DIABLO16 PROCESSOR
10. Memory Cards - FAT16 Format
The DIABLO16 Processor uses off the shelf
standard SDHC/SD/micro-SD memory cards with
up to 2GB capacity usable
with FAT16 formatting.
For any FAT file related
operations, before the
memory card can be used
it must first be formatted
with FAT16 option. The
formatting of the card can be done on any PC
system with a card reader. Select the appropriate
drive and choose the FAT16 (or just FAT in some
systems) option when formatting. The card is now
ready to be used in the DIABLO16 based
application.
The DIABLO16 Processor
also supports high capacity
HC memory cards (4GB and
above). The available
capacity of SD-HC cards
varies according to the way
the card is partitioned and the commands used to
access it.
The FAT partition is always first (if it exists) and can
be up to the maximum size permitted by FAT16.
Windows 7 will format FAT16 up to 4GB. Windows
XP will format FAT16 up to 2GB and the Windows
XP command prompt will format FAT16 up to 4GB.
Note: A SPI Compatible SDHC/SD/micro-SD card
MUST be used. Diablo16 along with other 4D
Systems Processors require SPI mode to
communicate with the SD card. If a non-SPI
compatible SD card is used then the processor will
simply not be able to mount the card.
11. Hardware Tools
The following hardware tools are required for full
control of the DIABLO16 Processor.
4D Programming Cable & Adaptor 11.1.
The 4D Programming Cable and uUSB-PA5
Programming Adaptors are essential hardware
tools to program, customise and test the
DIABLO16 Processor.
Either the 4D Programming Cable or the uUSB-PA5
Programming Adaptor can be used.
The 4D programming interfaces are used to
program a new Firmware/PmmC, Display Driver
and for downloading compiled 4DGL code into the
processor. They even serve as an interface for
communicating serial data to the PC.
The 4D Programming Cable and uUSB-PA5
Programming Adaptor are available from 4D
Systems, www.4dsystems.com.au
Using a non-4D programming interface could
damage your processor, and void your Warranty.
