Step 3.
Plug the ADS8861EVM into the MMB0.
CAUTION
To avoid bending the connector pins and damaging the EVM, do not misalign
the pins when plugging the ADS8861EVM into the MMB0. Check the pin
alignment carefully before applying power to the PDK.

Powering up the ADS8861EVM-PDK
When the ADS8861EVM-PDK kit is configured, power can be applied to the MMB0. This power comes
from a wall supply that delivers 6 VDC to the MMB0 through J2 on the MMB0 motherboard. This wall
power supply is included with the PDK.
After the power supply is connected, four green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in the bottom right-hand
corner of the MMB0 motherboard should light up. If these LEDs do not light up, disconnect the power and
verify that J12 is closed on the MMB0 motherboard.

PDK Kit Operation
The evaluation software is based on ADCPro. This program operates using a variety of plug-ins. To use
ADCPro, load an EVM plug-in and a test plug-in (select them from the EVM and Test menus,
respectively). To unload a plug-in, select the Unload option from the corresponding menu.
The following sections describe how to use ADCPro and the ADS8861EVM plug-in to acquire data.

About MMB0
The MMB0 provides the USB interface between the computer and the ADS8861EVM. The MMB0 is a
modular EVM system motherboard designed around the
, a DSP with an onboard USB
interface from Texas Instruments. The MMB0 also has 16 MB of SDRAM installed.
The MMB0 is not sold as a DSP development board, and is not available separately. TI cannot offer
support for the MMB0 except as part of an EVM kit. For schematics or other information about the MMB0,
