2  Get Started with SLN-VIZNAS-IOT 

2.1  Box Contents 

The SLN-VIZNAS-IOT kit arrives in a box  alongside a printed Quick Start Guide and a 
USB-C Cable.  

 

Figure 3: SLN-VIZNAS-IOT Box Contents

 

Please  check  your  kit  for  damage  or  marks,  and,  if  seen,  please  contact  your  NXP 
representative. 

2.2  Running the Demo 

To get started, take the USB-C cable provided inside the kit and plug the USB-A end into 
your computer and the USB-C end into your kit. 

 

Figure 4: Plugging in SLN-VIZNAS-IOT Kit 

Once connected, a green LED (D1) will light up to indicate the kit is powered on.
