3. Getting Started
3.1 Before you Begin...
The developer will find it useful to have some additional hardware not provided in the EDB9302A kit.
Items such as a USB keyboard and a set of powered speakers can make using the EDB9302A and the
software installed on the board more enjoyable.
Caution: Make sure you are in a static-free environment and are following proper
procedures for handling ESD-sensitive electronic equipment.
3.2 Attaching Cables
Before attaching cables to the board make sure you know where pin 1 for each of the connectors is
located. Most connectors are keyed. However, some connectors use 2 x n headers, allowing the cable to
be plugged in backwards. Prime examples of this are the ADC and JTAG connectors.
There is silkscreen on the PCB identifying each connector and its pin 1 location. Make sure to pay
attention to the markings on the PCB for the pin 1 location. The pin 1 identifier is marked by either a
number or a triangle.
3.3 Before Applying Power...
In order to use the EDB9302A the user must first connect the peripherals to the EDB9302A as described
in the following procedure.
1. Place the EDB9302A on a static-free surface.
2. Make sure power switch S2 is in the OFF position.
3. Connect the 12V power supply provided to the board at J10.
4. Connect null modem serial cable provided in the kit from DB9 connector J2 to a serial port on a PC
or notebook (if so equipped).
5. Launch a terminal program, such as minicom or HyperTerminal. Configure the PC com port for:
38400 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control for WinCE and 57600 baud for Linux.
6. Connect the board to a network that has a DHCP server or to a router with DHCP capabilty enabled.
7. Connect a USB keyboard.
8. Turn power switch S2 to the ON position and the board will boot and start to display information in
the HyperTerminal window.
NOTE: The WinCE 5.0 binary is not provided on the support web site. If you erase the image on the
board, you will have to download the BSP provided by Cirrus Logic and compile it using Platform
Builder.
Due to changes in distribution policy, the Microsoft trial CD/DVD that was formerly included in the
kit is no longer available. Please refer to the card in the kit that describes how to download the
Microsoft trial software from the Microsoft web site.

4.1 Circuit Operation
The major circuit operation for each page of the schematic will be discussed.
Note: Refer to http://arm.cirrus.com for the latest board schematics. Look under the download link at the top of the
page.
Page 1
Block diagram and revision history.
Page 2
There are two main clock inputs to the EP9302 device. One is the 14.7456 MHz crystal oscillator and the
other is the 32.768 kHz real time clock (RTC).
The 14.7456 MHz clock can be generated from a crystal circuit as shown in the schematics, or optionally
from a 14.7456 MHz oscillator. If a 14.7456 MHz oscillator is used, then only the XTALI pin is driven and
the drive level of the clock must be 3.3 V.
The RTC clock may be generated by the circuit shown in the schematics, or optionally an RTC oscillator.
Due to the cost of RTC oscillators, the circuit shown in the schematics is used. An external oscillator is
made by using an unbuffered '04 inverter. It is very important to use an unbuffered inverter in this
application. Using a buffered inverter may make the circuit oscillate in the ~MHz range or not start at all.
Refer to application note AN265.
The two LEDs connected to the EP9302 device are used to indicate processor health during boot and
general status of the board.
The reset output, RSTON (active-low signal) is buffered by U25. There is a resistor option for the RSTON
signal to be either driven by this buffer or bypassed. If the reset signal is not going to be buffered, U25
must be removed and R117 installed. By default, RSTON is buffered.
Page 3
This block shows the peripheral connections from the EP9302 processor. This page also shows the ADC
connector, JP7.
Page 4
Main items on this page are the USB 2.0 Full-speed Host, USB power, UART, and Commercial IR (CIR)
circuits.
The USB Host circuits are connected directly from the EP9302 to U3 and U4 and then on to the stacked
USB connector, J1. U3 and U4 provide termination for the USB signals and ESD protection. Power for
the USB Host ports comes from the +5V switching regulator and is protected with poly fuses rated for 0.5
A each.
The board has both UARTs brought out. The main UART interface, UART0, is connected to a standard
male DB9 connector and provides for full modem control. The other UART interface is connected to a
5x2 header. There is an option for installing a zero-ohm resistor if the developer needs to provide +5V
power to an external device. The pinout of the headers matches common IDC10-to-DB9 cables. One
such cable is included with the kit. All UART signals are level shifted from TTL to RS-232.
The CIR uses an enhanced GPIO (EGPIO) line to communicate to the EP9302 device.

This is the power section for the EP9302 device. The ADC and PLL supplies are filtered. There is no
reason to filter the 3.3 and the 1.8V power rails.
Page 6
The SDRAM interface is comprised of one 16-bit SDRAM device to form a 16-bit SDRAM bus. The
SDRAM is connected to /SDCS0 and is located at physical memory address 0xC000_0000.
The Flash interface is made from a single 16-bit device. It uses a "multi-cell" Flash device. The Flash
device is connected to /CS6 and is located at physical memory address 0x6000_0000. The reference
design uses only one Flash device. The Flash device installed is a 128 Mbit, 16 Mbyte, device.
The serial EEPROM is a 4 Mbit device and may be used for serial "SPI Boot" or for storing the Ethernet
MAC address. SPI Boot is not used as the default boot method but may be used by the developer if it fits
his/her application. Details about SPI Boot are in the EP9302 User's Guide. The serial EEPROM is
accessed only if the EGPIO7 line is configured to the proper level. The SPI™ frame signal and the
EGPIO7 "enable" signal are OR'ed to create the enable for the serial EEPROM device. EGPIO7 must be
low in order to communicate to the serial EEPROM. Other devices on the SPI bus must be enabled in a
similar manner but not enabled simultaneously.
Page 7
The JTAG interface is connected to a 2x10 header, JP3. This connector is wired for the Multi-ICE
debugger.
There are 10 signals that determine how the EP9302 will boot and operate. They are all shown on this
page except for BOOT1. BOOT1 is connected to GND. BOOT1 is used for factory testing only. The other
nine signals are either pulled up or down external to the EP9302 device. The boot configuration shown
sets the EP9302 device to perform an Internal Async boot from a 16-bit-wide memory.
The “Serial Boot” pushbutton, S1, is used to configure the board to perform a serial boot. A serial boot is
used to program the Flash device with the Cirrus Logic download utility. Instead of using jumpers, a
pushbutton is used. Simply hold the pushbutton down while pressing and releasing the reset pushbutton,
S3. Continue to hold S1 until the red LED turns off. Once the red LED is off, release S1.
The ISL1208 is connected to the EP9302 to provided an external, battery backed RTC clock. This device
has 2 bytes of battery backed SRAM. The battery is a common lithium coin cell and easily removable if
desired.
Page 8
The Micrel KS8721Bl PHY is used to provide the 10/100 Mbit Ethernet interface. The PHY is attached to
the EP9302 device MII interface. The PHY also connects to RJ45 connector, J3. The Ethernet connector
has integrated magnetics and status LEDs. The Micrel PHY requires external power filtering of the 2.5V
supply it produces.

The two connectors provide a daughter card interface for making custom circuits. J4 is the Memory
Expansion connector and J5 is the Peripheral Expansion connector.
The entire memory bus is connected to J5. It is recommended that the bus signals be buffered if adding
additional memory. However if a CPLD or FPGA is attached there is no reason to buffer. Use proper
engineering practices when using the high-speed memory bus with daughter cards.
The Peripheral Expansion bus has the signals for features not implemented on the EDB9302A board and
for commonly used signals.
Page 10
An external USB 2.0 High-speed Peripheral device is provided. The USB device allows a Host to see the
board as a Mass Storage device. The USB interface chip is connected to the lower 16-bits of the
memory bus.
Page 11
Audio is supported by a Cirrus Logic CS4271 device. Two-channel audio out and line-level audio in is
2
supported. The audio device communicates to the EP9302 through the I
S interface and audio clocks
are generated by the EP9302. The audio in is line level, it is not a microphone-level input. Like the serial
EEPROM, the CS4271 is controlled by the SPI frame signal and EGPIO6. EGPIO6 must be low in order
to communicate to the CS4271 device. As mentioned before, only one SPI™ device can be enabled at a
time.
Page 12
Power and reset circuits are shown on this page. Most of the changes made to this revision of the
EDB9302A board were made in this section. The most important change made is that the board is now
powered from a +12V power supply.
The board has two connectors for input power. J10 is the standard power connector and is where the
power supply provided in the kit attaches. However, a 3x1 header, J11 is also available to supply power
to the board.
The 3.3V power rail is generated from a 3A, adjustable, switching regulator, U27. The 5V power rail is
generated from an identical 3A switching regulator, U28. The 5V supply requires a diode, D7. The 3.3V
supply does not require this diode.
The 1.8V power rail is generated from an 800mA linear regulator. Both the 3.3V and 1.8V power rails are
are monitored by U22 and it will issue a reset if either supply falls below the threshold voltage.
The reset pushbutton can connect directly to the voltage monitor reset input or to a supplementary resetdetect circuit. Refer to AN258 for more information. This circuit is implemented by U24 and some passive
devices. In general, this circuit is not required with EP9302 Rev E2 devices and may be removed if
desired. It is installed by default. If removed, R109 needs to be installed if the use of the reset pushbutton
is desired.
