/** @defgroup boards_msba2 MSB-A2 @ingroup boards @brief Support for the ScatterWeb MSB-A2 board ## Overview ![MSBA2 image](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/RIOT-OS/RIOT/images/MSBA2_photo.jpg) ## Hardware | MCU: | LPC2387 ARM7-TDMI | |-----------|-------------------| | RAM: | 96KiB | | Flash: | 512KiB | # More info ## Board Schematics ![Board schematics](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/RIOT-OS/RIOT/images/MSBA2_layout.png) ## Circuit Diagrams ![Circuit Diagram](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/RIOT-OS/RIOT/images/MSBA2_circuit_front.png) ![Circuit Diagram II](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/RIOT-OS/RIOT/images/MSBA2_circuit_back.png) [MSB-A2 page @ Freie Universität Berlin/CST](https://www.mi.fu-berlin.de/inf/groups/ag-tech/projects/ScatterWeb/modules/mod_MSB-A2.html) ## Flashing The MSB-A2 is programmed via an ISP bootloader over UART. The board includes an FTDI USB-TTL converter, which is connected to the left USB Mini-B connector (see picture above). Connect the MSB-A2 using that connector to your PC and run from within the folder of your application to flash: BOARD=msba2 make flash You'll notice that during the first invocation takes a bit longer, as the tool `lpc2k_pgm` used to flash the MSB-A2 is also compiled. You can connect to the shell by running: BOARD=msba2 make term ## Debugging Some rigorous hardware modification is needed to access the JTAG interface of the MSB-A2. ![MSB-A2 modified to access JTAG](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maribu/images/master/MSB-A2-JTAG.jpg) The following wires need to be soldered on: | Signal | Place | |:--------------|:----------------------------------------------------------| | JTAG-TDO | IC2, Pin 1 | | JTAG-TDI | IC2, Pin 2 | | JTAG-TMS | IC2, Pin 3 | | JTAG-TRST | IC2, Pin 4 | | JTAG-TCK | IC2, Pin 5 | | JTAG-RTCK (*) | IC2, Pin 100 | | RESET | right pad of R6 (easier to solder) **or** IC2, Pin 17 | | GND | The bottom left through-hole pad | (*) You can safely omit the connection to JTAG-RTCK. As debugger an FT2232HL is used, the cheapest version costs less 10€ (often nicknamed CJMCU-2232HL). Connect as follows: | FT2232HL | MSB-A2 | |:----------|:----------| | GND | GND | | AD0 | JTAG-TCK | | AD1 | JTAG-TDI | | AD2 | JTAG-TDO | | AD3 | JTAG-TMS | | AD4 | JTAG-TRST | | AD5 | RESET | Once this is done, debugging is as simple as running: BOARD=msba2 make debug ### Flashing via OpenOCD Theoretically you should be able to flash also via JTAG. But do not expect this to be faster. Also: Do you really want to risk bricking the MSB-A2 you spend so much time to modify? The author of this text surely didn't want to risk that... */
