Platform
A platform is a category of hardware implementations. Most
hardware templates, including standard and user-defined
hardware templates, are implemented using the Custom
platform. The Custom platform is suitable for all
user-defined hardware.
If you are building a device application to be downloaded into
a device that has an SMX transceiver, select LTM-10 or
LTM-10A platform and then specify the transceiver type
supported by your device in the Transceiver Type property.
Select one of the following hardware platforms:
• Custom. Select this if you are not using an LTM-10,
LTM-10A, or LonBuilder
®
Emulator. This is the default.
• LTM-10.
• LTM-10A.
• LonBuilder Emulator 3150.
Transceiver Type
Select the transceiver type supported by the Neuron Chip or
Smart Transceiver model selected in the Neuron Chip
Model property. Each transceiver type identifies a unique set
of transceiver parameters that are included in the application
image. The default transceiver type is TP/FT-10.
Neuron Chip
Model
Select the Neuron Chip or Smart Transceiver model supported
by the hardware platform selected in the Platform property.
The default Neuron Chip model is FT 5000.
External Clock
Speed
Displays the frequency of the external crystal used for the
Neuron Chip or Smart Transceiver model selected in the
Neuron Chip Model property.
For Series 5000 chips, the external crystal has a frequency of
10MHz; however, you can change the system’s internal clock
speed from 5MHz to 80MHz. To do this, you change the
frequency at which the Neuron Chip or Smart Transceiver
runs in the Clock Multiplier property.
For Series 3100 chips, you can select a different clock speed
from the list of those available for the selected Neuron Chip
and transceiver type, or for the selected Smart Transceiver.
This property is unavailable for those Neuron Chip or Smart
Transceiver models that support only one external clock
speed. See your Neuron Chip or Smart Transceiver data book
for more information.
Clock Multiplier
For Series 5000 chips, you can select the frequency at which
the Neuron Chip runs to modify the system clock speed. You
can select multipliers of ½, 1, 2, 4, and 8. The default
multiplier is 8.
This property is fixed at ½ for the Series 3100 chips.
System Clock
The effective clock speed of the application processor. This is
the product of the External Clock Speed and the Clock
Multiplier.
