4. ML4064-MCB-112 Hardware

The subsequent sections cover the essential parts in the hardware, for board operation and testing.

4.1 Power-Up
To power up the ML4064-MCB-112 host, steps are as follow: · The host TOP is where the cage is mounted · Two options are available to power up the board:  Using the four pins power connector (J2) that should be connected to 5V AND 3.3V taking into account pins distribution, where jumper U2 must be populated  Using the banana plug (U8) that should be connected to 3.3V where jumper U1 must be populated · Connect the host to your PC using a Type-B mini to Type-A USB cable.

4.2 Operating Conditions
According to the powering method described in section 3.1, the input voltage supply must follow the table below.

4.3 LED Indicators
The ML4064-MCB-112 includes on-board LEDs, for quick debugging and monitoring purposes. LEDs are summarized below:
· LED D11 indicates whether a USB cable is plugged or not. · LEDs D13 and D12, colored green and red, respectively, are used for diagnostic purposes:
 If D13 is on: USB is locked and device is recognized by the USB driver  If D12 is on: USB is not connected or USB driver is not found  If both are off: board is not powered correctly or firmware is corrupted  If both are blinking: the board is in Bootloader mode

4.4 Low Speed Signals 4.4.1 External I2C The I2C bus can be accessed externally using U156 pins. In this case a jumper should be placed on pin header P16 (HW_I2C) shown in the image below.
Figure 1: External I2C
4.4.2 External HW Control Also Low Speed Signals are controllable using an external source, this can be done through J4 pin header. In this case a jumper should be placed on pin header J3 (HW_CTRL) shown in the image below.
