Applications
A global interface card for use with evaluation kits  for use with CML's new generation of ICs, including FirmASIC®-based products.

Description
The PE0002 EvKit interface card is a global interface system for use with evaluation kits for CML's new generation ICs, including FirmASIC®-based products.
This greatly simplifies the approach to the evaluation and design-in process.

Based around the operation of Hyperstone's E2 32-bit RISC/DSP Microprocessor and using a PC GUI, the information generated is formatted, timed and delivered to the target IC via its Evkit's C-BUS serial interface. The supplied control software can be used to perform C-BUS read and write operations or to run scripting functions.

In the case of FirmASIC® IC evaluations, the Function ImageTM can be loaded onto the CMX{target} device or programmed into serial memory on the {target} card.

Communications with the evaluating PC GUI are via a USB port.
