STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1 Insert SD Card
Insert the supplied SD card into the SD card socket J14 on the CPU card. Note: The SD card will be included if ready at date your kit was shipped. If there is no SD card, please visit the www.nxp.com/SABREAI to download software.
2 Set Up Boot Switches
Verify that the switches are set to boot from SD card per tables 3 and 4. Ensure jumpers are correct per table 6.
3 Connect RS-232 Cable
Connect a user-supplied RS-232 cable to CPU card debug port J18. 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
4 Connect HDMI Monitor
After boot-up, the SD card outputs the OS desktop through the HDMI port.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED
5 Connect an LVDS LCD (optional)
Connect a display to CPU card connector J13. Part number MCIMX-LVDS1 is a compatible display with touch panel.
6 Attach JTAG (optional)
Connect the ribbon cable to both the JTAG adapter card and CPU card connector J17. (The connectors have key slots to ensure proper orientation.) Then, plug in the user-supplied cable to the JTAG interface while supporting the adapter.
7 Connect USB OTG (optional)
Connect the cable from the kit to micro USB connector J10 on the CPU card.
Note: To avoid damage, the micro USB plug must be carefully inserted upside down.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED
8 Connect Power Supply
Setup A—CPU Card Mated with Base Board
First, plug in the 12 V DC supply to base board power jack J1, followed by plugging in the 120/240 V AC cord to a wall outlet. Four green LEDs and one yellow LED on the CPU card plus two red LEDS on the base board should illuminate when the system powers up properly. An additional supply is not needed for the CPU card. Do not plug in a supply to CPU card J8.
Important: To ensure proper boot up and to minimize stress to the system, do not hot-plug a live 12 V DC supply to J1.
Tip: Use a power strip with a switch for convenient power on/off control. To re-boot, press CPU card reset button SW1.
Setup B—CPU Card Stand-Alone
First, plug in a user-supplied 5 V DC supply to the CPU card power jack J8, followed by plugging in the 120/240 V AC cord to a wall outlet. A 5 A supply is recommended. Four green LEDs and one yellow LED should illuminate when the system powers up properly.
Important: To ensure proper boot up and to minimize stress to the system, do not hot plug a live 5 V DC supply to J8.
Tip: Use a power strip with a switch for convenient power on/off control. To re-boot, press CPU card reset button SW1.

ENET DAUGHTER CARD OPTIONS
In addition to the Atheros daughter card, two Broadcom daughter cards are available.
There is one ENET board-to-board connector on the SABREAI CPU Card. Therefore, the Atheros ENET daughter card supplied with the CPU card must be removed to install the optional ENET cards. The figures show screw insertion points on the CPU card.
The two 100 Mb/s cards are shipped with FlexRay™ cables.
