WSW6025
Host-side software
interface to hardware
The WSW6025 is an efficient, ready to use, host side interface to hardware.
It allows you to control carrier boards from the host as well as to exchange
data between the host and TIMs on these carrier boards.
 Basic component overview
What the WSW6025 can do for you:
 | Shorten development time by providing you with a ready-to-use interface to
the hardware. |
 | Transfer data between the carrier board and the host.
|
 | Download applications to the carrier board.
|
 | Obtain information about the carrier board.
|
 | Control the state of the carrier board. |
 | Give you a basic building block for more complex custom systems.
|
 | Provide you direct access to the hardware registers.
|
 | Support 3L Diamond board services. |
 | Provide you with a C++ type interface to the carrier board. |
The WSW6025 currently supports the following carrier boards.

The WSW6025 interfaces
to hardware
Figure 2 shows the WSW6025 forming the link between your application and the
carrier boards in your system. Having a standard interface such as the
WSW6025 ensures that you may not need to recompile and link your software when
the hardware in the system changes. The WSW6025 also hides the details of the
device driver, allowing you to concentrate on the development process. |
