In the first part we have considered a circuit design and software of Host-part.
The target-side consist of device minimum system based on ATmega162 and infrared hardware unit. Device minimum system consist of ATmega162, external SRAM 8 kbyte and ISP interface. Device firmware was compiled using CodevisionAVR.
Target-Side Features are:
- Atmel AVR uC memory operations: read, write and erase.
- Memory supported: flash, eeprom and fusebits (extended also).
- SCK Frequency max. 1,3824 MHz or min. 172,8 kHz. Manually configured.
- Error detection during transmission through infrared implements CRC16.
- Data packet size 128 byte length, can be increased in future development.
- Can handle data transmission at about 15 meters max.
- Developed for all Atmel AVR series but still partially tested (different SCK frequency of specific AVR series aren’t examined).
- Maximum target memory operation can handle is 8192 byte (8 kbyte). It depend on the external SRAM size now but it can be changed in firmware algorithm.
