a. Open the Device Manager (located in Control Panel | System).
b. Select the Hardware tab and click Device Manager.
c. Select View | Devices by Type | Ports (COM & LPT) The device appears as M6eMicro (COM#).
NOTE: The carrier board can be used independently of the Dev Kit motherboard via the USB connector
on the carrier board. If the carrier board is to be powered by the USB connector, a jumper
(nearest the USB connector) must be installed that connects “VIN” to “+5USB” (these labels are
silkscreened on the carrier board).
NOTE: For higher power applications (requiring higher Power Consumption than a USB port can
provide), leave the jumper off, and connect power through the test point loops or through the dev
kit.
Development Kit Jumpers
J8
Jumpers to connect Micro I/O lines to dev kit.
J9
Header for alternate power supply. Make sure DC plug (J1) is not connected if using J9.
J10, J11
Jump pins OUT to GPIO# to connect Micro GPIO lines to output LEDs. Jump pins IN to GPIO# to connect
Micro GPIO to corresponding input switches SW[3,4]GPIO#. Make sure GPIO lines are correspondingly
configured as input or outputs (see Configuring GPIO Settings).
J13, J15
Not used.
J14
Can be used to connect GPIO lines to external circuits. If used jumpers should be removed from J10, J11.
J16
Jump pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3 to reset dev kit power supply. Same as using switch SW1 except allows for
control by external circuit.
J17
Jump pins 1 and 2 to use the 5V INPUT and GND inputs to provide power. Jump pins 2 and 3 to use the
Development Kitʼs DC power jack and power brick power.
J19
The jumper at J19 that connects Shutdown to ground must be REMOVED. With this jumper removed, the
module is always operational. The shutdown switch has no effect on the Micro. To put the Micro into
shutdown mode is to reinstall the jumper at J19. See Micro Digital Connector Signal Definition for details on
the Shutdown Line. AUTO_BOOT controls Reset Line.
