ANET3910-EN Users Manual

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
This document comprises the User’s Manual for the ANET3910-EN standalone Ethernet
based module. The document covers the hardware and software installation, the board
connections, the technical data and a general description of the hardware architecture.
For programming information please refer to the documents listed in the ‘Applicable
Documents’ section.
The ANET3910-EN modules are members of AIM's new family of advanced Ethernet
connected standalone modules for analysing, simulating, monitoring and testing of
avionic data bus systems.
The ANET3910-EN modules are used to simulate, monitor and inject protocol errors of
STANAG-3910 based data bus systems. The ANET3910-EN offers an interface for one
dual-redundant STANAG-3910 bus. Furthermore the interface implements trigger
IN/OUT functions, as well as 8 user definable Discrete I/O signals.
An freewheeling IRIG-B-122 compatible time code Encoder/Decoder allows the user to
synchronize to either the self-generated time code or the time code of an external board
with a resolution of 1µsec, to satisfy the requirements of 'multi-channel time tag
synchronization' on system level.
The ANET3910-EN module is designed as a standalone module connected with an
Ethernet link to a host computer. An external power supply (wall adapter) is used to
power the ANET module.
For the STANAG3838 part, different coupling modes such as “Transformer Coupling”,
“Network Emulation” and “Direct Coupling” are available for each MILbus channel and
can be programmed using the on board relays.
The hardware architecture provides ample resources (i.e. processing capability and
memory) to guarantee, that all specified interface functions are available concurrently
and to full performance specifications.
The key components of the ANET3910-EN are the FPGA/SoC (which includes the 3838
core, 3910 core, the Global RAM I/F, the LS-BIU I/F, the HS-BIU Processor and the
Application Support Processor (ASP) which is running under an embedded LINUX
Operating System) and the ARM based LS-BIU-Processor.
The SoC hardware offers a built-in 10/100/1000Mbit/s Ethernet interface, which is used
for the implementation of the host connection via a Standard Ethernet RJ-45 connector.
Furthermore the SoC also offers a built-in USB interface, which has been made
available to the user for mounting external mass data storage devices or use an
optional WLAN stick for wireless Ethernet operation
With the Global RAM (shared between BIU, HOST and ASP) and the ASP Local RAM
plus the ASP Flash memory, the ANET3910-EN Design offers enough memory
resources for various use cases and applications.

2 INSTALLATION
The ANET3910-EN is a stand-alone module with an Ethernet connection to a Host PC.
This section contains the procedures used to install the Board Support Package (BSP)
and to setup the ANET3910-EN hardware. The latest BSP versions are also available
on the AIM download area (www.aim-online.com).
2.1 BSP Installation
The BSP contains a set of documents (User’s Manual, Programmers Guide, Reference
Manual), the Application Interface Library (API) DLL files, the Import Library (.LIB) with
the C Header-Files, some software samples, the compressed on board
software/firmware update file and add-ons (e.g. the AIM Network Detection Tool).
These files are automatically copied to the system (e.g. HOST PC) by installing the BSP
software package.
The software is available on DVD from AIM or via a download from AIM-Online,
instructions how to obtain the BSP via a download from AIM-Online are described in the
following chapter.
To install the BSP software from the AIM provided DVD or a download from
AIM-Online (www.aim-online.com)
1. If using the AIM provided DVD, insert the DVD into the DVD ROM drive.
The HTML Navigator will automatically start after a few seconds.
If the HTML Navigator does not start after a few seconds, the Navigator has
to be started manually. Navigate to the DVD ROM drive and double click the
index.html icon.
2. Choose the ANET3910-EN and store the setup.exe to your system.
3. To Start the BSP installation, double click to the setup.exe file.

Figure 2-1 BSP Setup
4. Once the Setup Application has been started, step through the install wizard
to complete the installation.
You will be given the opportunity to choose the directory where the BSP is to
be installed. Default locations can also be used.
The BSP installation will result in the creation of the following Program Folder icons
which can be found by going to
Start | All Programs | AIM GmbH | STANAG3910 Windows BSP 12.x.y:
The AIM GmbH sub-directory will be located by default in the
directory C:\Program Files\. The Program Files directory is
located on the drive which was chosen during BSP installation.
