All connection settings for P&E hardware interfaces are configured in the Launch Configurations dialog box.
The following table describes the options of the view.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Interface | Use this option to select the interface type. Select a supported interface from the list box. The options are:
|
| Port | This option selects the port over which debug communications is conducted. Select an available port from the list box. NOTE: If you are having issues trying to get a port to display, click on the [FAQ #29] link for help. |
| Advanced Programming Options | The Advanced Programming Options button brings up a dialog that provides you with options to configure the flash programming procedure. |
| Specify IP (Cyclone Ethernet only) | Use this option to specify the IP address of a Cyclone outside of the local network. Click on the checkbox to enable the textbox. This will also disable the port dropdown box. Currently supports IPv4 only. |
| Specify Network Card IP (Cyclone Ethernet only) | Use this option to specify the local network card IP address if there are multiple cards on your computer. Click on the checkbox to enable the textbox. Currently supports IPv4 only. |
| Refresh | Click this button to have the workstation scan for a valid interface and port. Valid interfaces and ports appear in the Interface and Port list boxes. |
| Provide power to target (USB Multilink Universal FX only) | Check this option to have the Cyclone or USB Multilink Universal FX (circuitry) supply power to the hardware target. Uncheck this option to not provide power. Note: For USB Multilink Universal FX, use the jumper settings located at JP10 to provide either 3.3V or 5V.
|
| Power off target upon software exit (USB Multilink Universal FX only) | Check this option to turn off the power when the program terminates. Uncheck this option to leave the hardware target powered continuously. |
| Power down delay (USB Multilink Universal FX only) | This option specifies amount of time for which the target will be turned off during a RESET power cycling sequence. Enter the delay interval (in milliseconds) in this option's text box. |
| Power up delay (USB Multilink Universal FX only) | This option specifies amount of time for which the target will remain powered prior to a RESET power cycling sequence. Enter the delay interval (in milliseconds) in this option's text box. |
| Debug Shift Freq. | This option lets you to set the debug shift clock speed of P&E's interfaces. This integer value may be used to determine the speed of communications according to the following equations:
|
| Delay After Reset | Specifies a delay after the programmer resets the target that we check to see if the part has properly gone into background debug mode. This is useful if the target has a reset driver which hold the MCU in reset after the programmer releases the reset line. The n value is a delay in milliseconds. |
To change P&E Connections settings, perform these steps:
The Debug Configurations dialog box appears.
The Main page appears in the area beneath the tabs.
Valid interfaces and ports appear in the Interface and Port drop-down lists in the Connection Port and Interface Type group.
This option specifies the time interval to wait between resetting and communicating the target device.
Click on the Close button to close the Debug Configuration dialog box.
