Configuration and Setup
Initial Configuration
The following components are recommended for a typical development system.
EPM-32 Two Board Set (CPU Module & I/O Module)
200-pin SODIMM DDR200, DDR266 or DDR333
ATX Power Supply
SVGA Video Monitor
Keyboard and Mouse with PS2 Connector
IDE Hard Drive
IDE CD ROM Drive
The following VersaLogic cables are recommended. These cables are included in the
development cable kit (CKR-CHEE) that ships with the EPM-32.
CBR-1008 – ATX Adapter Cable
CBR-1201 – Video Cable
CBR-8001 – Standard I/O Breakout Cable
CBR-4406 – IDE Data Cable
CBR-4405 – 44-pin to 40-pin Adapter (one for each 3.5” drive)
Note:
Non-RoHS-compliant versions of these cables are no longer available for
purchase. Non-RoHS cable part numbers begin with the prefix CBL and have the
same base numbers as their RoHS counterparts. If you own non-RoHS cables, they
can be used with the EPM-32p or EPM-32t in non-RoHS applications only.
The VL-ENCL-5b enclosure provides a portable benchtop platform for system development. See
the
Basic Setup
The following steps outline the procedure for setting up a typical development system. The
EPM-32 should be handled at an ESD workstation or while wearing a grounded antistatic wrist
strap.
Before you begin, unpack the EPM-32 and accessories. Verify that you received all the items you
ordered. Inspect the system visually for any damaged that may have occurred in shipping.
Contact
immediately if any items are damaged or missing.
Gather all the peripheral devices you plan to attach to the EPM-32 and their interface and power
cables.
It is recommended that you attach standoffs to the board to stabilize the board and make it easier
to work with.
Figure 2 shows a typical start-up configuration (using RoHS compatible cables).
