simtrace/hardware/README @ master
1 | 01fb365d | Kévin Redon | here you will find the files related to the hardware aspect of SIMtrace. |
---|---|---|---|
2 | |||
3 | the hardware for SIMtrace (1) and SIMtrace 2 is almost the same. |
||
4 | the main difference is the micro-controller. |
||
5 | SIMtrace (1) uses an Atmel AT91SAM7S micro-controller. |
||
6 | This micro-controller has been deprecated for some time and needed to be replaced. |
||
7 | SIMtrace 2 uses am Atmal ATSAM3S. |
||
8 | Because the micro-controller architecture is difference, the firmware has been rewritten from scratch. |
||
9 | The firmware for SIMtrace 2 will not work on SIMtrace boards with AT91SAM7S micro-controllers. |

21 | ========= |
||
22 | |||
23 | v1.5 |
||
24 | ---- |
||
25 | |||
26 | updated schematic: |
||
27 | - made more readable |
||
28 | - uses SAM3S micro-controller for SIMtrace 2 |
||
29 | - has several parts marked as Do Not Place (DNP) since they are not required anymore by the SAM3S |
||
30 | |||
31 | the board layout is the same as v1.4. |
||
32 | you just need to use the updated BOM with new micro-controller and fewer parts. |
||
33 | |||
34 | see SIMtrace.csv for DNP parts. |
||
35 | the BOM.ods is outdated but still provided some links for the parts. |
