Table 1—7: Main Memory 1.4.6 DRAM The main memory of the miniHiPerCam has a size of 16 Mbytes consisting of two 64 Mbit SDRAM chips. The memory timing is 5,1,1,1+1 for read and 3,1,1,1 for write bursts. This results in a bandwidth of 88 Mbytes/s for read and 133 Mbytes/s for write.
User's Manual Specification 1.4.7 Flash EPROM There are 8 Mbytes Flash EPROM installed on the miniHiPerCam. It holds the basic firmware for system initialization, booting, and configuration. After reset the Flash EPROM is mapped to $0000.0000. Since the Flash EPROM is only 16 bit wide, one burst read of the CPU lasts about 1.6 us.
1.4.11 COM1 Serial Port The SCC3 of the MPC823 is used as universal serial port (COM1) that can be programed via standard Windows CE functions. Standard DB9 serial cables can be attached to the miniHiPerCam via V- CABL-196 or V-ADAP-300. 1—10...

Starting a kernel from the flash file system by the bootloader makes updating the kernel simple. When WinCE is running a new version can be copied to the flash file system from a host computer overriding the old one. After reboot the new kernel is started. miniHiPerCam 2—1...
The registry can be stored to the flash file system with a single routine provided in the SDK. The bootloader copies it to RAM where it is loaded by the WinCE kernel. For details concerning the bootloader and the SDK see the documentation provided on the SDK CD. 2—2 miniHiPerCam...
Host To setup the boot parameter or work with the serial shell the debug port of the miniHiPerCam must be connected to a terminal via the shorter part of V-CABL-196 and a serial null modem cable. To access the miniHiPerCam over a network, a network cable must be connected.

Installation 3.3 Bootloader Configuration It is important to set up the miniHiPerCam properly before using it the first time. Setup your terminal to use a 38400 baud connection with 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no flow control. Starting the miniHiPerCam your terminal output should look like this.

This is the very last help, if the emergency image can not be started. As you need additional tools which are not provided on the SDK CD to do this download ask the ELTEC support for help. eeDump This command shows the contents of the eeprom. This is needed for support purposes only.
ELTEC V1.4 ( Fri May 18 09:06:46 2001 ) EL-Shell > The serial shell is written by ELTEC. See the online help shipped on the SDK CD for details. Here we will only show some commands needed to verify proper network connection.
