SONET Chipset EVM User Guide

1 Introduction

The SONET Evaluation Module (SONET EVM) consists of two subsystems. The first

subsystem consists of an IBM-compatible PC, which is supplied by Mindspeed Technologies,

containing the SONET Evaluation Module Board. This “Host PC” and its application software

run on VxWorks, a real-time operating system. The second subsystem consists of the SONET

EVM GUI software running on a Windows-based PC, which the user must supply. This “Host

PC” provides the user an interface to the “Target PC” through the SONET EVM GUI software.

Communication between the two subsystems is through Ethernet. Socket-based messages

originating from the SONET EVM GUI software residing on the host PC are processed by the

VxWorks application residing on the target PC. The target PC responses to the host PC’s

messages, or requests, by sending back request status and requested information, if any. The

SONET Evaluation Module Platform is illustrated in the figure below. High-level details of the

software architectures are shown in Figure 2.

As shown in figure 2, the SONET EVM GUI software consists of three software layers.

The highest layer is the Graphical User Interface. The GUI allows the user to execute device-

driver commands and operate the EVM at a higher level of abstraction, or without the need to

know all the details of the device drivers. Messages of the chosen operations or commands are

passed down to the second layer for processing. The second layer consists of software modules,

whose jobs are to service the messages from the GUI. Messages from the GUI are translated into

specific socket-based messages to be sent to the target PC. In most cases, these socket-based

messages are one-to-one mapping to the device driver functions residing on the target

(VxWorks) PC. As such, each device, or chip, on the SONET EVM Board has a “Control”

module that is dedicated to translating, forming, and sending messages from the GUI on the

Windows-based PC to the VxWorks Application on the target PC, and vice versa. The lowest

layer is the COMM Control, who is responsible for opening and closing TCP/IP sockets, and

sending and receiving message across the communication port.

On the target (VxWorks) PC, the EVM Message Manager is the first to receive messages

from the host (Windows) PC. It deciphers received messages and processes them according to

the request. As shown in Figure 2, the EVM Message Manager calls on the corresponding

device driver functions directly to perform the requested actions from the SONET EVM GUI

software. As a side note, the device drivers are fully functional drivers. As aforementioned, the

second layer of the SONET EVM GUI software, or the individual control modules, exposes the

device driver interfaces. The full SONET GUI EVM software will allow the user to directly

access these driver entry points. Figure 2 also shows the different levels of abstraction that each

device driver has. Once the requests are processed, their status and requested information, if

any, are passed upstream from the device driver, to the EVM Message Manager, through the

Intranet/LAN, to the COMM Control, back to the control module that requested the information,

and finally displayed in the GUI in the proper format.

5 Using the SONET EVM GUI Software

The following sections describe the usage of the SONET EVM GUI Software. This beta release

of the SONET EVM GUI (Version 0.1) contains a subset of the full set of functionalities that

will be supported in the final release. The current release consists of the General Status page.

The General Status page allows the user to configure the SONET Chipset to one of the pre-

defined chipset configurations, to get status, to activate and deactivate channels, and to read and

write registers.

5.1 Starting Up

Once the hardware and software installations and setup are completed, please follow these steps

to start the evaluation process:

1. Run the supplied FTP server on the host (Windows) PC located at: C:\Mindspeed\FTP

Server\WFTPD.exe. Please refer to Section 4.5 FTP Server Configuration for more

details on configuring the FTP server.

refer to steps 4 through 15 in Section 4.4 VxWorks Application Setup on Target

(VxWorks) PC for more details on configuring the VxWorks boot-up image.

Note: step 2 depends on step 1, because the target (VxWorks) PC depends on the FTP

server on the host (Windows) PC to download the VxWorks OS and Application.

3. Run the SONET EVM GUI software by executing the executable

C:\Mindspeed\SONET_EVM\TestExec.exe. Alternatively, if a Windows Shortcut was

created, then execute the Windows Shortcut. Please refer to Section 4.3 Creating

Windows Shortcut for SONET EVM GUI Executable for more details.

4. Once the SONET EVM GUI is running, select one of the pre-defined chipset

configurations and click the “Start Monitor” button to configure the SONET chipset and

begin monitoring status. The user can activate or deactivate a logical channel on the

CX28500 in the Message group box located in the lower-right hand to begin and stop

transmission.

5.2 SONET EVM GUI – General Status Window

The General Status page, as shown in Figure 5, allows the user to:

1. Configure the SONET Chipset to run in one of the pre-defined chipset configurations.

Note(s):

1) This is the only supported operational mode for the current release of the software. This minimal software release does not indicate or reflect the limitation

of the SONET Chipset.

2) Single mode means channelized data paths are of DS1, DS2, or DS3 signal.

3) Mixed mode means data paths can contain a mixture of DS1, DS2, and DS3 signals.

5.2.2 Register Group Box

The Register group box, located on the upper-right hand, allows the user to read and write device

registers directly. The user can choose the device to access from the Device list box, which

contains all the devices currently active. Registers are specified by their address offsets as

defined in the respective device’s datasheet.

To read a register’s current content:

1. Specify the offset of the register interesting in reading into the Address edit box.

2. Click the “Read” button to request the content of that register.

To write a new value to a register:

1. Specify the offset of the register interesting in writing into the Address edit box.

2. Enter the new value into the Value edit box.

3. Click the “Write” button to update the content of the specified register.

5.2.3 CX29503 Group Box

The CX29503 group box enables the user to display CX29503’s operational status, in terms of

alarms and error counts per block-frame. Tables 5 and 6 define the meanings of alarm indicators

and error counters. For more detailed descriptions, please refer to the CX29503 Datasheet.

Additionally, there is a check box at the bottom of the group box that enables or disables payload

5.2.4.1 Device Group Box

The Device group box shows configuration statistics for the CX28500. Since the CX28500 has

4096 assignable timeslots, 1024 configurable logical channels, and 32 serial ports, it is difficult

to keep track of them. Hence, these device summary statistics offer an oversight view of total

configured device resources.

5.2.4.3.1 Messages Group Box

The user can choose the message pattern to send by selecting it from the drop-down list box.

The transmit buffer in shared memory for this channel gets filled up with the chosen message

pattern. The “Activate” and “Deactivate” buttons activates and deactivates channel transmission,

respectively.

Note: To activate or deactivate a channel transmission, a pre-defined chipset configuration must

have been chosen and made effective by clicking on the “Start Monitoring” button.

5.2.5 Start Monitoring Button

Once a pre-defined chipset configuration has been selected from the Chipset Configuration group

box, the user can start the monitoring process by clicking the “Start Monitoring” button. Upon

clicking this button, messages with configuration settings are sent to the target (VxWorks) PC to

configure the chipset. When the chipset is successfully configured, the SONET EVM GUI

queries the target PC for status and statistics at one-second intervals.

5.2.6 Console Message Prompt

The Console Message Prompt located at the bottom of the SONET EVM GUI page displays

SONET EVM GUI requests status and other internal messages that are helpful for debugging and

keeping track of progress.
