Compliance
The ‘FS2003 Programmer’, ‘FS2009 Programmer’ and ‘FS2009USB Programmer’ are CE
Approved Products. They are designed for use in an ESD controlled environment i.e. in development
or production. This means, therefore, that the user must ensure that there is no possibility of damage
from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Since the devices and equipment to which this product is likely to
be connected may well themselves be susceptible to ESD, this should not pose any difficulty.
For example, if you are handling microcontrollers and EEPROMS etc. then you will already be used to
appropriate precautions, such as the use of anti-static mats, wrist straps and so on. You should treat
your programmer with the same care as you would these types of devices. Always ensure that you
are not yourself carrying a static charge before handling the product. Wearing an earthed anti-static
wrist strap is recommended.
Equinox have taken great care in designing this product to be compliant with the European EMC
directive. When using the equipment be sure to follow the instructions provided. Although RF
emissions are within prescribed limits, care should be taken if you are using the product near to
sensitive apparatus. If you experience any difficulty please refer to Equinox Technical Support.
ESD Points to remember
•
Work in a static-free environment.
•
Wear an earthed wrist strap when handling either the programmer and/or
any programmable device.
•
Ensure that the PC, programmer and Target system are connected to the
same EARTH (0V) potential.
•
Do NOT plug the ISP cable of the programmer into a Target System when
the Target power is ON.
Warning!
Any damage caused to the programmer by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) through inadequate
earthing is not covered under the warranty of the product.

FS2009USB - Portable ISP Programmer - User Guide V1.10 – 05/04/12
1.0 Programmer Overview / Specifications
1.1 Programmers covered in this manual
This manual covers the following Equinox programmers:
• FS2009USB
• FS2009
1.2 Comparison of the FS2009USB and FS2009 programmers
The FS2009USB programmer is exactly the same hardware as the FS2009 programmer except that
the RS232 COM port on the FS2009 has been replaced by a USB port on the FS2009USB. This
allows the FS2009 programmer to support high-speed USB communications with a host PC. In most
circumstances, it is also possible to power the FS2009USB programmer internal electronics from the
PC USB port. It is NOT possible to power an attached target board when powering the programmer
from the PC USB port.
The FS2009USB programmer will load and execute exactly the same ‘Standalone Programming
Projects’ as the FS2009 programmer. It is also backwards compatible with the FS2003 programmer.
1.3 Comparison of the FS2009 & FS2003 programmers
The FS2009 & FS2003 programmers are based on exactly the same hardware design. The only
difference is that the FS2009USB features a more up-to-date microcontroller which has more on-chip
firmware space and more RAM. This allows the FS2009 to hold more algorithms in memory and thus
support more devices compared to the FS2003 programmer. It also makes many of the algorithms
significantly faster as the extra RAM allows the algorithm to be optimised.
The advantages of the FS2009 programmer are as follows:
Programming speed:
• Faster AVR algorithms in PC controlled modes (EDS, ConsoleEDS and ISP-PRO)
• Faster AT91SAM7 algorithms in PC controlled modes (EDS, ConsoleEDS and ISP-PRO)
Additional device support (only available on FS2009USB):
• Atmel AT91SAM7 – ARM7 FLASH microcontrollers
• NXP LPC21xx - ARM7 FLASH microcontrollers
• I2C Serial EEPROMs
Availability:
• The FS2009USB programmer is available from stock.
• The FS2009 programmer has been replaced by the FS2009 programmer.
• The FS2003 is only available by special order and is subject to an MOQ.
FS2009USB - Portable ISP Programmer - User Guide V1.10 – 05/04/2012
11
1.4 FS2009USB, FS2009 & FS2003 Project Compatibility
As the FS2003 and FS2009 / FS2009USB programmers are based on the same hardware design,
any ‘Standalone Programming Projects’ developed for use on the FS2003 programmer can also be
used on the FS2009 / FS2009USB programmer without requiring any modifications.
•
•
•
12
Projects designed for the FS2003 programmer can be uploaded to the FS2009 / FS2009USB
programmer without any modifications.
Projects designed for the FS2009 / FS2009USB programmer can be uploaded to the FS2003
programmer as long as they are not for any of the device families which are only supported on
the FS2009 / FS2009USB programmer.
The latest version of EQTools / ConsoleEDS or ISP-PRO is required which supports the
newer FS2009 / FS2009USB programmer.

2.6 Earthing requirements
2.6.1 Overview
When setting up the programmer to In-System Program (ISP) a device on a Target System, extreme
care must be taken to ensure that the 0V of the PC, programmer, Target System and any external
devices are at the same ‘earth potential’. If you are using the programmer with a laptop computer,
please read section 3.2.2 carefully.
ESD Points to remember
Failure to follow correct ESD procedures when using this product could lead to
damage to the programmer and/or the Target System.
• Wear an earthed wrist strap when handling either the programmer and/or
any programmable device.
• Ensure that the PC, programmer, Target System and any external devices
are all connected to the same GROUND potential.
2.6.2 Laptop earthing issues
The Problem:
Most laptops use an external double-insulated mains power supply which is not earthed to mains
earth. This means that the laptop earth is likely to be floating at some voltage other than 0V. If the
programmer is attached to the PC USB port with the PC powered ON and then the ISP lead is
plugged into an earthed Target System, then the PC GROUND will discharge through the PC USB
port GROUND, through the programmer into the Target System. This ESD may damage both the
programmer and the Target System!
The Solution
• Ensure that the laptop is powered OFF when connecting the ISP cable from the programmer
to an earthed Target system
• Use the programmer in Standalone Mode if possible (ie. not connected to a PC)
2.6.3 Desktop PC earthing issues
The Problem:
The chassis on desktop PC must be connected to mains earth to comply with Health and Safety
legislation. If the chassis is not earthed for some reason, the PC power supply GROUND will be
floating and it is then possible to discharge a high level of energy stored in the power supply mains
filter through the programmer into the Target System. This ESD may damage both the programmer
and the Target System!
The solution:
• Ensure that the PC chassis is properly earthed to mains earth.
• Connect an earthing bond wire from the PC chassis to the GROUND connection of either the
programmer or the Target system / Test Fixture.
34
FS2009USB - Portable ISP Programmer - User Guide V1.10 – 05/04/12
2.6.4 Earthing recommendations
To avoid catastrophic damage to PC, programmer or target system:
• Ensure that both your target system and PC are connected to a common earth point
• Make sure that all interconnections are made before applying power to PC and target system
•
•
•
If you are using a laptop or PC which is not connected to mains earth, it is recommended that
you make a hard-wired connection from the USB connector shell and the target system to a
common earth point
Avoid plugging and unplugging ISP connector while either the PC or Target System is
powered up
Please ensure that any devices connected to the user target system are also properly
grounded to the same common earth point
Warning!
Any damage caused to the programmer by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) through inadequate
earthing is not covered under the warranty of the product.

2.8 Testing the programmer hardware
a
Apply power to the programmer
Programmer circuitry powers up to 5.0V.
If you have a ‘Current Limit’ on your power
supply, turn it to approximately 20mA and
then gradually increase it until the
programmer ‘FAIL’ LED starts to FLASH.
Target Vcc LED illuminates
The LED will illuminate if a target voltage
between 3.0 and 5.0V is detected.
FAIL LED flashes to indicate that the
programmer has rebooted. *** The FAIL LED no
longer flashes with firmware version 2.46 or
greater)
The programmer display now initialises to
show the programmer type, firmware version
etc. See 2.7(b), (c), (d).
b
No Programming Projects Loaded
•
If the programmer has never been used
before or the on-board FLASH Memory
Store has been erased, then the
programmer will display the message:
‘No / Invalid Project Loaded’. This is
normal as the programmer ‘FLASH
Memory Store’ is empty so the
programmer cannot be used in
Standalone Mode.
•
It is not possible to check the
programmer information until a valid
project is uploaded. Please upload a
valid project to the programmer using
EQTools and then try again.
•
The programmer display now shows the
programmer type and the firmware
version.
e.g. 4.00.
You can check that you have the very

3.0 Programmer – Getting Started Guide
3.1 Software Overview
The FS2009 / FS2009USB programmer is supplied with a comprehensive Integrated Development
Environment (IDE) called the ‘EQTools Software Suite’. This software supports creation and testing
of so-called ‘Standalone Programming Projects’ which can then be uploaded to the programmer for
use in ‘Standalone Mode’. EQTools contains many separate utilities most of which are enabled as
standard for this programmer. Certain options such as compiling and running of ‘Programming
Scripts’ must be purchased from Equinox as a ‘License upgrade’.
The table below details the various EQTools components and whether they are enabled as standard.

3.2 Programmer Control Mechanisms
The programmer can be controlled from EQTools, using the programmer keypad / display, from a
Remote System and via the Equinox ISP-PRO software. An overview of the various control
mechanisms is given below.
Standalone Operation (Keypad)
This indicates that the programmer can be operated without being connected to a PC or other control
system. In this case an operator can control programming operations using a keypad on the
programmer e.g. Epsilon5, FS2003, FS2009USB, PPM3-MK2, PPM4-MK1
ASCII Text Mode Control
This indicates that the programmer can be controlled using a simple 'ASCII Serial Communications
Protocol'. This is ideal for applications where a Remote System wishes to control the programmer
using a serial communications link e.g. RS-232. This method only supports execution of ‘Standalone
Programming Projects’ which have been previously uploaded to the programmer.
42

LCD Display
Buttons
Status LED’s
PRESS YES TO
PROGRAM TARGET
This mode is ideal for both field and production ISP requirements as the programming data is held
locally in FLASH memory on the programmer so a PC is not required.
Before using Standalone Mode you need to:
• Connect Programmer to PC USB port
• Upload a valid Project Collection to containing 1 – 64 Programming Projects to the
programmer. This will be retained in the Programmer ‘Flash Memory Store’ even once the
power is removed.
• It is a good idea to test these projects using EDS (Equinox Development Suite) before
uploading them to the programmer.
• Disconnect the programmer from the PC
Please note:
It is recommended that all Programming Projects are fully tested and debugged using the EDS
(Equinox Development Suite) utility BEFORE uploading them to the programmer. This can save a lot
of time as problems are much easier to debug within the EDS environment.

To lock the Programmer Keypad:
o Open your Programming Project in Project Builder or EDS
o Select the tab
o Check the ‘Lock Keypad’ box
o Re-compile the project
o Upload the project to the programmer
This is how the programmer works when the ‘Keypad lock’ function is activated:
o User powers up the programmer
o User can then use the and keys to select the required project
o User selects the required projects ONCE and executes this project
o When this project has finished, the programmer now repeats the same project.
o The only way to be able to re-select the project is to power the programmer off and then on
again.
Please note:
The ‘Keypad lock’ function feature is only available in firmware 3.01 or above.

3.7 ASCII Text Communications Mode
3.7.1 Overview
The ‘ASCII Text Control’ communications protocol or ‘ATC’ is designed as a simple way for a
Remote Test System to control the basic programming operations of an Equinox programmer via an
RS-232 or USB serial link. It is an ‘ASCII’ protocol with simple commands to initiate programming of
pre-loaded ‘Programming Projects’ which are stored in the on-board ‘FLASH Memory Store’ of the
programmer. The protocol supports up to 64 independent Programming Projects per programmer, but
is limited to one programmer.
Implementation of this protocol is straightforward due to the limited number of commands and
restricted functionality. As this is an ASCII protocol, it can be quickly evaluated using any Terminal
Emulation Software Utility such as Hyperterminal.
3.7.2 Limitations of this protocol
This protocol has been designed as a simple method to allow a Remote Application such as an InCircuit Tester to control the basic operations of an Equinox programmer. The programmer only
supports the programming of entire ‘Programming Projects’ which are already uploaded to the
programmer on-board FLASH memory. This protocol does not support writing / reading of individual
bytes or blocks of data to / from a Target Device.
The limitations of this protocol are as follows:
1. The protocol only supports programming of Programming Projects which are pre-loaded into
the Programmer on-board FLASH Memory Store.
2. The protocol does not support writing / reading of individual bytes or blocks of data to / from a
Target Device.
3. The protocol does not support uploading of ‘Programming Projects’ to the programmer. This
must be performed using the EQTools – Project Upload Wizard.
4. Only very limited diagnostics are available using this protocol ie. FAIL + Error Number.
3.7.3 Further Information
A full description of this protocol can be found in the Application Note ‘AN110 - ASCII Text Control
(ATC) Protocol for Remote Control of Equinox Programmers’.

4.0 ISP Header Selection
4.1 Overview
The FS2009USB programmer caters for many different connection methods to a Target System by
featuring FOUR possible ISP Header connectors. Each header provides the necessary signals to
program the Target Device plus Vcc (power) and GND (Ground). The choice of which header to use
depends on the ‘device type’ and the algorithm being employed to program the device.
To locate the ISP Headers (J3, J6, J7 & J8), remove the four screws from the back of the programmer
and then carefully remove the lid. If you hold the programmer with the RS-232 connector towards
your, the four ISP headers will be in the positions shown in the figure below. Pin 1 is designated on
each header and should match with the corresponding pin 1 of the cable to be plugged into the
header.
Please see section 4.2 for an overview of each ISP Header.

4.4 J3 - Atmel 6-way ISP Header (SPI Interface)
This connection method is suitable for interfacing the programmer to a Target System which features
the following:
• Atmel 6-way IDC ISP Header
• An Atmel device which features the 3-wire SPI + RESET Programming Interface
The 6-way IDC box header is the most compact header i.e. takes up least space on the Target
System and so is very popular for designs where PCB space is limited. Unfortunately, this connection
method does not have any pins spare for extra functionality such as the SCK2 Oscillator so it should
only be used if this functionality is not required.
To implement this connection method, simply plug a 6-way ISP cable (not supplied) into the
Programmer ISP Header J3 and plug the other end of the cable into the matching header on the
Target System.

4.10 ISP Cable considerations
The programmer is supplied with a single 10-way ISP Cable as standard. This cable is terminated
with a 10-way IDC 0.1” female polarised plug at each end. The cable is wired as a so-called ‘straightthrough’ cable with pin 1-1, 2-2 etc. The polarised ISP Header ensures that the ISP Cable cannot be
plugged in the wrong way around by mistake. If you are planning to design such a header onto your
Target System, it is strongly recommended that a similar polarised header is used. This will help to
prevent accidental damage to both the programmer and the Target System.
Pin 1 of the ISP cable can be determined by looking for a small arrow on the plastic part of the ISP
female plug. If the cable has a RED stripe on one cable, this usually also indicates pin 1.
If you are using the programmer in a production environment and constantly plugging / unplugging the
ISP cable into/from the Target System, you may find that the cable eventually fails. Spare ISP cables
can be ordered from Equinox in this eventuality.

1.0 Overview
It is necessary to use a special ‘ARM ISP Cable’ to connect between an Epsilon5, FS2003, FS2009
or FS2009USB programmer and an ARM ‘Target System’. This cable converts the programmer pinout to the standard 20-way ARM JTAG pin-out suitable for plugging into a 20-way IDC socket on any
ARM Target System. It also provides a safe way of powering the Target System from the
programmer at 3.3V if required.

1.3 Power Supply - Selection Jumper
If you have version ‘V1.1’ of the ‘NXP LPC2xxx ISP Cable’ then you will find a ‘3-way Jumper Link’
on the circuit board. This jumper is used to configure how the Programmer and Target System are
powered. The jumper is labelled ‘IN’ and ‘OUT’ on the actual PCB. Please refer to the table below to
select the correct powering method for your application.

feed +5V directly to the Target System. This +5V could damage circuitry on the Target System if it is
only designed to run at 3.3V.
1.4 Cable Installation Instructions
These instructions detail how to fit the ‘ARM ISP Cable’ to an Epsilon5, FS2003 or FS2009USB
programmer.
Instructions:
• The ‘ARM Programming Cable’ has a small circuit board on one end which plugs into the
ISP headers inside the programmer. On the other end it features a 20-way IDC plug.
• Remove the top cover of the programmer.
• Make sure the both the programmer and your Target System are powered OFF.
• Plug the circuit board end of the ‘ARM Programming Cable’ into the programmer ISP
headers – see example picture of cable fitted to FS2003 / FS2009USB programmer below.

•
Make sure that the 2 x 10-way connectors are correctly aligned so that the 2-way header J9
aligns with the 2-way header on the cable.
Decide on how you wish to power the programmer and Target Board – set the ‘Power Supply
– Selection Jumper’ accordingly – see section 1.3
You are now ready to program an ARM device via JTAG.
Important note
If you are using the Equinox ‘ARM ISP Cable’ to program an NXP LPC2xxx microcontroller, please
check that the resistor R6 is removed from the circuit board. This resistor is connected to a 47k ohm
pull-up to Vcc and will pull the RTCK pin HIGH preventing the NXP LPC2xxx device from entering
‘Debug Mode’ using the ‘JTAG Interface’.
1.5 Getting Started
Once you have the installed into the programmer and connected to your Target System, then you are
ready to program an ARM device.
Instructions:
• Check that you have selected the correct position for the ‘Power Supply – Selection
Jumper’ – see section 1.3
• To be on the safe side, measure the voltage on pin 1 of the 20-way IDC connector. If the
programmer is powering the Target System, then this voltage should 3.3V.
• If you are using the Equinox ‘ARM ISP Cable’ to program an NXP LPC2xxx microcontroller,
please check that the resistor R6 is removed from the circuit board.
• Connect the ‘ARM Programming Cable’ to the 20-way IDC connector on your
LPC2xxxTarget System
• Power up the programmer first this makes sure that the programmer Line Drivers are
powered BEFORE you power up the Target Board.
• Power up the Target Board
• Check that the programmer and Target Board power up OK.
1.6 ARM JTAG Debug Header
The pin-out of the 20-way IDC connector end of the cable is shown in the diagram below.
ARM JTAG Debug Header
The connector is a 20-pin bump-polarised IDC
connector with 0.1” pin spacing.
Pin 1 is the top right pin as shown in the diagram
opposite.
