4. I/O Settings
The
I/O Settings
dialog for the Frontline SD unit has three radio buttons which
you use to select the
Physical Layer
. Generally, you will not change default
settings shown.
The default for
Physical Layer Selection
is
SDIO
, which you will use the
majority of the time.
If you know the
Physical Layer
is a Serial Peripheral Interface, select
SPI
.
If you are not sure if the
Physical Layer
is
SDIO
or
SPI
, select
Autodetect
.
The software will attempt to automatically determine the physical layer and
select it for you. Note, however, that
Autodetect
is not accurate every time.
The default
Voltage Level Selection
is
3.3 V
.
Click on the OK button when you have completed your I/O selections.
5. Start Capture
You might be thinking why I should select
Start Capture
before the hardware setup
is complete. You select
Start Capture
first is so that all pre-connection traffic is
captured. If you connect all the hardware before starting capture, you might miss
data.
So, now that the SD hardware is installed, devices
turned on and identified. It's time to sniff the
communication between the devices.
Select
Start Capture
on the
Control
window toolbar
or from the
Control
window
Live
menu.
6. Hardware Setup - Part 2
You have already seen how to connect the SD card adapter to the Frontline SD hardware and the USB cable to the analysis PC. Now let's
continue with the rest of the hardware setup.
There are two ways to complete the setup. First let's look at what to do if you are using the card that fits in the slot on the IC board.
Then we will identify what to do if you want to wire the Pin Header because you do not want to use the standard SD form factor
connection.
