2.1 Overview
The Intel R1000 Development Platform package, when used in conjunction with a host
platform, provides the components required to implement and evaluate the Intel
R1000 and Intel R1000 Firmware as used in an RFID reader environment.
2.2 Intel® R1000 Development Platform Package
The Intel R1000 Development Platform package includes the items listed below. The
user should first verify that all components are present, if a component is missing
please contact you Intel representative.
1. Intel R1000 Development Platform base board RFID radio module housed in
chassis.
2. Intel R1000 Development Platform PA module housed in chassis and pre-
connected to Intel R1000 Development Platform base board.

Figure 1 shows the base board and PA module pre-installed in the chassis. The
chassis cover has been removed for the purposes of clarity. In general the
chassis cover does not need to be removed.
Figure 2 shows the underside of the Intel R1000 Development Platform, the
red arrow points to which operating mode the development kit comes with as
well as the default loaded firmware revision.

2. Hard copy of this Quick Start Guide
Note: In order to use the Intel R1000 Evaluation Platform the users must supply the
following components:
1. A Host platform. For the remainder of this document the host platform is
assumed to be an IA-32 (aka. Pentium) based PC running Windows XP (SP1 or
later). However other host platforms are possible, please see Intel R1000
Software Development Kit Getting Started Guide for full details.
2. RFID ready antenna cables.
3. RFID ready antennas.
4. One or more 18000-6C Tags.
2.3 Reading Tags with the Intel R1000 Development
Platform
Note: The Intel R1000 Development Platform will always initialize in FCC mode, irrespective
of whether the platform hardware is targeted for FCC or ETSI compliant regions. Please
consult with your regulatory advisor to ensure you have the correct licences in place to
broadcast in the FCC or ETSI spectrum. In order to configure Intel R1000 Development
Platform to ETSI mode please consult Intel RFID Tracer User Guide.
Note: All computer boards are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Handle all static-sensitive
boards and components at a static-safe work area, and observe anti-static precautions at all
times.
Note: The Intel R1000 Development Platform is shipped with the Intel R1000 Firmware in
persistent storage on the platform. No loading of the firmware is required in order to get the
platform to read tags.
Note: The Intel R1000 Development Platform default register setting values allow tags to be
read out of the box.
Note: Do not apply power to the system until the TX antenna ports have been terminated
either by an antenna or a termination connector.
