Basic Setup
The following steps outline the procedure for setting up a typical development system. The
Osprey should be handled at an ESD workstation or while wearing a grounded antistatic wrist
strap.
Before you begin, unpack the Osprey and accessories. Verify that you received all the items you
ordered. Inspect the system visually for any damage 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 Osprey as well as 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.
