AXIOMATIC AX141550 Gigabit Automotive Ethernet Gigabit Ethernet Converter User Manual

AXIOMATIC AX141550 Gigabit Automotive Ethernet Gigabit Ethernet Converter

GENERAL INFORMATION

Introduction

The Ethernet to Automotive Ethernet Gigabit Converter, AX141550, has both Ethernet and Automotive Ethernet Physical Layer transceivers (1000BASE-T and 1000BASE-T1 PHYs) that are used to achieve bidirectional communication. The converter supports configuration via RS232 to update the speed (100/1000Mbps) as well as to set the Automotive Ethernet PHY to Master/Slave mode. The AX141550 does not store any packets and does not modify or filter any packets.
By default, both PHYs (Ethernet and the Automotive Ethernet) communicate at a speed of 1000Mbps, and the Automotive Ethernet is configured to work in Slave mode. Status LEDs provide information on Power, Connection Links, and Activity.

The power LED will be ON as soon as power is supplied to the converter. The Power LED is used to verify whether power is supplied to the converter. If the proper power supply level is connected to the converter, the Power LED will be ON; indicating the converter is ON. The AX141550 is continuously monitoring the status of Link and Activity by reading the registers of Ethernet PHYs and will show the real-time update of Ethernet and Automotive Ethernet Link and Activity on Link and Activity LEDs, respectively. The screenshots of Tera Term in this user manual are intended for reference purposes only.

CONFIGURATION USING RS-232
RS-232 configuration is password-protected and can be accessed through Tera Term or other serial terminals. Tera Term Serial Port setup is shown below. The default configuration menu includes Project details like Project Name, Version number, Release Date, Part Number, and Serial Number. The menu has 8 options as attached in the picture below. To view or change the configuration, please enter the password: “AX141550”.

To view or change the configuration, please enter the password: “AX141550”.

Show Configuration Parameter

****Press ‘1’ to see the Configuration parameters. This option will show the Serial Number, Converter Mode, Converter Speed, and Log Timing. If the converter Mode is “Master”, it shows that Automotive Ethernet PHY is configured to work as Master. If the converter Mode is “Slave”, it shows that Automotive Ethernet PHY is configured to work as Slave. Speed shows the speed of both PHYs. Log Timing is used to see the Power and (Ethernet and Automotive Ethernet) Link logs over RS-232. Logs are used for debugging and testing purposes. Log Timing does not affect the Converter’s working and Master-Slave or Speed configuration of PHYs.

Change Configuration Parameters
Press ‘2’ to change the configuration parameters. This option gives the choice to change the Serial Number, Mode, Speed, and Log Timing. Enter the name of the parameter that needs to be changed other than the Serial Number. The option to change the Serial Number is not available for field updates. Enter the name from the list given on the Tera term window. i.e., “Mode”, “Speed”, or “LogTiming”. Any string entered other than given on the Tera Term window will be discarded by the Converter, as the string is case-sensitive. i.e., to change Speed, typing “speed” will have no effect as the converter is expecting for the string “Speed”. Changing the Speed will change the Speed of both Ethernet and Automotive Ethernet PHYs.

Type “Mode” to change the mode. Press ‘1’ to configure the Automotive Ethernet PHY in Slave mode or ‘2’ for Master mode. Changing the Mode will change the Mode of Automotive Ethernet PHY only, as normal Ethernet PHY has Auto- negotiation enabled to negotiate the Mode. Log Timing could be configured to have a value between 1 Second to 10 Seconds. The Master/Slave and Speed settings will be saved. So, after reset or power cycle, the converter will have the last configured Speed, Mode, and Log Timing. Enter the name of the parameter: “Enter string Mode to change Mode”. To change the Speed or Log Timing Follow the same method. As shown in the picture below.

Set Default Configuration Parameters

Press ‘3’ to set the default configuration parameters. This option will set the Mode and Speed to Slave and 1000Mbps respectively, as the default mode is Slave mode and the default speed is 1000 Mbps. The log timing will be also changed to the default value, which is 1 Second. The configuration settings will be saved. So, after reset or power cycle, the converter will have the last configured Speed, Mode, and Log Timing.

Erase EEPROM
Press ‘9’ to Erase EEPROM. Erasing the EEPROM will erase the Firmware Flags and Firmware Configurations (Mode/Slave and Log Timing) stored in EEPROM. So, in the next power cycle, the firmware will store default Configuration parameters and Firmware Flags. This is useful while doing the Firmware Version update, to erase the old version number stored in EEPROM and save the new version number.

Temperature of Ethernet PHYs
Press ‘c’.to read the internal temperature of both the PHYs in Celsius.

Start/Stop Logs
Press ‘s’ to start or stop the debug logs. Starting the debug logs will print the supplied voltage to the Unit and Ethernet and Automotive Ethernet Link status on Tera Term, as per the Log Timing configuration. i.e., If the Log Timing is 1 Second, the converter will print the debug logs every second. Pressing ‘s’ again will stop the logs.

Reboot the Controller
Press ‘r’ to reboot the converter. This will simply restart the converter. Rebooting the converter will not change the Mode or Speed of the converter. This option is useful to restart the converter through Tera Term.

Activate bootloader
Press ‘b’ to activate the bootloader. To activate the bootloader please enter the password: “StartBL”. As shown in the picture below, it will Reboot the convert and the Bootloader will be started. The bootloader ID will be printed, and the bootloader will be activated. Bootloader Menu will give options to load a new Firmware file, to read the current Firmware file, or to reboot the convert to close the bootloader and start the Firmware again.

Load New Application Firmware
Press ‘1’ to upload new Firmware. The firmware will be erased. Type ‘Yes’ only if a valid firmware file is received from Axiomatic Technologies to reflash. Bootloader flags will be erased. Which shows that the firmware is erased. Ready to flash new firmware? Yes/No: “Enter Yes or No and press enter.” Use Menu: File->Send File… with XON/XOFF control. Select the Firmware File (AF-22018-xx.yy.af) and select the “Binary File” options, where xx.yy represents the major and minor versions of the firmware, respectively.
