At a minimum you will need a mote and way to get your software onto it. This guide assumes that you are using a

SmartMesh IP Starter Kit

. The

On-Chip Software Development Kit

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 

On-Chip Software Development Kit

 application, we recommend you use a 

SmartMesh IP Starter Kit

. The 

SmartMesh IP Starter Kit

 allows you to build a working mesh network and develop applications on the SmartMesh IP mote.

A 

SmartMesh IP Starter Kit

 is composed of:

• 1 SmartMesh IP manager (several boards exist, see below)
• 5 SmatMesh IP motes (several boards exist, see below)
• 1 additional 

  DC9006

   USB interface boards to interface a SmartMesh IP mote to your computer.

Several 

SmartMesh IP Starter Kit

s are available:

SmartMesh IP Eval/Dev Motes

In addition, the following Eval/Dev boards (not included in any

SmartMesh IP Starter Kit

) are available:

SmartMesh IP Modules

The following modules are available, as is the QFN chip:

SmartMesh IP Chip

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 

DC9006

.

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

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.

Next Step: Run the code (finally!)
