Get Started with the FRDMPT2001EVM

2.1 Board Features

• PT2001 direct injection predriver integrated circuit
• external MOSFETs
• power-conditioning circuitry
• +12 V to +36 V VSUPP power to the PT2001

2.2 Board Descriptions

The FRDMPT2001EVM consists of two boards:

Two options are provided for the MCU companion:

• FRDM-KL25Z board (default configuration) allows the developer to use NXP’s SPIGen software to directly access the PT2001 on the FRDMPT2001EVM board. This also allows the developer to be quickly familiar with PT2001 without having the need to write any MCU code.
• S32K144EVB-Q100 board, this kit includes the MCU S32K144 an automotive Kinetis processor which offers the high-speed performance required to evaluate PT2001 automotive fuel system designs. NXP’s S32 Design Studio software serves as the platform for developing application-specific MCU code and downloading it to the S32K144EVB-Q100 through the OpenSDA port.

2.3 Board Image

The FRDMPT2001EVM serves as the interface between the PT2001 and the components it controls. The board contains a commercial version of the PT2001 and connectors for up to four fuel injectors, two fuel pumps and a DC/DC converter.

2.4 Additional Board Support

Board block diagram, board description, test points and additional board descriptions and images are available in the User Guide. Refer to FRDMPT2001EVM evaluation board [English].

The FRDM-KL25Z evaluation board was chosen specifically to work with the FRDMPT2001EVM kit because of its low cost and features. The FRDM-KL25Z boardmakes use of the USB, built in LEDs and I/O ports availablewith NXP’s Kinetis KL2x family of microcontrollers.

The FRDMPT2001EVM connects to the FRDM-KL25Z using the four-dual row Arduino^TM R3 connectors on the bottom of the board. The procedure for configuring the FRDMPT2001EVM for use with the FRDM-KL25Z is as follows:

1. Detach the S32K144EVB-Q100 from the FRDMPT2001EVM board.
2. Place connector blocks on the outer rows of all four Arduino connectors on the FRDMKL25Z.
3. Attach the FRDM-KL25Z under FRDMPT2001EVM board such that connector J3 on the FRDMPT2001EVM aligns with connector J9 on the FRDM-KL25Z and connector J2 on the FRDMPT2001EVM aligns with connector J2 on the FRDM-KL25Z.

3.1 Configuration Image

To run the examples included in the software bundle, the following connections and setup must be performed:

1. Make sure SPIGen 7.0 (or higher) is installed on the PC and it can communicate with the Freedom board FRDM-KL25Z. A blue LED, lights on the FRDM-KL25Z when SPIGen is running and the board is properly connected
2. Connect the FRDM-KL25Z to the PC using the USB KL25Z port (left side of SW1). The USB_PWR LED on the FRDMPT2001EVM should be illuminated
3. With the power supply switched off, attach the +12 VDC supply to the VSUPP input connector on the FRDMPT2001EVM. Make sure that the power supply is connected to the correct GND and +12 V terminals on the board. The current capability of the +12 V supply must exceed the maximum total current required by the number of loads that can be simultaneously ON
4. Attach loads (Injectors) to the INJ1, INJ2, INJ3, INJ4, INJ5 and INJ6 output terminals as desired
5. Turn on the +12 V supply. The +5.0 V LED illuminates, indicating that the board is properly connected.

3.2 Connect USB Cable

Connect the Standard-A plug of the USB cable to the host PC. Connect the mini-B plug on the cable to the port labeled USBKL25Z on the FRDM-KL25Z.

3.3 Additional Board Support

Detailed configuration and images are available in the User Guide. Refer to FRDMPT2001EVM evaluation board [English] for additional details.

4.1 Graphical User Interface

Download and run SW for the FRDMPT2001EVM

1. Go to the P&E Microcomputer Systems OpenSDA page at http://www.pemicro.com/opensda and in the OpenSDAFirmware (MSD and Debug) box, click to download the Firmware Apps zip file.
2. When the download completes, unzip the file contents to a folder on the host PC.
3. Connect the Standard A plug of the USB cable to the host PC.
4. On the FRDM-KL25Z, press and hold down the Reset button. With the button held down, attach the mini-B plug of the USB cable to the FRDM-KL25Z USB port labeled SDA. Then release the Reset button. A blinking LED indicates the board is in Bootloader mode.
5. Open Windows Explorer on the host PC. An icon labeled BOOTLOADER appears as a removable drive on the PC.
6. From the files extracted from the PEMicro zip file, locate the driver file named MSDDEBUG-FRDM-KL25Z_Pemicro_v118.SDA. Drag and drop this file onto the BOOTLOADER icon.
7. Unplug the USB mini-B plug then re-insert the plug back into the SDA port. A blinking LED on the board indicates that the FRDM-KL25Z is in bootloader mode.
8. Locate the SPIGEN UsbSpiDongleKL25Zv507.srec image folder in the SPIGEN folder (C:\Program Files (x86) \SPIGen\SPI Dongle Firmware).
9. Copy and paste or drag and drop the. srec file to the FRDM-KL25Z removable drive icon on the host PC.
10. Unplug the USB cable from the FRDM-KL25Z SDA port.

5.1 Configuring SPIGen Software

1. In the Windows Start menu, go to Programs -> SPIGen and click the SPIGen icon. This icon appears on the Windows desktop if the appropriate option is selected during installation.
2. When the SPIGen Graphical User Interface (GUI) appears, go to the file menu in the upper-left corner and select Open. A file selection window opens. In the bottom-right corner of the window, the drop-down box value should be set to SPIGen Files (*.spi). If the configuration file name has a .txt extension, set this value to All Files (*.*).
3. Browse for the SPIGen configuration file downloaded from the tool summary page (see Section 6.1.1 "Installing SPIGen on the host PC"). Select the configuration file and click Open. SPIGen creates a SPI command generator configured specifically for the FRDMPT2001EVM board. The GUI is shown in Figure 6. The text at the top is the name of the configuration file that is loaded. The left side panel displays folders that group user interfaces. The interfaces in the pre-installed PT2001 folder pertain specifically to the board FRDMPT2001EVM. When the configuration file loads, SPIGen is assigned a FRDMPT2001EVM specific list of Extra Pins and Quick Commands.
