5 Power up the player
Here are some VERY IMPORTANT tips when powering the player.
Do not connect the hard disk for the moment. We must verify if the board work perfectly before.
Connect a 7-15V supply to the power connector (J5). DON'T connect your 30 Amps PC supply
or similar, but use a power supply with current limiting, or use a series resistor of about 22 - 33
Ohms. This will limit the current to about 50mA.
When the power is connected, D1 should be lit. If not, there's a power short circuit somewhere,
or the LED is mounted the wrong way. Next, check the VCC* voltage value. This should be near
to 5V.
But I'll assume that all goes well, and you can probably remove the series resistor. Now check
the voltage from the LP2980 regulator (IC5). Measure the voltage at the wires between L1/C5
and L2/C6. You should measure 3.0 Volt.
6 Program the boot loader
Before you can download the firmware via USB, you need to program the player with the boot
loader code. This has to be done using the in-circuit programming interface, which you can get
access with the programming connector (J1).
To program the bootloader you will need a piece of Windows software called “YAAP”, a parallel
port driver software and a programming adapter. You can download the application and the
parallel port driver here:
http://www.myplace.nu/avr/yaap/index.htm
. You can download the
latest version of the boot loader in the software section of this page:
http://www.myplace.nu/mp3/index2.htm
. If you are using the Nokia display, use the boot loader
including the character set (V3.00).
Step 1: Download and install DLPortIO Driver.
Step 2: Download the YAPP application, unzip and copy all the files to a directory of your
choice.
Step 3: Build and connect this programming adaptor to your YAMPP-3U. This
programming adaptor is derived from the Jesper’s Original programming adaptor.
