• Expansion Connectors • LCD Interface with Touch Screen Support Note: The EDB9315A kit does not include a LCD screen. The LCD interface is pin-compatible with previous Cirrus Logic development boards. Not all features of the EP9315 are on the base board. Two high-density connectors have been provided to allow for daughter card expansion.
PCB for the pin 1 location. The pin 1 identifier is marked by either a number or a triangle. 3.3 Before Applying Power... In order to use the EDB9315A the user must first connect the peripherals to the EDB9315A as described in the following procedure. 1. Place the EDB9315A on a static free surface.

NOTE: The WinCE 5.0 binary is not provided on the support web site. If you erase the image on the board, you will have to download the BSP provided by Cirrus Logic and compile it using Platform Builder. Due to changes in distribution policy, the Microsoft trial CD/DVD that was formerly included in the kit is no longer available.
Technical Reference Manual 4. EDB9315A Circuit Description This chapter makes reference to the schematics in Appendix A and discusses the main circuit functionality of each schematic page. A detailed block diagram of the EDB9315A Engineering Development Board is shown below. JTAG...
The “Serial Boot” pushbutton, S2, is used to configure the board to perform a serial boot. A serial boot is used to program the Flash device with the Cirrus Logic download utility. Instead of using jumpers, a pushbutton is used. Simply hold the pushbutton down while pressing and releasing the reset pushbutton, S3.
However if a CPLD or FPGA is attached there is no reason to buffer. Use proper engineering practices when using the high-speed memory bus with daughter cards. The Peripheral Expansion bus has the signals for features not implemented on the EDB9315A board and for commonly used signals.
Power and reset circuits are shown on this page. Most of the changes made to this revision of the EDB9315A board were made in this section. The most important change made is that the board is now powered from a +12V power supply instead of the former +5V supply.
WinCE 5.0 Flash image with Linux or some other software, and then later desires to put the WinCE 5.0 image back into Flash, they must obtain the WinCE 5.0 BSP from their Cirrus Logic FAE and build the image themselves using the trial version of Platform Builder™ or with a version of Platform Builder they have purchased.
EDB9315A Technical Reference Manual 6. Developer’s User Forum Many references have been made to the Cirrus Logic Developers User's Forum in this document. The Cirrus Logic Developers User's Forum is a company-sponsored site and moderated by Cirrus Logic ® employees. However, it is not the technical help line for the Cirrus Logic ARM product line.
• Linux 2.6 • Board utilities • Tools Contact a Cirrus Logic FAE for information regarding the following. • WinCE 5.0 BSP The documents listed above are updated periodically and may be more up to date than the information in this document.
EDB9315A Technical Reference Manual Appendix A. Schematics The schematics for the EDB9315A Development Board are located on the Cirrus Logic Developer’s Forum website ( arm.cirrus.com ). The schematics are provided in Adobe’s portable document format (PDF) and PADS™ format. OrCAD™ versions of the schematics are not available.
The instructions and screen shots in this Appendix make reference to the SolarWinds 6.0 TFTP server program. This program is not provided by Cirrus Logic. Other TFTP server programs may work equally well but will need to be verified by the developer.

Note: Note: You may get an IP address of 127.0.0.1 because the EDB9315A board does not have the boot loader code programmed yet. This is ok. Simply quit the TFTP server program. Instructions on when to start the program will be given during the board programming section.
Board Programming Setup 1. At this point, the RJ45 Ethernet port on the Windows PC is configured, HyperTerminal is running, the TFTP server is running, the Cirrus Logic software has been downloaded to the C:\TFTPROOT directory and the board is powered up.
