1.5Precautions

This section contains safety information and advice on how to avoid damage to the core module.

1.5.1Ensuring safety

Warning

To avoid a safety hazard, only Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) equipment should be connected to the JTAG interface.

1.5.2Preventing damage

The core module is intended for use within a laboratory or engineering development environment. It is supplied without an enclosure which leaves the board sensitive to electrostatic discharges and allows electromagnetic emissions.

Caution

To avoid damage to the board you should observe the following precautions.

Never subject the board to high electrostatic potentials.

Always wear a grounding strap when handling the board.

Only hold the board by the edges.

Avoid touching the component pins or any other metallic element.

Do not use the board near equipment which could be:

sensitive to electromagnetic emissions (such as medical equipment)

a transmitter of electromagnetic emissions.
