QSG-3717
HI-3717 Evaluation Board
Quick Start Guide
August 18, 2011
Introduction:
The Holt HI-3717 Evaluation Board demonstrates most of the features of the HI-3717 ARINC 717
Protocol IC. ARINC 717 is a communication protocol used between the Digital Flight Data Acquisition
Unit (DFDAU) and the Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) used on commercial aircraft.
This guide demonstrates how to get set up and running quickly. Additional support material and
software are provided in the included CD-ROM. Since the demo code is programmed into the
microcontroller flash, the demo is operational right out of the box. No software development tools are
needed to run the demo.

Is there a development process for the HI-3717 chip? Or develop a DEMO?

The development process for the HOLT HI-3717 chip does not require software development tools to run the demo. The demo code is pre-programmed into the microcontroller flash, making the demo operational out of the box. Users can use the included CD-ROM for additional support materials and software. For more advanced use, the demo project is compatible with Freescale CodeWarrior.

    For normal operation ensure SW2 – 4 (MRST) is in the open position, otherwise the MCU is held in the reset state. Main Board Jumpers Some jumpers do not apply to the HI-3717 so they will typically be shown as NA. JP1 - NA, JP2 - NA JP3 - VDD jumper to J5 VLOGIC. Remove JP3 to measure ICC.
