Installation
To use the memory card interface you will need:
• VM-1 Control Module 5800 or 5801
• Suitable application board such as 5805 breakout board or 5811 module board
• Ribbon cable and 20 pin header (see Connection Kit above)
• Other components as required for use of application board (power supply, serial cables etc.)
Connection
You can attach an external front panel LED to the position marked D2. This duplicates the function of the onboard LED.
Solder the pin header strip to pins 19-38 of JP4 on the application board There should be marker pips printed on the board by pins 19-20 and 37-38 which help to locate the header correctly. See Illustration.
Connect the ribbon cable from this header to the box header on the memory card interface, making sure pin 1 in the memory card interface goes to pin 19 on application board JP4.
Optionally mount the card to your hardware using the mounting holes provided.
If you are already using asynchronous serial port 2, you must use the SPI connection for the memory card.
If you do not need asynchronous serial port 2 in your application, you can use its data lines as a higher speed connection for the memory card. To do this on a 5811 application board you must remove the serial interface IC U4 from its socket on the application board.
Follow the configuration instructions below for your chosen connection method.
How to position the pin header on the breakout board connector JP4
Jumper Configuration
• To use the SPI connection, set all fourjumpers to the position marked SPI on the board
• To use the higher speed serial port 2 connection, set all fourjumpers to the position marked SER2, and remove IC U4 from application board ifyou are using the 5811 application board.
Software Configuration
SPI connection:
MAKE fs FileSystem("MMC", 0, 0) SER2 connection:
MAKE fs FileSystem("MMC", 1, 0)
Note that the string "mmc" is equally valid for SD cards: both are operated in SPI mode.
See the Venom-SC help file or PDF documentation for details on use of the file system.
The third parameter can be omitted and defaults to 0. It can be used to select a partition, though it is rare for a memory card to have more than 1 partition on it.
