µQ7 ARM architecture with NI PCI-GPIB

Dear support,

 

we are working with the following card: https://www.ni.com/en-us/shop/model/pci-gpib.html

 

We have designed a custom carrier board that consists of:

 

- µQ7 (Freescale iMX6 solo 1GHz)

- PCI-PCIe bridge (http://www.ti.com/product/xio2001)

- TNT5002 chip

 

We need to implement a full working GPIB interface  on this ARM platform. As I have searched, all the drivers present on the NI website are x86 related so we have to port them ourselves. To do this we need additional documentation like for example the register manual of the TNT5002 chip. We are willing to sign an NDA if necessary.

 

We have worked on this whole setup for a while and this is what we have already achieved:

 

- the iMX6 is able to detect the PCI-PCIe bridge and he NI GPIB cards through the "lspci" command.

 

What we still need to achieve:

 

- Get the GPIB communication working (port the x86 driver and address the right registers,...)

- Configure 2 addresses per GPIB chip (TNT5002 is able to do this)

 

We need all the help and documentation we can get to complete this mission.

Please direct me to the proper links and pages if possible.

 

(More info from our side can be provided under NDA)

 

Thanks in advance!

The register level programming manual is linked on the TNT5002 product page. Are you looking for something else?

For anything related to an NDA, the best route is to contact your local Sales Engineer.
