2.4.4 Powering-Up the Stargate
If you are using an external power supply, you could use the power supply/adapter provided with the
Development kit. Connect the DC input of the AC wall power adapter to the
J49 connecter on the
daughter card.
If you are using a Li-Ion battery pack, there are 2 usage models:
•
If both Stargate Processor Board and the Daughter Card are used, then J8 must be jumpered on
1-2 position (JACK) and the battery plugged in at the J7 connector on the Daughter Card.
•
If only Stargate Processor Board is used, the J8 must be jumpered on 2-3 position (BATTERY)
and the battery plugged in at J23 .
