Direct/Indirect Write Mode
The Mindspeed EVM software has two modes of operation, and can be switched between them at any time by
clicking the “Direct Write” check-box located in the toolbar (see
Figure 3-8
).
Direct Write Mode
In this mode any changes made in the software are immediately written to the device without any further actions
necessary. When a direct-write occurs, the field will momentarily flash red to indicate that the write is taking place.
This applies throughout the interface, except for the “Direct Register Access” control (see
Section 3.2.5
), which still
requires that the “Write” button be clicked in order to commit a change.
Indirect Write Mode (Direct Write disabled)
In this mode, changes made in the software are not written to the device until “Write Changes” or “Write All” is
clicked. Any items that have been modified will appear in
bold italics
to make it clear that these items have not
been written.
Note that the buttons at the bottom of the tabpage only affect items on that tabpage.
Read All
Discards changes by re-reading the registers from the device.
Hide Changes
Temporarily reveals what the settings were before they were changed.
Write All
Re-writes every register on the current tabpage, even those that haven’t changed.
Write Changes
Writes only those items that have changed (items in
italics
).
