Procedure
The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps
below to verify board operation:
1) Visit
www.maxim-ic.com/evkitsoftware
to down-
load the latest version of the EV kit software, 9264Rxx.
ZIP. Save the EV kit software to a temporary folder
and uncompress the ZIP file.
2) Install the EV kit software and USB driver on your
computer by running the INSTALL.EXE program
inside the temporary folder. The program files are
copied to your PC and icons are created in the
Windows
Start | Programs
menu. During software
installation, some versions of Windows may show
a warning message indicating that this software
is from an unknown publisher. This is not an error
condition and it is safe to proceed with installation.
Administrator privileges are required to install the
USB device driver on Windows.
3) Verify that all jumpers are in their default positions, as
shown in Table 1.
4) Connect the Rosenberger cable from the MAX9263 EV
kit connector J1 to the MAX9264 EV kit connector J1.
5) Connect the parallel data source to MAX9263
header H1 (if using static data without a pixel clock,
use external function generators to drive PCLK_IN
and VSYNC).
6)
Optional Audio Demo
: Connect an S/PDIF audio
source (such as DVD player digital output) to the
MAX9263 EV kit J21, or connect an I
2
S audio source
to header H1 and remove jumper JU210. Connect
speakers to the MAX9264 EV kit SPKR_L and
SPKR_R oval pads, or plug headphones into the
J206 headphone jack.
7) Connect the USB cable from the PC to the EV
kit board. A Windows message appears when
connecting the EV kit board to the PC for the first
time. Each version of Windows has a slightly dif-
ferent message. If you see a Windows message
stating
ready to use
, then proceed to the next step.
Otherwise, open the USB_Driver_Help_200.PDF
document in the Windows
Start | Programs
menu to
verify that the USB driver was installed successfully.
8) Verify that MAX9263 EV kit LED120 lights up, indicat-
ing that the microcontroller is powered and enabled.
9) Verify that MAX9264 EV kit LED120 lights up, indicat-
ing that the microcontroller is powered and enabled.
10) Verify that MAX9264 EV kit LED2 lights up, indicat-
ing that the link has been successfully established.
If LED2 is off or LED1 is on, double-check that the
PCLK_IN signal is clocking data.
11)
Optional Audio Demo
: If I
2
S or S/PDIF audio was
provided to the MAX9263 EV kit, audio should
now be heard from the speakers or headphones
previously connected to the MAX9264 EV kit.
12) Start the MAX9264 EV kit software by opening its icon
in the
Start | Programs
menu. The EV kit software
configuration window appears, as shown in Figure 8.
13) Press the
Connect
button and the configuration
window disappears.
14) The EV kit software main window appears, as shown
in Figure 1.
15) Press the
Read All
button to read all registers on the
MAX9263 and MAX9264.
16)
I
2
C Slave Device Demo:
Make sure that the MAX9264
EV kit jumpers JU151–JU154 are in the 1-2 position.
17) In the software’s
MAX7324
tab sheet (Figure 4),
press
Search for MAX7324
. Verify that the
MAX7324
Device Address
drop-down list shows
0xDA
(JU151=1-2 JU152=1-2)
.
18) Press the
LED151-LED158 ON
button. Verify that
MAX9264 EV kit LED151–LED158 turn on.
19) Press the
LEDs Alternating
button. Verify that
MAX9264 EV kit LED153, LED151, LED156, and
LED158 turn off.
20)
GPIO Demo:
In the software’s
MAX9264
tab sheet
(Figure 3), scroll down to
Register 0x06
. Uncheck
GPIO1OUT
and press
Write
. Verify that MAX9264
EV kit LED4 turns off.
