Connecting to the PC Using EMUBOOST

3.2

Connecting the Boards

Figure 14

shows the connection of the CC3100 BoosterPack to the EMUBOOST Board. The connectors

should be aligned carefully as it does not have polarity protection and the sFlash can be erased as a
result. The pins #1 of the connectors are marked on the board using a small triangle marking; these
should be aligned while connecting.

Figure 14. The CC3100BOOST Connected to the EMUBOOST

CAUTION

Align the pin-1 of the boards together using the triangle marking on the PCB.
An incorrect connection can destroy the boards permanently.

Ensure that none of the header pins are bent before connecting the two boards.
