Starting to work in REALVIEW PLATFORM BASEBOARD FOR ARM1176JZF-S ( SOFTWARE ARM DS -5 TOOLS)

I AM WORKING FIRST TIME IN ARM BOARDS. PLEASE GIVE ME THE STEPS OF RUNNING A C PROGRAM IN ARM1176JZF-S WITH ARM DS-5 TOOLS( THE LICENSE OF WHICH I HAVE AND WHICH IS ALREADY INSTALLED IN MY PC ) .I HAVE INSTALLED THE REAL VIEW SOFTWARE PROVIDED IN THE CD WITH THE BOARD. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RUN C PROGRAMS  IN ARM FVP ( IN ARM DS-5 TOOLS AND BARE METAL EXAMPLE PROGRAMS AND LINUX BASED PROGRAMS ( IN DS 5 TOOLS) . I HAVE CONNECTED WITH IT THE POWER SUPPLY( RED LED GOT ON) THEN AFTER PRESSING STANDBY BUTTON MANY LEDS TURNED ON. I HAVE CONNECTED TO PORT 1 THE USB( WHICH IS NOT GETTING RECOGNIZED( I. E. NO CHANGE IN MY COMPUTER)).

  • Sir what are the exact connections to be made? 1) Universal input power supply connection to the board 2) USB B TO USB A CABLE from board to pc .What else?(  When  I am making the usb connection LEDs are getting turned on but it is not getting visible in the

    port of device manager though I have installed the software provided with the kit).

    Sir are DStream etc not provided with the kit (PBBB76-BD-0232A)? Do we have to buy it separately means is it necessary for the mentioned purpose?

    The picture is of a PB1176 set up on a colleague's desk.  It shows the connections required to connect to the board for bare metal image load and debug using DS-5.  That is the power supply, and the debug connection via JTAG.

    A RVI/DStream unit is not bundled in with the board, you do need to purchase them separately.

    If you want to check the board is working, you could connect a serial cable.  The board has boot monitor which runs on power-up.  It gives access to features such as self test.

  • Thank you sir,

    I have procured the DSTREAM DEBUG AND TRACE UNIT (DSTRM-KT-0181A) and made appropriate connections. Even then when I press browse button in the connection I am getting cross symbol followed by" One entry must be selected" though there is nothing to select( and on top I am getting this" Configuration for connection type 'Bare Metal Debug' is not valid - Connection cannot be empty"). In the Device manager I can see  DSTREAM Hardware on USB( preceded by a trident symbol) under Universal serial bus controllers.

  • When you click the Browse button you see a window that looks like this

    In my case I can see the DStream connected directly to my computer (via USB), and a colleagues DStream which is on the local network.

    The DStream unit can take a couple of seconds to boot.  Make sure the Status LED is on (and no longer flashing).  Also it can take a couple of seconds for the Connect Browser to find the unit(s).

  • Thank you very much sir. Its working fine now in a different system, may have been a system configuration issue.

    Sir for general knowledge what is the use of the USB cable and ethernet? Please specify.

  • Do you mean in terms of DStream?

    If so, it's only really to do with who can see the DStream and where it is relative the PC running DS-5.  With a USB connection you can only connect from that PC.  With Ethernet, any PC that can see it on the network.  Ethernet is useful if several people are sharing a board or if you can't have the PC near the board for some reason.

  • Thank you sir,

    What else can with do with the USB( not in terms of DStream )?
