Companion Solution

Direct Selling - Preloaded communication module

The Device is sold as a product directly by Hilscher HQ, by the distributors and by the subsidiaries.


You can use netRAPID 90 as companion solution in the style of a communication module to be connected with a host CPU.

In this scenario, netRAPID 90 comes preloaded with a communication protocol and is ready to use.

For the companion solution, no netX licence or support contracts are required.

In the preloaded version, the pin assignment is fixed to certain functionality:

  • Real-Time Ethernet or Fieldbus Slave
  • SPI interface to the host CPU
  • LEDs (COM0, COM1, Link/Activity 0/1)
  • SYNC0/1
  • UART Diagnosis
  • +3.3V, GND

Standalone Solution - Programming platform like a netX90 chip

You can use netRAPID 90 in a stand-alone solution without any host.

This use case can be considered as nearly identical to the direct use of a netX 90 chip.

The pin assignment is flexible and can be adapted by the customer according to his or her needs by using the tool netX Studio CDT.

For this approach, a netX license and support agreement as well as the purchase of appropriate protocol stacks are required.

In this scenario, the netRAPID 90 is provided as a pure hardware-platform.


Option:

To reduce production costs at the OEM, Hilscher optionally offers the service to supply netRAPID 90 preloaded with customer specific content.

For further details about this service please contact the Hilscher sales team.

titleGetting Started

Software Installation for Companion Solution:

  1. Install the USB_FTDI-SPM driver (NXDIAG) to gain access to the NRPEB H90-RE Evaluationboard via the USB-SPM host interface
    → netX Diagnostic and Remote Access\2019-08-1\netX serial DPM via USB\netX USB FTDI driver installation\Windows\setup.exe
  2. Install the Device Explorer to load or update the Communication firmware on the NRPEB H90-RE
    → Device Explorer V1.2.9.28661 Setup.exe
  3. Install the Device Library
    → Device Library V1.0.41.28658 Setup.exe
  4. Install the Communication Studio to set up a configruation
    → CommunicationStudio V1.0.25.28588 Setup.exe

Software Installation for Standalone Solution:

  1. Install the USB_FTDI-SPM driver (NXDIAG) to gain access to the NRPEB H90-RE Evaluationboard via the USB-JTAG interface
    → netX Diagnostic and Remote Access\2019-08-1\netX serial DPM via USB\netX USB FTDI driver installation\Windows\setup.exe
  2. Install the netXStudio CDT to create a HWC, FDL or own application and to download to the NRPEB H90-RE
    → netX Studio CDT V1.0610.1.2808 x86 Setup - netRAPID90 only - BETA.msi

Important Note to netXStudio CDT:

  • netX Studio CDT V1.0610.1.2808 is a special version for netRAPID90 only.
  • The Pin GUI has been reduced to netRAPID90 functionality only.
  • The current version only support an address space of max 4MByte, even 8MByte Flash is equipped
    • For netRAPDI90 please use the following SQJ Flash type: Winbond W25Q32BV or W25Q32FV

    Auxiliary Tools:

    netHOST
  • Easy to use tool which can access any Hilscher product either via the host interface (DPM, SPM) or the diagnostic interface (UART, USB)
    Is used for Firmware download, diagnostics and to test I/O exchange
    • Can be found at the netX Diagnostic and Remote Access DVD
    → netX Diagnostic and Remote Access\2019-08-1\Windows Executable\netHost
  • Start your netRAPID 90 development with a netX 90 development board

    • Firmware:

    • For full support with the Hilscher tool chain the minimum firmware version has to be used:
      • PNS V5.1.0.2 or higher
      • EIS V5.1.0.2 or higher
      • ECS V5.1.0.2 or higher
    • In case a firmware version lower than mentioned above is loaded, use the auxiliary tool: netHOST

    Hardware:

  • The netRAPID90 Evaluationbaord NRPEB H90-RE is always equipped with a NRP H90-RE\F8D8.
    • Therfore COM firmware in UseCase A or C can be used. More info can found in the Technology Section
  • netRAPID90 covers to different approaches:
    • Companion Solution - preloaded with fixed function set.
      In this approach the OEM doesnt want to deal with any FDL or HWC creation and doesnt need netXStudio CDT.
    • Standalone Solution - naked hardware as programming platform
      In this aproach the OEM needs netXStudio CDT and will create all necessary firmware by himself.
  • To serve both approaches the netRAPID 90 Evaluation Board comes in the easy-to-use Companion Mode, preloaded with:
    • HWC - Hardware Config file
    • FDL - Flash Device Label
    • MFW . Maintenance Firmware
    • EIS limited Firmware (UseCase C)
  • For Standalone solutions, the OEM has to create his own files and just overwrite the existing files.

    • Differences NRPEB H90-RE and NXHX 90-JTAG

    • As the netRAPID 90 serves two use cases (Companion solution with SPM host interface and Standalone solution) there are minor differences between netX90 and netRAPID 90 evaluation boards.
      • NXHX 90-JTAG provides JTAG via USB and UART via USB interface
      • NRPEB H90-RE provides JTAG via USB and SPM via USB interface
    • For UART via USB access on NRPEB H90-RE please use an external adapter, for example "USB to Serial converter" from DIGITUS (DA-70156)

    Note:

    Depending on the available memory size (Internal RAM / Flash and external SDRAM / SQI Flash) different firmware functionality can be used.

    • Firmware for small footprint, low cost and function optimized slave devices
      Use Case A firmware for internal RAM / Flash only
    • Full featured firmware for highest function requirements
      Use Case C firmware which needs external SDRAM / SQI Flash

    Details about the avaialble functionality can be found in the Technology section.

    Channel 0: Real-Time Ethernet or Fieldbus Slave (Cyclic & Acyclic I/O)

    Channel 2: IOT communication as future option


    Note1: At netRAPID90 All 3 channel can be can only be accessed in SPM host interface mode.

    Note2:  netRAPID 90 owns 4 MAC addresses (MAC0 to MAC3), which will be provided per default from the Hilscher MAC address pool.

                MAC0 will be used for RTE communication in channel 0. MAC1 and MAC2 are reserved for Real-Time Ethernet. MAC3 will be used for Raw Ethernet.

                TCP socket in channel 1 and future IoT communication in channel 2 will use the same MAC0 and IP as the RTE communication.

                Raw Ethernet in channel 1 will use MAC3. IP address will be provided from the host application.
