Getting Started DC9006 Interface Card The DC9006 Interface Card is a USB interface for Eterna Evaluation & Development Mote such as the DC9018. The DC9006 may also be used as a programmer when connected to a DC9004B adapter card. In this case, the DC9006 provides access to any Eterna platforms that feature the recommended programming connectors.
Once drivers are installed for the Interface Board, one should use the same USB port each time the manager is connected to the computer. If a different USB port is used, the setup procedure will need to be repeated for that port. The Eterna Evaluation and Development Board Set require Windows 7 or Windows XP with SP3, or later versions of Windows.
Interface Card (DC9006A) Block Diagram The following diagram depicts the main features of the DC9006 Interface Card. Figure 2 Diagram of the DC9006 Interface Card (right) USB Interface The Interface Card communication interface to the USB host consists of four serial ports.
The third USB serial port provides access to the UARTC0_TX and UARTC0_RX lines of the LTC5800 (when JP1 “CLI OFF” jumper is not installed). A 2-wire serial interface is supported; typically 9600 baud, the baud rate is application dependant and is described in the Eterna Board Specific Parameter Configuration Guide.

Both P2 pins are connected to the isolated ground. For accurate current measurements, all JP1 headers shall be installed (see section: Mote Signal Disconnection).
Jumper Description Default Note disconnects the JTAG lines from one of the USB serial interface and should always be installed unless the USB JTAG interface is supported in the development or evaluation tools; "SPI OFF" to disconnect SPI lines, RESETn and FLASH_P_ENn; "CLI OFF"...
Programming Adapter (DC9004B) Introduction The DC9004B Programming Adapter enables the DC9006 Interface card to connect to a variety of interfaces on a customer board featuring an Eterna chip. The DC9004B supports the following customer board connections: • the 2x5 2mm pitch programming header, described in the integration guide; •...
Usage For a non-powered customer board, where the customer board is powered by the VSUPPLY and GND signals of the DC9004, simply connect the ribbon cable. For an independently powered customer board, first place the DC9006 JP7 jumper (see Figure 4) in the “OFF” position, then connect the ribbon cable. Note that in this configuration the DC9006 will draw some power from the customer board to power some of its circuitry.
In order to use the Tag-Connect TC2050-IDC cable, a surface mount footprint located on the customer board shall match the following pin numbering. CLI_RX RESETn CLI_TX VSUPPLY FLASH_P_ENn IPCS_MOSI IPCS_SSn IPCS_SCK IPCS_MISO Figure 8 Tag-Connect Programming Footprint JTAG and SWD Interfaces (2x5 2mm” pitch header) The following table describes the pinout of the JTAG P6 (MOLEX/878321020).
Pin # Signal Direction Pin # Signal Direction Notes: Pin#1 may be connected to VSUPPLY when P8 jumper is installed (not recommended with self - powered board). Signal direction is relative to the Programming Adapter board. The Tag-Connect cable TC2030-CTX-20 only support SWD mode and connect the following signals to the customer board footprint below.
Pin # Signal (J1) Dir. Pin # Signal (J2) Dir. FLASH_P_ENn Signal direction is relative to the Programming Adapter board Limitations Ribbon Cable Length Evaluation kits are shipped with the latest version for the DC9006. However, for early versions of the DC9006 (700-0184 rev5 or earlier), the maximum recommended ribbon cable length is 2 inches.
