Scope and Purpose of the Document This document provides a User's Manual and Interface document for the “GR716-BOARD” Development and Demonstration board. The work has been performed by Frontgrade Gaisler AB, Göteborg, Sweden. Reference Documents GR716, Data Sheet and User's Manual",Frontgrade Gaisler, GR716-UM-DS,...
This document describes the GR716-BOARD Development Board. This equipment is intended to be used as a platform for the demonstration of the Frontgrade Gaisler GR716 RAD Hard Microcontroller. Furthermore, this board provides developers with a convenient hardware platform for the evaluation and development of software for the GR716 microcontroller.
20°C. All devices are standard commercial types, intended for use over the standard commercial operating temperature range (0 to 70ºC). Frontgrade Gaisler AB GR716-BOARD-UM Kungsgatan 12 | SE-411 19 Goteborg | Sweden May 2024, Version 1.1 +46 31 7758650 | frontgrade.com/gaisler...
Note that not all features and interfaces are available at the same time, and the configuration of on-board resistors plus programming of registers is required to access some of the features.

GR716-BOARD GR716 Microcontroller The Frontgrade Gaisler GR716 Microcontroller features a fault-tolerant LEON3 SPARC V8 processor, communication interfaces and on-chip ADC, DAC, Power-on-Reset, Oscillator, Brown-out detection, LVDS transceivers, regulators to support for single 3.3V supply, ideally suited for space and other high-rel applications.
Although the SPI memory chip can operate in a x4 data mode, only a x1 data mode is usable with the GR716. Figure 4-8 SPI Boot Memory Connectons Frontgrade Gaisler AB GR716-BOARD-UM Kungsgatan 12 | SE-411 19 Goteborg | Sweden May 2024, Version 1.1 +46 31 7758650 | frontgrade.com/gaisler...
Users using the board stand alone or design their own carrier board, must ensure that equipments connected via SPW have grounds that are connected together.

Program download and debugging to the processor is performed using the GRMON Debug Monitor tool from Frontgrade Gaisler ([RD4]). The GR716 microcontroller provides a UART based DSU interface for Debug and control of the processor by means of a host terminal, as represented in Figure 4-9.
I2C signals (SDA, SCL) are connected to the Expansion connector P2 to allow the current/voltage to be measured using an I2C master circuit. Frontgrade Gaisler AB GR716-BOARD-UM Kungsgatan 12 | SE-411 19 Goteborg | Sweden May 2024, Version 1.1 +46 31 7758650 | frontgrade.com/gaisler...
To perform program download and software debugging on the hardware it is necessary to use the Frontgrade Gaisler GRMON3 debugging software, installed on a host PC (as represented in Figure 4-9). Please refer to the GRMON3 documentation for the installation of the software on the host PC (Linux or Windows), and for the installation of the associated hardware dongle.
