5.4.1. HPS Out of Box Experience (OOBE) Daughter Card

  1. Plug HPS OOBE daughter card in J4.
  2. To test HPS Ethernet capability, connect OOBE's RJ45 port J3 to internet.
  3. To test HPS USB 2.0 capability, connect OOBE's J4 port to USB cable.
  4. To debug HPS from UART terminal applications, use USB cable to connect to OOBE's J7.
  5. OOBE's micro SD card is pre-programmed with GSRD and OS.
  6. General I/O access is provided by push buttons and LED indicators.
