You can find desctiptions, pinouts and other details to all peripherals in the Development Kit manual.
This chapter describes How to start working with this demo application, but it's well documented in the “Charon 2 DB demo” page.
The Development Board contains frequently used peripherals: Ethernet
connection (10Mbit twisted pair), LCD display connector, RS232 line,
thermometer(s) connection, LED diodes as outputs, DIP switches as inputs,
I/O pins on connectors, setup jumpers etc..
The default loaded “Charon 2 DB demo” applications is well documented
(“Charon 2 DB demo page”) example of using all these peripherals.
You can find detailed Getting Started guide in the Charon 2 Development Kit manual.
After power up with shorted the “SETUP jumper”, the first page of
the serial setup should be displayed in the opened serial terminal.
RS-232 Setup is intended for use in setting Charon 2 network parameters. Before you connect the Charon 2 Development Kit into the network, the parameters should be set to the correct values for proper operation on the network (accessing the Charon 2 Development board from network).
You can see this page on the picture, follow the instructions and “Press any key to enter RS232 setup“.
The actual configuration is printed, and can be seen in the easy menu allowing change of basic network parameters.
When the Charon 2 DB peripherals demo firmware is loaded into the microcontroller, these network parameters are set to default values:
MAC= 00-0A-59-03-00-5F,
IP=192.168.1.100,
IP mask=255.255.255.0,
IP gateway=192.168.1.1
Just press “I” or “i” (non case sensitive) to assign an
IP address for the device. There is automatic mode inserting "." (dot separators) if the number in the IP address is 3 characters long. There is ENTER automaticly inserted if the last number has 3 characters. You can't use backspace key in editing..
All entered paramethers are automaticky checked before writeing to the EEPROM = you can't set GW which is out of your basic IP address range defined by the IP address and used Network MASK. It means you have to define first the module's IP address and Network MASK, than new GateWay.
When all paramethers are OK, remove the “SETUP jumper” and press “R”
for “R: Reboot (exit setup)”.
There is a ‘welcome’ HTML page and from this page the user can enter to other pages (links on page):
On NutOs status HTML pages we can see some important NutOs operating system information. The main purpose of the implemented application on Charon 2 is peripheral control. Therefore the most important link is Peripheral control to show the following HTML page :
Now you can work freely with this default application. For more details about peripherals and their programming support, please check the “Charon 2 DB demo page”.
