2. Development Kit Using an xPico sample and the xPico Development Kit, you can get familiar with the product and understand how to integrate the xPico into a given product design. Contents of the Kit The xPico Development Kit contains the following items: ♦ xPico Module ♦ xPico Evaluation Board ♦ 5V Wall Adaptor ♦ xPico Mounting Quick Clip ♦ RS-232 Cable, DB9F/F, Null Modem ♦ CAT5 Ethernet Cable ♦ 40-pin Connector Sample Evaluation Board Description The xPico evaluation board provides a test platform for the Lantronix xPico device server products. The evaluation board uses either 5V power from a USB device port connector or power supplied to the Ethernet connector via PoE. The Development Kit includes a 5V wall adapter with a USB plug to allow powering the evaluation board from a standard power strip. The evaluation board includes all necessary regulators to power the 3.3V xPico module. The evaluation board has the following features: ♦ Two DB9 serial port connectors with one driven by a multi-protocol RS232, RS422, RS485 transceiver at rates up to 1Mbps. The second DB9 is driven by an RS232 transceiver. Serial port modes are configured by on-board jumpers. ♦ One RJ45 10/100 Ethernet port with an integrated PoE regulator to allow powering from standard PoE PSE. ♦ One Mini-Type B USB device port connector for 5V input power. This port also has an integrated USB-to-serial converter. The USB-to-serial converter can be connected to the xPico serial port via a board jumper setting. ♦ LEDs for the xPico Ethernet and System status outputs along with two additional LEDs that can be driven via jumper wire. ♦ Access to all logic level IO signals on the xPico via header pins for measurements and connections to other places. The figure below shows the xPico evaluation board and highlights all of the various connectors and configuration jumpers. The following table lists each of the connectors and jumper headers along with their function. Further description and pin assignments are included in subsequent sections. xPico Development Kit User Guide 6
