Target IC If the Target IC is an Atmel AVR microcontroller which is running from a slow internal oscillator e g 1 MHz then it is very important that the Slow SPI speed is set to a low enough value e g 50 100 kHz to ensure correct entry in Serial Programming Mode Overview Programmer Target Device Target Oscillator SPI Settings Target Power Supply Flash Eeprom Target Oscillator Freq 8 00 MHz Target Max SPI Freq 1 33 MHz Software SPI Medium SPI Frequency 326 80 kHz f 1 02 lt 4 1 02 4 326 80 kHz Data Delay ys Clock Delay us Maximum Value Slow SPI Frequency 54 47 kHz 6 12 24 6 12 4 326 80 kHz When the same SPI settings are uploaded to an FS2000B programmer the FS2000B firmware automatically scales the Slow SPI settings to adjust for the fact that the programmer is running much faster than the FS2000A This should mean that a Programming Project designed for the FS2000A programmer should always work OK when loaded into an FS2003 programmer 1 6 3 Medium SPI speed The Medium SPI speed setting in Software SPI mode is only used for programming the FLASH and EEPROM areas of the Target IC When a Programming Project designed for an FS2000A programmer is loaded into an FS2000B programmer the Medium SPI speed is NOT scaled This means that the resulting SPI frequency when an FS2000A project is uploaded to the FS2000B will be faster For example If the Medium SPI
5. speed is set to 326 kHz in the FS2000A project the resulting SPI frequency when the same project is uploaded to an FS2000B programmer is 490 kHz Feature FS2000A FS2000B Medium SPI speed setting 326 kHz 490 kHz This should result in significantly faster programming speeds for most devices Application Note AN119 Converting an Equinox FS2003 programmer to run FS2000A Programming Projects 7 Version 1 04 8th September 2008 CPrsiner Application Note Warning If the Target Device is an Atmel AVR microcontroller running from its internal RC Oscillator at e g 1 MHz then the resulting MEDIUM SPI frequency may be too fast for the Internal Oscillator and the programming operation will fail If the FS2000B produces a programming error you will need to decrease the MEDIUM SPI frequency in the original FS2000A project 1 7 Powering the programmer from the Target System It is possible to power both the FS2000A and FS2003 programmer from the Target System see diagram below Target Programmer Microcontroller ISP Header Connector L ISP Header Connector User Target System ISP Cable Bench Power Supply e The FS2003 programmer can be powered from a Target System running from any voltage between 3 0 and 5 0V e The FS2000A programmer is only designed to power from a Target System running at 5 0V Feature FS2000A FS2003 FS2000B Target Syste
