Smt398 + Dsp Tim - Sundance Spas SMT398 User Manual

Version 1.1.1

SMT398 + DSP TIM

You can fit the SMT398 coupled with a DSP module on any of Sundance carrier
boards: Stand alones or plugged in a Host.
The DSP module can then be used to provide the SMT398 FPGA configuration
bistream and to communicate with the host.
Please, follow these steps to install the SMT398 module and the DSP TIM on a
carrier:
1. Remove the carrier board from the host system or turn the power off for a stand-
alone carrier.
2. Place the SMT398 module onto one of the TIM sites on the carrier board.
• Preferably, fit the DSP TIM on the first TIM site. This TIM site
communicates with the host. (See your carrier board User Manual.).
This allows the processor board to handle the interactions with the Host
by software instead of having to implement a communication interface
in the SMT398 FPGA. (Global Bus interface or ComPort interface on
ComPort 3).
• Fit the ComPort communication links between the DSP TIM and the
SMT398 respecting the rules on polarity at reset. (See your carrier
board User Manual.)
• To configure the SMT398 FPGA using the DSP TIM, then you need a
link between the 2 modules: ComPort 3 of the SMT398 MUST be
connected to one of the transmit ComPort at Reset(ComPort 0,1 or 2)
available on the DSP TIM.
3. Make sure that the board is firmly seated, and then provide the 3.3V to the board
by screwing the SMT398 on the two main mounting holes with the bolts and
screws provided with the board.
4. Connect the SHB links if required by your application.
5. Replace the carrier board in the host system or power on for a stand-alone
carrier.
