Ensure that the mother board is powered down before connecting the daughter board. Take care when connecting and disconnecting the two boards to avoid damaging the headers on each of the boards. The mini USB connection (P6) on the ADuCM3029 mother board is the main USB communication port connection. This port has the following functions: ADF7030-1 DAUGHTER BOARD J4 HEADER * * Provides the main COM port for the ADF7030-1 evaluation software. Is used for uploading the firmware image code to the ADuCM3029. Provides power to the entire ADuCM3029 mother board. POWER OPTIONS Power from USB The USB is the default option for providing power to the ADuCM3029 mother board and the ADF7030-1 daughter board. 14688-003 In addition to the main P1, P2, and P3 connection header, the ADF7030-1 daughter board also provides a secondary header that exposes the interface connections between the host processor (ADuCM3029) and the ADF7030-1, as well as VDD and GND. This header provides a useful debug header and also allows the ADF7030-1 daughter board to connect to other host processor mother boards. If using this header as the main communication interface to the ADF7030-1 (instead of using P1, P2, and P3), populate C3 on the ADF7030-1 daughter board with a 10 F capacitor. * Figure 3.

Plug the USB cable into the mini USB port (P6) on the ADuCM3029 mother board, and plug the other end of the cable into the PC on which the software is installed. Start the ADF7xxx EZ-KIT Design Suite software. From the Start menu, go to All Programs, Analog Devices, ADF7xxx EZ-KIT Design Suite, and click ADF7xxx EZ-KIT Design Suite. The ADF7xxx EZ-KIT Design Suite start screen appears when the program is opened. From the main screen, the user can select the relevant device to evaluate. In this case, select the ADF7030-1. After selecting which device to connect with, a new screen appears with a list of boards to connect with, depending on the number of ADuCM3029 mother boards plugged into the PC. Each of the boards connected to the PC has a board number displayed on the LCD screen. Select one of the boards from the list to connect to, and then click OK to begin evaluation in the ADF7030-1 Design Center. EMBEDDED DEVELOPMENT The ADuCM302x EZ-KIT board support package (BSP) provides software and documentation in support of the ADuCM3029 mother board. It is available for download from www.analog.com/ADuCM3029EZKIT. The ADuCM3029 mother board works with the IAR Embedded Workbench software development tools. For more details on IAR, see the IAR website. The BSP provides comprehensive software support for the ADuCM3029 mother board, which includes drivers and services that demonstrate the on-chip drivers and services. The device driver and services documentation is part of the BSP.
