SX25 Hardware Platform

Key features

D2B/SMARTwireX compliant hardware platform
Supplied with the Cayuga Pro Software Suite
Enables development before device hardware availability leading to shorter design times
Operates as either an emulator or network analyser unit
CODEC conversion of audio to I2S
Phono connectors for audio in/out
RS-232/USB serial control port

The SX25 Kit comprises a D2B/SMARTwireX hardware emulator/network analyser platform, available in both D2B Optical and D2B Smartwire options, plus the Cayuga Pro software suite.

The Cayuga Pro software emulators can be mixed in a D2B/SMARTwireX network with ‘real’ devices to accurately emulate a full or partial system. Populating a ring with real-time emulators in this way enables device software to be developed with a high degree of confidence so that it will be compliant with the target system.

The Network Analyser is a powerful development, test and debug tool for D2B/SMARTwireX based multimedia network systems, allows capture of all D2B/SMARTwireX control messages from all nodes in any position of the network. It is simple and intuitive to use.

D2B/SMARTwireX messages are displayed simultaneously in Hexadecimal and Text formats, facilitating interpretation and automatically time-stamped by the underlying hardware with an accuracy of 10 ms reporting any encoding, loss of lock and parity errors.

Connected to a PC and 12V DC supply, the unit is portable and can be used in the vehicle or workshop as a test or debug tool.
