Home Energy Gateway
Reference Platform
Quick Start Guide

The HEG board is designed to offer a highly
integrated and flexible reference platform to
jump start development time in the areas of
demand response, smart management, and
energy consumption monitoring.
The board support packages (BSPs),
connectivity drivers, application demos
and user interfaces are delivered through
the Adeneo Embedded website under the
form of source code or binaries, with HEG
schematics and Gerber files.
The board is pre-flashed with either Linux
®
2.6 (P/N Adeneo HEG-IMX28KIT-LNX) or
Windows
®
Embedded Compact 7 (P/N
Adeneo HEG-IMX28KIT-WCE) OS images.
The following features are available in the
HEG reference platform:
• ApplicationProcessor:454MHz
ARM926EJ™ i.MX283

Quick Start Guide for HEG Reference Platform
Getting Started
This section describes how to use the HEG reference platform and the
components in the package. This section also describes the environment
to develop applications using the HEG reference platform.
Unpacking the Kit
The HEG Reference Platform is
shippedwiththeitemslistedintable1.
Ensure the items listed in this table are
included in the contents of your HEG
kit. Remove the HEG board from the
anti-static bag and perform a visual
inspection.
Note: The LCD display daughter card is an optional
add-on module and can be ordered separately from
freescale.com Part number: MCIMX28LCD
Web-Based Contents
Refer to the Adeneo Embedded
website:
adeneo-embedded.com/heg for the
latest HEG documents and software.

Optional LCD Board Assembly
Connecting the LCD board to the HEG reference platform.
NOTE:
The4.3¨widescreenvideographicsarray(WVGA)LCD
board is an optional card for the HEG reference platform
and is sold separately at freescale.com
P/N: MCIMX28LCD
NOTE:
To connect the Matrix LCD, please refer to the HEG
hardware user’s guide.
The HEG board is
connected to the add-on
LCDboardusing120-pin
surface mount connectors.
The connectors are
keyed to avoid incorrect
connection. Therefore,
there is only one way to
connect the boards. The
LCD board is connected
totheJ13connector.This
J13connectorislocated
on the top of the HEG
board as shown in the
following picture.
