ADAPTERS CARDS
The Evaluation board can be used with other platforms besides PCI. To accomplish this, adapters are
used that interface to a special connector on the Evaluation board and mate with the unique connectors
used on the various target platforms. At this time adapters are available to support the following
platforms:
•
Intel SA-1110/1111 Development Platform (Assabet/Neponset)
•
Intel PXA2x0 Development Platform (Lubbock)
•
Palm Development Platform (Hurricane)
•
Motorola Dragonball Development Platform
•
NEC VR4121 Development Platform (Falcon)
•
Hitachi SH7709/SH7750 Development Platforms (S1 or R1)
When used in a PCI system, the adapters must be removed or damage can occur to the Evaluation board
and/or system. The follow sections describe the various adapter cards and their usage.

As shown above, the adapter for the Assabet/Lubbock platforms has three connectors. J2 mates with the
“Generic CPU” connector located on the back of the Evaluation board. Connector U1 mates with either
of the female connectors on the Assabet platform. This connector is keyed so cannot be installed
incorrectly. Connector U2 is not used with the Evaluation board.
The adapter can be configured to work on either the Assabet or Lubbock platforms. This is done by
installing three 0 ohm resistors in R3, R5 and R8 (Assabet) or R4, R6 and R7 (Lubbock). The diagram
above shows the adapter configured for the Assabet platform.
