MachXO2 SensorExtender Card Set TM This document describes how to run a basic video transmission demonstration with the Lattice SensorExtender Card (SEC) set. This demonstration requires an HDR-60 base board and a 9MT024 Nanovesta sensor board, which are available separately from Lattice. A 720p (or higher) compatible monitor will be required for output display. The SEC set consists of two boards; a Transmit board labeled “Tx” and a Receive board labeled “Rx”. The 9MT024 Nanovesta sensor board should be connected to the Tx board. During the demonstration, this board will transmit video data over a CAT5E cable to the Rx board, which is connected to the HDR-60 board. More details are in the SEC user guide, available at www.latticesemi.com/ sensorextender Check Kit Contents The SEC box should contain the following items: • • • • Two SEC boards, one labeled Rx, one labeled Tx A CAT5E Ethernet cable A USB cable for programming QuickSTART Guide • Storage and Handling Tips: Static electricity can shorten the lifespan of electronic components. Please observe these tips to prevent any damage that could occur from electro-static discharge: • Use anti-static precautions such as operating on an anti-static mat and wearing an anti-static wristband. • Store the SEC in the ESD bag. • Touch the metal USB housing to equalize voltage potential between you and the board.

Connect SEC RX board to HDR60 via Hirose connector. Ensure Ethernet connectors are on the bottom. c. Connect M024 Nanovesta board to TX board via Hirose connector. Ensure Ethernet connectors are on the bottom. e. Ensure proper jumper settings • No jumpers on HDR-60 Board • No jumpers on SensorExtender RX or TX boards • Two Jumpers on 9MT024 Nanovesta Board 1. J3 – pins 1&2 2. J2 – pins 1&2 b. Connect Ethernet cable to RX port of the RX board d. Connect Ethernet Cable to TX port of TX board f. Complete Setup: MachXO2 SensorExtender Card Set TM LatticeECP3 Bitstream Programming: 1. The LatticeECP3 FPGA on the HDR-60 base board must be programmed with the SEC demo bitstream. This file is called SEC_demo_ECP3.bit available at www. latticesemi.com/sensorextender. USB (upper) 12V 2. Plug one end of the USB cable to the computer HDMI and the other to the upper USB port on the HDR-60. Program the LatticeECP3 FGPA with the SEC_demo_ECP3.bit file, using the Diamond Programmer software, available at www.latticesemi.com/latticediamond/downloads 3. Use Lattice Diamond Programmer software to program the SPI Flash device on the HDR60 base board, which in-turn will program the ECP3 FPGA. Diamond Programmer is available at: www.latticesemi.com/ latticediamond/downloads Use the following parameters in the programming software dialog box. Access Mode: SPI Flash Background Programming Operation: SPI Flash Erase, Program, Verify Programming File: Choose programming file Family: SPI Serial Flash Vendor: STMicro or Numonyx Device: SPI-M25P64 Package: 16-lead SOIC Data File Size: Click “Load Size from Programming File” button Click OK, then GO to program the LatticeECP3 SPI Flash. Ensure that the SPI Flash is successfully programmed Running the SEC Demo 1. Remove USB cable from the HDR-60 base board. Attach an HDMI cable from the HDR-60 board to a 720p or higher compatible monitor. Recycle power by disconnecting and reconnecting 12V DC supply on the HDR-60 base board. 2. The SEC Tx and Rx boards will each have two lit LEDs. One will be lit constantly and the other will be flashing. 3. A 1280x720p60 image should display on the compatible monitor. MachXO2 SensorExtender Card Set TM Demo Running: HDMI/DVI Cable Other SEC Features • The SEC board also has the Texas Instruments ISP flex connector populated at location J9. One could connect the SEC Rx board to a TI ISP camera via a flex cable. Visit www.leopardimaging.com for details on available TI cameras. Done Congratulations! You have successfully demonstrated the SEC.
