3. Getting Started
3.1 Before you Begin...
The developer will find it useful to have some additional hardware not provided in the EDB9307A kit.
Items such as a USB mouse, USB keyboard, VGA monitor and cable, and a set of powered speakers
can make using the EDB9307A 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 Touch Screen 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 EDB9307A the user must first connect the peripherals to the EDB9307A as described
in the following procedure.
1. Place the EDB9307A 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. Connect a VGA monitor to DB15 connector J6.
6. 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.
7. Connect the board to a network that has internet access (optional)
8. Connect a USB mouse and keyboard.

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.

Block diagram and revision history.
Page 2
There are two main clock inputs to the EP9307 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 EP9307 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.

This block shows the peripheral connections from the EP9307 processor.
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 EP9307 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. Note that
only two of the three USB ports are routed to USB connectors, the remaining USB port is routed to the
Peripheral Expansion header. 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 all three UARTs brought out. The main UART interface, UART0, is connected to a
standard male DB9 connector and provides for full modem control. The other two UART interfaces are
connected to 5x2 headers. There is an option for installing zero-ohm resistors if the developer needs to
provide +5V power to an external device. The pinout of the headers matches common IDC10-to-DB9
cables. Two such cables are 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 EP9307 device.

This is the power section for the EP9307 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 two 16-bit SDRAM devices to form a 32-bit SDRAM bus. The
SDRAM is connected to /SDCS0 and is located at physical memory address 0xC000_0000. Single 32bit SDRAM devices may be used as well.
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. However, the EP9307 can be designed with a 32-bit Flash interface
as well. 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 EP9307 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.
Note: EGPIO7 should be pulled low instead of pulled high. If SPI Boot is desired, remove R201 and pull down
EGPIO7.
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 EP9307 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 EP9307 device. The boot configuration shown
sets the EP9307 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 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 EDB9307A board and
for commonly used signals.

Two video interfaces are provided. The main video interface is VGA. An LCD interface is also provided
however there is no LCD screen included with the development kit. The LCD interface is pin compatible
with previous Cirrus Logic ARM9 development boards. A 4-wire touch screen interface is also included
and is pin compatible with previous Cirrus Logic ARM9 development boards.

Audio is supported by a Cirrus Logic CS4271 device. Two-channel audio out and line-level audio in is
supported. The audio device communicates to the EP9307 through the I
are generated by the EP9307. 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.

Power and reset circuits are shown on this page. Most of the changes made to this revision of the
EDB9307A board were made in this section. The most important change made is that the board is now
powered from a +12V power supply instead of the former +5V 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 EP9307 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.

3. Redboot.bin has been programmed into Flash memory. Go to HyperTerminal and re-establish
serial communication to the board by pressing the Call button.
4. Press and release pushbutton S3, /POR. The board will reboot and eventually display
information in the HyperTerminal window.
Note: The initial error about configuration checksum error is expected for a brand new board or a board where the Flash device
has been completely erased. This happens because the Flash memory has not been initialized for redboot yet.
Note: Linux is case sensitive, pay close attention to the commands that follow.
Note: Steps 5-9 are for new boards only or when putting Linux on the board for the first time or for boards where the Flash device
has been completely erased. If you have already configured the board, proceed to step 10.
5. Initialize Flash memory by typing "fis init -f" at the RedBoot> prompt.
6. The next step is to configure the board so it can communicate via Ethernet. Type "fconfig" in the
HyperTerminal window and set all parameters like the picture below.

RedBoot> prompt returns.
12. Next type: fis create -b 0xa00000 -l 0xa00000 ramdisk
13. This command will program the ramdisk.gz file into a Flash partition called ramdisk. Wait until the
RedBoot> prompt returns.
14. Execute the following command: load -v -r -b 0x80000 zImage
15. You will see a spinning character in the bottom left hand side of the window. Wait until the
RedBoot> prompt returns.
16. Next type: fis create -b 0x80000 -l 0x140000 zImage
17. This command will program the zImage file into a Flash partition called zImage. Wait until the
RedBoot> prompt returns.
18. The software has now been programmed into Flash.
Note: The image sizes may increase as new features are added. In that case, some of the values in the load and fis create
commands may change. The size can be determined from the reported status after the load. Simply subtract the end
address from the start address. It is acceptable to make the partition larger than the exact image file size.
