Follow these steps to set up your ConnectCore 8X SBC Express hardware:
-
Connect the USB serial cable to the CONSOLE connector on the board and to your host computer. The operating system will detect the board as a new serial port. Identify the new serial port on your operating system (/dev/ttyUSBx in Linux, COMx in Windows), as you will need to open a console at that port in the following step.
If the operating system does not recognize your board you must manually install the drivers, which are available on the Prolific website. -
Connect the Ethernet cable (not included) to the Ethernet port.
-
(Optional) Connect the AUO 10.1" LVDS LCD display (not included, Digi P/N CC-ACC-LCDW-10) to the LVDS PARALLEL connector on the bottom side of the board. You can purchase the LCD Application Kit from Digi.
-
Ensure the BOOT micro-switches are both in the OFF position.
-
Connect the power supply to the power barrel connector.
