1 HILTOP Hardware In-the Loop Test Operating Platform A comprehensive test system under your control tired of closed vendor tools? Embrace the future in automation The HILTOP is developed by Devtank as a modular open source test and measurement platform to give customers access to an open yet powerful base on which to build their test and measurement solutions. Users can develop their own hardware, software and test scripts or use expert suppliers such as Devtank to provide bespoke test solutions. We supply a range of customisation options and base software control to get you started all based on a stable linux software platform and comprehensive design expertise. All hardware designs, schematics, gerber data, enclosure information and base software are available free from our website ( or github account. Typical Applications Automated Test and Measurement (ATE) Remote monitoring Hardware in the loop testing Measurement automation Production process monitoring Production functional testing Industrial Control Feature Summary CPU-1.GHz Broadcom Quad Core ARM Cortex FPGA- Lattice ICE40HX8K Integrated SATA support and 1TB hard-drive Gigabit Ethernet port Integrated programmable 30V/A Power supply 7" high contrast colour touch screen 3 x USB.0 ports GPIO Expansion slots for additional hardware USB Barcode scanner and camera support High Speed Open VTI Backplane standard Standard Eurocard ready 6HP expansion ports x Isolated RS 485/4 interfaces x Isolated CAD FD interfaces Script generation from DOORS test specifications Dual control software platform accessed either from the shop floor or remote web interface Data Logging Capability with SQL database integration

Can be driven from master CPU or FPGA. Master Clock Matched length LVDS signal driven from master FPGA. Cards can use this as a reference clock to synchronise their internal clocks using Phase lock loop. USB Bus to each card from the motherboard CPU (via HUB chip). Max data rate of 480Mbps (USB.0) LVDS Bus from master FPGA to each card. (Max data rate TBC est. 100Mbps) Local Bus each card has uncommitted IO for communication with its neighbour. (Allows multi-card solutions to be realised) Common Bus each card is connected to a mixture of common CPU and FPGA IO Signals. This includes a mixture of digital TTL GPIO and comms buses including SPI, IC and PWM.

5 Software The HILTOP software is a scalable modular platform with structured back-end libraries specifically targeted at Test, Measurement and Automation applications. Python is typically used for implementing customer focused automated test scripts but C/C++ can be used for test programs too. Script generators can be created to generate Python test scripts from test specification documents or DOORS requirements modules enabling systems engineers to create tests with potential for significant cost savings and reduced time to test. All test results are stored in an SQL Database and can be stored locally or output over LAN to your network. Results are logged by serial number so products can be tracked through manufacture and through life. HILTOP test solutions provide remote access and control features so it doesn't matter if your manufacturing facility is in Asia and your product development is in the UK. Dual control software accessed from either the touchscreen or remote web interface. Key Features Open Source We are an open book. Customer have no less access than ourselves. We welcome involvement and collaboration. All software is licensed under LGPL unless prior agreement is made with the customer. Standard Languages C, C++ and Python. Abstracted Hardware Testing Framework The testing framework is abstracted from physical hardware so only the hardware interface needs to be defined for new hardware testing. Database Backed & Data Driven Test results can be stored in central database over LAN as well as locally on the device. Results can be retrospectively processed to fine tune production or add full traceability to a product s test history. Tests updated centrally without need to touch individual test stations. Data analysis and product yield information at your disposal. Touch Screen and Barcode Driven GUI Controlled with a combination of a touch screen and a barcode scanner, the GUI is designed to be used by non-technical operators of production test stations. Remote Access Test stations can be observed and controlled remotely via the web interface.
