Dear Sir/Madam,
We are currently designing a PCB with the DS100DF410 retimers. We would like to use the available software (Analog LaunchPAD) to configure and monitor (e.g. eye opening) our retimers. Please see the figure below.
In the future we will configure and monitor the retimers with our software on the processor board, but we need to be able to see the eye openings ‘inside’ the retimers. Is this possible with use of the evaluation board (DS100DF410EVK) or a dongle by connecting the SDA/SCL signals from the eval board/dongle to our PCB?
Or do we need to design the AT90USB1287 on our PCB? Then we can emulate an evaluation board.
So, in short: we want to use the Analog LaunchPAD to monitor and configure our retimers. What do we need to design on our PCB?
Thank you very much in advance.
