2.2 Revision Differences

The HSS-HCMOTHERBRDEVM has several different hardware revisions that are detailed below in Table 2-1. Note that all of the revisions of the EVM have compatible firmware with each other and no revision-specific software is required.

Table 2-1 Differences Between EVM Revisions
Revision PCB Color Notes
1 White
  • Initial release of the EVM
2 Blue
  • Diode added to buck converter to prevent reverse current and damage to buck converter
3 Purple
  • Unused LEDs removed
  • SPI lines isolated from power planes and debug header moved to allow for high frame rates
  • Electrolytic capacitor added to input of the buck converter to help with transient testing
  • Digipot removed due to accuracy issues
  • Each VDD pin has a banana jack connector and the ability to isolate buck converter from VBB for transient testing
4 Orange
  • Connectors changed to accommodate higher load currents and future variants
  • D5 LED will now signify if daughter card is connected and host is connected via USB.
