Step-by-Step Installation Instructions
This section describes how to use EVBVF522R3 and associated components.
Caution
Daughtercards are usually not hotswappable; ensure that the board is
powered OFF prior to fitting or removing a
daughtercard.

Configure the
Board
2.1 Insert SD Card
Insert the supplied SD card into the SD
card socket of EVB-VF522R3.
2.2 Set Up Boot Switches
Verify that the switches are set to boot
from the SD card per the Configuration
Settings mentioned on pages 8-10.
2.3 Optional: Connect Graphical Device
Attach a compatible Graphical Device:
• An LCD daughtercard, or
• An HDMI daughtercard (and connect it
to an HDMI monitor)
After boot-up, the kit SD card software
outputs the OS desktop through the DCU
daughtercard connector of EVB-VF522R3.

Step-by-Step Installation Instructions
2.4 Connect RS232 Cable
Connect the RS232 cable to the serial
debug port of EVB-VF522R3. Support the
connector with one hand while plugging in
the cable to minimize flexing the board.
Serial port configuration:
• 115.2 kbaud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No parity
• No flow control.
2.5 Optional: Plug RF Tuner In
Plug the RF tuner (with its antenna plugged
in) into the dedicated EVB-VF522R3
on-board connector.
2.6 Connect Power Supply
Plug in the provided 12 V DC supply into
the power jack of EVB-VF522R3, followed
by plugging the AC cord into a wall outlet.
The power-indication LEDs of EVBVF522R3 illuminate when the system
powers up properly.
2.7 Use RF Tuner
Use the RF tuner with the RS232 user
interface, as well as the two incremental
encoders and four station-preset buttons.
2.8 Play Audio Files
• Plug a USB Flash drive with audio files
into the “Type A Host” USB connector.
• Plug headphones or active speakers into
the audio output (see Figure 1).
• Select and play an audio file using either
a touchscreen of the optional LCD with
incremental encoders, or the RS232
user interface.
