The boot strap functions are controlled by address signals; the user can not disturb boot strap functions from outside, if the module configuration signals, described below, are correctly configured.Default module CPU configurationThe user has access to six configuration signals:LITTLE#/BIG_ ENDIAN which allows the user to select the endianess of the module OCD_EN# which allows the user to activate on-chip debuggingSW_CONF [3:0] which are reserved for the user; the user software can read out these signals through the GEN ID register (@ 0xA090_0210).

Selection can be made between ARM debug mode and boundary scan mode with the signal OCD_EN#.Identification of the moduleIn order to make it easier for software to recognize a module and especially a hardware variant of the module, a specific bit field made of 4-bits has been reserved on the module. This bit field can be read out through GEN ID register and correspond to A[12:9]. These configuration signals use the internal CPU pull-up resistor and can be pulled down through external population option 2k2 resistors.In the same way, 3 bits have been available on the module to identify the SDRAM configuration scheme. This bits correspond to A[19:17]. It is impossible for the user to disturb either the variant specific or SDRAM configuration specific bits from outside.The ConnectCore 9P 9215 and Wi-9P 9215 have also available 4-bit for platform identification. This bit field can be read out through GEN ID register and correspond to A[16:13]. Configuration of these signals is done through the SW_CONF pins. SW_CONF0 is connected to A13 through a 2k2 series resistor, and so on for the further SW_CONF pins. So this bit can be set high by leaving the corresponding SW_CONF pin unconnected and set low by connecting the corresponding SW_CONF pin directly low. The user can benefit from these pins to support application or platform specific software configurations.

By default, the module does not have a transformer or Ethernet connector; the base board must provide these parts. However, it's possible to populate a specific RJ45 connector with magnetics on the module. The appropriate RJ-45 is Midcom MIC2412A-5108W-LF3.A PHY clock of 25 MHz is generated in the PHY chip with a 25 MHz crystal.GPIO90 is controlling the PHY RESET# signal. This GPIO has a 2k2 pull-down resistor to GND populated on the module. GPIO90 must be asserted high before PHY can be used. When not used, the PHY can be put in low-power mode by asserting GPIO90 low. The PHY address on the MII bus is 0x7 (0b00111).The module does not only provide access to the Ethernet signals coming out of the PHY, but supports also two status LEDs: ETH_ACTIVITY# and ETH_LINK#. UART The module provides up to four UART ports with all handshake signals, used in asynchronous mode:Port A = GPIOO through GPIO7Port B = GPIO51 through GPIO58 Port C = GPIO8 through GPIO15Port D = GPIO59 through GPIO66The module supports baud rates up to 1.8432 Mbps in asynchronous mode. Each UART has a 64-byte TX and RX FIFO available. SPI The module provides one SPI port which can be used in either master or slave mode. Master: 33.33 MbpsSlave: 7.50 MbpsThe SPI module is made of four signals: RXD, TXD, CLK and CS#I2C bus The I2C bus is completely free on the module - no EEPROM and no RTC - since the RTC is in the processor. The I²C clock is max 400kHz.I2C signals are provided on the module with 4k7 pull-up resistors.
. . . . .www.digiembedded.com 37RTC The RTC is integrated in the processor and has its own 32.768 KHz clock crystal. When powered by VBAT, RTC unit will function until VBAT (X1.78) reaches a threshold of 2.3 - 2.4V - then the internal unit switches off.The battery current without +3.3V power applied is up to 40µA. The current is used to power the RTC, 32.768kHz oscillator and 64-byte internal RAM.When the development board ships from the factory the battery is disabled. To enable the battery, place a jumper on the development board at J2. WLAN In addition to the wired Ethernet interface, the ConnectCore Wi-9P 9215 module also offers an integrated dual-diversity 802.11a/b/g interface with data rates up to 54 Mbps. Two U.FL antenna connectors are provided on the module. ADC The ADC on the module provides 12-bit resolution / 1 MHz conversion capabilities, single-ended 8:1 multiplexed inputs, rail-to-rail input range, 12-bit output (DMA/direct), and external reference.FIM The Flexible Interface Modules (FIM) are based on two independent 8-bit DRPIC1655X cores running at 300 MHz maximum core clock (4x NS9215 bus speed) with 192-byte data and 2 KB program SRAM. The FIMs allow the flexible software-based selection of Digi-provided application specific hardware interfaces such as UART, SD/SDIO, 1-Wire, CAN bus, and others.External Address/Data BusThe modules provide a 17-bit address and 16-bit data bus with 2 external chip selects for peripheral connections.WLAN In addition to the wired Ethernet interface, the ConnectCore Wi-9P 9215 module also offers an integrated dual-diversity 802.11a/b/g interface with data rates up to 54 Mbps. Two U.FL antenna connectors are provided on the module.

An antenna switch is required to isolate the transmit signal from the receive signal. The antenna switch works by alternately connecting the antennas to either the transceiver PA transmit output or the transceiver receive input. To support this antenna sharing scheme, the module operates in half-duplex mode; receive and transmit operations do not occur at the same time.Antenna switch The antenna switch is a digitally controlled 2.4 GHz, 50 ohm, multi-function solid state switch, controlled by software.The receive port can be switched between antenna 1 or antenna 2. The transmit port can be switched between antenna 1 or antenna 2. The switch can handle >28dBm of signal on the transmit port. The insertion loss of the antenna switch is <0.5dB and the receive to transmit port isolation is >23dB.Signal name GPIO used CommentsUSER_BUTTON1 GPIO81 10k pull-up to +3.3V on the development boardUSER_LED1# GPIO82USER_BUTTON2 GPIO84 10k pull-up to +3.3V on the development boardUSER_LED2# GPIO85

If the rise time is too slow for the reset input, the hardware strapping options may be registered incorrectly. If the rise time of a positive-edge-triggered external interrupt is too slow, then an interrupt may be detected on both the rising and falling edge of the input signal.A maximum rise and fall time must be met to ensure that reset and edge sensitive inputs are handled correctly. With Digi processors, the maximum is 500 nanoseconds as shown:On the ConnectCore 9P 9215 JumpStart there was a measurement of 220ns rise time and 10ns fall time.negative edge inputtF max = 500nsecVIN = 2.0V to 0.8VtFreset_n or positive edge inputtR max = 500nsecVIN = 0.8V to 2.0VtR
