Introduction

The Holt ADK-6131API Application Development Kit demonstrates the broad feature set of the HI-6131

Multi Terminal IC for MIL-STD-1553. The 2-board assembly and C project software reference design

provide a ready-to-run evaluation platform demonstrating concurrent operation for any combination of

Bus Controller, Bus Monitor and one or two Remote Terminals. For convenience, this kit includes IAR

Systems Embedded Workbench® for ARM, and a fully integrated debug interface for the ARM Cortex M3

microcontroller.

This guide describes how to set up and run the board. Additional support material and all required project

software are found in the included Holt CD-ROM. A version of the demonstration software is already

programmed into the microcontroller flash; the board is operational right out of the box without installing

or running the provided software development tools.

The ADK-6131API ADK demonstrates the Holt API library on the same hardware as the ADK-6131

development kit. The ADK-6131 kit development uses low level 6131 drivers and demonstration code

written in ANSI ‘C’ without high level APIs. See document AN-6131.pdf for more information on this kit.

Hardware Design Overview

Separate schematics and BOM’s documents are included on the Holt CD-ROM.

The detachable HI-6131 board can be separated from the provided MCU board for connection to a user-

supplied alternate microprocessor or FPGA board. The inter-board headers are located on 0.1” (2.54 mm)

grid for compatibility with generic prototyping boards. All host interface signals go through the inter-board

headers. Numerous HI-6131 configuration pins (and the Remote Terminal address setting pins) are

controlled by DIP switches on the upper HI-6131 board; these signals are not available on the inter-board

headers.

The lower ARM Cortex M3 board is based on the flash-programmable Atmel AT91SAM3U-EK

microprocessor. A 4-signal Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) clocked at 16MHz (20MHz is possible) connects

to the HI-6131. A UART-based serial port provides RS-232 console I/O (optional). An uncommitted USB

2.0 port is available for future expansion. Two pushbuttons are available for software interaction. A RESET

pushbutton resets the ARM microprocessor, which in turn controls the HI-6131 Master Reset signal.

The ARM Cortex M3 board includes “J-Link On Board” debug interface, licensed from www.segger.com,

providing out-of-box readiness without having to buy a costly JTAG debug cable. The kit includes a simple

USB cable for connecting the board’s debug interface to your computer. (For users already owning an

ARM debug interface with ribbon-cable connector, an ARM-standard 2x10 debug connector provides

debug connectivity. In this case, jumper JP2 on the bottom of the lower board should be soldered closed

to disable “J-Link On Board”.)

The 64K serial EEPROM is not demonstrated on this kit. For information on the AUTO initialization feature

of the HI-6131 using the EPPROM see document AN-6131.pdf for the non Holt API version of the demo kit

software.

Holt API Host Memory Considerations

Holt API uses C malloc() functions to allocate memory from ARM Cortex M3 internal SRAM for API host

buffers. The total amount of SRAM available on the selected Atmel ARM Cortex M3 MCU is 48K bytes.

This SRAM is shared for all C code static, dynamic variables including the stack and heap. The 48K bytes

are adequate for the demonstrations in this software. User SRAM requirements depend on number of

enabled 1553 terminal modes and buffer size(s) needed for the application.

If more memory is required, choose a processor with more SRAM or augment the processor with external

SRAM. The Holt ADK-6130-2 board is an example that uses the same Atmel ARM Cortex M3 processor

with an additional 256K byte external SRAM memory. See AN-6130-2.pdf for this example. Note: The ADK-

6130-2 uses a Holt HI-6130 protocol IC with parallel bus interface (not SPI) and the SRAM memory

expansion also uses the MCU external bus interface.

There are alternative MCUs with more internal SRAM. For example NXP offers “Kinetis” ARM Cortex M4

microcontrollers with up to 256K bytes internal SRAM. NXP offers the Kinetis ARM Cortex M4 in SPI-only

(as well as SPI and External Bus Interface) configuration. A SPI-only selection could replace the ARM Cortex

M3 on the board we are using here, with up to 256K bytes internal SRAM.

Initial Kit Set Up

The Application Development Kit is pre-programmed to concurrently operate as a Bus Controller, SMT

Bus Monitor and two independent Remote Terminals. Terminal addresses for the two RTs are preset using

DIP switches, before applying power. The two 6-position DIP switches should already be set with these

address values, plus odd parity. The RT1 DIP switches should be set to RT address 3 (0-0-0-1-1-parity 1),

RT2 should be set to RT address 1 (0-0-0-0-1-parity 0), to work with the demonstration program utilized

by the preprogrammed Bus Controller message repertoire. The two 6-position DIP switches should

already be set with these address values, plus odd parity and match the board photo on page 2. The user’s

guide, source code and software documentation sometimes refers RT1 as just RT.

1. The PC will need a serial (COM) port and a “terminal emulation” program like TeraTerm. Most

computers no longer have RS232 com ports so will require a serial-to-USB adapter, supplied with

the ADK. Connect this to the computers USB port and the 9 pin connector to the ADK board.

2. If using Windows 2000 or Windows XP, you can use HyperTerminal for terminal emulation. Open

HyperTerminal by clicking Start then All Programs; click the Windows Accessories then

Communications program group. Double-click HyperTerminal to run it. Skip the next paragraph.

If using Vista or Windows 7…

HyperTerminal is not included with these versions of Windows. Install the free open-source

terminal emulation program, TeraTerm 4.71, by running the provided teraterm-4.71.exe installer

program from the Holt CD. Accept the license agreement stating redistribution is permitted

provided that copyright notice is retained. The notice can be displayed from the TeraTerm window

by clicking Help then clicking About TeraTerm. Continuing to install…

Accept the default install destination and click Next.

At the Select Components screen, unselect all options except Additional Plug-in =

TTXResizeMenu and click Next.

Select the installed language, then click Next.

Accept the default Start Menu folder, then click Next.

Select any desired shortcuts, then click Next.

At the Ready to Install screen, click Install.

Run the TeraTerm program. At the New Connection screen, select (x)Serial and choose the

selected COM port. Click Setup then Serial Port to open the serial port setup window. Choose

these settings: Baud Rate: 115200, Data: 8 bits, Parity: none, Stop: 1 bit, Flow Control: none.

3. After configuring the Console port, connect the DB-9 serial cable to the PC.

4. Do not connect the included USB debugger cable between the DEBUG port on the lower (MCU)

board and the PC until instructed to, later.

5. To observe bus activity, connect an oscilloscope to the red test points labeled BUS A and BUS B.

The test point labeled ACTIVE is a convenient scope trigger signal that goes high at start of

message and goes low at message completion.

6. If not connected by cable to actual MIL-STD-1553 buses, provide resistive dummy loads for buses

A and B by connecting a 75 Ω 1/2 Watt (or any value between 70-80 Ω) resistor across each pair

of red and black Bus test points. (For this demonstration, half-Watt resistors are adequate

because duty cycle is sufficiently low. When using the on-chip HI-6131 to generate BC messages

directed to on-chip RTs, use external 75 Ω resistor loads. When using a bus coupler to connect to

actual MIL-STD-1553 buses, do not use the 75 Ω dummy load resistors.

7. Set SW8 configuration DIP switches labeled AUTOEN and COPYREQ off (down position). These

switches are not used by this version of the demo program so they can be repurposed by the user.

8. Plug-in the provided 5V DC power supply and connect the cable to the power input jack on the

lower circuit board. If TeraTerm is running and configured correctly, the command menu below

should appear in the console window.

9. This menu appears and three green LEDs will flash momentarily whenever the board power is

applied, or when the RESET pushbutton is pressed. After verifying correct TeraTerm

communication with the evaluation board, the terminal set up can be saved by clicking Setup then

Save Setup.

The dates and times shown will differ from the screen captures shown below.

General Structure of Demo Functions

The Holt API demonstration program is contained in module demos.c. The Holt API runtime library is

contained in the library file “HI-613x API LIB.a”as executable object code. File demos.c

contains the demo initialization API function calls supporting demonstrations executed from the console

menu to initialize the BC, RT,RT2 and monitor terminals. Key presses are detected in console.c

which is called from the main loop in main.c and executes demo functions in demos.c.

Commands ‘A’ and ‘N’ transmit BC commands can be viewed on an oscilloscope and optionally display

the message traffic data on the console using the ‘K’ and ‘T’ command sequence. These demos

demonstrate how Holt API’s are used to generate BC Asynchronous messages, Major/Minor frames, low

priority and high priority messages. View these messages with external MIL-STD-1553 test equipment or

view them with an oscilloscope.

This exercise uses the internal BC to transmit messages, so message traffic data is displayed on the

console. Since the internal BC, RTs and SMT share the same bus pins, the RT’s and SMT monitor

terminals receive the BC messages. If an external BC is already connected to the bus jack though a bus

coupler, it is okay to leave it connected, but disable any external BC transmissions that will conflict with

the on-chip BC transmissions.

For the following demonstrations all four terminals in the HI-6131 API demo program are enabled and

initialized by console commands.

BC and RT MT Mode.

This demonstrates BC, RT and MT all together and displays the traffic data on the console.

1. Press command ‘B’ to enable the RT.

2. Press command ‘K’ to enable the RTMT demo.

3. Press command ‘T’ (or spacebar) to display RT traffic on the console. Command ‘T’ toggles on

and off alternately to enable or disable the RT traffic shown on the console. Using the ‘T’

command relies on prior execution of command ‘K’.

4. Press command ‘A’ to start the BC transmitting messages.

Messages will display rapidly on the screen, Press the space bar to stop the console output. The

console should freeze and look similar to the screen below. Press space bar again to restart the

console output. Using the space bar does not stop BC transmission or prevent RT or MT message

reception; it only stops console output.

Some of the BC commands are RT to RT. The BC commands to RT3 only shows no errors but RT

to RT commands to RT1 and RT3 will show “ ERROR: NORES” (no response) since there’s no RT

at address 1.

To see these same messages without the “ERROR:NORES” enable RT2 by pressing the ‘C’

command and repeat the messages. RT2 will now receive and acknowledge the messages to RT2

which is set to RT address 1 by DIP switches.

The Bus A green LED flashes rapidly (but appears continuously lit) with this demo.

5. BC Low Priority Asynchronous Message Insertion

Command ‘L’ inserts a low priority message into the scheduled BC message list. Low priority Inserted

messages occur upon completion of any BC minor frame in-process when insertion is requested.

First, enable the RT by pressing ‘B’ then Press ‘A’ to enable the BC transmission. Press ‘L’ to transmit

three extra messages on Bus B. Bus B is used to make it easier to see on the scope and the Bus B LED

should flash. If the RT is not enabled, retry messages appear on Bus B; this makes it difficult to see

the three inserted messages. This will only work once after a power up or RESET.

The screen shot of these three messages are shown below captured by a Ballard USB UA1133 tester.
