Board settings

I2C one board:

  • Transfer data from SLAVE_BOARD to MASTER_BOARD of I2C interface, I2C3 pins of SLAVE_BOARD are connected with I2C3 pins of MASTER_BOARD

SLAVE_BOARD        CONNECTS TO          MASTER_BOARD
Pin Name   Board Location     Pin Name   Board Location
I2C3_SCL       J1003-5         I2C3_SCL      J1003-5 
I2C3_SDA       J1003-3         I2C3_SDA      J1003-3
GND            J1003-9         GND           J1003-9

Prepare the Demo

  1. Connect 12V power supply and J-Link Debug Probe to the board, switch SW101 to power on the board

  2. Connect a USB cable between the host PC and the J901 USB port on the target board.

  3. Open a serial terminal with the following settings:

    • 115200 baud rate

    • 8 data bits

    • No parity

    • One stop bit

    • No flow control

  4. Download the program to the target board.

  5. Either press the reset button on your board or launch the debugger in your IDE to begin running the demo.
