Typical Installation - Connect Tech Quark NGX004 User Manual

TYPICAL INSTALLATION

1. Ensure all external system power supplies are off and disconnected.
2. Install the NVIDIA® Jetson Nano™ / NVIDIA® Jetson Xavier™ NX Module into the DDR4 260 Pin
SODIMM Connector (P1).
Be sure to follow the manufacturer's directions for proper installation of mounting hardware,
heatsink / heat-spreader, and any other applicable requirements from the manufacturer.
3. Install the necessary cables for your application. At a minimum these would include:
1. Power cable to the input power connector
2. Connect a 3.3V TTL FTDI Serial cable to UART2 pins on Pin 29 and Pin 31 of the I/O
Header (P7)
3. Keyboard and Mouse via USB (a hub may be required for multiple devices)
4. MIPI Camera(s)
5. Using CBG117, connect the system to network
4. Connect the Power Cable of the +5V Power Supply into the Power header (P5)
Plug the AC cable on the +5V Power Supply into the wall. Power issues with the Quark carrier
occur for two main reasons: power consumption on boot, and ripple on 5V input. It is
important to choose a power supply with a good transient response; otherwise, the Quark
carrier will suffer issues in its bootup sequencing. As for power consumption, please refer to
our power consumption section in other to aid in your power supply selection.
5. Access the debug UART port using a standard 3.3V TTL FTDI cable to any computer over USB.
Another TTL UART interface is required to use the debug port. The default serial settings are
115200 8N1 (standard settings) but hardware flow control has to be turned off.
If using minicom in Linux based systems, serial into the system through disabling the hardware
flow control:
1. Press CTRL+A
2. Press o
3. Go to Serial Port Setup
4. Press F (To change hardware flow control to off)
5. (optional) save as default in previous menu
If using putty in Windows based systems, in the left menu go to serial>flow control>None.
DO NOT power up your system by plugging in live power.
