5.2 SMT148-FX comport firmware
The SMT148-FX uses a Xilinx Spartan 3 FPGA to drive most of the Comports
between the different sites.
Each TIM site has 6 Comports.
Four of these are connected directly to the Spartan 3 FPGA. These are Comports 0,
1, 3 & 4.
Comports 2 & 5 are connected between TIM sites in a pipe configuration as follows;
All the Spartan firmware are available in the directory:
$\Program Files\Sundance\SMT6002\Firmware\Smt148FX\SPARTAN
A firmware has been developed for the DVIP system, that one allows you to use all
the hardware capabilities and load all the bitstreams from the root.
“com.sundance.smt148-fx.sc3s1500.usb_default.DVIP.app”
Use the
SMT6002 to change the Spartan firmware at the address 0x0.
