Power Up the Board

Unpack the board taking care to avoid electrostatic discharge. Unpack the power supply, select the right
power plug adapter corresponding to that of your country, and insert it in the power supply.
Connect the power supply DC connector to the board and plug the power supply to an AC power plug.
The board LCD should light up and display a welcome page. Then, click or touch icons displayed on the
screen and enjoy the demo.
3.2

Battery

The SAM9G45-EKES ships with a 3V coin battery.
This battery is not required for the board to start up.
The coin battery is provided for user convenience in case the user would like to exercise the date and
time backup function of the SAM9G45 series devices when the board is switched off.
3.3

DevStart

The on-board NAND Flash contains a "SAM9G45-EKES DevStart".
It is stored in the "SAM9G45-EKES DevStart" folder on the USB Flash disk available when the
SAM9G45-EKES is connected to a host computer.
Click the file "welcome.html" in this folder to launch SAM9G45-EKES DevStart.
SAM9G45-EKES DevStart guides you through installation processes of IAR™ EWARM, Keil MDK and
GNU toolkits. Then, it gives you step-by-step instructions on how to rebuild a single example project and
how to program it into the SAM9G45-EKES. Optionally, if you have a SAM-ICE™, instructions are also
given about how to debug the code.
We recommend that you backup the "SAM9G45-EKES DevStart" folder on your computer before
launching it.
