Smart Machine Smart Decision 5 EVB and accessory equipment At normal circumstance, the EVB and its accessories are equipped as the Figure below. Figure 16: EVB and accessory equipment 6 Quickly start 6.1 Running There are two ways to provide power supply to SIM5360 module: one is to use the 5V power supply provided in the EVB kit; the other is to use USB port of personal computer.
Smart Machine Smart Decision User can see the light on the EVB flashing at a certain frequency about 1.25Hz. By the state, user can judge whether the EVB and SIM5360 is running or not. No function and test can be executed if user has not connected necessary accessories. NOTE: This EVB board supports USB power supply when user connects USB_VBAT and VBAT together. 6.
Smart Machine Smart Decision (5) If user use UART to USB cable, user need to connect the cable to module serial port and the USB port of the computer, then follow step 1~3. 6.4 Downloading Connect the USB port line to the USB port, connect the direct current source adapter, run the download program, and choose the correct image, please follow the QDL downloading menu for the operation.
