QuickstartGuide
PoweringUp
Connect micro-USB cable to the JTAG-UART USB port (J2) as shown in figure 1, and the other side to a
PC/laptop (see figure 2). If you do not need access to the terminal (i.e. WiFi is setup), a USB battery can
also be used as the power source, and alternately plugged into the MiniZed AUX-PWR USB port (J6).

Far-FieldVoiceAssistantOperation
Upon power up and boot, the platform will go into voice-assistant mode and start listening for voice
commands based on the Wakeword "Alexa" (or optionally both "Alexa" and "Ok Google"). An LED will
blink in the direction of the detected WakeWord, and noise/interferrence suppressed audio will be
captured from that direction. See the User Guide for more details.
