Hardware

 The netRAPID90 Evaluation board NRPEB H90 is always equipped with a NRP H90\F8D8. Therefore COM firmware in UseCase A or C can be used. More info can found in the Technology Section        

 netRAPID 90 covers two different approaches:

      Companion Solution - preloaded with fixed function set.
      In this approach the OEM doesn’t want to deal with any FDL or HWC creation and       doesn’t need netXStudio CDT

      Standalone Solution - naked hardware as programming platform
      In this approach 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.

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)
