ETAS Hardware Description
4 Hardware Description
In this chapter, the function blocks of the ETK-V1.1 are explained in detail.
4.1 VertiCal Interface Concept
4.1.1 Overview
The VertiCal interface is a new concept to connect the development ECU with an
ETK. It uses a microcontroller in a chip scale package (CSP). This chip is fully
compatible to the standard microcontroller.
ETKs with VertiCal interface concept can be designed with smaller mechanical
dimensions than ETKs with standard interface.
In the VertiCal interface the microcontroller device of the ETK is not mounted on
the ETK board, but on an additional board, the VertiCal base board.
Fig. 4-1 VertiCal Interface Concept (Side View)
The ETK is mechanically "splitted" and its components are mounted on two dif-
ferent boards:
• the VertiCal base board with
– a microcontroller in chip scale package (CSP)
– VertiCal connector (provides access to the ECU microcontroller adapter
and the VertiCal top board)
• the VertiCal top board (ETK-V1.1) with
– ETK interface (converts microcontroller signals into tool interface)
–Nexusinterface.
4.1.2 VertiCal Base Board
The printed circuit board (PCB), one of the VertiCal base board components, is
used as a base to mount the other components of the VertiCal base board.

ETAS Hardware Description
The upper side of the printed circuit board is fitted with
• the microcontroller device (packaged into the specified CSP package),
• the VertiCal connector (standardized 156-way connector).
Fig. 4-3 VertiCal Base Board (fitted with Solder Balls, Side View)
The lower side of the printed circuit board has a footprint similar to that used by
MPC5500 family devices in standard production packages.
The lower side of the board is fitted either
• with solder ball footprints for direct and permanent soldered connection
to the development ECU PCB (see Fig. 4-3) or
• with a "BGA adapter" connector allowing connection and removal from
an ECU development PCB which has been fitted with a compatible "BGA
receiver" socket (see Fig. 4-4).
Fig. 4-4 VertiCal Base Board (fitted with Pin Array/ BGA Adapter, Side View)
4.1.3 Typical Usage
The standard ECU microcontroller is replaced by the VertiCal base board with the
same dimensions and the same pinout.
The VertiCal base board connects the ECU with the ETK-V1.1.
4.2 Architecture
Fig. 4-5 "ETK-V1.1 Architecture" shows the blockdiagram of the ETK-V1.1.
The microcontroller can read via the VertiCal connector from one of the two
pages of the data emulation memory and can write its data directly to the mea-
surement data memory. These two memories (data emulation memory, mea-
surement data memory) are using the same address space and are realized inside
the same DPRs.

ETK-V1.1 - User’s Guide 18
ETAS Hardware Description
Fig. 4-5 ETK-V1.1 Architecture
Through the lower side of the base printed circuit board the microcontroller can
communicate with other external memories or peripheral components of the
development ECU.
While the microcontroller accesses the program data (not the program code) out
of the data emulation memory, the content of the data emulation memory can
simultaneously be modified by the calibration and development system through
the serial ETK-interface. This process enables adjustments of parameters, charac-
teristic lines and maps through the calibration and development system. Using
an additional measurement data memory area, the ECU microcontroller can send
data to the calibration and development system which receives, buffers and pro-
cesses this measured data.
A flash memory is available for permanent storage of the adjusted parameters
(program data).
The 100 Mbit/s serial interface provides communication with the calibration and
development system.
The power supply for the ETK-V1.1 is provided by a switch mode power supply,
to minimize power dissipation.
4.3 Microcontroller Interface
The whole microcontroller interface to the calibration and development system
memory has a 16 bit wide data bus and uses only one chip select for read and
write accesses.
The microcontroller can read and write its data directly from or to the data emu-
lation and measurement data memory. Fig. 4-6 and Fig. 4-7 show an overview of
a system with external Flash, RAM and additional data emulation and measure-
ment memory (ETK memory). The microcontroller can read and write its data
directly from or to the ETK memory. ETK memory chip select (/CS_ETK) can be
configured to any of /CS[3:0]1
1. /CS1 is not available for VertiCal base boards with MPC5553 microcontroller.

ETAS Hardware Description
4.4 VertiCal Connector
The VertiCal connector interfaces the ETK-V1.1 with the ECU and provides
access to the microcontrollers external bus and JTAG/Nexus interface.
4.5 Data Emulation and Data Measurement
The complete data emulation and measurement data memory consists of two
1 MByte pages (Fig. 4-8 "Data Emulation and Measurement Data Memory: 2
Pages with 1 MByte each"). The address range of the data emulation and mea-
surement memory must be 1 MByte and it must be defined at a 1 MByte bound-
ary.
Data emulation memory and measurement data memory must be located inside
this 1 MByte address range. The segmentation of this address range between
both memory parts is variable.
The measurement data memory and data emulation memory can have variable
size and offset addresses inside this fixed address range.
4.5.1 Data Emulation Memory
During operation of the ECU, only program data, not program code, can be
modified by using the data emulation memory. Modification of program code
could lead to a system crash. The program code is continuously processed out of
the internal or external memory.
Fig. 4-8 Data Emulation and Measurement Data Memory: 2 Pages with
1 MByte each
Reference data can be stored on one page ("Reference page") while the data on
the other page ("Working page") can be modified. It is possible to switch
between the two pages during operation through the application software.
4.5.2 Measurement Data Memory
The measurement data memory must be located within the address space of the
data emulation and measurement data memory. It can have variable size.
