Config Tool for Hercules Device

John Porter1

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: HALCOGEN

I have a customer who is trying to use the following peripherals on a Hercules device.

2 x USB

3 x mibSPI (Can live with 2)

2 x SPI

1 x MII

When they went to pinout the device, they found out that they cannot use all of the peripherals needed. Is there a config tool available that will allow them to try various scenarios to see if they can configure the device in a way to utilize all the peripherals that they need?

    HalCoGen has a PINMUX tab that allows you to easily see tradeoffs between pins that are muxed.

    The non-muxed pins dont' show up but they are not a problem.

    For the muxed pins you can select the IPs on the top (like MII) and it'll report conflicts on the right most column which you then need to resolve.   Since SPI/ MibSPI has lots of chip selects and you might not need them all, you might be able to remove MibSPI conflicts by not using some of the MibSPI pins - while still using the MibSPI in a reduced mode.

    MII and USB really don't have reduced function modes though so you might have trouble there.
