  6. USB Interface & Software Group Group Leader Robert Dickerson Group Members Clay Ayers Asad Khan

  7. Used to diagnose and setup the TRF6900 • Parallel port problems TI Software • Inability to cancel a diagnostic test pattern • Lacked the ability to be used with the USBSIMM

  8. “Improved” TI Software

  9. Will program the TRF6900 with the parallel port “Improved” TI Software • Automatically selects USBSIMM when connected • Option to reset settings to default when switching between TX/RX modes • Changed frequency error adjustment to amount of error in the signal • Non-integer testing durations

  10. InstantSquawker

  11. Chat program with file transfer capabilities InstantSquawker • Uses a basic protocol between itself and the USBSIMM board • Automatically detects and interfaces with the USBSIMM module and programs the TRF6900 on connection

  12. Starting Point Initialize USBSIMM Reset and Disable TRF6900 Do Nothing in Main Loop USB Firmware

  13. Setup packets from the PC USB Firmware • Data packets to send over the RF link • PC request to read the IN buffer • Serial port TX/RX
