ZEUS Embedded Linux Development Kit Quickstart Unpacking and connecting up

To power up the ZEUS and boot AEL Embedded Linux follow these steps:

1 Remove the ZEUS CPU board and all other cables from the Development Kit box

and place them on a static-free work surface. If the board shows any signs of

damage during transit, please contact Eurotech Ltd before proceeding.

2 Enable the battery by moving the jumper labelled JP2 across pins 1 and 2, as

illustrated:

3 Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the socket labeled J6 ETH0 (left hand RJ45

connector as you view the front edge) and the other end into your development

system.

(A crossover cable is supplied in the kit. This is supplied to enable direct

connection between the ZEUS and your host development PC. If you want to use a

hub you must use a straight-through cable instead.

)

4 Optional. If your kit includes a flat panel display, follow these additional instructions:

• Plug one end of the interface cable into the ZEUS flat panel connector J14

FLAT PANEL. Plug the other end into the ZEUS FPIF board connector J1.

• On the ZEUS FPIF board, JP1 must have a link present in position A

• Plug the large connector on the LCD cable into the ZEUS FPIF board

connector J2. Plug the D-shaped connector into the LCD panel and the smaller

cable into the backlight inverter board connector CN1.

• Plug the two remaining cables from the LCD into the backlight inverter board

connectors CN2 and CN3.

Please note:

• For this step and step 5, refer to the diagram on page

15.

• You should make sure that the power is off while connecting the

LCD, as the backlight inverter generates a very high voltage.

5 Optional. If the touchscreen is to be used, do the following:

• Plug the 4-wire ribbon cable into the ZEUS connector J1.

• Plug the other end of the 4-wire cable into the touchscreen.

Pin 1 is marked on the touchscreen with an arrow. The 4-wire ribbon

cable must be oriented so that the brown wire is connected to pin 1.

6 Fit the ZEUS power supply to the power input J3.

7 Fit the appropriate AC power cord to the power supply unit.
