MAGALPHA COMMUNICATION KIT SETUP 

Follow the step below to setup MagAlpha Communication Kit. 

1.  Install Macom Application Software (Windows only) 
2.  Configure LPC-Link2 board in flash boot mode. 
3.  Plug connector board to the LPC-Link2 (EVMA-CONN or TBMA-CONN). 
4.  Connect daughter board to the sensor board (EVKT-KNOB or TBMA). 
5.  Connect LPC-Link2 to computer. 
6.  Start Macom App. 

 

Install Macom Application Software 

Visit the Monolithic Power Systems website at 

www.monolithicpower.com

 and go to the 

Position 

Sensors Design Support

 page. The Macom App can be found on the Software section. 

 

Configure LPC-Link2 Board In Flash Boot Mode 

Plug the jumper on JP1 to configure the microcontroller in flash boot mode. In this mode, the 
microcontroller will load the firmware binary stored in the flash.

Plug 

Connector 

Board To The LPC-Link2 

Plug carefully the desired connector board to the LPC-Link2 as shown on the figure below. Check that 
female headers are correctly aligned with the LPC-Link2 pins before connecting the two boards 
together.
