Logic

All Card Engines are designed to be interchangable on all Zoom Starter Development Kit (SDK) baseboards with the exception of the NXP LH79524 Card Engine and Freescale MCF5329/MCF5373 Fire Engines which require different versions of the SDK baseboard.

Logic provides a support infrastructure to assist customers in evaluating our products.
Avenues for evaluation support include...

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.

BoLo: Block zero loader - The lowest level bootloader or bootstrap code on the system. BoLo was incorporated into LogicLoader code after LoLo version 1.4.0 and...

The ELF loader needs to know the address in memory where it should place the incoming binary file. The Greenhill and ARM tools place this information at the very end of an ELF file. When downloading over a non-random access device....

ThreadX and uC/OSII are third-party ports and Logic does not ship development kits with them. Contact NXP for avaiability.  www.nxp.com

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.

Yes, the Card Engine connector consists of a 144-pin SODIMM (widely used as laptop memory connectors) and two high-density 80-pin Hirose connectors (widely used in cell phone applications). Logic has leveraged...

Logic has created a standard pin-out design across all Card Engines which is non-proprietary.

The expansion connector pinout is the same, but depending on the specific Card Engine functionality, some peripheral functions may or may not be available or connected. Common peripherals are...

GNU cross development tools for ARM, SH3, SH4 and ColdFire are provided.

Logic developers are actively using the Abatron BDI 2000 to work with ARM, XScale, and ColdFire based hardware.

No, the SOM does not have ESD protection.

The reason for this is that the SOM was designed to be low cost and adaptable to many different applications, which makes it impractical to design in ESD protection....

It has been made to work, but is not stable. Logic does not recommend using Macraigor JTAG debuggers for either the LH75401 or LH7A400 Card Engines. ARM multi-Ice has been very reliable.

The LH75401 Card Engine standard memory configuration does not have enough memory to handle the File Allocation Table (FAT) for many CompactFlash cards. It will work if...

In the serial EEPROM is where you need to store your script. To have LoLo automatically start this script, "name" it "LOLO" or "VOLO". If the first four bytes in the serial EEPROM are "LOLO" or "VOLO", the LogicLoader software will grab everything after it...

LogicLoader API is supported in versions 1.4.x and later.  If you have an LH79520 or LH75401 Card Engine, API functions will not be available....

Yes, our model numbers contain encoded information. Please refer to White Paper 293: Model Number Explanation & Decoder for specific information on Logic's Model Numbering scheme.

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/

Yes there is an application note available called Restoring a Corrupt Bolo/Lolo with an ARM Multi-ICE. It details a step-by-step process for restoring LogicLoader to the SOM with an ARM Multi-ICE JTAG....

Yes, Logic has a small sample application that can be built for both RAM and flash memory.  You can find it under the Sample Application category on the product downloads page.

LogicLoader requires a CompactFlash card to be formatted with a primary partition. Formatting the card from within Windows CE may create an extended partition, thereby making the card unrecognizable to LogicLoader....

A memory map is available as part of the LogicLoader User Manual Addendum that is written for each SOM. Because the memory map is software-dependent...

Zoom SDK baseboard design files are available on the website. You'll need to register your kit in order to access them....

No, LogicLoader does not support RLE encoded bitmaps. Only uncompressed bitmap formats are supported.

IAR has added support that is specific to a variety of Logic's NXP Zoom SDKs.  For a listing of supported products please refer to the following link:

Make sure the BDI2000 has the right firmware.  The BDI2000 will display what CPU platform it is programmed for when you telnet to the BDI2000.  It may scroll off your telnet screen...

The latest version of LogicLoader is always marked by (current) on the downloads page. To see all available versions, click on the (+) next to the file name. The version marked (current) is the latest LogicLoader release for your SOM.

The build.sh file must use Unix end of line terminations. Change the line endings to Unix by using "dos2unix" preceeding the build.sh command. For example...
