3 QuickStart
3.1 Connecting the SOM-LV to the Baseboard
The SOM-LV connects to the baseboard via two BTB socket connectors.
1. Align the SOM-LV over the two connectors farthest in from the edge of the board.
See Figure 3.1. (There is an outline of the SOM-LV on the baseboard silkscreen to
show proper placement.)
2. Press the SOM-LV straight down, applying even pressure, onto the two baseboard
socket connectors. See Figure 3.2.
3. Verify that the socket connectors on the SOM-LV and baseboard have mated
correctly. To remove the SOM-LV, pull up on the board above the socket
connectors. Attempt to pull straight up and refrain from flexing the printed circuit
board (PCB) to avoid damaging the SOM-LV.
Figure 3.1 – Aligning the SOM-LV over the Baseboard

ZOOM i.MX LITEKIT
QuickStart Guide 11
Figure 3.2 – Connecting the SOM-LV to the Baseboard
3.2 Connecting the Expansion Breakout Board to the Baseboard
Use of the expansion header breakout board is required to access all of the SOM-LV’s
signals. The expansion header breakout board connects to the baseboard via two BTB
connectors.
1. Align the breakout board over the two BTB connectors closest to the baseboard
edge. See Figure 3.3. (There is an outline on the baseboard silkscreen that
specifies the expansion breakout board connectors). When aligned correctly, the
majority of the expansion breakout board will overhang the side of the baseboard.
2. Press the breakout board straight down, applying even pressure, onto the two
baseboard socket connectors. See Figure 3.4.
3. Verify that the socket connectors on the breakout board and baseboard have
mated correctly. To remove the breakout board, pull up on the board above the
socket connectors. Attempt to pull straight up and refrain from flexing the PCB to
avoid damaging the breakout board.

3.3 Connecting the Baseboard to your PC
1. Connect the null-modem serial cable (supplied in the kit) to the serial port
connector on the baseboard and to a COM port on the host PC. See Figure 3.5.
Note: If your computer does not contain a serial port, you can use the USB B
device on the baseboard to connect to the USB port on your computer. See Figure
3.5. The application baseboard is equipped with an FTDI virtual COM port (VCP)
chip that causes the USB device to appear to your computer as an additional COM
port. Settings for the terminal emulation program will remain the same; however, a
driver must be installed on your computer and a USB A-to-B cable must be
purchased separately for proper operation. A link to the driver and instructions for
using the FT232R VCP chip can be found at
http://www.logicpd.com/auth/downloads/i.MX LITEKIT/.
2. Confirm baseboard JTAG jumpers are set for normal operation with your specific
SOM-LV, as shown in Figure 3.6.
Note: For proper JTAG operation, the jumpers should remain in the normal
operation position.
3. Connect the regulated 5 V power supply to the appropriate power adapter. Plug
the power adapter into an electrical outlet and the 5 V line output connector into
the power connector on the baseboard.
4. Press the power on button to boot the LITEKIT. See Figure 3.5.

4.1 Terminal Emulation Installation
The Zoom i.MX LITEKIT is designed to communicate with terminal emulation programs using
the included null-modem serial cable and the following settings: 115200 baud, 8-data-bits,
no-parity, 1-stop-bit, and no-flow-control. The terminal emulation program must support
binary transfers in order to download software to the kit.
Although Logic Product Development does not support any particular terminal emulation
program, we suggest using Tera Term Pro for Windows® 2000 or Windows XP. Tera Term Pro
is provided on the CD-ROM or can be downloaded for free from Logic’s website:
https://www.logicpd.com/auth/. Tera Term Pro is not available for Linux users. Logic Product
Development does not guarantee or support any terminal emulation programs.
Once the terminal emulation program has been installed, open a new serial port connection
using the COM port where the null-modem serial cable is connected to the host PC. Set the
‘baud-rate’ to 115200, ‘data’ to 8-bit, ‘parity’ to none, ‘stop’ to 1-bit, and ‘flow control’ to
none. (Hint: In Tera Term, you can save these serial port settings by selecting ‘Setup -> Save
setup...’ from the file menu. After saving, these serial port settings will be in place every time
you launch the Tera Term application.)

4.2 Power-up the LITEKIT
The Zoom i.MX LITEKIT is shipped with the Logic bootloader installed in resident flash.
LogicLoader provides the capability for loading operating systems and applications. In
addition, it provides a full suite of commands for interfacing to the SOM-LV. These commands
load operating systems, configure hardware platforms, bring up hardware, customize
applications, perform tests, and manage in-field devices.
4.2.1LogicLoader (Bootloader/Monitor) Power-up
The SOM-LV is shipped with a version of LogicLoader (bootloader/monitor) programmed into
the boot flash device at an offset of 0xA000_0000.
Accessing LogicLoader
Interface to LogicLoader via a terminal emulation program connected via a null-modem serial
cable to the “Terminal” port of the SOM-LV (debug serial port on the baseboard). Use the
following default terminal settings: 115200 baud, 8-data-bits, 1-stop-bit, no-parity, and
no-flow-control.
1. Start a terminal program on the host PC (e.g., Tera Term, HyperTerminal).
2. Connect a serial cable to the host PC and to the serial port on the baseboard.
3. Connect power supply to the LITEKIT.
4. Press the power on button (see Figure 2.2 for button location).
5. In the terminal program you should see a LogicLoader screen similar to that below.

4.3 Sample Application
The Zoom i.MX LITEKIT comes with a sample application that can be downloaded from the
Logic website: https://www.logicpd.com/auth/. For instructions, see the Zoom i.MX LITEKIT
User’s Manual and the readme file that accompanies the downloaded sample application.
4.4 Board Support Packages (BSPs)
Logic offers various product-ready Board Support Packages (BSPs) in binary format for Zoom
Development Kits.
Logic provides sample downloadable evaluation Windows Embedded CE images (NK.bins)
to evaluate the Windows Embedded CE operating system on Logic's line of Development
Kits. These sample images are provided as part of the Microsoft® Windows CE Hardware
Kitting Program. Logic packages a 120-day evaluation version of Windows Embedded CE
Platform Builder in the Development Kit and posts downloadable sample images on the Logic
website. These images are licensed for evaluation purposes only and are not intended for
commercial use. Please reference Application Note 296 entitled When to Use an NK.bin for
information about the capabilities of the binary OS images.
If your development effort requires the use of a BSP, Logic provides a binary BSP as a
downloadable item from the website. In order to obtain Logic’s Windows Embedded CE BSP,
please read and sign the Windows CE BSP License Agreement located at:
http://www.logicpd.com/downloads/406/.
