. Verify that this file is in this subdirectory. Note that if you wish to use a different
image, it should be placed in this folder and the batch file modified to reference it instead.)
A window similar to the one shown to the
right should open.
The script detects when the boards are
connected and programs
the
parts
automatically. The operator doesn't need
to interact with the script.
When the final line “Please disconnect the
device” is displayed, the installation is
complete.
5.
You can now close the window, power down the Aardvark and the target board, and remove the
cables.
