1Introduction
Purpose of this document is to quickly get you started with the EVI v3 product, after reading this
document, you will be able to:
•Power ON the EVI
•Connect to the SWUpdate interface and perform an update
•Connect to the EVI Command Line Interface (CLI)
•Connect to the EVI Graphical User Interface (GUI)
•Do basic configuration
A simple use case is provided here:
•A single EVI
•No additional CAN devices connected with EVI
•Network communication between a computer and the EVI using RJ45 cable direct access
Please note that it is recommended to read the EVI-Cx-Ax datasheet (revXX) first.
2Precautions
2.1 ESD
ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions are essential to prevent damaging the EVI. Here's a brief
summary of ESD precautions:
1. Grounding: Always ground yourself by touching a grounded metal object before handling the
EVI. Use an ESD wrist strap to maintain a common ground.
2. Antistatic Mats and Surfaces: Work on antistatic mats or surfaces to dissipate static charges.
These materials help prevent the buildup of static electricity.
3. ESD-Safe Clothing: Wear ESD-safe clothing, including smocks and shoes, to minimize the
generation and retention of static charges.
4. ESD-Safe Tools and Equipment: Use tools and equipment designed to be ESD-safe, including
grounded soldering irons and ESD-safe workbenches.
5. Humidity Control: Maintain appropriate humidity levels (typically 40-60%) in the workspace,
as higher humidity helps dissipate static charges.
6. ESD-Safe Packaging: Store and transport the EVI in ESD-safe packaging to prevent static
buildup or discharge.
7. ESD-Safe Workstations: Set up ESD-safe workstations with proper grounding to ensure a
controlled environment for handling electronic components.
By following these precautions, you can significantly reduce the risk of ESD-related damage to the
EVI.
