4.3. STANDALONE USE OF THE BOARD
When the RTE-V830-PC is used as a standalone rather than being installed in the PC, it
requires an external power supply. In addition, communication with the debugger is supported
only by the RS-232C interface. This configuration is useful when the host debugger used with
the board is not one in the PC/AT or compatible as well as when the board is used for hardware
confirmation and expansion.
The RTE-V830-PC can be used as a standalone according to the following procedure.
•
Get an RS-232C cable for connection with the host and an external power supply (+5 V, 1
A) on hand. Especially for the power supply, watch for its voltage and connector polarity.
In addition, attach spacers to the four corners of the board, so it will not pose any problem
wherever it is installed. See Sections 3.7 and 3.2 for RS-232C cable connection and the
power supply connector, respectively.
‚
Set the RS-232C baud rate using a DIP switch on the board. See Section 4.1 for switch
setting.
ƒ
Connect the board to the host via an RS-232C cable. Also connect an external power
supply to the JPOWER connector, then check that the POWER-LED on the board lights.
If the LED does not light, turn off the power immediately, and check the connection.
