Connect Hardware
Plug the TMD3719 Daughterboard into the Controller board (Figure 1). Always
use ESD procedures when handling the EVM.
Using the enclosed USB cable, plug the mini-B connector into the EVM module.
Using the other end of the cable, plug the USB A-connector into a USB port on
the computer.
When the USB cable is connected, the green LED should flash momentarily on
power up to indicate that power is being received via the USB interface, and
the controller board processor is running. If the
green LED does not flash, check the USB cable connections; unplug the USB
cable and try again. If the green LED still does not flash, check the PC for
USB error messages.
