2.1 Attaching the SOM to the Common Processor Board

  1. Remove mounting screws (4) from Common Processor board (sold separately). The screws are shipped installed in jack-screws. If existing SOM module is already mounted, use Allen wrench (supplied with SOM) to eject SOM module by inserting the wrench into each jack-screw and turning counter-clockwise at each location until SOM module is loose.
  2. Before installing new SOM, make sure all jack-screws are tight by inserting the wrench and turning clockwise at each location.
  3. Install the SOM module on the Common Processor Board. Ensure it is oriented such that all connectors are aligned. Press firmly on the edges to ensure the connectors mate (may have to apply significant pressure).
  4. Install mounting screws (4x) in each corner of the SOM (see below). Tighten each screw to ensure all connectors are fully mated. Don’t over-tighten.

  5. Insert the supplied Linux SD card into the Micro SD card slot (see below). The location of the card slot is on the backside of the Common Processor Board.

  6. Connect the supplied USB cable to the USB/Serial Debug connector as shown. Connect other end to PC. Launch a terminal program (example, TeraTerm) and connect to first of four UARTs that are assigned to USB port. Set terminal to operate at Baud 115200, 8b no parity, and flow control off.

  9. Connect a +12 VDC power supply (not included) with minimum output rating of 5 Amp, positive inner and negative outer terminals, female barrel 5.5 mm x 2.5 mm. Recommended power supply is CUI Inc. SDI65-12-U-P6 or equivalent.
  10. To turn EVM system on, set switch SW2 to the ‘ON’ position. To turn EVM off, set switch SW2 to ‘OFF’.
