Roland Gehrmann, Marketing Manager for

Consumer and Industrial IC Marketing, Toshiba

Electronics Europe GmbH looks at the various

connectivity requirements of modern applications and

introduces examples of how integrated ARM Cortex-M3

microcontrollers are helping embedded system developers

to address these requirements

From consumer electronics and offi ce equipment

to industrial systems and automotive designs, today’s

increasingly ‘connected’ world challenges embedded

system developers to deliver applications with a wide

variety of potential interface and connectivity options.

At the same time demands to keep cost, space, power

consumption and design time to a minimum puts

pressure on developers to seek out solutions that optimise

performance and effi ciency, reduce component count and

simplify design, prototyping and testing.

Sophisticated Connectivity

Among industrial equipment, an RS-232/485 port has

been the staple external interconnect for essential

maintenance, but many machines also now boast a USB

port. This simplifi es connection of peripheral devices

or up/downloading of data, allowing a wider variety of

users to interact with the machine effectively to fulfi l

their responsibilities. Moreover, using Ethernet to connect

complex industrial equipment such as printers or CNC

machines, or telecom switches, to an enterprise LAN is

opening many new opportunities to collect detailed

performance or usage data and to implement low-cost

remote maintenance.

Enhanced connectivity is also being driven into

automotive applications. With growth in demands for

extra comfort and safety features, and Driver Assistance

Systems (DAS), control networks using standards such

as CAN and LIN are becoming more prevalent, even in

lower range vehicles. These are already widely used for

connecting subsystems such as engine management units

and mechatronic modules, and deliver advantages such

as increased modularity, weight/cost savings, and easier

collection of diagnostic information. At the same time

the robust nature of the CAN bus is seeing this standard

continue its migration from the automotive arena to many

industrial applications.

Networks such as CAN and LIN are increasingly

sharing space with consumer connections such as USB

and DVI as today’s car buyers expect to plug in devices

such as mobiles, game terminals and DVD players for

entertainment and information on the move. Automotive

Ethernet is another interesting development currently

gaining traction. This could enable a further step

forward by connecting the vehicle to a home network

to synchronise fi les such as music, video or phonebook

contacts; as electric cars enter the mainstream, there could

be more reasons to plug in than simply to charge the

battery.

Making the ARM Connection - Delivering Connectivity is Key to Latest Embedded Designs

The embedded design community must respond to the

increasing demands for convenient, seamless connectivity

coming from these and other sectors. Embedded

microcontrollers, for example, must now support many

combinations of connections if they are to help developers

simplify designs, reduce code size, trim board dimensions

and speed up time to market.

Pressure on Processing

To achieve this, processing capabilities must increase to

handle multiple I/O channels and protocol standards. Also,

with increasing ad hoc connectivity, enhanced security

such as authentication and encryption is required. At the

same time, cost pressure is ever present.

The ARM® Cortex™-M3 processor emerged to

satisfy general demands within the embedded space for

improved performance, effi ciency and ease of use. With

ARM’s experience in mobile applications, it is highly energy

effi cient and has a high-density instruction set that allows

smaller code leading to reduced silicon costs. The 32-bit

Cortex-M architecture delivers more performance per

MHz than competing embedded processors, which allows

developers to implement richer features at lower power

consumption.

For applications requiring high-speed connectivity, or

where multiple interfaces supporting concurrent operation

are needed, the Cortex-M3 is able to execute the required

tasks without signifi cant increases in operating frequency

and can allow greater use of power-saving modes; most

8-bit or 16-bit processors typically require a higher clock

speed or longer active duty cycle to complete the same

operations.

Putting it All Together

Another strength of the ARM Cortex-M3 is that this has

become a de facto industry standard for high-performance

embedded applications. Among the leading Cortex-M3

licensees, Toshiba has used this advanced core in its

TMPM36x family of microcontrollers; enabling these MCUs

to integrate peripheral features optimised for applications

in sectors such as industrial, consumer and automotive. As

such, the majority of family members provide plentiful I/O

interfaces supporting standards that are widely used in

these sectors. Figure 1 shows the connectivity roadmap for

this family of devices.

A more specifi c example is the TMPM366, which

targets applications such as industrial control and offi ce

automation. This MCU provides a combination of single-

channel USB-Device controller, a 2-channel serial bus

interface that can be confi gured for S or synchronous-

mode communication, a 3-channel synchronous serial

interface (SSP), a 2-channel general-purpose serial

AutoBuzz – Amazing JTAG/boundary-

scan Tool for Debug & Repair

The makers of JTAG Live™ Buzz and

Buzz-plus are proud to announce

AutoBuzz, the most exciting

addition yet to their no-netlist-

required range of JTAG/boundary-

scan test and debug tools. AutoBuzz

is an amazing tool that

uses a unique ‘seek

and discover’ feature

to scan completely

a compliant design

and then perform

comparative tests using

JTAG/boundary-scan.

With only JTAG

scan-chain information

plus BSDL models

of the JTAG/IEEE std

1149.1 compliant

parts (available from

manufacturers’ web-

sites), users of AutoBuzz will be able to

connect to their designs via a number

of compatible JTAG interface options.

AutoBuzz can then be set to gather

a complete ‘connectivity map’ of any

board’s boundary-scan to boundary-

scan pin connections (where these

can be direct or via ‘transparent’

devices such as series resistors).

AutoBuzz supports just two simple

operating modes: Learn and Compare.

With AutoBuzz in Learn mode a

‘known good’ sample PCB is initially

scanned to establish a reference

connectivity map. Suspected faulty

boards can then be scanned by

AutoBuzz in Compare mode, and

a comparison is automatically

made of their connectivity maps.

Differences between the two maps are

highlighted to indicate possible faults

such as interconnect short-circuits,

open-circuits or ‘stuck-at’ faults. For

added reliability and reproducibility

a constraints section allows critical

pins to be set at fi xed drive values as

‘guards’.

Since the user requires no

boundary-scan technical knowledge

and with only a basic scan chain input

needed, AutoBuzz is expected to fi nd

favour in repair and service centres as

well as other debug arenas.

Supported interfaces currently

include Altera’s USB Blaster, Xilinx’s

parallel III/IV and USB interfaces, JTAG

Technologies’ JT 3705 / USB controller,

JTAGLive dedicated USB controller

and some FTDI based modules.

AutoBuzz joins the JTAGLive

range which not

only includes the

aforementioned Buzz and

Buzz-plus, but also the

programmable cluster test

modules Clip and Script.

The latter is a powerful

Python-based API that

enables users to create

sophisticated boundary-

scan based device or

device cluster tests in

an easy-to-learn, open-

source programming

environment. Recent

extensions to the JTAGLive Script

module also allow users to access

embedded test and debug features

of many devices through the

use of ‘private’ JTAG instructions.

This capability facilitates test and

debugging beyond the boundary-

scan test registers.

AutoBuzz is available immediately

to buy online from www.jtaglive.com

and is priced at 1,495.
