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.

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
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.

Attach JTAG
(optional)
7
CONTINUED
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.
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.

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.
10
CONTINUED
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.
