At a minimum you will need a mote and way to get your software onto it. This guide assumes that you are using a . The supports all LTC5800 based products, so you can develop and run your application on any of the SmartMesh IP products (LTC5800 chip, LTP59xx motes, and demo boards) listed on this page.

SmartMesh IP Starter Kits

During development of your application, we recommend you use a . The allows you to build a working mesh network and develop applications on the SmartMesh IP mote.

A is composed of:

1 SmartMesh IP manager (several boards exist, see below)
5 SmatMesh IP motes (several boards exist, see below)
1 additional USB interface boards to interface a SmartMesh IP mote to your computer.

Each of the boards included in a are also sold separately.

Debug Probe (Optional)

The firmware you have compiled can be loaded onto the target device without requiring additional hardware, refer to the Programming Eterna Devices page for instructions.

However, you can optionally purchase a "debug probe" to do in-circuit debugging (breakpoints, variable inspection, etc.) using JTAG/SWD. You can use any JTAG/SWD debug probe for ARM-Cortex M3 supported by IAR. Use the 20-pin JTAG connector on the .

The pictures below illustrate the use of two popular debug probes:

j-link debug probe	i-jet debug probe

Programming Adapter

The DC9004A Programming Adapter enables the DC9006A Interface card to connect to the recommended programming header (2x5 2mm pitch header) on a customer board to program an Eterna chip or PCB module or to communicate via CLI.
