FreeDSP OCTAVIA

Hello Maurizio-San,
One question about the Octavia. May i use 12v power supply?
If you are using a board version before 1.0, it must not. This is beacuse the U7 and U3 thermal dispassion is not enough. It will work for a short while but the device will break sooner or later.
A version after 1.0 seems OK as of now. (But not sure)

One more question. Is it mandatory to install the AUX 0-5 potentiometers? May i leave the pcb without and adjust the levels via sigma studio?

Do anyhow need to short pin 2 and 3 on the pcb if i do that?
You don't need to short pots. You can leave it blank as it is. Just replace the DC value source instead of the AUXADC 0-5 in SigmaStudio.

Maurizio-San,

Here's a selectable example idea of SigmaStudio. The pot at 12 o'clock equals 0.5 DC value.

Hello Maurizio-San,

Your test project is completely free from AUX ADC. So, you can leave the pot(s) as non-populated.

My suggestion for value-controlled blocks, that usage is as follows ...

1. Select the Nx1 selector equals AUX_ADCx
2. Adjust the pot as you like
3. Read the Level indicator's index value
4. Give the same value to DC2 block
5. Select the Nx1 selector equals DC2 block

After this operation, you don't need the pot anymore.

HI Pit.

Thanks for all you support.

I've an issue with the EProm.

I followed the instruction about how to write on the Eprom..seems that the compiled code was downloaded..but as i reset the unit is not loading. To let it work i need to connect to sigma studio.

Any adivise on it? Soemthing i need to check?

Many thank in advance.

Maurizio
 
Thanks Pit-San.

Thanks a lot. I checked with this configuration and it works.

But..just if i use the ADAU1452 as processor.

If i do the same based on the 1466...everything will work with sigma connected...but won't work on the Eprom.

Do i need to configure the use a different address for the Eprom if i choose the 1466? IS the HW configuration different?

One suggestion about the JP1 connector. Because is very helpful if you are in trouble with Eprom operations..in case of new improvements, i will replace it with a THT in line pin headers.

Would be quite easy then to short the contact using a jumper.

What do you think about?
 
Hi Maurizio,

I tried to convert from SVG to DXF. But the scale is not correct.
Please re-Scale when you importing this data.

PS. .STEP 3D file was possible to export. (But too big to attach)

Hi,

for the users of York with Octavia: there is a known issue with USBi/other programmers when programming/erasing EEPROM thru DSP:

It rarely works, there are many discussions about this issue in other threads.
Today I spend some time trying to debug what goes wrong and found possible reason. I uploaded new communication dll for SigmaStudio which has the fix. If anyone has experienced such issue and wants to try - please get new dll (it is in the config tool package) from the website.
