Development Board

Features on the PICDEM.net 2 Development Board include:

1. MICROCONTROLLER: A Microchip PIC18F97J60 microcontroller with built-in

Ethernet controller and transceiver is directly installed on the board (U3). The device is clocked at 25 MHz and has been preprogrammed with the Demo Application firmware using the Microchip TCP/IP Stack. Jumpers, JP15 and JP3, can be used to measure the current consumption of the microcontroller.

2. ETHERNET CONTROLLER: In addition to the PIC18F97J60, the PICDEM.net 2

Development Board also features a Microchip ENC28J60 stand-alone Ethernet controller. This device provides Ethernet connectivity for microcontroller-based applications using a standard SPI interface.

3. MEMORY: A Microchip 25LC256 serial EEPROM (U4) provides 256 Kbits

(32 Kbytes) of storage for both web pages and nonvolatile configuration options. The 25LC256 is programmable via an SPI interface.

4. LCD DISPLAY: A two-line by 16-character dot matrix display shows diagnostic

and error messages with the factory programmed firmware. It may be used for other applications with appropriate reprogramming.

Introduction to the PICDEM.net 2 Development Board

5. OPTIONAL EXTERNAL LCD CONNECTOR: Space is provided on the board for

the installation of a 30-pin, bottom contact FFC edge connector (Hirose FH12-30S-0.5SH or equivalent). This will allow the use of an external LCD character display module (such as one of the Optrex™ F-51320 series) to the board via a ribbon cable. Note that using an external LCD module will require appropriate changes to the application code, as well as the use of a ribbon cable compatible with the connector.

6. TEMPERATURE SENSOR: This analog temperature sensor, a Microchip

TC1047 (U1), is connected to an analog I/O pin of the microcontroller. It can be disconnected by jumper.

7. USER-DEFINED LEDs: Eight LEDs are driven by digital I/O pins of the controller

(PORTJ) and may be used to simulate a digital output to an embedded device. They may also be enabled or disabled by jumper selection on the board.

8. USER-DEFINED PUSH BUTTONS: These switches are connected to digital I/O

pins on the microcontroller (PORTB<3:0>) and may be used to simulate a digital input in an embedded application.

9. USER-DEFINED POTENTIOMETER: One 10 kOhm potentiometer is connected

to an analog I/O pin of the microcontroller. It can be used to simulate an analog input in an embedded application.

10. RESET PUSH BUTTON: This switch is tied to the MCLR

and is used to reset the board.

11. RJ-45 (10Base-T) MODULAR CONNECTORS: The PICDEM.net 2

Development Board is outfitted with two Integrated Connector Modules (ICMs), one each for the PIC18F97J60 and ENC28J60. These ICMs provide the modular jack, as well as the necessary transformers, EMI suppression and status LEDs, for Ethernet connectivity.

Each ICM has its own ACTIVITY and LINK LEDs on the left and right sides of the ICM, respectively (as viewed from the top). These show if an Ethernet application is transmitting or receiving a packet, and if the Ethernet connection is active. The LEDs for the PIC18F97J60 (on J1) can be disconnected by jumpers if the I/O ports, RA0 and RA1, are to be used for another purpose.

12. RJ-11 (Six-Wire) MODULAR CONNECTOR: This allows the Development

Board to be connected to Microchip MPLAB ICD 2 systems for in-system programming, as well as advanced application debugging.

13. SERIAL PORT: The PICDEM.net 2 Development Board includes an RS-232 port

with a DB9 connector (P1) and appropriate level-shifting hardware (U5). This allows for the configuration of the board’s IP and Ethernet address through a standard serial connection. This interface also allows users to download new web pages to the EEPROM.

14. I/O AND PICtail™ DAUGHTER BOARD ACCESS: A pair of female risers (J5

and J6) allow direct access to five of the microcontroller’s I/O ports (PORTA through PORTE). The even pins of J5 also serve as a standard interface between the PICDEM.net 2 Development Board and any of Microchip’s PICtail daughter board series.

15. PROTOTYPE AREA: A 9x20 grid with through-holes is provided for users to

breadboard additional circuitry for development. Three SOT-23 pads and a SOIC-28 footprint are also provided for surface mounting common components. Connections are provided for +3.3 V

DC, +5 VDC, +9 VDC and ground.

16. ON-BOARD POWER: Two on-board regulators provide separate 5 V

3.3 V

DC at 500 mA common current, from the 9 VDC supplied at J7.

PICDEM.net™ 2 Development Board User’s Guide

18. ETHERNET ID STICKERS (TRACE SIDE): The numbers on the two stickers

are used to form the unique Media Access Control (MAC) addresses used by the Ethernet transceivers to identify and filter packets. The number is the base 10 version of the last 6 hexadecimal digits of the 12-digit MAC address. For example, the sticker number, “12345”, represents 003039h in the MAC address. One of these is assigned to the PIC18F97J60 and the other to the ENC28J60. These MAC addresses are provided for evaluation purposes; both addresses can be changed in software.

1.5 THE DEVELOPMENT KIT CD

The “PICDEM.net 2 Development Kit” CD contains:

• The complete source code for the free Microchip TCP/IP Stack Demo Application.

Chapter 2. Getting Started with the PICDEM.net 2

Development Board

2.1 HIGHLIGHTS

This chapter will cover the following topics:

• Network Precautions: Before You Start

• Using PICDEM.net 2 Development Board with a Local Host System

• Connecting the PICDEM.net 2 Development Board

• Configuring the PICDEM.net 2 Development Board

• Establishing Communications

2.2 NETWORK PRECAUTIONS: BEFORE YOU START

The PICDEM.net 2 Development Board provided in your kit is designed to demonstrate the possibilities of networking with embedded Microchip controllers over Ethernet and the Internet. As with any experimental system, however, some precautions are in order before you start.

Whenever new hardware or software is added to a network, it is always advisable to create a separate test network that is isolated from your LAN. This allows testing the new system in a controlled environment and minimizes the possibilities of network interference from the new equipment. The major sources of potential interference include:

• Addressing – Each device on the network must have a unique address. If

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is in use, the PICDEM.net 2 Development Board will automatically acquire a valid IP address. If DHCP is not used, or a fixed address is required, adding the board to the network without assigning an address may create network conflicts.

• Traffic Levels – While the on-board Ethernet controller will filter out unwanted

messages, a highly loaded network with many broadcast messages may place a sizable burden on the Development Board.

• Data Security – Although it is unlikely that the addition of a single device will

compromise the integrity or privacy of sensitive information, it is always a good idea to perform extensive testing with new equipment before adding it to a secure network.

• Experimentation – Even as a simple microcontroller-based device, the

Development Board is capable of generating a high volume of network traffic which may severely disrupt normal network operations.
