Hi,

Somehow I can't manage to upload our custom image.
The network just doesn’t gets "up" when I give the command "DE" in the bootloader.
I have Eshell running with the right device name, right image selected...
(If I don't go into the bootloader, en let WIndows CE start up normally, the network does get "up" so electronically it should be just fine).

It would be great If someone can help me out asap, I'm in a real tight schedule.
Many thanks in advance!

Yes the above works, we work with mode 0 now, and these settings do change contrast (Veek).

Now we need to figure out the question below.

Quote from ThomasHummelink

Changing the settings "LCDPortDriveStrength" didn’t help much with the EMC problems at all. We could barely see only minor changes in the radiated emission.
We have done a radiated emission test for the combination of NetDCUA5-V1-WCE and Innolux G057VGE-T01 (Display). We exceed the maximum emission (with and without the display connected), having problems mainly at 175MHz. Harmonics are at (odd) frequencies 25, 75, 125, 175 and 225Mhz. All probably caused by the J3, Pin 19 CLK. Do you have any design guidelines or tips&tricks in this matter

Thanks in advance!

Your help is much appreciated!

Thanks for the support so far!

Reply on the question why setting to mode 0 didn't help:
I tried that to get visibility again, but it didin't restore Veek.
Now we now how to get visibility without having to reset the entrire A5

Setting the display mode to mode 0 doesn't help.
I found out that it has something to do with the VEEK signal. We use this for the backlight adjust.

Default it is 3Volt, (after a register erase and also during startup)
As soon the display mode is set otherwis, it gets dark

How can I change this?

Thanks in advance!

How do I get the display settings working as it should be?
I want to use Innolux.reg config file while that is the display type I'm using.

reg open \drivers\display\LCD
reg create key mode100
reg set value name string "InnoLux G057VGE"
reg set value EFW dword 7
reg set value BFW dword 35
reg set value msignal dword 2
reg set value rows dword 480
reg set value LPP dword 480
reg set value width dword 115
reg set value height dword 86
reg set value contrastenable dword 0
reg set value contrastvalue dword 0
reg set value type dword 6
reg set value config dword 0x00300000
reg set value columns dword 640
reg set value PPL dword 640
reg set value HSW dword 30
reg set value bpp dword 16
reg set value lcdclk dword 25
reg set value VSW dword 3
reg set value BLW dword 114
reg set value ELW dword 16
reg set value EnableCursor dword 0
display mode set 100
reg save

As soon I've run that ndcucfg script after a reboot I have no visibility.

Default (after a register erase) I have visibility, but have no idea what settings are used. And no idea where I can change settings.
Display mode get gives: ERROR 207: cant retrieve display mode.

We have some EMC difficulties which we think might be solved by changing "LCDPortDriveStrength".
Which can be adjusted according your device driver manual: HKLM\Drivers\Display\LCD\ModeXXX\LCDPortDriveStrength=DWORD:<val>
But then I need to use the correct Mode,

Your urgent reply is much appreciated!

Kind regards,
Thomas

Are there any guidlines on how to implement a USB-hub, We might need to have a third USB port.
Is there a recommended, already proven method we can easily implement in our current pcb?

Thanks in advance!

As an experiment, I removed TVS12,13, 14 and 15 first. They are: LITTELFUSE - V26MLA1206H - VARISTOR, 1206, 26VAC
Now the USB memory stick works!

Do you advise to use the PGB1SOT23 as used on F&S NDCU-SINTF-14 board?

The varistor we have used have a capacity of 600pF @ 1MHz
I saw that the PGB1SOT23 has a capacity of only 0.136 pF @ 1MHz

Hi, can you please give me a schematic of the USB routing guidlines?

Kind regards,
Thomas

On my NetdcuA5, fs_usbfn.dll is located in the windows directory, so I left the register setting for the location as it was (01 "DLL"=string:fs_usbfn.dll ).

OK -> reg enum key \

I saw that Flags is set for 4, which I thought disabled this driver. So I also tried it with Flags set to 0. both had no positive effect.

Hello,

I have a USB bar code scanner, keyboard etc. working on both USB connections via our backplane PCB, which is designed for the NetDCU8.
So far so good.

What I cant get working is a memory USB stick. With the NetDCU8 it has always worked perfect. When I connect a USB memory stick, a new hard dis apears on a NetDCU8, but with the NetDCUA5 nothing happens.
When I test a USB memory stick with the F&S interface board (SINTS-14) with a NetDCUA5 plugged into it, a hard drive appears.

Any idea what might be wrong? R29 and R30 are not placed!

Hi,

We want to configure both USB connections (J7, pin 21-22 & 23-24) as USB host.
Can you please let me know where to change the settings?

Kind Regards,
Thomas

Thanks, that worked just fine!!

We used the documentation but had no good results.
Please help us to get it working.

We have connected our I2C device to
SCL: J5Pin13 register setting 8
SDA: J5Pin15 register setting 9

We think we should use I2c1

05 "Prefix"=string:I2C \
06 "FriendlyName"=string:I2C driver for NetDCU \
07 "Dll"=string:fs_i2c.dll \

We have disabled the native I2C2
\:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\drivers\builtin\netdcua5\i2c2
00 "Prefix"=string:I2C \
01 "Dll"=string:fs_ni2c.dll \
02 "Order"=dword:24 \

06 "IntPullUp"=dword:0 \
07 "ClockFreq"=dword:200000 \
08 "RepeatedStarts"=dword:1 \
09 "Flags"=dword:4 \

I2C3 is in use for touch screen, which works just fine.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\drivers\builtin\i2c3
00 "Prefix"=string:I2C \
01 "Dll"=string:fs_ni2c.dll \

05 "FriendlyName"=string:Native I2C driver display con. \
06 "RepeatedStarts"=dword:1 \
07 "IntPullUp"=dword:1 \
08 "ClockFreq"=dword:400000 \

When I use FS_I2CSCAN.exe to scan the I2C1 bus, No devices are found and the serial dubug gives me:
I2C: [2125416] 0xd4683260: Device closed
I2C: [2125425] 0xd4683260: Device opened

Hi again,

I received all parts so could finally hook everything up. Without any register setting I have viability.
I want to know how it is configured by default so I can get the settings back if I mess anything up.

In Ndcufg: display mode get
gives ERROR 207: cant retrieve display mode.

For a different register setting which I wanted to undo I tried to reset to default by entering the bootloader (via Com pres S.. ) and then R for register erase. this didn't do much, is there a different way? I would love to know how to get every thing back to factory defaults. this just worked
Regards.

Hi,

We have used a pressure sensor on the Netdcu8 J5 (pin 13 SCL, pin 15 SDA) for years and now we need to get it working on the A5 (CE6.0).
We visited you in March this year and had it working on a A5 board from you. unfortunately we couldn't take that board with us and we can't remember or find notes how to set the register.

Please help

Kind regards,
Thomas

One more question,

I first thought that we could use J3 pin 18 VEEK (BL dimming voltage 0....3.3V) to dim the backlight. I got a bit confused by the display datasheet, which says: "
Pin 5
Symbol: ADJ
Description Backlight adjust,
Remark: PWM Dimming

If I'm right the display backlight unit needs a PWM signal for the "Backlight adjust" What is the correct way to do this? Do we need to use J4- pin 15 PWM output? or did I misinterpreted the datasheet and can we use VEEK on J3? I assume the adjusting the backlight is supported and controlled by Windows CE, register settings.

Your advice is highly appreciated!
Kind regards!
Thomas

Thanks! As soon we have the hardware ready we will let you know if it works.

Hello,

I couldn't find the display settings for the display: InnoLux G57VGE-T01
Can you please give me the register settings?

Thanks in advanced!!
