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. |

========= |
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the BOM.ods is outdated but still provided some links for the parts. |
