TS-7970 Silabs Changelog

From embeddedTS Manuals
Revision Changes
0
  • Initial Release
1
  • Added Sleep mode
  • Blinks blue LED in low power modes. Sleep mode does this, as well as USB device connected with no power on the main VIN.
2
  • Added support for REV D boards. Earlier boards will continue to use REV 1 only.
3
  • Fixed Silabs not responding on I2C after sleep mode is used.
4
  • This revision prevents USB suspend from putting the silabs into a low power state. In previous versions if a USB cable is connected, but the serial console is not open, then some operating systems will issue a USB suspend. This would prevent communication over the I2C to the silabs.
5
  • Port to Silicon Labs EFM8 series
6
  • Initial migration to Renesas RA4M2 series.
7
  • Support for in the field updates
  • USB Serial number set to board Serial/MAC address
  • Sleep mode bug fixes
8
  • Prevent RTC/SRAM writes as power is dropping to prevent corruption
  • USB CDC ACM fixed issues with dropped characters. REV 8 will not drop any data in TX/RX at 115200 baud.
9
  • RTC write fixes
10
  • Added support for disabling internal RTC if vbatt is < 2V so we can support optional population of the real ISL RTC for custom populations
  • RTC bug fixes
11
  • Fixed RTC bug that can prevent reboot
12
  • Fixed CDC ACM bug that resulted in large amounts of interrupts on the host system
13
  • Added support for configurable RTC offsets to calibrate RTC.
14
  • Fix CDC-ACM to fix support with some USB UART clients on Windows 10 after a Windows Update.
    • Putty, Realterm, and possibly others would refuse to open the port.
    • Teraterm was not affected
    • Windows 11 is not affected so far
    • Linux connectivity is not affected
15
  • Fixed regression with lowest power sleep mode with USB disconnected. This fix is required to wake back up from sleep.
