hardware configuration


    The card is equipped with 3 sockets and a jumper.
    The jumper is used to select as the power source, or the FTDI connector or the GBMBoost.
    • the board will run off 3,3V.
    • With a GBMBoost, the 3,3V can be taken there.
    • If the board runs from an FTDI-TTL cable (3,3V type),the 3,3V can be taken there.
    • If you want FTDI + GBMBoost, one 3,3V supply need to be open.
    • That's the jumper.
      The three sockets are respectively on the right of the board the FTDI socket and the socket to connect to GBMBoost, on the left of the board the socket to connect to the loading tool ATMEL (AVR PDI).
      The board can be equipped with a socket for Xpressnet and with a socket for BiDiB labelled BoBus. Fianlly an emplacement is provided for a USB connection.

    Installing the links

      Software keys refer to GBM1, GBM2. The GBM are referenced to the socket numbers as labelled on the GBMBoost board in ascending order . There is no specific location for OpPanel.
      example:

      1. The GBM16t boards are connected to sockets 1 and 2. GBM1 is on the socket 1 and GBM2 is on the socket 2, OpPanel on socket 3.
      2. The GBM16t boards are connected to sockets 1 and 3. GBM1 is on the socket 1 and GBM2 is on the socket 3, OpPanel on socket 2.
      3. The GBM16t boards are connected to sockets 2 and 3. GBM1 is on the socket 2 and GBM2 is on the socket 3, OpPanel on socket 1.
      If GBM16t are not connected, the display shows:

      lok_monitor_no_GBM occupancy no GBM

      This is the case also if there is no DCC on GBM16t.

Initial Software Configuration


      To access the menu, press the center button of "Navimec": referencing informations are displayed.

      Then select Setup, and navigate through the screens with the up / down Navimec.
      setup_first_screen

      In the example on the right, the contrast value was changed by turning the rotary knob.

      The DEFkey again returns to the stored value before the change.

      Save memorize the actual value.
      contrast

    The parameter list is as follows: (Their use depends on the software modules used)

      Brightness de 0 à 100%
      Contrast de 0 à 63

Installing a BootLoader

    The Board should be equipped with a BootLoader. If this is not the case for a new installation, the boot loader can be installed on the board using the Atmel tool AVRISP by connecting it to an AVR PDI interface.

    The BootLoader is available here download.

    The BOOTRST fuse must be set onto BOOTLDR.

    install_boot_fuse

    Then just start the download of flash memory with the executable file .hex of the boot loader

    download_boot_exe
