1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
This document comprises the Hardware User’s Manual for the ANET1553-1/-2
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 ANET1553 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 ANET1553 modules are used to simulate, monitor and inject protocol errors of
MIL-STD-1553A/B based data bus systems. The ANET1553 offers an interface for up to
two dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553 bus channels. 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 ANET1553 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.
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 MILBus Signals are connected to Twinax connectors.
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 ANET1553 are the FPGA (which includes the 1553 core,
the Processor-I/F, the Global RAM I/F), the BIU-Processor and the on board
Application Support Processor (ASP) which is based on a System-On-Chip (SOC)
hardware and running under an embedded LINUX Operating System.
The SOC hardware offers a built-in 10/100Mbit/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 128MB Global RAM (shared between BIU, HOST and ASP) and 256MB of ASP
Local RAM plus 1GB of ASP Flash memory, the ANET1553 Design offers enough
memory resources for various use cases and applications.

2 INSTALLATION
The ANET1553 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 ANET1553 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, 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 ANET1553 and store the setup.exe to your system.
3. To Start the BSP installation, double click to the setup.exe file.

2. Installation

Figure 2.1-1 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 icon:
Start | All Programs | AIM GmbH | MIL-STD-1553 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.

2.2.2.3 Powering the module
In general any external power supply which is providing the specified input voltage (see
Technical Data chapter) can be used to power the module.
An external 12VDC power supply is recommended and is provided with an ANET1553
module. All onboard voltages are generated from this voltage.
Power Up behaviour:
- when applying external power for the first time, the module will start up w/o
requiring an explicit power button press.
- as long as the external power supply is present, the module can powered down
(shutdown) and powered up via pressing the power button.
- Interrupting the external power or pressing the power button longer than
3 seconds, will force a power off without shutdown (power down) of the OS.
Note: It is recommended, but not mandatory, to shutdown (power down) the module
via the power button or the ANET web front (‘maintenance’ page) end or SSH
shell command (‘power off’ as user ‘root’) to avoid any user data corruption,
especially when having customer applications/scripts active on the module.
