# JTAG Interface
|
||
|
||
When connecting the MCU to the programmer via the JTAG interface, it is possible for a local power supply connected to the MCU to be used or for power from the debugging/programming adapter to be used. Since having power supplied to the MCU from the debugging/programming adapter can be useful for use outside of the Sunseeker vehicle, we chose to use that.

# Microcontroller Connections
|
||
|
||
The board is going to be organized to the best of our abilities to be organized as such:
|
||
|
||
- Left Side:
|
||
- Peripherals for communicating with/controlling the Sunseeker vehicle
|
||
- Right Side:
|
||
- Peripherals for communicating with users
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
#### Universal Serial Communication Interfaces (USCIs):
|
||
|
||
- A - Supporting up to four total of UART and/or SPI
|
||
- A0 [SPI]:
|
||
- CANbus Controller 0 (Microchip Technology MCP2515T-I/SO)
|
||
- CANbus Controller 1 (Microchip Technology MCP2515T-I/SO)
|
||
- A1:
|
||
- A2 [UART]:
|
||
- USB to UART Bridge (Future Technology Devices International FT230XS-R)
|
||
- A3 [UART]:
|
||
- RS-232 Transceiver (STMicroelectronics ST232CDR)
|
||
|
||
- B - Supporting up to four total of I2C and/or SPI
|
||
- B0 [SPI]:
|
||
- SD Card
|
||
- GPS Receiver (Maxim Integrated MAX2771ETI+T)
|
||
- B1 [I2C]:
|
||
- Inertial Measurement Unit (TDK InvenSense ICM-20600)
|
||
- Real-Time Clock/Calendar (Microchip Technology MCP7940MT-I/SN)
|
||
- B2:
|
||
- B3 [SPI]:
|
||
- Bluetooth/Wi-Fi (Espressif Systems ESP32-WROVER-IE (8MB))
|
||
|
||
|
||
|

In addition to trying to keep the MCU and PCB organized with the left-side being to do with the Sunseeker vehicle and the right side to be peripherals interacting with users, we tried to also load-balance the USCI modules, as well as have the SPI protocol be used in more high data-rate peripherals and I2C used with lower or less-used peripherals. In Texas Instruments SLAS655G Document [Page 7] has a pin diagram showing the physical location of where each pin is physically located. |
