2 Configuration Page

The following section describes features of the Configuration Page in the DS320PR410 GUI and configuration of the GUI to program the DS320PR410.. This page is used to set up the GUI for correct device communication over SMBus/I²C.

1. Launch the SigCon Architect EVM GUI v3 application.
2. Click the Configuration tab below the DS320PR410 profile on the left side of the GUI, as shown in Figure 2-1.

4. Select the correct interface adapter below the Interface drop-down menu (USB2ANY or Aardvark). After selecting the correct interface adapter, click Apply to connect to the selected DS320PR410 devices. As shown in Figure 2-3, if the correct interface adapter is selected and the SMBus addresses are configured correctly, the status indicator in the bottom-left corner of the GUI shows a green LED and the text Connected. After successful connection, the other tabs under the DS320PR410 profile become available for selection. Click the desired tab on the left side of the GUI to begin programming the device / devices.

5. By default, the GUI is configured to communicate with the DS320PR410-RSC-EVM evaluation module, which contains 8 DS320PR410 devices (4 facing Downstream, 4 facing Upstream). However, the DS320PR410 GUI also allows for support of between 1 and 16 DS320PR410 devices using the EVM Model drop-down menu to select the DS320PR410EVM-CUSTOM model, shown in Figure 2-4.

   Using the Edit Device Address button, the desired number of Downstream and Upstream DS320PR410 devices for GUI configuration can be selected, as shown in Figure 2-5. After selecting the desired device counts and the SMBus addresses, press the OK button. Then, click Apply to apply the edited configuration to the GUI.

   Note: Downstream and Upstream device addresses are assigned in increasing sequenial numeric order and can be manually edited to reflect orientation of the redrivers in the system.

Optionally, general GUI functionality can be explored in Demo Mode, which can be selected using the check-box in the upper-right corner of the GUI. When in Demo Mode, the GUI does not attempt to communicate to any device over an interface adapter. Figure 2-6 shows an example of the DS320PR410 GUI in Demo Mode. where the status indicator in the bottom right corner indicates a red LED and the text Demo Mode. To access all pages of the GUI in Demo Mode, click the Apply button.
