Pod configuration

---

Pin Description

The signal pins of easyDSP pod are shown below . Its pin pitch is 2.54mm.
For easyDSP connector in your board, please use either BHS-01-10P or XG4C-1031 connector.
Note the arrow mark on the connector.

Pod type 1 and 2 : Pod for TI C2000 MCU

#	name	Description
1	RX	Output pin connected to RX of MCU
2	GND	Ground pin. Connected to #10 pin internally to easyDSP pod.
3	TX	Input pin connected to TX of MCU
4	VDD	Voltage bias connected to VDDIO of MCU (for example 3.3V)
5	/BOOT	Output pin with pseudo open collector.  It becomes Low when entering bootrom by resetting MCU. Otherwise, no signal output from this pin.
6	reserved	Do not connect
7	reserved	Do not connect
8	reserved	Do not connect
9	/RESET	Output pin with pseudo open collector. It b ecomes Low when resetting MCU. Otherwise, no signal output from this pin.
10	GND	Ground pin. Connected to #2 pin internally to easyDSP pod.

Pod type 3 and 4 : Pod for Arm Cortex series and other cores (RX)

#	name	Description
1	RX	Output pin connected to RX of MCU
2	GND	Ground pin. Connected to #10 pin internally to easyDSP pod.
3	TX	Input pin connected to TX of MCU
4	VDD	Voltage bias connected to VDDIO of MCU (for example, 5V or 3.3V)
5	/BOOT	Output pin with pseudo open collector.  It becomes Low when entering bootrom by resetting MCU. Otherwise, no signal output from this pin.
6	reserved	Do not connect
7	BOOT	Output pin with pseudo open emitter.  It becomes high when entering bootloader by resetting MCU. Otherwise, no signal output from this pin.
8	reserved	Do not connect
9	/RESET	Output pin with pseudo open collector. It b ecomes Low when resetting MCU. Otherwise, no signal output from this pin.
10	GND	Ground pin. Connected to #2 pin internally to easyDSP pod.

 

/BOOT, BOOT pin

These pins determines how MCU will boot after reset, either boot with flash to execute user program or boot with bootmode to conduct RAM booting or flash programming.
These pins are not used at all (= no signal output, pseudo open state) when MCU boot with flash.
They are active only when MCU boot with boot mode as below :
 

MCU	Used  boot pin	boot pin operation	boot pin diagram
C2000 TX TXZ3 LPC1x00 S32 UCD3138 XMC4 XMC7 Kinetis MCX	/BOOT	/BOOT pin outputs low when MCU reset. Around 1sec after MCU reset is released, /BOOT pin becomes pseudo open state but due to external pull up resistor, it becomes high status.
AM2x TM4C MSPM0 MSPM33 PSOC C3	BOOT	BOOT pin outputs high when MCU reset. Around 1sec after MCU reset is released, BOOT pin becomes pseudo open state but due to external pull down resistor, it becomes low status.
STM32	BOOT	BOOT pin outputs high when MCU reset and keeps it during boot mode period. BOOT pin becomes pseudo open when exiting boot mode (= exiting from Ram booting or flash dialog) but due to external pull down resistor, it becomes low status.
RA RX	/BOOT	/BOOT pin outputs low when MCU reset. /BOOT pin becomes pseudo open when entering "Command acceptance phase" during boot mode but due to external pull up resistor, it becomes high status.
XMC1 PSOC4	not used	pseudo open state

The MCU pins connected to the /BOOT and BOOT pins can be used in the user program, as easyDSP maintains these pins in a pseudo-open state while the user program is running. However, no external output circuitry should be connected to these pins, as it would cause signal contention when the /BOOT and BOOT pins output their own signals.
 

LEDs

There are two LEDs to indicate the status as below. Both LEDs should be ON during easyDSP operation (not blinking).
'DSP' or 'MCU' LED is on : MCU controller board is now power supplied (= #4 pin is live with 3.3V)
'USB' LED is on : easyDSP pod is well connected with easyDSP PC program. It's ON when easyDSP project is open, OFF when easyDSP project is closed.
Note) for optic cable easyDSP, DSP LED of PC side pod and USB LED for MCU side pod are not working.
        no special meaning to the color of LED.
 

Connection to and Disconnection from PC and MCU

Don't make any physical connection or disconnection of easyDSP pod to/from PC and MCU during MCU operation. It makes unintentional reset to MCU.
In case you can not avoid connection/disconnection during MCU operation, connect PC first then MCU, disconnect MCU first and then PC. This will minimize the chance of unintentional reset to MCU.

Connection to PC

If possible, please connect easyDSP pod directly to PC (not via USB extension port). And please use the new USB cable to secure its connection quality.
