GETTING STARTED
The SIM535 comes pre-configured with a boot loader in the boot
Serial FLASH
and a demo program pre-installed in a
FAT file system on the
e-MMC FLASH
. When initially powered, the demo will start running and displaying info on the
LCD screen.
Many SIMs can be easily powered in the lab environment using the USB device connector from a PC/hub. However the
SIM535’s power needs exceed the capabilities of PC-based USB ports or hubs, so powering the SIM535 requires an
external power supply. In addition, since the primary mechanism of communicating from the SHIPTide development tool
to the SIM is through that same USB device port, you cannot use a higher-capacity tablet/phone power charger for this
connection or you would obstruct the ability to communicate with the SIM. Therefore, powering the SIM535 requires
delivering approximately 5V@1A to one of the ports that exposes the +VEXT signal:
16-pin Power/Communications Connector
60-Pin Board-to-Board Expansion Connector
SHIP Programming Port
Powering from the
16-pin Power/Communications Connector
All SIM535 development kits come with a 16 pin wire harness for prototyping that can connect in to the
16-pin
Power/Communications Connector
. An AC power adapter with fixed 5VDC@1A output or similar lab power supply can
be connected to the power pins of this harness to power the SIM535.
Powering from the
60-Pin Board-to-Board Expansion Connector
A variety of daughter-cards can be plugged into the
60-Pin Board-to-Board Expansion Connector
and through this
connector the SIM can be powered. For example, the off-the-shelf SCM117 Intelligent Power/Protocol Converter
daughter card has an on-SCM DC-DC converter that can converter 9-25VDC to the 5VDC needed by both the SCM and
the SIM. An AC power adapter or lab power supply with 9, 12, 15, or 24VDC at 5W or greater can be connected into the
direct-wire-insert connectors on the SCM117.
Powering from the
SHIP Programming Port
The SIM535 can be powered via the
SHIP Programming Port (SPP)
. This port is commonly used for GUI development and
connection with the SHIPTide development tool on the PC, since the SPP carries both USB and power to the SIM, and is a
common port across many new SIMs including the SIM115, SIM231, and SIM535. Some SIM535 development kits
include the
SHIP Programming Connector 200 (SPC200)
, a small connector/cable adapter which plugs into the SPP on
one end and on the other end plugs into a
SHIP Programming Adapter 200 (SPA200)
. The SPA200 is connected to the PC
via USB and provides intelligent programming services from SHIPTide and other PC-based software for development and
volume programming. A stand-alone USB AC power adapter (1A minimum) connected to the SPA100 powers not only
the SPA220, but also can power the attached SIM.
Be careful to connect the right power connections on the 16-pin wire harness to avoid damaging your SIM.
Several connectors may be used to power the SIM535. See
