Getting started
A ZEUS Quickstart Manual is provided with each Development Kit to enable you to set up and start using the ZEUS board. Please read the relevant manual and follow the steps explaining how to set up the board. Once you have completed this task, and your ZEUS system is working, you can start adding further peripherals enabling development to begin.
This section explains how to set up and use some of the features of the ZEUS. For more detailed information on any aspect of the board see the section Detailed hardware description, page 18.
