Description
Echelon’s Pyxos™ FT EVK Evaluation Kit is a set of hardware and software tools that you
can use to demonstrate the functions and capabilities of Pyxos FT technology and to develop your own devices that incorporate Pyxos FT technology. You can also use the
Pyxos FT EVK to develop devices that integrate a Pyxos network with a control network
based on the LonWorks® platform.
Designed for hardware, software, and firmware engineers, the Pyxos FT EVK Evaluation
Kit includes all the tools you need to use in conjunction with your existing development
tools to create new Pyxos FT applications.
Hardware
The Pyxos FT EVK includes four evaluation boards that you can use with the included example application to quickly build a working Pyxos FT network. You can also use the evaluation boards to create your own Pyxos applications. The evaluation boards incorporate a
Pyxos FT Network Chip and come with schematics so you can see their designs. The following evaluation boards are included:

• The Pyxos FT EV-Pilot Evaluation
Board is the controller for the Pyxos
EVK network. It contains an Atmel®
ARM® AT91SAM7S64 host microcontroller that is connected to, and
communicates with,
a Pyxos FT Chip. A Pyxos Pilot is
responsible for configuring, main-
uation Board is a Pyxos Point that
serves as a hosted multi-sensor for
the Pyxos EVK network. It includes
an Atmel AVR® ATtiny13 host microcontroller. The sensors measure
temperature, light level, and DC
voltage.
Pyxos Pilots and Pyxos Points.
The example application simulates a room
controller
network with analog and digital sensors,
analog and digital actuators, and a controller running on a Pyxos Pilot. The example also includes a Performance Demo that
you can use
to demonstrate Pyxos FT network determinism. The example demonstrates several
of the major features of the Pyxos platform,
including:
• Automatic registration of Points
• Manual registration of Points
• Seamless replacement of Points
within the Pyxos FT network
• Determinism within the Pyxos FT
network
• Network security monitoring for the
Pyxos FT network
taining, and communicating with the
Pyxos Points in a Pyxos network.
The EV-Pilot can also optionally
communicate with LonWorks devices using the included FT 3150®
Smart Transceiver.
• The Pyxos FT EV-Actuator Point
Evaluation Board is a Pyxos Point
• The Pyxos FT EV-Nano Point Evaluation Board is a Pyxos Point that
serves as a simple unhosted digital
sensor and actuator for the Pyxos
EVK network. It demonstrates how
a Point can participate in a Pyxos FT
network without a host microcontroller.
The system is powered from a single included power supply that you connect to
the EV-Pilot, which then distributes 24VAC
link power over the included network cable
to the EV Points.
• Free-topology wiring with 24VAC
link power
• Optional connectivity to LonWorks
networks
Development Tools
The Pyxos FT EVK includes software that
you can use in conjunction with your host
microcontroller development tools to develop applications for Pyxos Pilot and
Pyxos Points. The software includes C
source code for a Pyxos FT application
programming interface (API) that you can
The Pyxos FT EVK includes all the cables
you need—network cables to connect all
the evaluation boards, a USB cable to connect the EV-Pilot to a Windows computer,
and an I/O cable to connect the analog
output of the EV-Actuator Point to the analog input of the EV-Sensor Point.
that serves as a hosted analog and
digital actuator for the Pyxos EVK
network. It also includes an Atmel
ARM AT91SAM7S64 host microcontroller.
You can optionally connect the EV-Pilot to
a Windows computer using a LonWorks
network. A LonWorks connection requires
a LonWorks network interface that is not
included with the Pyxos FT EVK—the details of this hardware are listed in the System Specifications section.
• The Pyxos FT EV-Sensor Point Eval-
Example Network
Application
The Pyxos FT EVK comes with example
software that demonstrates a complete
control system using the included evaluation boards, and shows how you can use a
Windows computer to monitor and control
a Pyxos network through a Pyxos Pilot. The
software is preloaded in the evaluation
boards, and is also included as source code
that you can use to learn how to develop

use with your applications to access a
Pyxos network from a Pyxos Pilot, or to interact with a Pyxos Pilot from a Pyxos
Point. You can also port this software to

other microcontrollers if you are using a
microcontroller that is not included with
the Pyxos EVK. The software also includes
the Pyxos FT Interface Developer utility
that simplifies development of Pyxos applications that use the Pyxos API.
The EV-Pilot and the EV-Actuator Point
Evaluation Boards include a header connector that provides external access to the
host microcontroller memory. You can use
the JTAG header connector to load a new
Pyxos application firmware into the host
processor for the EV-Pilot or the EV-Actuator Point. The EV-Sensor Point Evaluation
Board includes a connector that provides
access to the AVR programmed I/O (PIO)
line that you can use to download applications to the Tiny13 processor on the EVSensor Point.
You can also use the evaluation boards to
test or debug applications for the Pyxos FT
platform that use host microcontrollers different from the ones used on the evaluation
boards. You can replace the AVR host microcontroller on the EV-Sensor Point Evaluation Board with your own host
microcontroller using the Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI) header on the evaluation
board.
