2.2 Finding kit resources and information on the NXP website

NXP Semiconductors provides online resources for this evaluation board and supported devices on http://www.nxp.com. The information page for the SEN-SPI-BOX evaluation board is at http://nxp.com/SEN-SPI-BOX. The information page provides overview information, documentation, software and tools, parametrics, ordering information and a Getting Started tab. The Getting Started tab provides quick-reference information applicable to using the SEN-SPI-BOX evaluation board, including the downloadable assets referenced in this document.

3 Hardware description

The NXP SEN-SPI-BOX kit provides a full-solution of built-in functionalities to communicate with any SPI/I²C sensor. The kit graphs real-time data, executes custom scripts and verifies sensor status. The board is a generic SPI/I²C evaluation board, compatible with some of the NXP sensor families such as FXLS9xxxx automotive digital accelerometers. The list of compatible sensors is non-exhaustive and may evolve in the future.
Figure 3 shows how to couple the SEN-SPI-BOX with a SEN-GEN6-SKT board for the
FXLS9xxxx evaluation.

4 Setting up the FFV Tool kit

4.1 Software installation

4.1.1 Download software

Go to http://www.nxp.com/SEN-SPI-BOX to download the software.

4.1.2 System requirements

The computer system hosting the Sensor FFV Tool software and SEN-SPI-BOX hardware must meet the following requirements:
• Windows 10 (x86, x64). Although Windows Vista, 7 are anticipated to work as well, these systems have not been tested and are not supported.
• For each SEN-SPI-BOX, a USB (V3.0) port must be available on the host PC. NXP anticipates the SEN-SPI-BOX will work with USB V1.1 or V2.0 ports. However, NXP has not tested the SEN-SPI-BOX with USB V1.1 or V2.0 ports.
• The screen size shall be at least 1024 x 768 pixels. NXP does not recommend using screens with resolution smaller than 1024 x 768 pixels. Although the software runs on screens with lower resolution, the GUI and forms are less convenient to use.
• Software to display Adobe PDF documents is required to read the documentation and the data sheets.
