Connecting the EDS1100/2100

1.Select the appropriate power plug adaptor for your geographical location. Insert it into the slot on the Universal Power Supply; then plug the power supply into an outlet.

2.Connect the output plug of the power supply to the EDS1100/EDS2100.

3.Connect one end of the supplied DB9F/F (DB25F on EDS1100) serial cable to the serial port on the laptop or desktop.

4.Connect the other end of the supplied serial cable to the serial port on the EDS1100 (CON1 on EDS2100).

5.Connect the PC to the evaluation or demo board with a cross-over cable, or a hub/switch and two regular RJ45 cables.

Booting the Target Device

To boot your target device (MatchPort AR, XPort Pro, or EDS1100 / 2100):

1.From the host computer, open a terminal emulation program for the serial port.

2.Configure the following serial port settings:

baud rate: 115200

data length: 8

parity: None

stop bit: 1

flow control: None

3.Turn the power on.

A series of boot messages displays before the Linux shell prompt of ‘#’ appears.
