Frequently Asked Questions
What support comes with Zoom Development Kits?
Logic PD provides a support infrastructure to assist customers in evaluating our products. Avenues for evaluation support include:
Are schematics and PCB layout files available for Logic PD products?
Schematics and PCB layout files are available in PDF format for SOMs and baseboards when the product has been registered on Logic's website.
Orcad schematics and layout files are only available for the baseboards.
What do BoLo, NoLo, and LoLo mean?
These are accronyms for Logic PD's bootloader software.
Do all processor signals come off of the SOM?
Most of the processor signals are available on the SOM's expansion connector(s). Please refer to the specific SOM Hardware Specification manual for a complete reference.
What JTAG emulators are recommended by Logic PD?
Logic PD developers are actively using the Abatron BDI 2000 to work with ARM, XScale, and ColdFire based hardware.
Does the SOM have ESD protection?
No, the SOM does not have ESD protection.
The reason for this is that the SOM was designed to be adaptable to many different applications, which makes it impractical to design in ESD protection. The SOM does not provide any ESD protection circuitry on the board and must be provided by the product it is used in. Logic PD has extensive experience in designing products with ESD requirements.
How can I get a boot script to load automatically?
You will need to store the script in the serial EEPROM.
Do Logic PD Model Numbers follow a pattern or contain information about the product?
Yes, our model numbers contain encoded information. Please refer to White Paper 293: Model Number Explanation & Decoder for specific information on Logic PD's Model Numbering scheme.
How do I create an account on the Technical Discussion Group?
You can gain access to the Technical Discussion Group by clicking on the "Register" link at the following URL and filling in the necessary information: http://tdg.logicpd.com/. In order to cut down on spam, your request will be sent to our technical support team to grant you access, this may take up to 24 hours.
LogicLoader no longer recognizes my CompactFlash card. What could be the issue?
LogicLoader requires a CompactFlash card to be formatted with a primary partition.
How do I find the part number, serial number, and model number on my SOM or Development Kit?
White Paper 293: Model Number Explanation & Decoder explains how to identify your product by part number, serial number, and model number.
Does LogicLoader support RLE encoded bitmap images?
No, LogicLoader does not support RLE encoded bitmaps. Only uncompressed bitmap formats are supported.
What is the latest version of LogicLoader available for my SOM?
The latest version of LogicLoader is always marked by (current) on the downloads page.
Why do I get a "command not found" return when I try to build the sample application using Cygwin?
The build.sh file must use Unix end of line terminations.
