4.1 S/W Introduction The mission of Advantech Embedded Software Services is to "Enhance quality of life with Advantech platforms and Microsoft Windows® embedded technology." We enable Windows® Embedded software products on Advantech platforms to more effectively support the embedded computing community. Customers are freed from the hassle of dealing with multiple vendors (Hardware suppliers, System integrators, Embedded OS distributor) for projects.
4.3.1 SUSI Introduction To make hardware easier and convenient to access for programmers, Advantech has released a suite of APIs (Application Programming Interface) in the form of a program library. The program Library is called Secured and Unified Smart Interface or SUSI for short. Application programmers can invoke the functions exported by SUSI instead of calling the drivers directly. The benefit of using SUSI is portability. The same set of APIs is defined for different Advantech hardware platforms.
4.3.2.4 The VGA Control API There are two kinds of VGA control APIs, backlight on/off control and brightness control. Backlight on/off control allows a developer to turn on or off the backlight, and to smoothly control brightness. 4.3.2.5 The Watchdog API A watchdog timer (abbreviated as WDT) is a hardware device which triggers an action, e.g. rebooting the system, if the system does not reset the timer within a specific period of time.
Extract Susi.zip. Double-click the "Setup.exe" file. The installer searches for a previous installation of the SUSI Library. If it locates one, a screen shot opens asking whether you want to modify, repair or remove the software. If a previous version is located, please see the section of [Maintenance Setup]. If it is not located, the following screen shot opens. Click Next. Express Installation: You can use Advantech CE-Builder to load the library into the image. First, you click the My Component tab.
SusiDemo.exe is an executable file and it requires the shared library, Susi.dll, to demonstrate the SUSI functions. The SusiDemo.exe source code also has two versions, i.e. Windows CE and Windows XP, and must be compiled under Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 on Windows XP or under Microsoft Embedded Visual C++ 4.0 on Windows CE. Developers must add the header file Susi.h and library Susi.lib to their own projects when they want to develop something with SUSI. 4.3.4.3 SusiDemo.exe The SusiDemo.
Chapter 4 4.3.4.4 GPIO S/W Installation When the application is executed, it will display GPIO information in the GPIO INFORMATION group box. It displays the number of input pins and output pins. You can click the radio button to choose to test either the single pin function or multiple pin functions. The GPIO pin assignments of the supported platforms are located in Appendix B. Test Read Single Input Pin – Click the radio button- Single-Pin. – Key in the pin number to read the value of the input pin.
wise, i.e. bit 0 stands for GPIO 0, bit 1 stands for GPIO 1, etc. For example, if you want to write pin 0, 1, and 3, the pin numbers should be '0x0B'. – Key in the value in (R/W) Result field from '0x01' to '0x0F' to write the value of the output pin. The pin numbers are ordered bitwise, i.e. bit 0 stands for GPIO 0, bit 1 stands for GPIO 1, etc. For example, if you want to set pin 0 and 1 high, 3 to low, the pin number should be '0x0B', and then you should key in the value '0x0A' to write.
Chapter 4 4.3.4.6 SMBus S/W Installation When the application has executed, you can click the radio button to choose to test each access mode, i.e. Access a byte, Access multiple bytes and Access a word. All data must be read or written in hexadecimal except the numbers for radio button: Access multiple bytes mode must be written in decimal. You can test the functionalities of the watchdog as follows: Read a byte – Click the radio button- Access a byte.
– Key in the desired data, such as 0x1234, in the Result field to write to the device. – Click the WRITE SMBus DATA button and the data will be written to the device through the SMBus. Read Multiple bytes – Click the radio button- Access multiple bytes. – Key in the slave device address in the Slave address field. – Key in the register offset in the Register Offset field. – Key in the desired number of bytes, such as 3, in the right side field of radio button- Access multiple bytes.
Brightness control – Move the slider up in increments, using either the mouse or the direction keys, or click the UP button to increase the brightness. – Move the slider down in decrements, using either the mouse or the direction keys, or click the DOWN button to decrease the brightness. Chapter 4 – Click the radio button OFF or push the key F12 to turn off the panel screen. – The display chip of your platform must be in the support list in Appendix A, or this function will not work.
4.3.4.9 Hardware Monitor When the Monitor application is executed by clicking the button, hardware monitoring data values will be displayed. If certain data values are not supported by the platform, the correspondent data field will be grayed-out with a value of 0.
