Analysis Setup Overview
Let's have a look at the individual components of such a setup:
First of all, there is your device under test which has a MediaLB connection between the on-Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Intelligent Network Interface Controller (INIC) for MOST® and the microcontroller running your application.
A specific debug header is needed to plug in the MediaLB Active Pod. Please make sure that the high-speed debug header is implemented on your PCB as recommended in the MediaLB Specification. The header can be left unpopulated in production but is absolutely essential for debugging during development.
A ribbon cable connects to the MediaLB Monitor which connects via USB 2.0 to your host PC where the actual analysis software called OptoLyzer Suite is running. OptoLyzer Suite software lets you analyze the MediaLB communication on your PCB.
Make sure you have connected all the mentioned cables and components correctly in your setup before you go on with the next steps.
Download the Software
We recommend that you always use the latest version of the OptoLyzer Suite software which you can download from K2L's website.
On K2L's website, go to Products > Software > OptoLyzer Suite > Downloads.
Download the latest OptoLyzer Suite software which is basically the Graphical User Interface (GUI) and the OptoLyzer Components which is a library of services used by the OptoLyzer Suite.
Installation
Before you go on with the installation, make sure that you have full administrative rights on your PC. The next step is to install both packages (the order doesn't matter) and you can simply confirm all the default options. When the installation of OptoLyzer Suite and Components software has been completed, power up the MediaLB Monitor and your device under test.
The Ready-LED should blink red. In case your PC needs to install USB-drivers, confirm this request. Now the installation is finished and the tool is ready to be used.
