unfavorable operating conditions or is due to violations against our

operating regulations or against rules of good electrical engineering

practice, or if our request to return the defective object is not promptly

complied with.

Costs of support, maintenance, customization and product care

Please be advised that any subsequent improvement shall only be free of

charge if a defect is found. Any form of technical support, maintenance and

customization is not a warranty service, but instead shall be charged extra.

Software architecture 9/70

2 Software architecture

2.1 Basics

Key feature of the netX 90 SoC is the logical separation of communication

tasks (i.e. industrial Ethernet protocol processing) and application tasks (i.e.

IO data/application processing), which are handled by two separate ARM

Cortex-M4 CPUs, i.e. the “COM CPU” and the “APP CPU”.

Figure1: netX 90 architecture

Hilscher offers a range of pre-certified software protocol stacks for industrial

communication tasks as pre-built and ready-to-use firmware.

Note that there are three different firmware use cases:

A: Small footprint slave device

B: Small footprint slave device with firmware update area in SQI flash

C: Full featured loadable firmware

Each use case determines how the integrated memory is used, whether

external memory is required (SQI flash and/or SDRAM) and which memory

areas the COM CPU and the APP CPU may use. The use cases are

described in full detail in section Firmware use cases [}page13] of this

document.

netX 90 | Production guide

Software architecture 10/70

Hilscher’s netX Studio CDT IDE includes all components required to

configure, develop and debug the embedded application software.

The “flasher” utility included in the netX Studio CDT installation can be used

to flash/program all necessary software components to the netX 90-based

device.

You can access and use the flasher utility either via the netX Studio GUI

(recommended for software development or flashing of single prototypes)

or via command line interface (recommended for end-of-line mass

production).

The software components that need to be flashed to the netX 90 are

described in full detail in section Files [}page20] of this document.
