2 Getting started
2.1 Prerequisites
Before you power up your EDB boards for the first time you need the following：
 Edge Development Board(EDB)
 A 96Boards compliant power supply
2.2 Starting the board for the first time
To start the bard, follow these steps:
 Step1. Make sure that the boot switches SW1 is configured as “110”(boot from USB)
 Step2. Connector USB cable to UART port (Micro USB)
 Step3. Connector power adaptor to DC JACK
Once the board power up, the boot information will be printed on the UART terminal.
Please note that the first boot will take few minutes due to intializaiton.

3.3 POWER on button /reset button
The power button SW2 can be used to power ciycle the board.
The reset button SW3 can be used to reset the system
3.4 DC in jack
DC power is provided via the DC JACK of J13. This is a connector with a center pin diameter of
1.65mm conffigured with positive plolarity. An 12V power supply at a minimum of 2A rateing can be
used to provide sufficient board power for on system requirements as well as external devices.
Additional current rating may be required for mezzanine boards or modules. DC power can also be
supplied via the SYS_DCIN pins on the low speed expansion of J8.
3.5 Low speed expansion connector
The EDB features one expansion connector. This connector is a low-profile 40 pin femal 2mm
receptacle(20*2) of a specified height of 4.5mm height. The low speed expansion brings out 1.8V
level SOC signals such as UART and I2C and I2S, and GPIO, power supply of 1.8V and Ground. The
complete list of signals is shown as below:

3.6 Antenna
The EDB is equipped with a realtek RT8821 WLAN basedband processor and RF transceiver which
supports IEEE802.11a, 802.11b,802.11g, 802.11n and 802.11ac WIFI and bluetooth.
A PCB chip sntenna is available on board by default.
3.7 USB interfaces
There are total 4 USB ports on the EDB board. Three type A USB3.0 host ports at J3 and J4 and J5,
one micro USB slave port at J9 as UART debug port.
Port3 of J5 can be used as OTG port, which is directly connected to BM1880 USB2.0 port.
