Page 6: Overview
2. Overview The GR740-MINI board is software development and evaluation platform for the GR740 (a quad-core radiation tolerant microprocessor) and the CertusPro-NX FPGA. A variant of the CertusPro-NX qualified for use in space is available from Frontgrade in the form of the CertusPro-NX-RT family. shown in Figure 2.1. -
Page 7: Board Configuration
3.4. Power Up the board The GR740-MINI board is powered using either of the USB-C connectors (J1 or J2). Therefor there are two ways to power up the board and it is accomplished by attaching a 2-pin jumper to the 3-pin head (JP5), see Figure 3.1. -

Page 10: Grmon3 Hardware Debugger
The first step is to set up a debug link in order to connect to the board. The following section outlines which debug interfaces are available and how to use them on the GR740-MINI Evaluation Board. After that, a basic first inspection of the board is exemplified. -
Page 11: Debug-Link Alternatives For Certuspro
The previous sections have described which debug-links are available and how to start using them with GRMON3. The subsections below assume that GRMON3, the host computer and the GR740-MINI board have been set up so that GRMON3 can connect to the board. -

C and C++ applications for LEON2, LEON3 and LEON4. This section gives the reader a brief introduction on how to use BCC together with the GR740-MINI Evaluation Board. It will be demonstrated how to build an an example program and run it on the GR740-MINI using GRMON3. -
Page 15: Running Application With Grmon3
5.2.3. Running application with GRMON3 Once your application is compiled, connect to your GR740-MINI with GRMON3. The following log shows how to load and run the the application using breakpoint. Note that the console output is redirected to GRMON3 by the use of the -u command line switch, so that the application standard output is forwarded to the GRMON3 console. - Page 16 GRBOOT is available for GR712RC and GR740 based systems together with the appro- priate quality proofs, documentation and test suites. A version without references to the ESA requirements documents is also available.

Page 19: Example Bitstreams
7. Example Bitstreams 7.1. Overview For the GR740-MINI board, example bitstreams for the CertusPro-NX are available for download on the webpage www.gaisler.com/gr740-mini. The bitstreams are based on an architecture centered around the AMBA Advanced High-speed Bus (AHB), to which high-bandwidth units are connected. Low-bandwidth units are connected to the AMBA Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB) which is accessed through an AHB to APB bridge. -

To remove /dev/ttyUSB0: >>> ./ftdi_sio_detach.sh /dev/ttyUSB0 If there are no other FTDI devices connected to the host than the one on the GR740-MINI board, then /dev/ ttyUSB0-3 will normally correspond to FT4232HP port A-D. I.e. /dev/ttyUSB0 will be port A (GR740 JTAG) and /dev/ttyUSB1 will be port B (FPGA JTAG). -
