A network watchdog

All parts needed to build this AVR ethernet solution can be ordered from
http://shop.tuxgraphics.org/
Note that the magnetics need to fit exactly the requirements of the enc28j60
chip. You can not just take any transformer.
eth_rem_dev_tcp_pre.hex
-----------------------
A pre-compiled program with the IP address: 10.0.0.27 and the
MAC address 54:55:58:11:00:27 is available as eth_rem_dev_tcp_pre.hex
You can change the IP address at runtime but not the MAC. The MAC must
be uniqueue in your network.
The relay that controls the reset or the power of the monitored host
must be connected via pin PD7.
Compiling the software yourself
-------------------------------
!! READ THIS FIRST !!
---------------------
! Edit the file main.c and change the line:
! static uint8_t mymac[6] = {0x54,0x55,0x58,0x11,0x00,0x27};
! In the test programs you should also change this:
! static uint8_t myip[4] = {10,0,0,27};
Check the file "Makefile" and make sure the MCU is set correctly:
MCU=atmega168
or
MCU=atmega88
For the first device you build you will not need to change the mymac line.
But you will probably need to change the IP address (myip). It must be a
free address from the address range in your home network.
There is a range of private addresses (not routed on the public internet)
which you can use:
Netmask Network Addresses
255.0.0.0 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
255.255.0.0 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
255.255.255.0 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
Example: you wlan router might have 192.168.1.1, your PC might have
192.168.1.2. This means you could e.g use 192.168.1.10 and leave some
room for more PCs. If you use DHCP then make sure that the address it not
double allocated (exclude it from the DHCP range).
You need an avr-gcc development environment in order to compile this.
You need at least avrlibc-1.4.x !! The atmega88 will not work with earilier
version.
To compile the final software use the command:
make
Note: windows users may use and modify the supplied win_cmp.bat to setup the
environment correctly.
The above command will compile the following hex files:
eth_rem_dev_tcp.hex test0.hex test1.hex test2.hex test_readSiliconRev.hex
The command
make load
will execute the avrdude command to load the software.
E.g something like:
avrdude -p m168 -c stk500v2 -e -U flash:w:eth_rem_dev_tcp.hex
! Note your programmer might interfer with the enc28j60! For the avrusb500
! with 30cm cable you can normally leave the cable on. For all other programmers
! it is however saver to remove the programmer cable and power down/up the device.
! This is because the SPI interface is used for loading of the software and
! communication to the enc28j60.
To see a list of all possible build targets run the command:
make help
Selecting the right clock source
--------------------------------
Tuxgraphics hardware sold as of march 2007 is prepared to use the clock
signal from the enc28j60. To use this you need to change the
low fuse byte once from 0x62 to 0x60:
avrdude -p m88 -c stk500v2 -u -v -U lfuse:w:0x60:m
or
avrdude -p m168 -c stk500v2 -u -v -U lfuse:w:0x60:m
or
avrdude -p m328 -c stk500v2 -u -v -U lfuse:w:0x60:m
or just type in your Linux shell:
make fuse
After programming the fuse settings of atmega168 and atmega88 should be:
low fuse: 0x60
high fuse: 0xdf
ext. fuse: 0x01
For the atmega328 the hfuse and efuse bytes look slightly different.
The idea is however the same. Just change the lfuse from factory default
to 0x60. The fuse settings of the atmega328 are after programming:
lfuse reads as 0x60
hfuse reads as 0xD9
efuse reads as 0x07
details of the lfuse bits:
CKDIV8 = 0
CKOUT = 1
SUT1 = 1
SUT0 = 0
CKSEL3 = 0
CKSEL2 = 0
CKSEL1 = 0
CKSEL0 = 0
Note: Older hardware must use the atmega88 internal clock (8MHz).
Don't try to change any fuse bytes on the older hardware!! You will
not easily be able to undo such an operation on the older hardware.
It will completely halt and nothing will work anymore.
The older hardware must use the factory default fuses which look like this:
low fuse: 0x62
high fuse: 0xdf
ext. fuse: 0x01
If you are unsure what the current fuse setting are on the
atmega88 (or atmega168/ atmega328) then you can read the
fuse settings with a command like:
avrdude -p m88 -c stk500v2 -v -q
The result should be this (default factory settings):
avrdude: safemode: lfuse reads as 62
avrdude: safemode: hfuse reads as DF
avrdude: safemode: efuse reads as 1
Compiling on non-Unix systems
-----------------------------
Please use the provided Makefile
It will also work under Windows except for the loading
of the software. That is compiling will work but not
"make load". Use then whatever tools and commands to download
the resuting .hex file into the micrcontroller
Take also a look at the supplied win_cmp.bat file. This bat script
might be needed to set the environment correctly.
Using the webserver based network watchdog:
-------------------------------------------
Point your web browser to
http://10.0.0.27 (or what ever IP address you have given your hardware)
You should get as answer a web page with (default password is "secret"):
Menu: actions | config | help | refresh page
Host watchdog
Status: OK [reset cnt:0, active]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
monitored IP: [10.0.0.7 ]
ping interval: [30 ]s [*]Send ping
pw: [ ]
[change]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 2.16
The above web-page does an automatic refresh every 60sec.
