Connector Details
Power (J10, J12 and J13)
The Topaz Development Kit can be powered by:
- J10 - USB Mini-AB connector
- J12 – 2.1mm Barrel connector (centre positive)
- J13 – 0.1" pitch header (+5V and 0V).
Not that powering the board via USB may not be sufficient for large LCDs (greater than 4.3") or if you have devices attached to the expansion connectors or USB host port.
Note that J13 is not fitted to the board. This allows a polarized connector of your choice to be used.
RS232 Serial (J4)
This is a male DB9 connector. Signals are shown in the following table:
Pin | Signal |
|---|---|
1 | N/C |
2 | RXD |
3 | TXD |
4 | N/C |
5 | 0V |
6 | N/C |
7 | RTS |
8 | CTS |
9 | N/C |
RJ - 45 Ethernet
This is configured as a standard 100Mbps connection. Connect using standard Ethernet twisted-pair cabling. A crossover cable will be required if you are connecting directly to your PC.
SD Card (J7)
The SD card connector is connected to the SD1 controller of the i.MX25. It supports SD memory and SDIO cards. The signals are connected as show below.
