2.7.2 Installation

The Add-on board kit includes mounting hardware to install the board onto any compatible Arm-based processors EVMs.

The mounting hardware includes the following:

  • 3x M3 Screws
  • 3x plastic washers
  • 3x metal nuts
  • 3x plastic spacers

Below is the recommended method of mounting the add-on board:

  1. Place the plastic washers on all screws
  2. Place the screw with washers in the mounting holes of the add-on board
  3. On the main EVM, place the plastic spacers on top of the main EVM mounting holes for the corresponding connector
  4. Align the screws of the add-on board with the plastic spacers and main EVM mounting holes
  5. Press down on the add-on board until there is an audible click signifying the connectors are flush
  6. Thread the metal nuts on the underside of the main EVM on the screws until there is a secure connection between the add-on board and main EVM

Note: TI does NOT recommend mounting any Ethernet Add-on cards to the EVM without the mounting hardware. Doing so may cause damage to either or both boards.
