Getting Started
2.1.1 Unpacking the Intel

StrongARM
®
SA-1110 Development
Board
Warning: This board contains electronic components that are susceptible to permanent damage from
electrostatic discharge (static electricity). To prevent electrostatic discharge, it is supplied in an
antistatic bag. When handling the board, risk of damage can be alleviated by following a few
simple precautions:
• Remove the board from the bag only when you are working on an antistatic, earthed surface
and wearing an earthed antistatic wrist strap.
• Keep the antistatic bag that the card was supplied in; if you remove the board from a system,
store it back in the bag.
• Do not touch the gold contacts.
2.1.2 Development JTAG
The SA-1110 Development Board uses the JTAG interface to program the PZ3128 and PZ3064
CPLDs. For information on the contents of the CPLD files, see Appendix A.
The same JTAG loop also includes the SA-1110 component. With the appropriate software
installed, the SA-1110 JTAG port hardware can be used to program the flash memories at a slow
rate. However, the SA-1110 JTAG port does not support JTAG In-Circuit Emulation (ICE).

SA-1110 Development Board Software
To purchase an ARM Software Development Kit (SDT), see your Intel sales representative.
The following source and executable files are available from the StrongARM section in the
developer’s area on the Intel website.
• Sample source code including I/O drivers such as the software video-processing engine drivers
and the SCB library available through Intel’s developer’s web site.
• Angel boot loader—Software component of ARM that loads an application from a remote host
computer or from the application flash.
• Set of microHAL libraries (to be used with Angel)—Set of drivers for communicating with the
SA-1100 multimedia development board.
• Diagnostics—Test program that analyze the functions of the SA-1110 Development Board.
Note: All software is available from the StrongARM section in the developer’s area on the Intel website.
2.2 Assembling the SA-1110 Development Platform
The 140-pin connectors are very fragile on the SA-1110 Development Board and the SA-1111
Development Module. Care must be taken when assembling these modules. For information about
assembling, see the Intel
