intro

the dlan green phy module mainly consist of two units: the QCA7000 and the LPC1758 microcontroller. both needs to be properly set up to be used as a EVCC (electric vehicle communication controller).

QCA7000

the qca7000 translates powerline to serial and is used on the dlan green phy module. it can operate in different profile, as described in the readme included in https://github.com/devolo/dlan-greenphy-sdk/blob/master/QCA%20greenPHY%20Software%201_2_4%20Windows%20Linux.zip

config profiles

• iot-generic IoT generic, optimized for performance: 50561 off (SLAC off)
• iot-conform IoT over mains, optimized for conformity: 50561 on (SLAC off)
• emob-charger e-mobility use as charging station: SLAC in EVSE modeÿ(50561 off)
• emob-vehicle e-mobility use as vehicle: SLAC in PEV mode (50561 off)

set config profile for EVCC

use command line tool. e.g. in windows:

C:\code\qca7000_1-2-4-00-1_kit\windows>qca7000-update.cmd emob-vehicle
CFG: emob-vehicle

LPC1758 MCU

the microcontroller on the board which implements the network stack. check the readme at https://github.com/devolo/dlan-greenphy-sdk

to program software on the LPC you need the MCUXpresso IDE (it is free software) from NXP and a JTAG-device for programming the flash.
