Kit Overview

The RM48 Hercules Development KitRM48 Hercules Development Kit is ideal for getting started on development with the Hercules platform of safety microcontrollers. The development board features RJ45 10/100 Ethernet, USB-A Host, and USB-B Device Interfaces along with an on board XDS100v2 JTAG emulator and access to all peripheral pins. The kit is comprised of a development board, a DC power supply, a mini-B USB cable, an Ethernet cable and a software installation DVD that includes Code Composer Studio IDE, HALCoGen, nowFlash, HET IDE, demo software and code examples.

The RM48Lx50 is a high performance microcontroller family for safety systems. The safety architecture includes Dual CPUs in lockstep, CPU and Memory Built-In Self Test (BIST) logic, ECC on both the Flash and the data SRAM, parity on peripheral memories, and loop back capability on peripheral IOs.

The RM48Lx50 integrates the ARM® Cortex™-R4F Floating Point CPU which offers an efficient 1.6 DMIPS/MHz, and has configurations which can run up to 200MHz providing up to 320 DMIPS. The device supports the little-endian [LE32] format.

The RM48Lx50 has up to 3MB integrated Flash and up to 256KB data RAM configurations with single bit error correction and double bit error detection. The flash memory on this device is a nonvolatile, electrically erasable and programmable memory implemented with a 64-bit-wide data bus interface. The flash operates on a 3.3V supply input (same level as I/O supply) for all read, program and erase operations. When in pipeline mode, the flash operates with a system clock frequency of up to 200MHz. The SRAM supports single-cycle read/write accesses in byte, halfword, and word modes.

Key Applications: Industrial Safety Applications (Industrial Automation, Safe PLC’s (Programmable Logic Controllers), Power Generation and Distribution, Turbines and Windmills, Elevators and Escalators), Medical Applications (Ventilators, Defibrillators, Infusion and Insulin pumps, Radiation therapy, Robotic surgery)
