BlueBox Options
The BlueBox dialog allows you to configure various BlueBox hardware options that influence communication speed, performance, and synchronization behavior.
Access it via Hardware | Options | BlueBox.
Generate log - Available in future updates.
DAQ mode - Available in future updates.
FNet speed - Configure the FNet speed.
•Automatic (default) - Automatically sets the optimal speed (2.5 Gbps or 5 Gbps) based on the connection.
•2.5 Gbps - Sets the speed to 2.5 Gbps. Recommended when using a 5.0 m FNet cable with the BlueBox.
Services
SoC status during high priority - The SoC status represents Vref, the state of the reset line, and core states (excluding real-time memory access).
The BlueBox continuously monitors this status, but depending on the SoC type and number of cores, these checks may require considerable processing time.
When a high-priority activity (such as daqIDEA or SWAT) is running, this monitoring can interfere with performance or introduce timing jitter. To prevent such interference, disable this option during high-priority operations.
MultiSoCSync - In MultiSoC Synchronization within winIDEA, two or more Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) can be debugged in sync. This synchronization can be configured in two modes: Basic or Advanced.
