Programming of these devices are performed by two-wire or four-wire serial interface. + +Initialization: +=============== +On reset, VSC devices are in low-power state with all inputs, outputs and connections in an off state. +First thing required is to program it to interface with either two-wire or four-wire interface. +In our case the interface is two-wire I2C serial interface. So the value in Interface mode register at address 79.h to be written is 0x02 for two-wire interface. Also for crosspoint connections to be activated, 01.h value need to be written in 75.h (core configuration register). + +API Overview: +============= + + vsc_if_enable(u8 vsc_addr): + -------------------------- + This API programs VSC to interface with either two-wire or four-wire interface. In our case the interface is two-wire I2C serial interface. So the value in Interface mode register at address 79.h to be written is 0x02 for two-wire interface. + Parameters: + vsc_addr - Address of the VSC device on board. + + + vsc3316_config(u8 vsc_addr, int con_arr[][2], u8 num_con): + --------------------------------------------------------- + This API configures the VSC3316 device for required connections. Connection through the VSC device requires the inputs and outputs to be properly configured. + Connection registers are on page 00. It Configures the selected input and output correctly and join them to make a connection. It also program Input state register, Global input ISE, Global input LOS, Global core control, Output mode register and core control registers etc. + vsc3308_config(u8 vsc_addr, int con_arr[][2], u8 num_con) does the essential configurations for VSC3308. + + Parameters: + vsc_addr - Address of the VSC device on board. + con_arr - connection array + num_con - number of connections to be configured + + vsc_wp_config(u8 vsc_addr): + -------------------------- + For crosspoint connections to be activated, 01.h value need to be written in 75.h (core configuration register), which is done by this API. + Parameters: + vsc_addr - Address of the VSC device on board. |
