"K51 AVR" EXPERIMENTAL CARD FOR 8051 AND AVR MICROPROCESSORS FAMILY

        

Through K51-AVR board it is given the chance to have a well-known and documented hardware, both under a software and a hardware point of view, to undertake any learning path which, starting form simple experiments, can improve experience and application complexity, up to being able to handle, with complete mastery and great competence, the basic elements of micro-controllers based electronics.
Under the task to make a Clock Watch its several circuital elements will be introduced, providing the complete know-how to get the informations about their use and data sheets. This will be possible through giving the Internet addresses of the documents available.
A simple application example will be provided for each new integrated circuit introduced , to make it immediately usable.
Several examples, with increasing level of complexity, will allow to learn and apply the new concepts, giving a continuous and constant cultural improvement. After a relatively short time You will have acquired the knowledge the will allow You to approach even the hardest jobs in a sistematic way and using the correct method.

One of the most important features of K51-AVR is the possibility to use the new microprocessors PHILIPS 89C51Rxx or ATMEL 89C51Rxx and
compatible supporting In System Programming, that is the programmation of the device and Without the requirement of any External Programmer. Below are described the step that must be executed:

1) develop the application program using a software tool capable to generate executable code

2) connetct jumper J5 in position 1-2 and J6 in position 1-2

3) connect the programming tension (+12 V for 89CRx+ or +5 V for 89CRx2) to pin 3 of CN6

4) connect the RS 232 serial line to a free COM port on a personal computer

5) supply the board

6) program the FLASH EPROM internal to the Microprocessor using the specific program. The programs and their updates are available for download directly from their manufacturer's websites and, currently, are FREE of Charge.

• PHILIPS: W I N I S P Documentation about WINISP
  
• Embedded Systems Academy: FLASH MAGIC Link.
  
• ATMEL: F L I P Documentation about FLIP

7) turn off the board

8) disconnect the programming tension from CN6, connect J5 in position 2-3 and connect J6 in position 2-3 to enable the microprocessor internal ROM

9) supply the board again: the appliction progral is executed from internal FLASH EPROM

I S P reduces the total development cost, infact it eliminates the need to use EPROM, EPROM programmer, FLASH EPROM, etc. For further information about I S P programming please refer to the specific technical documentation by PHILIPS

Serial communication line of K51-AVR board is buffered in RS 232. By software almost all the parameters of the physical protocol can be set (baud rate, stop bit) programming CPU internal registers.
K51-AVR is provided with a second RS 232 driver that, when connected to two microprocessor pins not yet used, can build a software serial line through the BASIC 8051 commands. To make the connection easier please refer to connectors CN1 (TTL signals) and CN3 (RS 232 signals).

For the software, having to choice a language Easy, Efficent and possibliy Low Cost, we consider the MCS-Electronics BASIC Compiler and the Wickenhaeuser C Compiler as the ideal tool for such purpose. This compiler is available both for the extremly wide 8051 family and for the new and fast ATMEL RISC chips called AVR. The names of the versions are BASCOM-8051 and BASCOM-AVR for thr BASIC and µC/51 for the C Comiller. It is also remarkable the availability the Technical Manual in English.
To all the ones who, as in their right, want to "take a look to the real thing" we would wanto to remark that the DEMO version is downloadable for free directly from the site http://www.grifo.it both for 8051 and for AVR. The only limit of DEMO version is the maximum size of the generated code (2K), which is largely enough to test the tool. In fact, we have been able to fit a wide set of examples in this size, including the Clock Watch. So You will be able to perform all the necessary tests before embarking on the building of any application.
Develop high quality software for any 8051 in ANSI C. The only limit of DEMO version is the maximum size of the generated code 8K!!!, which is largely enough to test the tool.

• Ask a friend able to program the Micros.
• Self Make one. You can find diagrams and designs of the PCB at the site http://www.grifo.com .
• Purchase one. In this case there are several possibilities:
  • Purchase MP AVR-51 that performs both emulation and programming.
  • Purchase an Adapter Module for an EPROM programmer.

This section is made by the Reset circuitry, managed through a TL 7705, capable to generate both a RESET and a /RESET complemented signal; a key and a 3 pins jumpers to switch between 51 or AVR mode.
A Quartz and two sockets also belong to this section. The sockets may even be ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) type, capable to host the CPU in 20 pins and 40 pins format. For convenience in reperibility, there is also the possibility to use 24 pins ZIF sockets, also usually less expensive than the other ones.

A comfortable 9 pins, male, 90 degreeses, D type connector makes available a standard serial communication line, made using a MAX 202 or a MAX 232.
This integrated circuit is available on only one of the two communication sections, the other one remains unused for future expansions.

Peripherals management simulating I2C-BUS through 2 I/O signals of the CPU:

• PCF 8583 Real Time Clock with Lithium battery, RAM and Watch.
• Controller for SAA 1064 7-segments LEDs type, 4 digits display.
• Serial E2 type 24C08.
• Eight bidirectional I/O lines managed through PCF 8574.
• Four A/D converter lines and one D/A converter 8-bits line through PCF 8591.
• Temperature measurement and thermostat management through DS 1621.
• Two I2C-Bus connectors available to connect to the external world.

The following devices are available for experimentations:

• Four LEDs Displays 13 mm or 20 mm.
• Four keys manageable directly through the CPU section.
• BUZZER manageable through the CPU section.
• Thermostat output, shown through a LED, available on a connector.
• Real Time Clock output to manage /INT or toggle output.
• Twelwe bits, 11 signals A/D Converter type TLC 2543.
• Twenty pins connector to connect a 12 bits A/D Converter.
• Connector for LCD Display and trimmer for contrast regulation.
• Connector for power supply and auxiliary signals.

The circuitry used to make the watch includes RTC PCF 8583; 7-segments display controller SAA 1064; four keys and one BUZZER. The circuit is controlled through the I2C-BUS protocol created by Philips and widely used in several fields.
Such communication protocols involves only two wires to perform informations exchange between both peripheral devices and intelligent systems. The BASCOM Compiler allows to use the not quite easy I2C-BUS through simple "High Level" instructions, without any need to know or undestand the protocol itself.
For who wants to learn more about this protocol we suggest to read the complete and clear treatment made by Philips in its Data-Book.
To emphasize the flexiblity of I2C-BUS protocol it is enough to remark that, to test the above introduced circuitries, it is possible to employ the very comfortable GPC® F2 board, already purchased or self-made by several people, that can be used to debug and test all the example programs.
