Development Kit Quick Start Guide

Categories:

This document is a step-by-step guide that covers hardware and software installation procedures required to set up an EM250 or EM260 Development Kit with factory default settings. The Ember InSight Desktop provides an easy-to-use and effective way to analyze network traffic on an Ember system. Revision E (the two files are the same).

EM260 Radio Communication Module Technical Specification (UART/SPI version)

Categories:

This document provides the Technical Specification of the EM260 RCM. It describes the board-level interfaces as well as the key performance parameters of the Module. In addition, it provides the necessary information for a developer to either validate their design or integrate the RCM into their application. Revision E.

Why can't I get any serial data in/out of InSight Desktop Console's Serial 1 tab?

Categories:

The functionality of the serial stream on the Serial 1 tab has some hardware and software dependencies on the embedded side, so while you may suspect problems on the PC side, your computer’s setup probably doesn’t have anything to do with the problems in this case…

In order to use the Serial 1 tab through InSight Desktop Console, the following steps must be met (no specific order):

  • Firmware running on Ember node needs to be built with serial driver support (app/util/serial/serial.c) and Serial Port 1 should be initialized (via emberSerialInit()) in the software.
  • Firmware on node

What does the error "SIF_LOADB already low" mean, and what should I do about it?

Categories:

SIF_LOADB refers to the nSIF_LOAD line used for programming/debugging the EM2xx IC via the 10-pin InSight Port interface. As this line is active-low, it should typically be idling at a high logic level. If the programming utilities (em2xx_load or EM2UsbLoad) detect that the line is idling at a low level (not above the VDD_PADS threshold for high logic) before he programming mode is engaged, they will trigger an error to indicate that the line was in an unexpected state.

This kind of problem usually indicates a hardware issue.

EM260 Breakout Board Technical Specification (SPI/UART version)

Categories:

These documents provide the Technical Specification for the EM260 breakout board. The original version of this board (the "0470") has an Atmel AVR AtMega 32 - use document 2006 for this board. The latest version of this board (the "0471") has an AtMega128 - use document 2008 for this board. It describes the board level interfaces as well as the key performance parameters. In addition it provides the necessary information for a developer to validate their application design using the EM260 breakout board. 2006: Revision E. 2008: Revision A.
