General information
A simple platform for the ECIO to allow connections to
standard E-block boards. The board also provides an
input for an external power supply as well as a header for
in circuit serial programming (ICSP).

• E-blocks compatible ports
Circuit description
1. Description
The circuit board consists of a means of connecting
E-blocks to an ECIO module. The circuit board also allows
for a regulated external power supply to be connected as
a means of powering the ECIO. The bridge rectier allows
for either polarity to be input from the external power
supply. There is also a PICkit compatible ICSP header
which allows for the ECIO to be fully reprogrammed.
Warning: If the ICSP connector is used to program the
ECIO then the bootloader onboard the ECIO may be
corrupted or overwritten. If this occurs then Matrix
Multimedia holds no responsibility for the loss of
bootloader and will not release or make available the
bootloader code.
ECIO ARM warning: When using the ECIO ARM device
with the EB061 E-block the TST jumper J12 should
be retained in the default position. Moving the TST
jumper to the non default position will delete the USB
bootloader loaded into the device and cause the ARM
device to reset to factory settings. This can be used to
reload the matrix USB bootloader if it becomes damaged
or corrupted. See the bootloader reashing instructions
available from the Flowcode ARM installation or the ECIO
ARM documentation.
Any ECIO PIC devices that have lost their bootloader can
be returned to Matrix Multimedia to be restored but a
charge will be incurred.
Contact [email protected].uk for details.
2. 3.3V operation
This board is only compatible with upstream boards
operating o 3.3V when the ECIO ARM device is plugged
into the E-block. ECIO PIC devices always run at 5V to
allow the chip to run fast enough for the USB to work
correctly.
