SMuRF Cryostat board PIC code

SMuRF cryostat board PIC code

Description

This is the original code for the SMuRF cryostat board.

The board is bases on the microchip's microcontroller PIC32MX795F512L.

The code was developed using Microchip's MPLAB X and the MPLAB Harmony Configuration (MHC) framework.

Software package versions

The current version of the software tool used are:

• On macOS 10.15.6
  • MPLAB X: v5.40
  • HMC: v2.06
  • XC32: v2.41
• On Windows 10:
  • MPLAB X: v5.15
  • HMC: v2.06
  • XC32: v1.42

How to clone this code

This repository must be cloned in the HMC's apps directory which is locate at:

• on Windows:

C:\microchip\harmony\v2_06\apps\

• on macOS:

/Users/<YOUR_USER_NAME>/microchip/harmony/v2_06/apps

Versioning

The SPI register 0x00 contains the firmware version coded as 24-bit word. The version contains 6 digits; each digit is coded as a 4-bit HEX number. For example version R2.3.1 will be expressed as 0x020301.

This values is defined as a macro in ccard.h, and must be manually updated every time a new tagged version of this repository is built and released.

SPI protocol

The SPI protocol and its register map is described in README.SpiRegisterMap.md.
