spi_butterfly - parport-to-butterfly adapter driver
|
||
|
===================================================
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is a hardware and software project that includes building and using
|
||
|
a parallel port adapter cable, together with an "AVR Butterfly" to run
|
||
|
firmware for user interfacing and/or sensors. A Butterfly is a $US20
|
||
|
battery powered card with an AVR microcontroller and lots of goodies:
|
||
|
sensors, LCD, flash, toggle stick, and more. You can use AVR-GCC to
|
||
|
develop firmware for this, and flash it using this adapter cable.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can make this adapter from an old printer cable and solder things
|
||
|
directly to the Butterfly. Or (if you have the parts and skills) you
|
||
|
can come up with something fancier, providing ciruit protection to the
|
||
|
Butterfly and the printer port, or with a better power supply than two
|
||
|
signal pins from the printer port.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
The first cable connections will hook Linux up to one SPI bus, with the
|
||
|
AVR and a DataFlash chip; and to the AVR reset line. This is all you
|
||
|
need to reflash the firmware, and the pins are the standard Atmel "ISP"
|
||
|
connector pins (used also on non-Butterfly AVR boards).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Signal Butterfly Parport (DB-25)
|
||
|
------ --------- ---------------
|
||
|
SCK = J403.PB1/SCK = pin 2/D0
|
||
|
RESET = J403.nRST = pin 3/D1
|
||
|
VCC = J403.VCC_EXT = pin 8/D6
|
||
|
MOSI = J403.PB2/MOSI = pin 9/D7
|
||
|
MISO = J403.PB3/MISO = pin 11/S7,nBUSY
|
||
|
GND = J403.GND = pin 23/GND
|
||
|
|
||
|
Then to let Linux master that bus to talk to the DataFlash chip, you must
|
||
|
(a) flash new firmware that disables SPI (set PRR.2, and disable pullups
|
||
|
by clearing PORTB.[0-3]); (b) configure the mtd_dataflash driver; and
|
||
|
(c) cable in the chipselect.

||

|
||
|
------ --------- ---------------
|
||
|
VCC = J400.VCC_EXT = pin 7/D5
|
||
|
SELECT = J400.PB0/nSS = pin 17/C3,nSELECT
|
||
|
GND = J400.GND = pin 24/GND
|
||
|
|
||
|
The "USI" controller, using J405, can be used for a second SPI bus. That
|
||
|
would let you talk to the AVR over SPI, running firmware that makes it act
|
||
|
as an SPI slave, while letting either Linux or the AVR use the DataFlash.
|
||
|
There are plenty of spare parport pins to wire this one up, such as:

SCK = J403.PE4/USCK = pin 5/D3

MOSI = J403.PE5/DI = pin 6/D4
|
||
|
MISO = J403.PE6/DO = pin 12/S5,nPAPEROUT
|
||
|
GND = J403.GND = pin 22/GND
|
||
|
|
||
|
IRQ = J402.PF4 = pin 10/S6,ACK
|
||
|
GND = J402.GND(P2) = pin 25/GND
