Typical Installation
1.
Ensure all external system power supplies are off.
2.
Install the Jetson TX2/TX2i/TX1 Module onto the Samtec SEARAY Connector P1. Be sure to follow the
manufacturer’s directions for proper installation of mounting hardware, heatsink/heatspreader, and any
other applicable requirements from the manufacturer.
3.
Install the necessary cables for application. At a minimum these would include:
a)
Power cable to the input power connector
b)
Serial console from the 15 pin I/O cable
c)
Hardware tools like Bus Pirate (https://www.seeedstudio.com/, https://www.adafruit.com/ or for EU
customers http://www.watterott.com/) to connect TTL signals from Sprocket to USB port of your
computer in order to acess console (Uart0).
Alternatively, TTL to USB cable like TTL-232R-3V3-WE or similar could be used) can also be used
to the emaulate the serial console over Putty (or similar opensource serial port emulator) on your PC.
Note: Serial Console using Bus Pirate:
Sprocket has been tested working with Bus Pirate v3.6 right out of the box. TX from Sprocket goes to
MISO pin on BusPirate and RX goes to MOSI pin; finally GND goes to GND.
Serial Console using TTL (+3.3V) to USB cable:
TTL to USB serial adapter cable may require an external 5KΩ series resistor to be added between CB251-
Pin 13 (Uart0-TX) and RXD pin of TTL-232R-3V3-WE. Similarly, may require an external 2KΩ series
resistor to be added between CB251-Pin 12 (Uart0-RX) and TXD pin of TTL-232R-3V3-WE.
