REva User Guide v3 1. Introduction The REva is a universal evaluation board that has been designed for quick and easy evaluation of a wide range of microcontrollers. It is made up of a generic REva motherboard with embedded RLink in- circuit programmer and debugger, and a daughter board featuring a target microcontroller.
VDD settings for 1.8V, 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers, ● USB powered, no external power required. ● This chapter gives an overview of the REva package and the physical characteristics of the ● motherboard. 2.2 Version history summary This table gives a brief overview of the major differences between REva versions.
3.1 Power supply You can choose the voltage to be used on the whole REva board as well as on the daughter board. On the REva v3.0 the daughter board automatically configures the regulator and defines the possible...
4.8V because of a low drop diode on the RLink. 3.1.3 Features A jack for the connection of auxiliary 9V power supply to power the REva board in broken ● apart mode. Should you require one, the 9V power supply should output 9V DC and have a 2.1 x 5 mm jack with the ground signal on the outside.
The REva motherboard cannot be used without a daughter board. This area can connect to a daughter board featuring a target microcontroller for evaluation. This area may also be used to connect the REva to another board with the appropriate connectors soldered to the bottom.
3. REva motherboard REva User Guide v3 3.5 Digital outputs area This area provides the user with simple visible debug tools. 3.5.1 Features 8 red transistor-driven LEDs that light up when the command is low. Current is supplied by ●...
REva User Guide v3 3. REva motherboard 3.6 Digital inputs area This area provides the user with immediately usable digital I/Os that can be used as interrupt sources or general purpose I/Os. 3.6.1 Features 1 two-position jumper to choose the polarity of the BT6 push button.
3. REva motherboard REva User Guide v3 3.7 Analog area This area groups features where the user validates the analog features of a target microcontroller. 3.7.1 Features A four-position analog connector, including: ● two analog inputs that can be connected directly to the ADC input pins of the ●...
REva User Guide v3 3. REva motherboard 3.8 Communication area This area groups the connectors for several communication standards. 3.8.1 Features I²C A three-position connector for I²C communication. ● Pull-up resistors on the SCL and SDA lines (useful at the end of the I²C line).
To use this area, the daughter board must be equipped with the corresponding bus driver. This is the only device dependent feature of the whole REva board. 3.10 Wrapping zone This area allows the implementation of other useful, basic features that are not available on the REva motherboard. It is made up of: 96 general purpose positions ●...
The functionalities of this embedded version of RLink v3.3 are the same as the standalone version. The desired communication protocol can be configured via the jumpers embedded on the REva. The next paragraphs describe configurations for the protocols used by the REva daughter boards.
Do not insert 1.8V daughter boards before the RLink and the REva have been broken apart. As ISP/ISD signals are connected directly between the motherboard and the RLink, it is mandatory to break these connections before using 1.8V target devices, as the RLink cannot work at this voltage.
5. Daughter boards 5.2 Dedicated documentation Each REva daughter board is described in a document dedicated to the family of microcontrollers it is based on. All these documents can be found in the same folder as this file. The next paragraphs give the document names.
REva User Guide v3 6. Motherboard schematics This section groups the schematics for version 3.3 of the REva motherboard. Only the schematics for the evaluation part of the board are provided, not those of the RLink part. For readability purposes, the motherboard schematics are also available as stand-alone pdf files.
7. Conformity ROHS Compliance Raisonance products are certified to comply with the European Union RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Directive (2002/95/EC) which restricts the use of six hazardous chemicals in its products for the protection of human health and the environment.
QuickStart is a loading method used by several different software applications, designed to speed up the loading time of their software. REva Raisonance evaluation platform – modular evaluation boards with main evaluation board (motherboard) and daughter boards featuring different microcontrollers...
