6. ToolStick LIN Daughter Card Firmware Examples
The ToolStick kit includes a few simple code examples for the LIN Daughter Card, including a simple timer example
and a LIN snooper example. The timer example is stand-alone firmware that uses an on-chip Timer to measure
how long the firmware is running and reports this time to the PC using ToolStick Terminal. The second example is a
LIN snooper application. With the LIN snooper firmware, the LIN Daughter Card will capture the messages from an
arbitrary LIN network and output the raw data to the PC using ToolStick Terminal.
The purpose of the rest of this chapter purpose is to guide a new user through the features and capabilities of the
IDE and demonstrate the microcontroller’s on-chip debug capabilities using the timer example. The first part of this
demo shows how to use the IDE to connect and download the firmware, view and modify registers, use watch
windows, use breakpoints, and single step through code. The second part of the demo shows how to use ToolStick
Terminal to receive UART data from the daughter card.
6.1. Hardware Setup
Connect the ToolStick hardware to the PC using the steps below while taking note of the recommendations in
Section 1:
1. Connect the ToolStick Base Adapter to the ToolStick LIN Daughter Card.
2. If available, connect the USB extension cable to the ToolStick Base Adapter.
3. Connect the ToolStick to a USB port on a PC.
See Figure 4 below for an example hardware setup.
