Making System Connections
The specific application determines the number of MMDS connections
required. At the very least, the platform board and EM must be
connected to the host computer and to a power supply. Cable
connections are explained in the sections that follow.
Host Computer
Connection
Use the 9-pin serial cable to connect a host computer’s 9-pin serial port
to the MMDS 9-pin serial cable connector. Note which computer serial
port is used. If the COM1 port (the default) is not used, the port number
must be specified in the MMDS software start-up command.
If the serial port is a 25-pin connector, use the provided 9- to 25-pin
adapter between the host serial port and the cable.
If the development system is operated in the RAPID environment,
RAPID must be configured to communicate through the proper serial
port.
Bus State Analyzer
Connection
If your work session includes bus state analysis, you may need the logic
clip cable assemblies. The two logic clip connectors, referred to as pods
A and B, allow external events to be captured in the analyzer. External
clock signals for the emulator and for the analyzer also can be input
through logic clip connections.
The pod A and pod B connectors are located on the right side of the
station module. Pod A is nearest the station module power supply.
These pod connections correspond to the cable A and cable B
selections available in the bus state analyzer configuration window.
Table 2
on page 31 gives pinout information for both logic clip
connections.
If you need only one logic cable assembly, connect it to either pod A or
pod B. Orient the cable connector so that its pin 1 connects to pin 1 of
the pod. The keyed plastic ensures proper orientation. Connect the other
end of the logic cable assembly to an external target point. Optionally,
