◆ AddCustomDevice()

okCFrontPanel::ErrorCode okCFrontPanel::AddCustomDevice ( const okTDeviceMatchInfo &  matchInfo,
const okTDeviceInfo devInfo = NULL 
)
static

Adds a custom device description.

This method can used to indicate that a custom device with the IDs specified in matchInfo should be recognized as a FrontPanel device. Opening the device with these identifiers will succeed after a call to this function.

Please use OK_PRODUCT_OEM_START as offset for the product ID field, all product ID values below it are reserved for internal use.

Notice that it can be called more than once for the devices with different IDs but it is not needed to ever call it again for the same device. Typically, you would call it on the program startup before creating any okCFrontPanel objects.

The devInfo parameter is optional. If specified, some of its fields will override the values that would normally be returned from GetDeviceInfo().

◆ ClearFPGAConfiguration()

okCFrontPanel::ErrorCode okCFrontPanel::ClearFPGAConfiguration ( )
Returns
NoError - Configuration clear completed successfully.
DeviceNotOpen - Communication with a device is not established.
TransferError - USB error has occurred during download.
CommunicationError - Communication error with the firmware.
UnsupportedFeature - Configuration call not supported on this device or in this configuration.

This method clears the current configuration of the FPGA.

◆ Close()

void okCFrontPanel::Close ( )

This method can be used to close the device to release the corresponding device at the system level, e.g. to allow another process to use it, without destroying this object itself but keeping it to be reopened later.

Referenced by OpenBySerial().

TransferError - USB error has occurred during download.
CommunicationError - Communication error with the firmware.
UnsupportedFeature - Configuration call not supported on this device or in this configuration.

This method downloads a configuration file to the FPGA. The filename should be that of a valid Xilinx bitfile (generated from bitgen). The callback is optional and used to track progress. The prototype for a valid callback would look like:

void downloadCallback(int length, int count, void *arg);

◆ EnableAsynchronousTransfers()

void okCFrontPanel::EnableAsynchronousTransfers ( bool  enable)
Parameters
[in]enabletrue to enable async transfers, false to disable them.

Asynchronous queueing of bulk transfer requests is a technique used to increase the throughput of the USB stack. This technique is known to cause problems on some operating systems (notably Windows 2000 with certain USB drivers).

If you experience problems with configuration and/or pipe transfers, try disabling async transfers. There will be a performance penalty.

◆ FindUSBDeviceModel()

unsigned  usbPID 
)
static

Find the board model corresponding to the USB device with the given IDs.

Failed - The operation could not be completed.
DeviceNotOpen - A device is not open.
UnsupportedFeature - Method not supported on this device or configuration.
InvalidParameter - Address specified is invalid for erase operation.

◆ GetSerialNumber()

std::string okCFrontPanel::GetSerialNumber ( )
Returns
A string containing the device serial number. If no device is open, the string will be empty.

This method will retrieve the 10-character serial number stored in the EEPROM. This serial number is unique to each device and can therefore be used to discriminate multiple devices. Each character in the serial number is an upper or lower case character.

Parameters
[in]epAddrThe TriggerOut address to query.

This method allows to retrieve the full vector of values for a particular TriggerOut endpoint. It is usually preferable to use IsTriggered() to test for a single trigger instead.

Returns 0 in case of error, e.g. an invalid trigger endpoint.

◆ IsFrontPanelEnabled()

bool okCFrontPanel::IsFrontPanelEnabled ( )
Returns
True if FrontPanel support is present, false otherwise.

◆ IsHighSpeed()

bool okCFrontPanel::IsHighSpeed ( )
Returns
true if the device is operating at high-speed. false if full-speed.

Queries the device to determine which USB speed it has enumerated at. It will return true if high-speed (480Mbps), false otherwise (full-speed, 12Mbps).

Note: This method only detects the speed on FrontPanel-3 enabled devices. If the device is not running version 3 firmware, this method always returns true. This method always returns true if a device is not currently open.

xem->UpdateTriggerOuts();
// Now, check the trigger on bit 7 of endpoint 0x71
if (true == xem->IsTriggered(0x71, 0x80))

xem->SetPLL22150Configuration(pll);
Container class which holds the appropriate configuration parameters for a Cypress 22150 PLL.

◆ SetFPGAResetProfile()

okCFrontPanel::ErrorCode okCFrontPanel::SetFPGAResetProfile ( okEFPGAConfigurationMethod  method,
const okTFPGAResetProfile profile 
)
Parameters
[in]methodIndicates which reset profile should be set.
[in]profileBoot FPGA Reset Profile
Returns
NoError - Write has completed successfully.
DeviceNotOpen - Communication with a device is not established.
UnsupportedFeature - Method not supported for this device.
InvalidParameter - Invalid configuration method or NULL profile pointer.
Failed - Request failed.

The Boot Reset Profile is the Reset Profile that defines how (and if) the firmware should configure the FPGA on boot and the sequence performed after configuration. If a valid Reset Profile is stored, the firmware will use that profile to boot and setup the FPGA at power-on.

The JTAG Reset Profile is the Reset Profile that defines the configuration sequence that should be followed after the FPGA is configured via JTAG. If a valid Reset Profile is stored, the firmware will method that profile to setup the FPGA if it detects completion of a JTAG-based configuration completion.

Example:

okTFPGAResetProfile resetProfile;
memset(&p, 0, sizeof(okTFPGAResetProfile));
resetProfile.u32DoneWaitUS = 1000; // Wait 1ms after DONE before Wire/Register setup
resetProfile.u32WireInValues[0] = 0x000000f0;
resetProfile.u32WireInValues[1] = 0x000000a0;
resetProfile.u32NumRegisterEntries = 1;
resetProfile.regEntries[0].u32Address = 0x1234;
resetProfile.regEntries[0].u32Data = 0xAAAAAAAA;
resetProfile.u32RegisterWaitUS = 10000; // Wait 1ms after Wire/Register setup
resetProfile.u32ResetWaitUS = 10000; // Wait 1ms after RESET deasserts
resetProfile.u32NumTriggerEntries = 2;
resetProfile.trigEntries[0].u32Trigger = 0x40;
resetProfile.trigEntries[0].u32Mask = 0x00000002;
resetProfile.trigEntries[1].u32Trigger = 0x40;
resetProfile.trigEntries[1].u32Mask = 0x00000002;
resetProfile.u32Location = 16; // Bitfile stored at first user sector
resetProfile.u32Length = 689900; // Bitfile size
dev->SetFPGAResetProfile(ok_FPGAConfigurationMethod_NVRAM, &resetProfile);

An empty Reset Profile (with u32Length=0) specifies that an FPGA configuration is not to be loaded on boot. For example:

// Set an empty Reset Profile (u32Length=0) to prevent an FPGA configuration
// from being loaded at power-up.
memset(&p, 0, sizeof(okTFPGAResetProfile));
dev->SetFPGAResetProfile(ok_FPGAConfigurationMethod_NVRAM, &p));

Note: This method is only available in the C/C++ DLL.
