Script Mode Demonstration Design

The DIP switch setting allows setting the core in script mode. In this mode the BRM cores are not
initialized. The core is set up via the UART interface.
Setting Up the Demonstration Design
The Core1553BRM Development Kit boards come preprogrammed with demonstration designs. If
you want to reprogram the FPGA or if the FPGA is programmed with a different design, follow the
steps in "Programming the Fusion FPGA on M1AFS-ADV-DEV-KIT" section on page A-29
the FPGA. Once the FPGA is programmed with the correct design, you need to set up the board
according to the steps below:
1. Connect one end of the USB mini cable to USB port J2 on the M1AFS-ADV-DEV-KIT board
(labeled USB2 in
2. Connect one end of a 9 V power supply to power input J3 on the M1AFS-ADV-DEV-KIT
board (Figure

3. Set the DIP switch at S1 to the default configuration of 00011010.
Note: These switches are wired to inputs of the FPGA so that open will correspond to logic 1 (4.7 K
pull-up to 3.3 V) and closed will correspond to logic 0 GND.
4. Determine the COM port assigned to the USB interface. Open the Windows Control Panel
and double-click the System icon. Click the Hardware tab and click the Device Manager
button. Expand the Ports (Com & LPT) item in the Device Manager. Look for the CP2102 USB
to UART Bridge Controller in the list of ports. The COM port in parentheses identifies the
COM port assigned to this device
the CP210x_Drivers driver. Refer to

5. Open HyperTerminal and set the communications parameters as shown below. Set the COM
port to match the USB serial port of the board, as shown in
Figure 2-4) and connect the other end to the USB port on your PC.
