Package Contents

The development kit is delivered with a set of accessories required to put the system together and get it up and running in no time.

This is what you’ll find in the development kit box:

• 1x AD-EthernetAPLDevice-SL intrinsic safety certify kit (Power and Comms + Digital IS boards)

• 1x Digital NON-IS board. This board is not IS certify and enables access to the RISC-V JTAG for debugging purposes (Digital NON-IS board)

• 1x MAX32650PICO programmer (ARM) + cable

• 1x OLIMEX programmer (RISC-V)

• 1x OLIMEX adapter + cable

Application Development

Figure 3 Software Architecture

The AD-ETHERNETAPLDEVICE-SL firmware examples are based on ADI’s open-source no-OS framework. It includes the bare-metal device drivers for all the components in the system as well as example applications enabling connectivity via the 10BASE-T1L interface for system configuration and data transfer.

AD-ETHERNETAPLDEVICE-SL Firmware Source Code and User Guide

Additionally, a proprietary PROFINET stack software application is available to enable easy evaluation and system prototyping (myanalog.com registration required).

The board is fully supported in Code Fusion Studio {{ soon to be available }}

Hardware Setup

Required Hardware

• Development kit: AD-EthernetAPLDevice-SL

• Debugging board: If RISC-V co-processor needs to be debugged, replace the IS digital board with the NON-IS Digital board

• Power supply: Single-Pair Power over Ethernet (SPoE) via DEMO-ADIN1100D2Z supplied from external power connector (from 9V to 15V), or a Ethernet-APL field switch

• ARM programmer: MAX32625PICO or any SWD-compatible programmer

• RISC-V programmer: Olimex ARM-USB-OCD

• Media converter: 10BASE-T1L to 10BASE-T or similar. DEMO-ADIN1100D2Z includes a media converter and can be used for both power and data, or a Ethernet-APL field switch

Setup Instructions

1. Connect the AD-EthernetAPLDevice-SL to the DEMO-ADIN1100D2Z and ensure all connectors are fully seated.

2. Connect a 2- or 4-wire PT100 sensor to the temperature connector.

3. Attach the MAX32625PICO programmer to the ARM debug header using the 10-pin ribbon cable.

4. For RISC‑V debugging, install the NON‑IS digital board and connect the RISC‑V debug probe to the RISC‑V JTAG header (available only on the NON‑IS board).

5. Connect the DEMO-ADIN1100D2Z to your PC via Ethernet.

6. Apply power to the DEMO-ADIN1100D2Z (9V to 15V input). The AD-EthernetAPLDevice-SL will be powered via SPoE.
