2. Reason for the TSB
The respons920 has a Central Processing Unit (CPU) consisting of a SPARTAN-3E Field Programmable
Gate Array (FPGA).
This TSB provides steps for programming the CPU.
3. Pre-Requisites
•
•
•
Analyzer PC with Windows XP operating system installed (administrator rights are necessary) and
a free USB port.
Installed iMPACT flash burn utility from XILINX.
Platform Cable USB II plus Flying Wires Adapter from Silicon Laboratories.
•
USB cable to connect the Platform Cable with the PC.

4. Procedure
a) Switch off the analyzer at right hand side.
Open the electronic compartment at the rear
right hand side.
Take off the metal shielding of the Interface PCB
at the inner side of the door.
Set the jumper JP2 on the CPU PCB to the upper
position (programming mode) as shown in the
picture.
b) Connect the USB Debug Adapter to connector J2
on the CPU PCB as shown in the picture.
The color sequence must be (from left to right):
Red
Black
Yellow
White
Purple
Green
The gray wire must not be connected.
c)
d)
e)
Switch on Analyzer PC and log on as “AddInst”, Password “DiaUser”
Connect the USB Debug Adapter by the USB cable to the Analyzer PC.
Install drivers (if demanded; up to three times) as follows:

Switch off the analyzer at right hand side.
Disconnect the USB Debug Adapter from connector J2.
Set the jumper JP2 on the CPU PCB to the lower position (initialization mode).
Install the metal shielding of the Interface PCB at the inner side of the door. (Mind the
grounding wire to be connected.)
Close the electronic compartment.
Switch on the analyzer at right hand side. The analyzer is initializing.
Please check, that the right Analyzer, Micro Blaze and FPGA software version is displayed in
MLrespons920 / Service Check / Communication / Misc Commands / Software Version
corresponding to the “Version.txt” file on your Installation CD \MLrespons920
vxxxx.xx.xx\ESW\R920.
