Evaluation Board Description
The XPort AR Evaluation Board provides many features for evaluating the Lantronix XPort
AR embedded device server. These features allow both quick start-up for immediate
interaction with the XPort AR and its operating system, as well as a prototyping area and
easy access to all signals for evaluating advanced features.
Major Features
The major features of the evaluation board include:
Headers offering:
♦
All 18 signals of the XPort AR interface.
♦
Monitoring LEDs to jumper to XPort AR Configurable Pins (CPs).
♦
Input control switches to jumper to XPort AR CPs.
♦
Pull-up resistors to jumper to XPort AR CPs.
♦
Signal ground (GND) to jumper to XPort AR CPs.
Prototyping Area:
♦
258 holes on 100 mil centers.
♦
Every header pin is also connected to the adjacent prototyping hole.
♦
8 power and 8 ground holes are available for powering prototype circuits.
LEDs:
♦
Power (Blue).
♦
Tx (Green) & Rx (Yellow) activity for both ports A and B.
♦
Four available to jumper to CPs for monitoring.
Power:
♦
3.3V input with power switch.
♦
PoE socket containing all signals necessary to receive power over Ethernet and return
3.3V to the board.
Serial Ports:
♦
Two DE-9 male connectors
♦
Transceivers can be disconnected from XPort AR by jumper removal (if not used).
Switches:
