an nVidia Quadro2 700XGL graphics adapter in a Dell Precision Workstation 530 with good
results.
2.3. Hardware Setup Procedure
1. Remove each UWB transceiver from its packing materials.
2. Place each transceiver so that it has a direct line of site to the other transceivers.
3. Remove the two antennas and associated semi-flexible coaxial cable for each Node
from their packing.
4. Attach each antenna to its semi-flexible coaxial cable and connect said cable to one of
the two RF connectors on the UWB transceiver housing.
5. Connect each AC transformer to an AC power socket providing the proper voltage and
current as rated on the transformer. Plug the other end of the transformer into the
receptacle on the transceiver housing.
6. Connect a Linux PC to the each Node via a 1394 cable.
3. Configuring Evaluation Kit Hardware
If you are receiving XSUWBWDK as an upgrade the firmware internal to the MC270141 MAC
must be upgraded.
3.1. Updating MC270141 Firmware
An Altera programming application (Quartus II Web Edition) must be downloaded from the
Altera Web site in order to update Evaluation Kit firmware. As discussed below, this application
is usually located this file in the download section of the Alter Web site.
Note 1: The Altera programming software does not support automatic FPGA device detection
so it is important that the correct firmware upgrade files be selected. Also, the versions
listed above have been successfully used by Motorola personnel to update firmware.
Later versions are also likely to work for this purpose.
To update WDK MAC firmware:
1. Connect the ByteBlaster cable to the parallel port of the PC and the 10 pin programming
port of the radio. The red stripe on the cable indicates pin one, which corresponds to Pin
1 on programming connector on the radio board. Pin 1 is closest to the end of the radio
where the power supply connector is.
2. Power on the UWB Node to be programmed.
3. Download the Altera Quartus II Web Edition software. It can be found on the Altera Web
site (https://www.altera.com
) by clicking the hyperlinks “download” and then “Quartus II
Web Edition.”
4. Run the Altera Quartus II application on the Windows PC to which the ByteBlaster cable
is attached. The Quartus version should be 2.1 or later.
5. A web license is available from www.altera.com
. A license is not required for
programming only. If no license is available do the following
a. When prompted, Click on “specify valid license”
b. Click OK
c. Click cancel on the next dialog box
