the available system clock rates for your device. However, the recommended internal clock
speed is 80MHz. The reason is that transient code must be brought in from flash on demand
and the time it takes to load such code is directly proportional to the internal clock speed.
See the IzoT NodeBuilder User’s Guide for more information.
The IzoT NodeBuilder Device Template wizard runs during the creation of a new device
template. This wizard provides an opportunity to select predefined hardware templates. At
a later point in the development process, you can access the hardware template through the
Development and Release folders of the project pane.
During initial device development, use the FT 6000 Evaluation Board hardware template. If
this template was not selected in the IzoT NodeBuilder Device Template Wizard, you can
access it by dragging the FT 6000 Evaluation Board icon from the Standard Templates folder
located in the Hardware Templates folder to the device template Development folder for the
device.
Release Hardware Setup
After you have developed, tested, and debugged the application on the FT 6000 EVB
Evaluation Board, you must create a hardware template to match the final target hardware.
The IzoT NodeBuilder Development Tool does not include predefined hardware templates for
general Series 6000 devices; you can use the FT 6000 Evaluation Board device template as a
basis for any custom Neuron 6000 Processor or FT 6000 Smart Transceiver device.
During the initial process of creating a device in the IzoT NodeBuilder Development Tool,
select this template in the NodeBuilder Device Template wizard. To access the template
later, drag the FT 6000 Evaluation Board icon from Standard Templates folder into the
Release folder for the device.
After you place the standard template icon in the User Templates folder, the NodeBuilder
Hardware Template Properties window opens with the values of the selected standard
template. Change the template's name and modify the template properties as follows:
• From the Hardware tab:
o
Specify the type of Series 6000 device (FT 6000 Smart Transceiver) from the
Neuron chip model dropdown list box.
o
Specify the clock multiplier value from the Clock multiplier dropdown list
box. This multiplier value specifies the system clock rate for the device.
• From the Memory tab:
o
Specify the correct external flash memory type using the Non-volatile
memory Type dropdown list box.
After you create the hardware template, drag the new hardware template to the device.
Drag the newly created icon in the User Templates folder to the Release folder of the device
template to complete the procedure.
You can update the user-defined hardware template at any time by double-clicking the
template icon. Your new changes affect any projects opened and compiled using this
template. A Build All might be required if you change a hardware template without making
any other changes.
