DS4340 modules are supported by the RTI FlexRay Configuration Blockset.

Bus termination
You can terminate the bus lines if the channels of the DS4340 module are connected at the end of the FlexRay bus. The termination resistance is switched via software in the RTIFLEXRAYCONFIG CONTROLLER SETUP block, refer to Options Page (RTIFLEXRAYCONFIG CONTROLLER SETUP) ( FlexRay Configuration RTI Reference). For a detailed description of bus termination, refer to DS4340 Connections in Different Topologies on page 37.
ST M
Feed-through lines
If the DS4340 is not connected at an end of the FlexRay bus and it is connected at a linear passive bus, you can use the feed-through bus lines to keep the stub length as short as possible. This improves the EMC robustness and FlexRay signal integrity, especially in a topology consisting of many nodes and long distances between the splices or ECUs. For details, refer to DS4340 Connections in Different Topologies on page 37.

How to Wake Up MicroAutoBox by Activity on the FlexRay Bus

Objective
You can configure MicroAutoBox with DS4340 modules to be woken up when the FlexRay bus alives.
CAUTION
MicroAutoBox 1401/1507: Do not configure a FlexRay module by yourself. You may destroy parts of MicroAutoBox. If you want to use the wake-up function, the configuration must be done by dSPACE.
46

June 2009
Basics
The transceiver TJA1080 provides two inhibit signals (INH1 and INH2) which can be used for waking up MicroAutoBox. When the transceiver detects an activity on the FlexRay bus, the inhibit signals are set to UBAT voltage level. This starts MicroAutoBox if the inhibit signals are connected to the REMOTE pin of MicroAutoBox (Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) Connector, M 3 pin). For detailed information on the inhibit signals (INH1 and INH2), refer to the TJA1080 data sheet. The inhibit signals are not connected to the Sub-D I/O connector by default. To connect them, you must solder SMD resistors (resistance:0 , size: 1206) on the DS4340, see the following circuit.
Protection circuit BP_ChA BM_ChA PHY1 TJA1080 INH2 INH1 2 x 0R0 optional X12 INH1 INH2 X21 INH1 PHY2 TJA1080 INH2 BP_ChB BM_ChB X22 2 x 0R0 optional External IO connector UBAT

Connecting to a LIN Bus

How to Configure MicroAutoBox as the LIN Master
Default configuration
If you run MicroAutoBox within a LIN network, it is configured as a LIN slave by default. You must reconfigure MicroAutoBox if you want to use it as the LIN master. You can configure MicroAutoBox as the LIN master by adding a series connection consisting of a 1 k pull-up resistor and a diode. This circuit must be wired in parallel to the LIN transceiver. For detailed information, refer to the specification of the LIN transceiver used. Because LIN and K-line use the same circuits, wiring a 1 k pull-up resistor also affects the operation of the Kline.
Changing the default configuration
Possible methods
The configuration varies according to the MicroAutoBox variant.

n
For MicroAutoBox 1401/1507, you can add the pull-up resistor internally. The diode is already soldered on the DS1507. Refer to Method 1. For MicroAutoBox 1401/1505/1506 and 1401/1505/1507, you can add the pull-up resistor internally. The diode is already soldered on the DS1506. Refer to Method 2. For MicroAutoBox 1401/1501 and 1401/1504, you must add the series connection of the pull-up resistor and diode externally. Refer to Method 3.
Method 1
To configure MicroAutoBox 1401/1507 as LIN master 1 Disconnect MicroAutoBox from the power supply. 2 Open the enclosure of MicroAutoBox You will find the two CAN_TP1 modules on the bottom of the DS1507. You can solder 0805 SMD resistors at the marked positions (PAD) as the master pull-up.

Input/output circuits
For the power supply of the input/output circuits the following connections are relevant (this does not apply to MicroAutoBox 1401/1507): Description/ Function This input supplies all digital input and output circuits. o Connect this input to VSENS to select TTL-compatible logic levels at the inputs/outputs. o Connect this input to VBATprot to select automotive-compatible logic levels at the inputs/outputs. o Do not connect this pin directly to VBAT, because the input and output circuits are not load dump or reverse voltage protected for this signal. o While MicroAutoBox is being powered down, the output stages have pullup behavior to VDRIVE. So the outputs may reach the level of VDRIVE. If this behavior is critical in your application, you have to power down your external devices or VDRIVE before MicroAutoBox is powered down. You can also use the REMOTE signal (Kl.15) with the power control software functionality to first switch off VDRIVE via a relay. Sensor supply output. Use this output to supply your sensors and/or VDRIVE. Protected VBAT output. Use this output to drive VDRIVE when automotive logic levels are needed.

Situation with DS830
dSPACEs DS830 MultiLink Panel allows you to connect up to 16 dSPACE boxes to one host PC. With the DS830, you need to install only one link board (PC) in the host PC. As an example, the following illustration shows how to connect the DS830 to the host PC and four dSPACE boxes.
Box 1 Box 2 Box 3 DS830 Host PC Box 4
You can connect any combination of expansion boxes and MicroAutoBoxes to the DS830. You can connect several DS830 panels to one host PC. Each DS830 has to be connected to the PC via a separate link board (PC). To install your dSPACE system in a vehicle, you can use the car battery as the power supply for the DS830.
Connecting and installing the DS830
To connect the DS830 to the host PC as well as to the dSPACE boxes, you can use any combination of crossed-over patch cables and fiber-optic cables. For example, you can connect the DS830 to the host PC and an expansion box via a fiber-optic cable, and to a MicroAutoBox via a patch cable. The DS830 can be used in a laboratory or in vehicle. The cables required to supply power to the DS830 via a mains socket or a car battery are part of the DS830 hardware package. The cable for the mains socket includes a power supply unit (15.0 V, 4.0 A). For instructions on the installation, see How to Connect the DS830 on page 101.
Limitations
The following limitations currently apply to the DS830:

n
Up to 4 (DS830/4), 8 (DS830/8) or 16 (DS830/16) dSPACE boxes can be connected to one panel. The length of each connection is limited to
o
10 m (crossed-over patch cable), and
June 2009
99
100 m (fiber-optic cable).
Therefore, the maximum distance between a host PC and a box is 200 m (DS830 connected to both the PC and the box via fiber-optic cables).
n
DS830 panels cannot be cascaded, which means that you cannot connect one DS830 to another. Each DS830 must be connected directly to a link board (PC).
Data sheet
For the specifications of the DS830, refer to Data Sheet DS830 Multilink Panel on page 257. The DS830 is equipped with status LEDs: see DS830: Identifying the Connection Status on page 103.

DS830/x + Red wire 5 A fuse
(close to battery)
Car battery (12 V)
Black wire
It is highly recommended to insert a fuse into the main power supply wire. The fuse should be installed close to the battery. If you connect the red wire to the car battery directly, the DS830 will always be turned on, and the car battery will soon run down if the engine does not operate. Thus, a switch is highly recommended. Use only a switch and wires that are designed for at least 5 A.

Description/Function This input supplies all digital input and output circuits. o Connect this input to VSENS to get TTL-compatible logic levels to your inputs/outputs. o Connect this input to VBATprot to get automotivecompatible logic levels to your inputs/outputs. o Do not connect this pin directly to VBAT, because the input and output circuits are not load dump or reverse voltage protected at this signal. o While MicroAutoBox is being powered down, the output stages have pull-up behavior to VDRIVE. So the outputs may reach the level of VDRIVE. If this behavior is critical in your application, you have to power down your external devices or VDRIVE before MicroAutoBox is powered down. You can also use the REMOTE signal (Kl.15) with the power control software functionality to first switch off VDRIVE via a relay. Sensor Supply output. Use this output to supply your sensors and/or VDRIVE. Protected VBAT output. Use this output to supply VDRIVE when automotive logic levels are needed.

Digital Input
Pin description
Most digital signals have separate input and output pins. If your software defines a signal for output, the corresponding input has no function. If the software defines a signal as input the corresponding output pin has the same level as the corresponding input pin. When software does not control the digital I/O signals (during reset or before correct initialization) each output will be in the same state as the corresponding input. This allows you to define the default (reset) state of each output by driving the input with an external signal. If you use this feature ensure that your software initializes your output signal to the same state you defined for the input.

Most digital signals have separate input and output pins. If your software defines a signal for output, the corresponding input has no function. If the software defines a signal as input the corresponding output pin has the same level as the corresponding input pin. When software does not control the digital I/O signals (during reset or before correct initialization) each output will be in the same state as the corresponding input. This allows you to define the default (reset) state of each output by driving the input with an external signal.

If you use this feature ensure that your software initializes your output signal to the same state you defined for the input.

Baud Rate Limitations of the Serial Interface

Objective
Due to the limitations of the UART baud rate generator, not all baud rates can be programmed exactly to the desired baud rate without error. The UART baud rate generator provides several baud rates: To calculate the divisor T for a chosen baud rate
T = Round 230400 BR (chosen)
Baud rate calculation
BR (chosen) = The baudrate to be generated T = The baudrate generator divisor (2 T 65535)
To calculate the real baud rate from a given divisor T

230400 BR (real) = T Baud BR (real) = The baudrate you get T = The baudrate generator divisor (2 T 65535)
To calculate the resulting error

ErrorBR BR (real) BR (chosen) = BR (chosen) 100%
If ErrorBR 2%, messages will be transferred and received correctly.

For pin descriptions, refer to Power Input and Output on page 171.
Matching cable
A preconfigured cable for the supply voltage is provided by dSPACE. This cable is intended to operate MicroAutoBox with a laboratory power supply during development. Therefore, VREMOTE (pin 4) is shorted to VBAT (pin A2) inside the connector in order to save a separate switch. Do not use this cable in the vehicle. Otherwise, MicroAutoBox will always be turned on. The VBAT wire (red) contains a melting fuse (4.0 A, time lag). Each wire has a cross-section of 1.5 mm.

Pin Description
The pin description is divided into two categories. Information in this section Power Input and Output Interfaces 171 172

Pin description
The following table gives a description of the pins used for power input and output for MicroAutoBox 1401/1507: Signal VBAT GND Description/Function Main power supply input. Connect this pin to the positive pole of your car battery. Main power supply return and reference for all input and output signals. Connect this pin to the minus pole of your car battery. This signal is also connected to the case of MicroAutoBox.
o
Pin A2 A1
VREMOTE
The remote voltage may be used for starting MicroAutoBox with a remote switch: KL15, for example (output of the ignition/driving switch). If you connect the remote pin to the car battery directly, MicroAutoBox will always be turned on, and the car battery will soon be exhausted if the engine is not running. Thus, a switch is highly recommended. The remote voltage should not exceed the supply voltage.

Interfaces
Pin description
The following table gives a description of the pins of the ECU interface which can be accessed via the ECU interface connector, and a description of the pins of the 78-pin Sub-D I/O connector. Which I/O signals are available depends on the FlexRay IP module you use (DS4340 or third-party). The following table gives a description of the interface pins which can be accessed via ECU interface connector: Module ECU Type 1 ECU Type 1 ECU Type 1 ECU Type 1 Description/Function ECU interface (also called LVDS interface). You can also use this interface to connect a RapidPro system to MicroAutoBox. This reflective memory-based ECU-bypassing interface is proprietary to dSPACE. Connect the MicroAutoBox-RX pair to the ECUTX pair and the MicroAutoBox-TX pair to the ECU-RX pair. Always use a CAT5 twisted-pair cable for this connection. For the ECU interface connector, use mass-produced cables provided by dSPACE.

Problems with Multiple Plug & Play Boards

Objective
Working with more than one dSPACE board in plug & play configuration presents us with two problems. The first is that the logical name of a board as assigned by the software must be associated with a physical board. The second is that under certain conditions, assignment of the names to the boards may change unexpectedly. It is vital to detect this situation, because otherwise an application to be loaded to a certain board might be loaded to another board of the same type by mistake. For example, assume you have one board connected to the engine ECU and another connected to the ESP system of a vehicle. In order to avoid severe damage to the car, you must avoid loading the program intended for the ECU-related board to the ESP-related board, and vice versa.
Affected boards
The problem described always applies to DS1104 boards (and MicroAutoBox via DS815 or DS817) because plug & play mode cannot be disabled. It also applies to DS1103 and DS1005 boards if they are configured to plug & play mode. For these boards, plug & play mode can be used only if they are installed in a PC directly. This might be the case with an industrial PC with many ISA slots and a built-in PC. The problem can be avoided for DS1103 and DS1005 boards installed in a PC simply by disabling the plug & play mode. This means, however, that you must set up a configuration free of I/O address conflicts by setting the I/O address switches of the boards manually.
Not affected boards
The problem never applies to DS1006 boards, because these boards do not support the plug & play mode. The problem never applies to DS1103 and DS1005 boards installed in a dSPACE expansion box independently of the type of interface used to connect the box to the PC, because when they are installed in expansion boxes, the plug & play mode must be disabled.
Handling plug & play boards in ControlDesk
ControlDesks Platform Manager handles the boards by detecting their type (DS1005, DS1103, DS1104, MicroAutoBox via DS815 or DS817) and their actual I/O address. For plug & play boards, the actual I/O address is dynamically assigned by the PC BIOS or the plug & play components of the operating system. If you add hardware

components to your host PC or remove them from it, or enable or disable motherboard components, the PC's BIOS and/or the operating system's plug & play components assign new resources such as I/O addresses to all plug & play components, including dSPACE boards in plug & play mode. This may result in different I/O addresses being assigned to the same board without even touching any of the dSPACE boards! This situation cannot be automatically corrected by the Platform Manager. It does, however, detect a change in the configuration, that is a change in the names assigned to the boards and the particular board. Detection is based on the board serial numbers. The Platform Manager detects such a change if at least one board was allocated a different name by the device driver. The affected board is removed from the dSPACE configuration and cannot be accessed by the Platform Manager to avoid confusion when loading applications and to prevent damage to external devices connected to the board. The Platform Manager displays an error message and requires the user to reregister all the hardware before all boards can be used again.
Method
To restore a consistent dSPACE board configuration 1 From ControlDesks menu bar, choose Platform Initialization Clear System. Boards setup in plug & play mode are then reregistered automatically. 2 In the Platform Navigator, double-click the corresponding board icon to open the Platform Properties dialog. 3 Compare the serial number of each dSPACE board (label on each boards bracket) with the one shown in the boards property page of the Platform Manager to make sure that your applications are still loaded to the correct dSPACE boards.

Troubleshooting
After using the Clear System command, you must reregister all installed dSPACE boards that do not support plug & play or where plug & play mode is disabled by means of the address switches. It is your responsibility to check and ensure that all applications are still loaded to the correct board. Since this is not under complete control of the dSPACE software it might even be necessary to change external connections to the boards! In a subsequent release of the Platform Manager it will be possible to assign board names to the particular boards as needed.

The following table displays the affected dSPACE boards and the property pages showing the boards serial numbers: dSPACE Board DS1005 DS1006 DS1103 DS1104 DS1401 (MicroAutoBox) Property Page DS1005 Properties page DS1006 Properties page DS1103 Properties page Board Properties page DS1401 Properties page

Problems with the Flight Recorder

Troubleshooting
One of the following error messages may come up when you use the flight recorder. Cause You did not use the flight recorder. You tried to convert a file that contains no flight recorder data. Remedy Select a BIN file with flight recorder data.
Error Message The flight recorder has saved no data The file '<filename>' contains no flight recorder data

Troubleshooting
Error Message Overrun during flight recording detected (data incomplete)
Cause During data saving, the bit rate was so high that some data could not be recorded. Reasons: o Too many variables are saved in too short a period, or o Data is written to the flash too fast. The flash of MicroAutoBox has a bit rate of approx. 700 KByte/s. If this bit rate overruns, data is lost. During data saving or conversion, failures in the data structure occurred. The BIN file or the data in the flash memory is corrupt.
Remedy Reduce the variables or the cycle time of the model/program, so that the flash has a longer period to save the data.
Detected incomplete or faulty flight recorder data
Contact dSPACE support for further measures.
Problems Related to the Firmware

Corrupt firmware
You should not switch off MicroAutoBoxs power supply or disconnect MicroAutoBox from the host PC while loading an application to the box. This may be the reason for a corrupted firmware.
Error messages
One of the following error messages may come up when you try to download an application to MicroAutoBox. The application is not executed.
n
<board_name>: Startup code has not been executed correctly after loading <application>. <board_name>: No firmware (bootstrap code) found. Please load the firmware again. There is not enough global memory while loading <application> to board <board_name>
If the error messages are caused by a corrupted bootstrap loader which is included in the firmware, you have to re-program the firmware.
