Connect the hardware

Attach the USB and other cables to the appropriate hardware connectors.

Connectors

The following ports, connectors and buttons are of most interest when you begin working with your Jacinto 7 J784S4 EVM board. To connect and work with the hardware, you need to do the following:

ensure that the DIP Switches SW2, SW4, SW7, SW11, SW13, and SW16 are set properly. For more information, see the Configure the board switches section in this chapter.
connect the provided USB to serial cable to the J44 connector on the board
For information on powering the Jacinto 7 J784S4 EVM see the Jacinto Processors TDA4AP-Q1/TDA4VP-Q1/TDA4AH-Q1/ TDA4VH-Q1 EVM User’s Guide at https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spruj62/spruj62.pdf on the Texas Instruments website.

Configure the board switches

You must configure the following DIP switches for the board as follows:

For EVM Configuration Switch (SW7) and (SW11), ensure that you have the eight DIP switches set to these positions (listed from 1-8):

(SW7) OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF

(SW11) ON OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF ON OFF

The following diagram shows how SW7 and SW11 should appear on the board:

Figure 1SW7 and SW11

For the Board Configuration Settings (SW2), ensure that you have the ten DIP switches set to these positions (listed from 1-10):

OFF ON OFF OFF OFF OFF ON ON OFF ON

The following diagram shows how SW2 should appear on the board:

Figure 2SW2

For the Board Configuration Settings (SW4), ensure that you have the two DIP switches set to these positions (listed from 1-2):

OFF OFF

The following diagram shows how SW2 should appear on the board:

Figure 3SW4

For the Board Configuration Settings (SW13), ensure that you have the two DIP switches set to these positions (listed from 1-2):

ON ON

The following diagram shows how SW13 should appear on the board:

Figure 4SW13

For the Board Configuration Settings (SW16), ensure that you have the four DIP switches set to these positions (listed from 1-4):

OFF OFF ON ON

The following diagram shows how SW16 should appear on the board:

Figure 5SW16
