Overview

The TS-8200 is a TS-SOCKET Baseboard that provides a test and development platform for Technologic Systems TS-4xxx products. and accepts any TS-4xxx Macrocontroller. The TS-8200 provides industry standard connectors for the various ports and features on many of the TS Macrocontroller products like the TS-4500, TS-4200, etc. It provides transceivers for the RS-232 ports, CAN port, and the RS-485 port, brought out to the male DB9 and .1" pitch header connections. It also has the Ethernet "magnetics", RJ-45 connector, USB Host and Device connectors, Temperature Sensor, MicroSD card socket, Realtime Clock Battery, and two LEDs. Power input requirement is regulated 5.0 to 12.0 VDC.

Getting Started

The TS-8200 board has no specific boot sequence since the processor and Linux Operating System are located on the selected TS-4000 Series Macrocontroller. For the rest of the boot and setup procedure, please refer to the manual for the selected TS-4000 series Macrocontroller you are using listed here.

Before attempting to apply power to the TS-8200, perform the following steps while taking proper static discharge precautions

• Place the TS-8200 base board on a firm non-conductive surface.
• Carefully, insert the TS-4000 Series Macrocontroller daughterboard by aligning and pressing evenly and firmly onto the pair of mating connectors
• Connect the console serial terminal cable
• Connect the Ethernet cable is applicable.
• Apply power
• Monitor the TS-SOCKET SBC using a terminal emulator connected to the serial console port to verify that the board is operating properly
• Connect either a regulated 5.0 to 12.0 VDC on the power input connector or the regulated 5.0 VDC via USB Device port. Please note the polarity printed on the board.

Common Connectors

Push Switch

The TS-8200 contains a push switch that has multiple functions. On unit reset (or power on) the switch connects to a simple DIO input where the state of the switch may be read. The initial startup software may branch and perform any required functionality based on the switch state. The switch may also be deployed as a reset button, by setting an enable bit within the FPGA. This is the default behavior of the boot sequence, enabling the switch as a reset button approximately 1 second after reset or power on.

Ethernet

The TS-8200 contains a single Ethernet port interface utilizing an MMT MJKF4602 RJ-45 jack with integrated magnetic's and both Link Activity and Speed LED's. The LINK LED (right side of connector, green) is active when a valid Ethernet link is detected. This LED should be ON whenever the TS-8200 is powered and properly connected to a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet network.

MicroSD Interface

This MicroSD is on the same lines as the MicroSD on the macrocontroller. Only one ca be populated at the same time.
